Judge Tsylor,s Views.

Robert 8. Taylor, member OF the
Mississippi river commission, who
arrived at indianapolis, Saturday,
direct from the flooded territory. says
the conditions in the river valley are
bad enough. but not so bad as might
be thought from general reports. This
food had been expected for three years
and the commission had been expend-
ing all this time strengthening levees.
When the deluge came the commission
had completed one thousand, three
hundred miles OF levees. Mr.. Taylor
said that up to this time ten miles only
of the levees are washed away. Ten
per cent. of the twenty-nine thousand
square miles of terri DRY subject to
overflow is inundated. He says the
worst is yet to come, as the river is
still rising at lower end. He believes
the test made indicates that the theory
of the commission. that it is possible to
build leyees which will prevent over
flow, is tenable. This is an unusual
test, for the reason that waters which
arc higher than ever before come up
suddenly and put strain on the levees
without having first secured the river
bed Mr.. Taylor says the commission
is satisfied that by adding two feet OF
earth to the system the leyees can stand
any volume of water that may come
down the valley. Authority for this
addition will be asked for.

Cotton Cron Cat short.

st. Louis factors say enormous dam
age has been done to cotton planting
interests in the south as q result Of the
food in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louis
lana and portion of southeastern
Missouri. 1t is estimated on a conserv-
alive basis that the inundated territory
along the Mississippi produces an an
nual average of ], 800, 900 bales of the
highest grade cotton. From present
indications the average output will be
materially decreased by the ravages of
waters; in fact. in many localities it is
doubtful if any crop at Gil will be
raised, while in others there will be a
sickly yield. A million and a half
bales OF cotton, even at the ordinary
price, aggregate probably $50, 900, coo
and conservative estimates place the
damage to cotton alone at about this
figure, not to take into consideration
other losses incident to the food.
