dishonest than dishonorable by all our

giving space 10 the opinions Of physicians
OF eminence, who deny that ii Is either

and most enjoyable time was had by

OUR GREAT RIVER.
sonas Distressing Facts About the Father
of Waters.

How many Americans appreciate the
grandeur of their country's geography
How many know that there is no river
system on earth which even distantly COM
pares with that of the Mississippi and Its
tributaries?
The census tells us that these rivers, all
flowing through one channel into the gulf
of Mexico, aggregate more than 100. 900
miles In length. The Amazon, the Nile
the Ganges and all the rest of the great
river systems on earth put together scarce.
ly approach this magnificent showing.
Think of it A steamboat leaving Pitts
burg can visit 23 states without passing
through any artificial channel 1t can go
up the Allegheny and Monongahela, the
Big Sandy, the Kentucky, the Wabash, the
Tennessee and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
to Alabama-before reaching the mouth
of the Ohio.
Below Cairo 1T can traverse not only tho
Mississippi, but the st. Francois, the Ar
kansas, the White, the Red the Yazoo, the
Tallahatchee, the Yalobusha, the Ouachita,
the great bayous ard all the tributaries Of
these streams
Above Cairo lie the upper Mississippi,
the Illinois, the Missouri, tho Yellowstone,
the Platte, the Big Horn Ss.d score of
tributaries to all these. The supposititious
steamboat can land at 1850 towns and
cities on its way.
These rivers drain an area of 1858, 300
square miles, occupied by a population OF
24,29S, 1872 in 1890
The commerce of this great river system
was carried on in 1889 by 7,453 vessels,
with an aggregate tonnage of 1898, 37s
and value of SIS, $4,000.
And SO rich is that commerce that its
annual gross earnings exceed the total
value of the craft engaged in 1t by nearly
81 10000 1t carries nearly IL 1000, 00(
passengers and nearly 33,000,0 600 tons oi
freight per year.
And this is only one of the great river
systems of our country-one of many that
include such mighty systems as that of the
Yukon, that of the Columbia, that of the
Colorado and that of the Alabama at Tom
bigbee.
And from one end to the other of al
these rivers there is no custom house Il
stop traffic or to levy a cent of tribute up
on it,
1t is worth every Americans while tt
reflect upon the greatness of our land anC
to rejoice in it. 1t is worth while to re
member also that the resources of thil
marvellous country are far less than hal
developed. York World.
