HOW SHIPS WERE BUILT
A Further Investigation of the Affairs
 of the Trust,

New York, Oct. 16.-The entire time of today's hearing of the United States Shipbuilding company investi- gation before Referee Oliphant was given to the taking of testimony cov- ering the incorporation and organiza- tion of the company in New Jersey. Frederick s. Edward, Horace Gould and Kenneth McLaren. young men connected with the Corporation Trust company of New Jersey, who acted either as incorporators or directors of the shipbuilding combination, were called to the stand and questioned as to the circumstances under which they served the promoters of the trust.
 It is claimed .hat the original di- rectorS were simply dummies and that while the forms of the law were close ly followed at all of the meetings none of the directors were properly holders of stock and none of their acts was of legal value.

FLOOD PREVENTION AND lRRIGA
 TON.

Under the foregoing heading Senator Burton of Kansas has contributed an interesting article to the October num- be, of the North American Review which is well worth the tima of any man to read with care.
 Senator Burton takes the position that in controlling floods we have neglected the most important means A great river filled to the top of it's banks with torrent is an enormous power, difficult if not impossible to control. To keep this great body of water within bounds by constructing leVees is a task which taxes the great est engineering skill and involves an enormous expense. Whatever may be the merits of this system, Senator Burton would relieve the strain upon the entertainments by holding back the floods with reservoirs.
 The subject is oi the depest interest to the lower valleys of our rivers and also to the arid and semi-arid regions of the west. Flood prevention and ir- rigation should. in the opinion of Sen ator Burton. go hand in hand. The water held back by reservoirs could be used to make fertile lands now arid or supplied with so small a rainfall liisfL without lfrlgatl0n is precarious. The land thus irrigated would itself act a as reservoir, holding the water like a sponge and increasing the storage capacity of the country. To this may be added a phase of the subject to which Senator Burton seems rot to have given so much at tention as to some others. The water impounded' would ultima tely, in at least a great part, find it's way back to the stream and thus reinforce the lat ter when. otherwise, it's volume would be at a low stage. Thus Kansas, for instance, by impounding it's storm waters and preventing floods could provide not only for irrigation. but also for the reinforcement of it's rivers in times of low water.
 The attention of the men in Kansas who are trying to put a stop to irriga- l tion in Colorado should be given to Senator Burton's article, and especially to that part of it which shows that as a result of the construction of irriga- | tion reservoirs along the Arkansas the | lower courses of that river were not | troubled with devastating floods like the one that swept down the valley of the Kaw and laid waste Topeka and other Kansas towns.-Denver Republi- can.

THE VILLAGE DRUGGIST.

I was in the village drug store buy ing a tooth brush when the feed store man from across the street strolled in and took a seat on the counter and helped himself to a cigar.
 Calling the druggist by his front name. he said that if it was his store he'd make about twenty different changes in it before sundown-changes which the druggist ought to have made long ago, and without waiting for sug- gestions. Then he'd go at it and mark up the price of sponges and mark down the price of chloride of lime, buy stick ly f1y-paper by the ton and go q good deal shorter on boraX.
 It was his opinion that camphor was going to come up and quinine take a crop, and if the druggist didn't take advantage of it he was a short-sighted man. He also had am idea, and his ideas never went back on him. that it was going to be hard winter for cas- toc oil, while ginger would be more plentiful than for years before.
 He made no charge for his advice, being a neighbor and wishing to see the druggist do well, but it was his conviction that the druggist ought to lay in enough copperas to last for five years while the price was down, and that he should go short on consump- tion cures and hair dyes until he saw what sort of a winter we were going to have.
 I tried to crowd in as he was trying to find his breath after ten minutes of steady talking, but he hurried up and caught it before my purchase was com pleted, and went on:
 Now, Homer. l have your interests at heart, and there's nothing selfish about me. 1 want to see you do well here, and so I remind yoU that drug store is not a coal mine. In coal

THE FEATHER TRAFFIC VlGOR
 OUSLY DENOUNCED,

It is hard to realize how bad taste could have so hardened the hearts of some women as to make them deadly foes of the feathered tribes. Before our time songsters were not chosen for human decoration. Artists represent our lady ancestors who did not wear coronets with garlanded mantillas and similar coQuettish headgear. Knights wore the plumage of birds of prey when they donned a suit of armor for tournament or battle. But the modern women who emulate this example sport aigrettes of the most useful and handsomest birds, regardless of the misery which their use inflicts. Women who are bound to satisfy cruel desire for the fea athers that memorable fashion demands allow whole species of birds to be eXterminated. The herons oi the south are killed while they breed. in order to procure their handsome bridal plumage, and their young are left to die. These birds prey on crayfish, which by tunnelling through the leveeS of Louisiana cause enormous damage. Millions of humming and paradise birds ares sacrificed to gratify female vanity Unless checked ruthless spolia- tion eventually will annihilate all lflDeS the pluIlleS oI WHICH HOW Sfatlfy and please the friends of nature.
 The Audubon Society of the state of New York has initiated measures for an international agreement to suppress the neiarious trade in feathers, which certainly can be made difficult if the humane societies of all civilized coun- tries unite on proper measure. The
 feathers of no beneficial wild bird should be allowed to pass the custom house of any country. When concealed and detected they should be seized | as contraband, and the guilty owner | when found, severely punished.
