RIVER HAS CHANGED COURSE.
Biologists Convinced Missouri Has
Shifted Channel.


COLUMBIA, July 26, New proof has
been found that the Missouri river
once ran far north OF its present course
in Boone and Galloway counties. James
A. Dickinson, the recorder OF Galloway
county, who owns farm in the SOUTH
ern part Of the county, sank a well on
it some time ago and 40 feet below the
surface of the earth he found an old
river rack heap.
The well was nearly two miles north
Of the present course of the river. Con-
siderable debris'was taken out Of the
well and thrown to one side. 1t con-
sisted of old pieces Of wood, leaves and
other vegetable matter that would ac-
cumulate in the bed of a river. A
short time after the well was dug,
sprout came up out Of the debris and
1t is now a cottonwood tree several
inches In diameter. There is no doubt
that this seed had lain dormant in the
sand for hundreds of years and finally
sprung into life when exposed to the
air.
1t was only short time before Mr..
Dickinson dug his well that Louis
Pinet, who was sinking well on his
place, near Tebbets, mile and one
half from the river, found the remains
Of an Indian canoe in good state OF
preservation.
II the river occupied now what these
rack heaps indicate to have been its
ancient channel, 1t would leave Jeffer-
son City two miles from the river.
Biologists long have held the theory
that the river has shifted back and
forth from bluff to bluff and are elated
at this apparent proof of their theory.

MORGAN'S ART TREASURES
Those He Has in Europe Are Worth
81 600 600.

New York, March 16.-"J Pierpont
Morgan has art treasures in Europe
valued at fully seven million dollars.
which he desires to bring to the United
States
This statement was made by Henry
J. Duveen, the art dealer, who is falniI-
lar with the financier's purchases
abroad Mr.. Duveen said he was not
surprised at the statement teIegraphed
from Washington that the duty on the
paintings, art objects. and statuary
would amount to three million dollars
if brought to this country.
I am quite familiar with Morgan s
purchases abroad Duveen said and
while I am not at liberty to state in
detail what he has in storage there /
may say it is enough to fill an ordinary
museum"
In this connection it is recalled that
oath before the board Of assessors that
his personal property is not worth
more than $400 600.
1t is impossible, of course. to give a
complete catalogue of Mr.. Morgan's art
treasures purchased and held in Eu-
rope. The following is a list of a few
of his treasures and the prices he paid
for them
Frangonard-Du Barry panels. 81, ooo. 600
Mannheim ceramics ...-..... $50, 00o

TARIFF LAW DENOUNCED.
What Mr.. Morgan has to say about
the tariff rates in these things" said
Mr.. Duveen in discussing the matter,
I quite agree with. 1t is outrageous
that this country should lay a tax of
this kind on works Of art brought in by
private collectors when the large part
of them find their way ultimately into
museums and galleries, where they re-
the people. The present tariff, of course,
makes no distinction between art collec-
tons brought in by individuals and
those which dealers may import for sale.
The entire proceedings seem to be to be
altogether inconsistent with the princi-
pies of democratic people"
MORGAN DECLARES LAW UNJUST.
The Washington dispatch referred to
said that Mr.. Morgan talked with Sec
rotary Shaw at some length about the
tariff law as applied to paintings and
other works of art, declaring that the
present law is extremely unjust ana
burdensome He told Secretary Shaw
airy and other art objects in Europe
which he wished to bring to this coun-
try. The greater part of the collection
is now in London.
It could not be learned at the treas
ury department that Mr. Morgan ex-
poets to secure any ruling of the depart
ment by which any portion of his art
collection may be brought in free of
duty, but he did say emDhatieally the
law ought to be changed.
