Valuable Newspaper Files.

The State Historical Society has
Just come into possession of a most
valuable file of old Miss ouri news
papers, the Missouri Intelligencer
and Boonslick Advertiser from 1919
to 1881. They were obtained from
Col. Switzler, together with file
of the Columbia Patriot for 1S41 and
to January |, lS43, when the States
man was established. These files
could not possibly be duplicated.
April %, 1919 Messrs. Patton and
Holiday commenced the publication
of weekly newspaper at Franklin,
called the Missouri Intelligencer
and Boonslick Advertiser, and it
was issued from that place until
June Is, 1926, when the place of
publication was moved to Fayette,
the county seat. 1t was published
at Fayette until April 8, 1880, and
was then moved to Columbia, where
to December 8, 1885, when it was
succeeded by the Columbia Patriot,
| the first number of which was issued
December IL, 1885.
The files just obtained by the
Historical Society are from the
| first number of the Intelligencer at
Franklin to it's final number at Co
lumbia. The Society obtained with
the above the Patriot from March
6, lS4l to December %, 1912. The
| five volumes of the Patriot pre-
ceeding lS4l We're not included in the
accession mentioned. 1t is doubtful
if files for these years are in
existence.
The information contained in the
eighteen years of these papers con-
corning the early history of this
part of the state can be appreciated
only by those who have occasion
to make research into matters of
the early history of the state and
territory, and the Historical Society
is fortunate in having these files as
part of the exceedingly valuable
collection it has already accumu-
lated.

A Civil War Souvenir.

Walter Jones, who lives with his
cousin, Eugene Scott west of Column
bia, showed the Statesman Monday
a Parole Prisoners pass" issued to
him in 1865 at Appomattox Court
House, Va, upon the surrender of
General Lee. The document reads
as follows:
"Appomattox c. H., Apr. 10, 1865.
"Paroled Prisoners Pass.
"The bearer, private Walter Jones, Of Co, r,
10th req, Va, cavalry, paroled prisoner of the
Army Of Northern, Va, has permission to go
to his home and there remain undisturbed.
rs. H. BuRK, Capt.
Com. BEALEs, Brig"
Mr.. Jones came to Boone county
in 1870, and until recently resided
near Browns Station. The dOcu-
ment, is considerably faded and
yellow from age and handling; but
Mr.. Jones prizes it highly as a relic
of the war in which he enlisted when
very young.

ROCKEFELLER'S NEW GIFT.

1t was announced last week that
John ID. Rockefeller had given
81 100000 to the executive COM
mittee of the Southern educational
conference that met Thursday in
Atlanta, Ga. Robert G. Ogden is
the head of the committee. The
gift is to be used not alone for
negro education, but equally for
blacks and whites. There is no
educational movement in the coun-
try that can equal the one this
conference contemplates. 1t will
be generously supported, and the
work as outlined promises to be
wonderfully practical. Education
in the South will be promoted
without regard to race, creed or
sex, and every effort will be made
to prevent loss of energy by
duplication. The public school
system will be developed, especial,
ly in the country districts, ex-
isting institutions will be aided,
training schools for teachers will
be established, the principle of
self-help developed, information
collected on educational matters,
an effort to keep the public in
touch with the work will be made
and public opinion educated in the
matter, and as far as possible
every form of educational work
will be promoted. During the past
thirty years millions of dollars
have been given to aid education
in the South, and with this money
much has been done to eliminate
the ignorance in this section OF
the country. The results have no.
been satisfactory, however, many
mistakes having been made, and
it is to be hoped that the experience
of the past will prevent as many
in the future. The work will be il
the hands of an organization to b'
known as the general educationa
board, and the great amount o.
money which has been contribu
ought to make it possible to effec
very important results.

buildings in the omnibus building
bill, now pending in the Senate. AS
passed by the House the bill con-
tained provisions for new buildings
at st. Louis, Nevada and Louisiana,
with increases for Joplin and st.
Joseph and autho rity to sell the old

and apply the proceeds to the en-
largment and completion of the new
building. Present indications are
that amendments will be offered by
the Senate making appropriations
for post Office buildings at Columbia

The Senate committee on public
buildings and grounds will meet,
probably on Tuesday to take up the
| consideration of the omnibus build
ing bill as passed by the House.
The regular meeting day of the COM

will be made this week to secure a
meeting on Tuesday. 1t is estimat-
ed that about 81, 100000 will be added
by the Senate to the House bill.
The House bill carried appropria-
ton for new buildings amounting to

The average American. II asked TO

thing after this fashion:
1T is not set down In black and white

as parliament tells him"
The American would thus have an
swered according TO the spirit Of Brit
ish law theoretically, however. his
answer would be as far wrong as could
we'll be imagined
Under the British constitution the
powers of ministers and members Of
parliament are defined and confined.
But what the king may and may not
do Is not written. II is an astonishing
fact that the crown Is Itself the inter

The limitations TO the kings powers

A significant indication Of the agricul-
tural progress Of the west is the growth
Of public opinion towards the fullest
possible use Of the streams for irriga-
ton, and especially toward the conser-
walton OF the winter and gpunI
waters which now run to waste.
\ recent report received by the Unit
ed States geological survey, in it's study
Of the country's water resources, from
Mr. A, l.. Fellows, resident hydro
grapher Of the survey for the state Of
Colorado, throws interesting light upon
the water situation now existing in
that state
The urgent necessity for storage OF
water. says Mr.. Fellows, was never
more fully demonstrated than by the
great scarcity of water in Colorado
during the present irrigation season.
The gaglng Of the streams by the Unit
ed States geological survey show lower
stages than have ever been known be-
fore at the same season, and the fact
that winter flow of considerable mag

that a number Of floods Of short dura-
ton, resulting from violent rain
storms, were left unutilized, have OPEN
ed the eyes Of irrigOtOrs as never be-
fore TO the necessity for storage.
Although the shortage has been most
marked upon the eastern slope OF the
Rockies. the same is true to a less cx-
tent upon the western slope, Whereas
In the eastern streams there has been
practically no high stage, water being

These facts taken in connection with
