Thompson Writes President.

Colonel N. F. Thompson of the Shef- field concern which recently had a bill passed in Congress allowing the use of water power by dams the Tennessee river in the vicinity of Mussel Shoals, which bill was vetoed by President Roose- welt. sent a telegram the other day ask ing him to give the company an oppor- tunity to present their side of the ques- ton. Today Colonel Thompson received the following letter:
 White House, March 4. 1903. My Dear Sir-ReferriDg to your tele- gram of this date. l beg to say that 1t was not received until after the adjournment of Congress. Regretung that 1t is there fore impossible to meet your wishess am. Very truly your,
 William Loeb, IT,,
 Secretary to the President" The following letter was sent by Colo nel Thompson to President Roosevelt the day before the telegram was forwarded: ITO His Excelency, Theodore Roosevelt,
 President of the United States. Wash
 jngton. D. C..
 Your Excellency-I am advised of your veto of Senate bill No. 5543. which grants to myself and associates the use of the water on Mussel Shoals, in the Tennes see river. above Sheffield. Ala.. for power purposes.I am also advised that you signed House bill No. 16.602, which grants to others the same privileges that l asked for on the same stream, but at different location and not conflicting herewith, passed at this same session of Congress. and shortly before the passage of mine To all intents and purposes both bills are the same. It seems, therefore, that you | have been inadvertently led into favorite- ism or inconsistency which you will be | pleased to rectify when this bill comes before you again.
 My bill did not contemplate. but in specific terms provided against any pos sible interference with the government canal on the opposite side of the river. or With navigation of this stream. These points were reported on favorably by the engineers of the War Department before the bill was put on passage. 1 am con | strained to the belief that this covers all | the grounds of control which the general | government has ever exercised over the l streams of the country. or that it car rightfully claim. This protects interstate commerce. All other use of the waters oi our rivers belong of inherent right b the citizens of the States through which they run.
 ''The government would retard private enterprise and local development by at | tempting 10 place competitive D1ddlng ol water powers even if it had the right t do so, since this would exclude individ , uals of moderate means from the use O those streams which by virtue of all GUS tom and usage belongs to them.
 "Regretting that no opportunity is af forded me now to place this matter be fore you as the interests involved in 1 demand at my hands. but hoping to hay this privilege later on, and with great re spect, l am Yours truly,

A volume of water 80 feet wide and six feet deep, moving four miles an hour, has been taken from the Colorado river and turned on the desert of southern Cal ifornia. With the water have come a railway and municipal and urban devel- opments-banks. stores. churches schools groves, orchards. homes. Nearly a mil lion acres of land will be as completely changed as when chaos was converted into the Garden of Eden. Given as there, abundant and unfailing water, a tropical heat a waterless season and per ernial sunshine what may not be done ? In no other thing is the genius and enter prise of America to be more manifest than in this seizing and imprisoning the va grant flood waters of the mountains and loosing them on the desert. when wealth follows in the wake of the water.

Dame Rumor Is Just now busy with

fashionable set whose engagement,
while denied by them, is confidently
expected to be announced within a
very short time. Miss Elizabeth Rob-
ertson, of Mexico, Mo-, is the young
lady concerned, and Mr.. Oliver Gar
rison the lucky man. Miss Robertson
has been spending the winter in st.
Louis studying music, and her talent
has been spoken Of as unusual. She
is a sister Of Mrs. Fred Bronaugh,
who, as Miss Sue NJ. Robertson, was
such a belle in st. Louis society, and
spent a great deal Of time here with
Mrs. Paul Brown. Miss Robertson
has gone out a great deal, and her
most devoted cavalier has ever been
Garrison, a fact which has given
much food for speculation. Although
the young lady denies the soft i'm
parchment, those In close touch with
her affairs whisper rumors OF a late
winter wedding.
