Forest City Summit: There seems to
be scarcity of school teachers this
year. and it is not surprising that such
is the case. A young man or woman
who is competent to teach good school
can usually find plenty of employment

month is certainly not very big pay for
first-class teacher.

What the end will be not even the wisest
seem able at this time to determine But
that the end of the Austrian nation as a
nation is at hand there is no doubt.
Continental Europe is fast resolving it
self into its original elements of Latin,
Teuton. Slav. It is on these lines that
political society will shape itself in the
future. That nation which does not be-
long to either of these great divisions
will not count in the dispensatien of the
worlds affairs. The weaker states, Spain,
Italy, Belgium. Holland, Denmark and
the Scandinavian peninsula must be con-
tent to live under sufferance. How long
it will be before the national concentra-
tion set in no one may say; but that the
dominant races Of the present century
on the continent of Europe will be the
Slavonian and the Germanic, to the prac-
teal exclusion of all others, there is no
room to question.

ToMoRRow,s CYSTIC CARNIVAL"

Tomorrow evening at the Exposition
building, in Minneapolis, the public is
promised 1.-The greatest istic carnival in
the history of the Northwest" 1t is true
that the statutes of Minnesota prohibit
prize fights and sparring matches It Is
true, also, that Gov. Van SAINT has pro-
claimed that the law in this respect shall
not be violated during the two years of
his administration. 1t is true, moreover,
that the chaplain of the state legislature
thanked the Almighty, on the morning
after the governors rash proclamation,
that Minnesota had a governor who was
disposed to enforce the laws of God and
the state legislature in respect to prize
fighting. The fistic carnival of tomorrow
night will go on just the same, we are in
formed, just as the Knockout fight of
few weeks ago went. 1t will come off in
the presence of "a vast crowd" as ad-
vertised; for it is understood that Van
SAINT did not mean anything by his recent
manifesto on that subject. A special
train load of Chicago sports, bearing a
dozen of the professional lights of the
fistic arena. and bringing likewise the
great and only George Siler, Referee"

IRRIGATION ON THE NILE

British brains and enterprise is about
TIC convert the valley of the Nile into
veritable garden of Eden. What Jo-
seph attempted when he was virtual
ruler of Egypt will be accomplished bv
the present Egyptian government with
the counsel and assistance of British en-
gineers and capital
A dam across the Nile near It's mouth
has for some time made the delta an
agricultural paradise. The success of
this first attempt to hold the surplus wa
ter for the time of need was so great
that a second dam was projected at As
souan, 200 miles up the valley. This en-
terprise has just been completed. 1t Is
stupendous structure of granite-a tri-
umph of engineering skill and will retain
the waters of the Nile sufficient to irri-
gate the valley for $50 miles back and
down to the dam above the delta. An
other dam 800 miles further Up the Nile
is under way which when constructed
will complete system of irrigation LOO
miles long and from 100 to 300 miles
broad
Here is an object lesson for the United
States on the question Of redeeming our
desert empire Of the West. With these
immense reservoirs the tillers of the val
ley of the Nile will not be subject to
the capricious fluctuations of that his
toric stream, but can SOW with the alb
solute certainty of reaping in time of
harvest. The predictions of the en-
gineers. who constructed the lower dam
on the Nile near Cairo have been yeri-
fed so completely. that entire confidence
is felt in the promises made on behalf
of the reservoir at Assouan.
It would pay the government or the
National Irrigation association to dis
patch a committee of experts to exam
inc and report on this British Egyptian
system of irrigation

this Nile enterprise for other than agri-
cultural and scientific reasons

pose. The scheme to reclaim the great

has a deeper meaning than a desire to
furnish British textile factories must
come from some other and nearer source
than America and India. This is i'm
perative. The competition of the United
States will otherwise drive the British
products out of the worlds markets. AS
Napoleon saw in Egypt a field. Of con-
quest and basis from which he could
strike England in the East, so England
sees in Egypt field for a commercial
ccnquest-a means by which she can op-
pose the ruinous advance of American
competition.
With the vast valley of the Nile sub
ject to the dominion of man, England
will have at her back door a cotton-pro
ducing section as great as our Southern
states; not SO great in geographical ex-
tent but fully as great in producing pow
er.
1.-The new is old and the old Is ever
new" The enterprise of the twentieth
century returns to the cradle Of the
world to drive back the desert lands and
to people it again with millions of busy
toilers. The engineering skill that rear
ed the pyramids left an enduring monu-
ment but the skill that erected the AS
souan dam will do more, it will cause
the Sphinx toospeak after it's centuries
of silence and~in the smiling valley will
reveal to us what Egypt was when the
Pharaohs ruled.

main with him during the period of one

settling those of one given nationality in
one given locality is attended with some
measure OF danger. 1t tends to lengthen
the time when they or their descendants
adopt American ways; when they adopt
the national speech and become lost in
the great homogeneous mass of American
ism. But there is no case on record
where even with the tendency toward
segregation Of foreigners settled In Amer
lea they have continued beyond the sec
ond generation to remain aloof from
their American neighbors or associates.
or to refuse to discharge the obligations
Of American citizenship.
Forces have always been at work to
perpetuate national divisions in the Unit
ed States. But they have been unsuc-
cessful thus far. While in many West

of Irish, French. Germans, Russians,
Scandinavians, Bohemians, Poles and
other distinctively European peoples and
while they often maintain their own ma.

rections, their attachment to American
institutions is unquestionabIe; and they
give when occasion demands the highest
proofs Of that devotion.
AS long as the immigrants come here
to stay, as the mass of them do. there
Is nothing to be feared. It is only the
migratory classes which come here to
acquire money to spend on their return

Of as little consideration as SO many

Fished hard for one, two, three, four
By an by he fished some more.
Some time he fish with old dry bait,
Sometime he fish with wet
He give the dry bait to the fish,

Then one, two, three passed by;
They smell of that old dead, dry bait
And wink the other eye.
By an by one. great big bass come along,
So old he neither smell nor see,
And ate that old, dry bait.
The fisherman stood very still
And reeled out yards of line
He worked that poor old blind black bass
So very, very fine.
BY an by the fish began to pull,
By an by he pull some moro,
And then was fun in LAX San Claire,
Bout six miles out from shore.
The fish he plunge like one mad horse.
And then he pulled Ike ten

Big boat and four big men,.
He pulled like bass bout six feet long,
May be he be bout seven.
May be, If not pulled out right quick,
He'll grow to be bout leven.
BY an by they pull that bass half out.
By an by they pull him more,
And LAX San Claire fell four. five feet,
Bout six miles cut from shore.
Then Lime Kiln Crossing got so low
The boats they could not pass;
And Dan he say the river fell
