Costly Structures Which Preserve New
Orleans From Ruin. .
If you picture in your mind an enor.
nous sickle, having a handle also at
the hooked end, you will have the Mis-.
sissippi river as it flows in yellow
swiftness past the city of New Orleans.
A hundred miles to the southwark it
pours out through it's many mouths
. into the broad, blue gulf. In the cres-
cent of the sickle, which gives to the
city it's name, lies New Orleans, and
no shaEp'bllaa III the hand Of tie nus
bandman thrust into ripening grain
was ever surer of its destructiveness
than would be this vast crescent Of
the Mississippi when once 1t should
be given away.
Sometimes when the river is at food
it's surface will rise twenty feet above
the level of the city's streets. In the
center of this stream it will then be
nearly 200 feet deep. with powerful
current, which, were it not for the pro-
tecting levee about the city, must
sweep everything before it. This giant
river, which has made this city pos
sihle, drains an enormous basin, its
watershed being greater IN area than
that of any river on the globe The
volume of water which flows past the
city is equal to 15O,0Oo,O00 cubic yards.
There are now nearly 1900 miles Of
levees on the lower Mississippi, and
Louisiana alone has spent since the
civil war nearly $30,000000 on the
river, while it costs the state 81 900 900
annually to maintain its levees, says
Ainslees Magazine. Strange as it may
seem, the deadliest enemies OF these
great earthen embankn.ents are the
Insignificant crawfish anu the muskrat,
for, once the slightest hole is made in
the levee by either of them, the relent-
less river finds its way through and
vast loss ensues.

TOWER FOR GERMAN MISSION.
Transferred from the Russian Mission

Berlin, Sept. 26.-President Roose-
velt has chosen Charlemagne Tower,
ambassador to Russia, to succeed Mr..
White as ambassador to Germany.
Notifications of this decision and that
Mr.. Whites letter of recall had been

BEEF PACKERS KNOCKED OUT.
RooseveIt's Speech Friehtens the Pro-
motors.
Chicago. Sept. 25.-The combination
of the great packing houses of the
country which has been under con.
sideration and in process of actu Al
formation for the last six months
has been abandoned, at least for the
present. says the Tribune. The deci,
sion not to contemplate the combina.
ton is due in large degree to the
attitude of the national administration
toward trusts as outlined by Presi.
dent Roosevelt in his recent speeches
and to the possibility that in the
event of consolidation congress
might remove the tariff on cattle.
.~ 1t was learned last night that a
final meeting of t4ie heads of the firms
known as the Big Four packing houses
in Chicago had been held, at which 1t
was agreed to end all negotiations al
once. ,
This was followed by an order issued
fzom the Office OF Swift & Co. that
the firms employees should immediate.
ly discontinue the inventory of prop.
erty and stock which had been orde:.
ed and started Tor the purpose If
tabulating report of the financial
condition of the company. which was
to have been used as basis of the

that John B. Paine, who was we'll known

Chicago May 9th. Nothing is known of
the cause. Mr.. Paine proved up on a

born at Ogdensburg, N. Y, in 1910. He

Broke His Leg.

Last Wednesday while going across

on which he was riding in such a way
that the hind wheel ran over his les,
breaking it between the knee and hip.
He was taken to the hotel where Doc

1t was found that the fracture was what
is called simple one and the chances
are that after prolonged lay up Mr..
West will be as we'll as evor. He was
taken to Duluth on the America Thurs
day whore he will enter a hospital. Gust
Olson accompanied him. West has
some money of bis own and his friends
quickly volun teered to advance any, that
he might need so that there was no
cause for any thought of the county
paying the expense as was stated.

A DULUTH ATTORNEY
is INTERVIEWED
The Following From a Recent
Issue of the Duluth Herald is
Not Strictly Facts but
Interesting.

J. B. Middlecoff returned this morn
ing from Grand Marais, where he went
to oppose the allowance of claim IN
probate court in Cook county.
A novel feature of the case ia the it
is No. 10 on the records of the office
since Cook county was organized. Pro-
bate Judge Mayhem is. not overburdened
with the cares of Office, and it is taken
to be evident that the residents of
Grand Marais are guilty of longevity
rather than improvidence.
The claim that Mr.. Middlecoff op-
posed had been filed against the estate
of William Cranwell, a pioneer and
unique character of Superior. He died
some time ago leaving property in Su-
perior and $50 acres IF valuable timber
and mineral land, situated in the east
ern part of Cook county. The claim IN
question was preferred by resident of
Missouri, who owned an ancient cabin
in Old Superior, which Cranwell had
occupied as home for twenty-six years.
Cranwell left his property in trust to
James Bardon, also an old resident of
Superior and one of it's foremost citizens
who was obliged to liquidate his iudebt-
edness and see to the apportionment of
the estate. Cranwell realized his in
d, btedness to the owner of the property
he had occupied, to some extent at least,
and left him $3.50 by will. The party
referred to is claimed to have quietly
filed claim of $14O0 for rent in the
probate court of Cook county, with tho
expectation that it would be allowed
without knowledge of the other parties
concerned. )
Judge Mayhem, in disal]owlng the
claim, said that he was familiar with
the property. used by Cranwell, and
thought that $25 would be ample re-
Enumeration for its use for the twenty
six years. n z@@@
