FREAKS or THE MISSOURI
Has Ieft Part OF Omaha In Iowa and Psrs
of Iowa In Nebrasko.


OF Iowa In Nebraska.
Spring Is always a dangerous season
along the Missouri river, and much
money has been expended for the i'm
provement of that stream, which has
almost been so much money thrown
away, so erratic is II. The tickle Mis-
souri,, when full to. It's banks in the
spring, has a habit of cutting across
lots in any and every direction, demol-
ishing whole farms in q day.
This eccentric habit, which the Mis-
sourl river has SO sedulously cult.
waited, has resulted In some strange
situations. Thus, portion of the in
corporated limits of the city of Omaha
Is over In the state of Iowa, and dwell.

things up. Lake Manawa, a fashion
able summer resort In the suburbs of
Council Bluffs, Ia, belongs TO Sarpy
county, Nebraska. Both of these in.
congruities were caused by the cutting
of new channels during the spring
freshets and have been the cause Of
numerous litigations.
Recently hesupreme court was called
upon TO render a decision with regard
to that portion of Omaha which is over
in Iowa. North of the business part
OF the city lies what is known as
"Cut-off' Lake, so named from the
fact that II originally was the bed OF
the river until sudden whlm of that
stream sent the channel in another di-
rection and left this body of water in
the form of crescent lake.

tablished saloon in a boat anchored
in the middle of the lake and at
tempted to defy the law. This brought
the matter before the supreme court.
which decided that the middle of the
river was the boundary line between
the two states and that the boundary
changed with the changing channel.
Then, by a peculiar wrinkle of the
judicial mind, the same supreme court
was able TO formulate an addition to
this decision by which the changing
boundary clause was not effective in
cases of "cut-offs." which has left the
matter in such condition that no one,
not even the lawyers, has been able to
understand It. According to the SUI
preme court. portion of Omaha still
remains in Iowa, although the bound
ary between the two states, by this
same decision, is a mile or more to the
eastward.
The settlement of this boundary dis
pute will require an enactment by
Congress.-New York Times.

that the French people are absolutely
without any sentimental devotion to the
British throne, monarchy or the British
empire Their racial sympathies go out
to Franco, and their national patriotism
is for the country of the st. Lawrence,
which is La Patrie to them. At present,
it is true, this French Canadian popula-

is the sort of loyalty that with change Of
conditions may disappear in an hour So
in considering Canada as a. sort. of ma
ton in embryo, which may yet be vastly
altered by future developments, it must
be remembered that the less than 4,000,-
600 English speakers are to be taken into
account This is said without disparage-
ment Of the French-Canadians who are
very worthy, sturdy and vigorous people,
and who supply Canada with a splendid
industrial population. But they are
not British in sentiment any more
than in race, and they are
quite likely to prove source CT weak
ness as a factor of strength in the work.
ing out of any policy that seeks to at
tach Canada more closely than now to the
British empire. In estimating the
strength of the influence of the republic
on its northern neighbor, 1t must be re-

of 80, 100000 people on about 100000, in
