Lake. which occurred yesterday morn
ing has rapidly grown from a dozen
feet in length to a thousand. This
was the condition Of the crevasse this
afternoon at + O'Clock, when an As
sociated Press reporter left that leVee
north Of the break.
An arrangement is being made 70
tie each end Of the levee. but owing
n the difficulty il getting material
from the railroad. four miles away
the success Of the effort is doubtful
This cre7asse ais at the nead Of the
delta and will cause an overflow OF the
northern tier Of the counties in Mis-
sissippi with the exception q part
Of Tunica.
The situation that now conironts
the planters is duration Of the flood.
If the water Is out Of the delta by
Nav 5th. crop Of cotton can be
grown. but cotton planted as late as
May 10. has little chance Of maturing
before frost. There is still another
danger. The crevasSes must all be
closed before the June rise or there
will be a second overflow. The delta
country produces annually no less
than 5000, 900 bales Of cotton.

The salem city council tonight vii
have tOeOnsider the question - grant.
Jog new charter % the company
that nOw osas 10Th The street car
systems Of Salem. This Is = very in
portant matter r. the people u the
capital city.
It Is important that Salem have q
god street car system. II Il not al
all likely that city q this size would
b. entirely without car lines. II Is
more likely that a city Of Its size viii
have a system FAR IN advance u it,
needs.
The question Of granting such fran
cIis-s j. very Important one, and
generally Speaking charters are gran
tel ph.tty u1ch ~itliput rez1rl To
municipal rights being considered or
protected by the city authorities.
Either these public services mist
be performed By the city. or else char
ters must be granted to private cor
pOTatiOns. The tendency Of the
lins.s Is strongly 10 the direction Of
municipal ownership. The city Of
Nsyenre, Germany furnishes gas,
~ater and electric light ~ the people
for one-half what il COSTS at Portland
atIia>t year cleared enough profit 50
ihsl nn city tax Is to be levied this
,sar. The city nf Glasgow operates
sil street car lines and out Of the pro-
cc.ls pays all city expenses. But
the people OF western cities are MT
yet advanced 70 the point Of doing
these things. They will be some day.
IL Is assumed that the city council
will grant a charter to the corpora
tion that now asks the privilege Of
conducting all the street car lines IN
the Capital city. This charter has
not been made public, although II has
passed second reading and been re-
ferred. II Isnot likely that all the
aldermen know all its contents. or the
points wherein IL differs from the two
charters that II Is 10 take the place
of. Few Of the aldermen claim to
have the technical knowledge and le-
gal IrafuIug ~ understand the I'm
pOrtance OF all the points in yolumi-
nous charter. We repeat that this is
an important matter, and the grant
Ing OF charter upon which large
sums Of money are TO be borrowed and
expended, should be closely scruti-
nized from the public standpoint. 1t
Is virtually granting an exclusive
franchise ia the nature OF a monopoly.
The city will probably be benefited
10 having the street car system oper-
ated by one company. But even that
does not justify giving away the use
OF the public streets without due re-
gard 10 the general public rights In
the streets aud the interests Of the
various parts Of the city.
W is often complained OF as an evil
after charters are grated that no one
knew OF their import at the time OF
granting. II would seem as though
this city had outgrown It's swaddling
clothes aud had It's eyeteeth cut so as
to escape the result Of Indifference on
this matter.
The JOURNAL has no interest TO
promote Ia this matter. IL desires TO
be fair 10 the owners Of the old fran
chises and also just 10 the public. A
liberal charter privilege should be
granted but the common interests Of
the public should not be entirely
dIsiegnrded.
