It is a truism that anything pur-
chasable can be bought in London.
The shop window of Plecadilly con-
fectioner exemplifies this fact. His
trade in Chinese edible birds nests
has lately developed to such an ex-
tent as to warrant the inclusion of
that somewhat rare delicacy among the
more commonplace goods displayed IN
his window
The nests are used in making soup
which was until recently consumed only

OBITUARY.
james A. Montgomery, Douglas.

Douglas, Ca, Oct. 2s.-Dr. James
A. Montgomery. who was romantically
married to Miss Ethel Frink, at his
sick bedside in this city four weeks
ago, died yesterday, surrounded by his
devoted and heart-broken young wife
and numerous friends. The promi-
nence of the parties, coupled with their
romantic marriage and devotion of the
young bride. made this a very sad
death. The knights of Pythias, OF
which order the deceased was a prom
inent member. took charge Of his re-
mains, which were laid to rest to-day
in Lott Cemetery after the arrival of
his mother from Augusta.

the Manufacturers Record, followed
Mr.. Fairchild. He said, in part:
Proper leveeing of the Mississippi
river will bring into cultivable condi-
ton 10000 square miles of alluvial soil
upon which, with the prevailing meth
DDS, may be raised double the present
cotton crop of the whole country. The
world is crying for more cotton. Eng
land and the continent are seeking to
develop its cultivation in the heart of
Africa. Even the president of the
New England Cotton Manufacturers
Association, at it's annual meeting a
few weeks ago, expressed the hope
that cotton production might be in
creased by other countries in order TO
increase the worlds supply. But here
is a region which may be reclaimed by
national work. large enough to pro-
duce twice as much cotton as the
whole South now grows-a region
which could add $1,000, 900 a year to
the agricultural output of the country.
That, however, is but a part of the
value of this work. Proper leveeing
would not simply mean the adding of
10000, 900 acres or more of the most fer
tile soil in the world to our national
domain. it would mean untold wealth
added to the region drained by the
Mississippi and its tributaries. and
thus to the whole country. Can any
man imagine that country in Eu-
rope with such an opportunity before
it would hesitate for one moment in
embarking upon a plan comprehensive
enough to measure up to such un-
bounded possibilities
Congressman John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi was introduced and
strongly defended the constitutionality
of government aid.
Judge George II. Maxwell of the
National Irrigation Association spoke
next.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Maxwelrs
address, letters and kilograms were
read from governors, senators, con-
gressmen, railroad presidents and
others expressing sympathy with the
movement, and the convention finally
adjourned.

Street sweepings, the reports says,

The report of the Committee on Eli

by DIR. John w. Ross, United States

Washington. Oct. 2S.-Advices re-

unofficial sources regarding the situa-

again been a change in the sentiment

The agents of the State Department
have found it difficult to make plain the
fact, even to the Colombians, that the
Hay-Herran canal treaty is absolutely
and finally dead and that no act oil
the Colombian Senate can resurrect
it. If there is to be anything done
in the direction of Panama canal
