Moving n River for n City's Benefit.
From Leslie's Weekly.

Until about the beginning of the last
decade all the geography classes in
our schools were taught. and correct
ly, that the city of Vicksburg, Miss,
made historic during the Civil War,
was situated on the bank of the Mis-
sissippi river. This statement. how
ever, ceased to be a fact some ten or
more years ago, when the Father of
Waters, in one of his erratic moods.
forced a new channel for himself and
left Vicksburg perched on a high bluff,
several miles inland. The town, which
had been one of the most important
steamboat ports on the big stream.
was thus suddenly deprived of much
OF the traffic that mad caused II to
prosper. Strangely enough the misfor-
tune was an echo of the famous siege
of Vicksburg, and Gen. u. s. Grant
was primarily responsible for 1t. In
order that the Union gun boats might
run past the shore batteries unharm-
ed Grant sought to divert the waters
of the Mississippi away from the city,
by digging a new channel. The great
river refused at the time to take the
new course marked out for it. but it
eventually did so. more than thirty
years after such action could be of any
use to the Union army.
Naturally the people of Vicksburg
did not accept with good grace the
Mississippi's beIated performance, so
damaging to their material interests.
They clamOred for a restoration Of the
old days when they dwelt near navi-
gable water and when stately floating
palaces touched at their wharves and
trade 1ourished. They appealed to
Congress for aid, and the national
Lawmakers made an appropriation for
constructing a canal northward to the
Yazoo river. This canal was recently
completed and the water was let into
the channel deserted by the MISSISSIPPI
pi. The flow was abundant and filed
the space from bank to bank, making
Vicksburg once more a river town.
The event caused general rejoicing in
the city, which has already begun to
feel the good effects of renewed traf-

The Romantic story of Utah.


The migration of the first Mor1nons
lay between the Missouri river and the
valley of the Great Salt Lake was an
undertaking of extraordinary daring,
an expedition second perhaps i'll its
interest in American history only to
the coming of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Just as the Pilgrims launched their
ships upon a terrible and unknown sea,
these first pioneers of the West ven
tured into vast, strange land about
which they knew little aside from the
knowledge of the constant presence of
a hundred perils.
The people of Utah were the first to
establish themselves in the West. Ore
gon in 1S47 was disputed ground. Cali
fornia belonged to Mexico, and the
fforty-niners. the first American rion-
GERS OF that state, did not traverse
the prairie until two years later, and
after Utah was a settlement with
several thousand people. So that Utah
was then the very borderland. 1t was
there that the West took root.
The leaders Of the Mormons had de-
cided upon the far-distant West as the
future home of their people. They
had no more definite plan than that.
They had read of the valley of the
Great Salt Lake in the reports of Gen.
JOnn y. Fremont, the pdtn-Tl er,
who had seen the region in 1S43 They
had heard, too, of Oregon; and they
had considered Vancouver ISLAND. But
not until the expedition was we'll on
its way was the exact destination def
nitely determined. There were three
main bodies of emigrants who moved
from the camp at winter quarters en-
the Missouri river to the valley beyond
the Rockies. The first party num-

OLD CLOTHS OF ROYALTY.
Even the Kings Worn Out Garments
Are for Sale In the shops.

Even the Kings Worn Out Garments
Are for Sale In the shops.
From The Philadelphia Ledger.
London is somewhat shocked at the
display in a window of a shop de-
voted to the sale of secondhand cloth
ing of some discarded garments of the
King of England. The Kings clothes
when put aside by him, are given in due
time to one or the other of the royal
Wallets, just as those of the Queen come
finally into the possession of the maids
OF the royal household. and none is sup
posed to come into the public market.
The royal house linen is always sent to
the hospitals which are glad to get 1t,
as 1t is rot only Of the very be quality,
of couse but in excellent condition, be-
cause by an unwritten law nothing
darned or mended is used by royalty.
The sale of clothes of fashinoa BILE
people Is tncrs asing, by the way, in Lon
don and bringing increasingly good
prices. Such material is generally to be
found at places where they are sold
on commission. AS much as 5000 has
been given for a fur cape and $50 for a
little cap coat, while an evening dress
that may have cost $500 will bring $50
or $50 even when its first freshness has
departed. Twenty years ago there was
practically no market for such articles,
or perhaps II is more accurate to say
that' there was no supply of them, but
now the Secondhand Clothes Empor-
iums, with shops in the West end, are
IN active compentition with the "old

down at the council table of President
Washington. The post of Secretary of
the Navy was created in 1898, during
the presidency of John Adams. In 1929
at the beginning of Jacksons service,
the Postmaster General entered the
Cabinet. He was followed twenty
years later, in 1849, by a Secretary Of
the Interior, at the outset of the term
of Zachary Taylor. Just forty years
afterward, in the dosing days of Cleve-
lands first term, in 1889, a Secretary
of Agriculture was added to the list of
Cabinet posts. In 1903 one more ac-
QUESTION. a Secretary of Commerce. is
made to the official family OF President
Roosevelt.

now, have been a little more than
doubled since the first Presidents days,

TOLD or THE ACCIDENT.
Ensign Workman the Main Witness
at His TrfnI.

at Ills Trial.
Pensacola, Fla, March BIN the
court-martial of Ensign Ward X.
Workman to-day the accused contia-
ued his testimony, begun yesterday.
He related to the court a detailed ac-
count of the explosion on the battle
ship Massachusetts. So far the only
point brought out against the accused
is the fact that he was not in the tur-
ret and supervising the loading of the
piece, nor was he cognizant of the fact
that the gun had been primed for per-
cussion firing instead OF electrically,
as ordered.
Workman was on the outside of the
turret and did not notice that one of
the gunners had primed and loaded
the piece for percussion firing until
the gunner stepped back. Then he or
dered the man to change to cleo cric
firing, and in attempting to ease down
the lock the gunner allowed it to slip
from his hand with the piece partly
open, and the powder ignited. He
had received orders to fire electrically.
The foregoing is the substance of
Wortman's testimony to-day.
