MILLIONS FOR LEvEES.
Why Not Use a Portion of This Money
for Reservoirs?

why Not Use Portion of This Money
for Reservoirs?
The history of levee construction on
the Mississippi river has been a long
one. The first levee was begun in
17l7, which was, when completed, one
mile long, erected to protect New Or
leans, then mere village. This leyee
was four feet high and 18 feet across at
the top. 1t was not, however, until
after Louisiana had been ceded to the
United States that levee construction
was begun on large scale. As the
work progressed up the river and addi-
tional basins and bottoms we're en-.
closed. the levees necessarily increased
in height. The average height of the
leyees in Louisiana above New Orleans.
is now between IL and l3 feet, and this
heigh+ proved insufficient in the great
flood OF 1897. This flood indicates to
the off cial engineers that three or four
teet additional will be required.

People Require Material tO Build Them

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 10.-Miss
Clara Barton, president of the Nation
al Red Cross Society, today issued
statement to the manufacturers and
business men of the country in which
she appeals to them for aid in the way
of material to be used in the building
of homes for those who lost their all
in the recent storm. 1t is addressed
''To the manufacturers and dealers In
lumber, hardware, builders materials
and household goods and to the busi-
ness men in general of the United
States," and says:
"We believe it is reliably stated that
there is not one house in the area of
the storm undamaged by it. A large
proportion of those persons formerly
occupying them are strictly entirely
without homes or even shelter, save
such as persons nearly as destitute as
themselves can offer them temporarily
to their own great inconvenience and
cost.
sThe number of this homeless class
is estimated at 5000 or more. Winter
is less than two months away. AL
though mild climate, still snow and
ice are known here. If tents would
protect, which they will not, the sand
would not hold them down. Some
substantial shelter must be had at
once for these people.
"The havoc wrought by the storm in
Galveston at once was much larger in
loss of life and property than as Johns
town, but the donations in money SO
far have aggregated one-tsir6 less Tor
both the city and mainland than was
given at Johnstown.
"While the bountiful outpouring of
the peoples generosity has enabled the
general relief committee and the Red
C1oss to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked and render the streets of Calves
ton partially passable, nothing has as
yet been done toward reinstating the
impoverished survivors in houses where
they can escape disease and enjoy a
slight measure of tile comforts of
which the storm deprived them.
s'It is for the purpose of awakening
the sympathies of the American people
and further appealing to their bounti-
full instincts to rescue these sufferers
from the hardships still confronting
them that the foregoing statements
have been put forth. "

Tin Plate Mills Resume.

Pittsburg, Oct. 10.-The American
Tin. Plate Company will have in opera
tion this week 20 of its tin-plate plants
out of So giving employment to at least
80, 900 workmen. The tin-plate COM
pany employs in all over $4,000 work
men, and within few weeks, it is
said, every plant in the country will be
working. The Monongahela mill, of
this city, the Demler plant and the one
at Remington started today, and the
others will follow as soon as possible.
Nearly every plant in the gas belt will
commence tonight, and by the end of
the week every one of the 20 will be
operating to their full capacity. The
plants have been idle since the explra'
ton of the scale in June last.

Peary Not Yet coming Home.

St. Johns, N. F., Oct. 9.-The fail
ure of the Peary exploring steamer
windwara to return from the north
leads local observers to believe that
the explorer will not attempt to get
back this autumn. Probably the sea.
son just passed was an open one in the
far north. Should that have been the
case, Lieutenant Peary is likely to
have taken the Windward into some
high latitude, hoping to use her in q
further expedition next season.

