 growing crops destroyed for the entire season. Frequently the damage would reach millions of dollars, and often bank
 ruptcy stared the planters in the face as | the result of the conditions suggested, and this in spite of almost superhuman exertions and expenditure of brawn and
 money during the annual and discour-
 aging fights made against the threaten ing disaster.
 Since the year mentioned the levee situation has continually improved, and although the record established in 1887
 was exceeded considerably by that of 1903. yet this last year. in spite of an un-
 precedented flood level, less damage was done and less anxiety was felt than in a.. the history of severe stages of the big river. This bears ardent proof of the efficacy of the levee system and the fact that the river may be kept within bounds
 and comparatively innocuous by a proper
 system. and a system which can be main-
 tained, provided the necessary funds are
 there for levee construction and protec- ton.
 "The severe and constant strain upon the resources or the leVee states for the maintenance of the levee system has un- doubtedly retarded their development, and the burden imposed upon these States Is undoubtedly burden which the entire
 Mississippi Valley and the people of the United States are jointly interested in. Mississippi and Arkansas contribute but very little to the high stage of the
 Mississippi river, while Louisiana con-
 tributes nothing at all, it's drainage being
 altogether away from the big river and
 into the great repositories along the coast line. Yet in spite of these facts, 1t must
 be considered that the entire drainage of | twenty-six States and territories dumped
 into the Mississippi at different points
 must threaten and frequently overwhelm l the bulwarks maintained and rebuilt fir
 times of disaster by the people of the in- dividual States mentioned.

Quarterly Industrial Review.

The accompanying table. prepared from reports made to The Tradesman. shows the new industries established in the thirteen Southern States during the third quarter of the present year.
 The total number of new industries is 1.316. as compared with q total of 1,122 for the third quarter of last year.
 The miscellaneous industries referred to in the table. 27s in number. consist of packing plants. laundries. paint fac tories. naval stores plants, medicine fac- tories, chemical works. cement works. rice and irrigation companies. soap fac- tories, construction companies, bottling works, heating companies, lime works, clothing factories, stone works, can fac- tories, mirror factories. harness facto- ries, roofing and cornice works, supply companies. etc.
 A study of the table shows that from the standpoint of number of plants pro- working plants, each of the thirteen States making a good showing, with North Carolina in the lead. Next in importance are the new mines and quar- ries opened during the quarter. Tn the textile line there arc shown ninety-nine new congresses and gins and thirty eight new cotton and woolen mills. indi- eating that there has been no loss of con- fidence in these great Southern staples. The establishment of fifty-two electric light and power plants during the quar- ter means large investment of money, as also does the activity shown by the organization of 100 natural gas and oil companies. The quarterly review Is a most gratifying showing for the recog- nixed industrial progress of the South.

dertaken the work of getting together
information concerning abandoned
and nom abandoned farms that are
for sale, cottages for rent, and other
information concerning Maine that
might be of interest to people coming
into the State for the summer, and
who might be made permanent guests
by the purchase of property, if such
information were presented to them

The idea strikes us as good one,

For State Roads.

1t is an encouraging sign that many
cities and towns of Maine are apply
ing for the stipend allowed by the
State for use in the improvement of
roads.
Although the amount-s200 - that
can be allowed any one town is small,
the movement means much more than
the amount involved would imply.
In the first place, each town making
application for State aid must agree
to raise at least double the amount to
be furnished by the State.
The movement, though now small,
means good roads in the future, for
once begun, it is not likely to stop, as
the advantages that will result from
even small efforts will be so apparent
that the policy is bound to be contin-
ued.
Up to date the following towns of
Hancock county have applied for aid
under the good roads improvement
law: Brooksville, Bluehill, Lamoine,
Ellsworth, Hancock and Trenton.
