formed an enormous dam across the
gulf, and as soon as the dam became
tight an inland lake was formed on
the northern side. That lake, be-
coming a sort of dead sea, gradually
evaporated and left the great, dry
empty basin known as the Colorado
desert. The present rupture results
in the water of the river pouring in
to the northern basin instead of into
the gulf below.
THE chief point of interest now be-
comes the probable permanency of
the new lake. If the shift is perma-
nent the gulf and lake may burst
away the barrier of sand that has
divided them so long, and rush again
into the primeval embrace, but it is
not improbable that the action of
the water which resulted in the orig
inal separation may again fill in a
barrier, leaving an inland sea to
again disappear through the process
of evapOratiOn"

as democrat, Mr.. Hamlin, previous
to the breaking out of the war, pulled
away from the tendencies of his
party and allied himself with the
republicans on the formation of that
party, and he had ever since been an
earnest advocate and loyal support
er of republican principles. He was
a great traveller and his presence
was hailed with delight at many a
public gathering, to which he was
generally ready to contribute of his
sound sense. The friendship between
Mr.. Hamlin and Mr.. Lincoln was
deep and warm, and the former al
ways manifested tender reverence
for the memory of the martyred pres
ident.

who was the last surviving ex-vice-
president.

HANNIBAL HAMLM.

In the death of Hannibal Ham1in,
which occurred on the evening of
July 4, at Bangor, the state of
Maine loses a citizen of whom she
has for many years past been justly
proud, and the country loses a
statesman who has done her valiant
service and who stood by her most
nObly in the dark days when her
existence was threatened. The end
came suddenly, while the people were
noisily celebrating the nations in
dependence.
Hannibal Hamlin was clean man,
and his record is one that stands out
prominently in history, smirched by
no foul blot. 1t was his lot to be
called to high position at time
when to occupy such places was to
assume heavy responsibilities and
bear pressing burdens. But this
man was equal to it all, and his
name, closely coupled with that of
permanent place in the memory of
all who love their country and who
admire sterling patriotism.
Mr. Hamlin was born at Paris,
Me-, August 81, 1909; he learned
the printers trade, but took up law
and was admitted to practice in
1898; served his state in the legisla-
ture, and in 1910 was nominated
for congress by the democrats, hold
ing joint discussions with his COM
petitor; defeated this time, he was
elected in 1912 and again in 1914; sent
to the U. S. Senate in 1S4S and re-
elected in 1851 and served there I'M
til 1861, with the exception of
brief period during which he was
governor of Maine. In 1861 he was
chosen vice-president on the ticket
with Lincoln, and held that position
till 1865. Sent to congress originally

A CHANGE IN THE DESERT.

Possibly some of our readers may
be acquainted with the story of the
appearance of an immense lake in
the great American desert. The
coming of this body of water has
awakened considerable interest
throughout the country by reason
of its probable effect upon the sur
rounding region. The Free Press
says:
ut has been fairly determined that
the water comes from the Colorado
river through break which allows
it to escape into the desert below
through Caresco creek, the break be-
ing the result of an earthquake shock.
To understand the situa ton, glance
at the topography of the country is
necessary. The Colorado desert,
which includes Death valley, is about
40 miles long by 70 miles wide, and
5000 square miles of that great area
are about 16O feet below the level of
the sea. The basin is situated in the
southern part of California between
the mountain ranges Of San Jacinto
and San Bernardino, and derives its
name from the Colorado river, which
empties into the gulf of California.
The river originally emptied into
the gulf of California at a point
about 200 miles south of the CULTS
northernmost point. According to
one theory the river. being a great
carrier of sand and silt, gradually

Here is curious bit of temperance
literature that's found in news dis
patch concerning a contest over a
rise in transportation rates. The
managers of the Ogdensburg line,
with headquarters at Chicago, were
the last to agree to the advance, and
it was claimed that the reason for
their holding out after other lines
had come into the scheme was that
they were fettered by strike among
their freight handlers. And now it
turns out that the saloon keepers in
the vicinity of the docks were really
at the bottom of the strike and were
urging the strikers TO hold out for
higher wages, because ''in any event
the saloon keepers got 80 cents Of
every dollar the men earned" One
can scarcely draw the line beyond
which the accursed traffic will not
reach to accomplish its end.

Judging from the occurrences at
Montpelier on the night before the
Fourth, there are indica tions of
serious times there, between the
liquor sellers and the temperance
people, unless the latter rise in their
might and insist on a cessation of
the nefarious traffic, which has for
some years past been carried on at
the capital with startling boldness.
When a liquor raid is followed by
revengeful attacks on the residences
of citizens who are supposed to be
active in temperance work, it is time
for decisive action in behalf of law
and order. The women of M ontpelier
are said to be mainly responsible for
the wholesale raid there on Friday
night.