Taken to Help Our Trade.
Manila, Oct. 1O.-Four troops of
cavalry and two com panies of infantry
have recently reinforced General Young
in Northern Luzon, where the insur-
gents are concentrating in the noun
tains of North and South Ilicos prov.
inces under the leade1 ship of Aglipay,
the communicated priest and rene

General Tinio and General VILLAIN

time, are now showing signs of becom-

on approaches.
OF late there has been considerable
scouting and skirmishing in the prov
inces of Abra and North Ilocos, though
without decisive results. 1t is obvious,
however, that the maneuvers of the
Filipinos are more sikllful than former
ly and that the field tactics of the
Americans are being followed by them.
Senior Mateni, the founder of the So
called Filipino government, who was
captured by the Americans last Decem-
ber and lodged in Jail in Manila, has
been liberated. AS he had always per
sistently refused to take the oath of al.
legiance to the United States govern
ment he had maintained his reputation
among the Filipinos as a resolute pat.
riot. They now believe that he has
reached private understanding with
the American authorities which has
secured his release, and consequently
he has lost some of his popularity, al.
though he is still considered the leader
of the dormant revolutionary element.
This week the commission will begin
the work of revising the tariff, making
use of the results on the Investigation
of the army board in this direction
1t is the intention of the commission
to give American trade better chance

to the high duties.

Distress in Cuba.

Havana, Oct. 10.-Governor-Genera
Wood, who returned yesterday from
tour of investigation in the province OF
Santa Clara, reports only partial re-
coyery from the effects of the war in
that section of the island. Although
he found no actual want in the district
of sancti Spiritus, for instance, there
was great need of assistance to allevi-l
ate agricultural distress. This was
asked for by the municipality OF Sancti
spiritus, and has been granted by Gen,
eral Wood from the insular fund

Fortunes Appropriated.

Millions and millions of dollars have
been appropriated by the federal gov
ernment for the building of these levees
and other constructions intended to
protect the surrounding country from
floods, and millions more must be ap-
propriated by every congress to come
unless other steps are taken to prevent
these floods. These measures OF the
government are merely palliative; they
do not 60 to the root of the evil. The
report of Captain Hiram Chittenden. of
the government engineer corps, how.
ever, shows that there is way to
strike at the trouble itself, and largely
prevent the floods instead of trying to
enclose them between banks after they
have become such.

Tracks and Pounded Into Scrap-
irOn-Mines Disabled.

Biwabik, Minn., Oct. 9.-The tor
nado that ragged in this vicinity last
evening was most violent. The storm
cut a pathway $50 feet in width
through the northwestern corner of the
town, completely wrecking several
buildings. The property loss is esti-
mated at $10O, 600 and the known fa-
talities mum ber nine, with scole or
more injured, some severely.
The storm swept in a northwesterly
direction after leaving here and struck
a little Finnish settlement near Pike
lake, where number of buildings
were wrecked, in one of which an en-
tire family, consisting of husband, wife
and four children, were instantly
killed. So far their names have not
been obtained. It is believed when
the more remote districts are heard
from further casualties may be re-
ported.
The house in which the Marowitz
family lived was completely wrecked,
and the body of Mrs. Marowitz was
her body being broken and her clothing
completely stripped off. The body OF
her husband was found amid the debris
of their home horribly mutilated.
William Hilstrom was struck on the
head by a falling tree and his skull
crushed. He afterward died at the
hospital.

motives and cars were shifted from the
tracks and poundeds> into scrapiron.
The engine on which Murray and An
ders were when the storm broke was
blown from the track and the men
were pinned beneath it and horribly
burned by the escaping steam. Sew
eral cars were blown from the Duluth,
Mississippi & Northern tracks and we're
found in the Duluth mine pit, hum
dreds of feet away. Many OF the
buildings destroyed were owned by the
mining companies, and tenanted by
their employees. The shafthouse and
buildings of three minss were reduced
to kindling wood.
The tornado which lasted less than
five minutes, was preceded by an un-
usually severe thunder and rain storm.
The rain has flooded many of the open
pit mines, and they cannot be operated
for some time.

and i've hundred pounds OF dynamite
in the powder magazine at the Pruce
mine, situated half mile from town,
blew up about $50 O'Clock this after

feet deep marks the spot where the
magazine stood. The force of the ex.
plosion was so great that it smashed
every pane of glass within radius ol
two miles. The mine laboratory and
warehouses were totally wrecked.
At least 200 people were hurt more
or less from being thrown down by the
shock or hit by shattered glass. The
explosion was plainly felt at Biwabik,
