Too Great O Risk.

In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from an attack
of collie or cholera morbus, often
before medicine could be procured
or a physician summoned. A reli'
able remedy for these diseases
should be kept at hand. The risk ID
too great for anyone to take. Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar'
rhoea Remedy has undoubtedly
saved the lives of more people and
relieved more pain and suffering
than any other medicine in use. II

Under American ruls the planters took
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-06-28

expended all the money they could raise
and it was felt that their resources were
not equal to maintaining an efficient system
Of protection against overhows. Grad
ually this opinion has spread through all
three States, till now there is practical
unanimity in favor Of turn ing the levees
over to the Government.
It is belle we'd ,hat the levee proposition
will have, because Of the foods in Iowa
Missouri, Nebraska, Kans as and other
Western States, support in Congress which
It could not have commanded year ago.
In exactly what form the propositio n
will come to Congress 1t is impossib lie 10
say. 1t will be based On the national
character of the work. on the inability of
local authorities to build levees of the size
and strength required, Of the necessity
for doing the work uniformly and on somc
general plan inst cad Of spasmodically.
II will be pointed out. for inst ance, that
levees are only as strong as their weakest
part. Then, an entire district may 70
flooded because Of weakness in levee
which it cannot control: For instance, all
north Louisiana is in danger OF overflow
from a break in Arkansas, which it cannot
touch or even keep in order except by
special permit
interests and even the chances Of mob
violence. Thus, in the Bayou Boeuf district
only short time ago. the work of the
Ievee BOARD in the construction Of the
I.amourie dam was thrice blown up by mob
who thought the dam Injurious to them.
In no two districts are the levees of the
same height, size or general build. In
some Of them entirely different policies
are pursued in levee engineering and con-
struction.
II is, OF course impossible to say exactly
what will be the condition proposed to
Congress in the matter Of Federal control of
levees There are some who would like
the Federal Government to take charge
and shoulder the expense; but the prevailing
sentiment is that the alluvial lands can
and should bear a portion Of the expense
Of protection from overflow. The Federal
Government is now bearing about one
third Of the expense.
II some $4,000 200 or 81? 900 600 were
expended in Immediately raising and
STRENGTHENING the levees, the cost Of their
maintenance thereafter would probably
be less than the Federal Government is
now giving for this work. A great deal OF
money has been expended in levees along
the lower Mississippi. more than 500 600 600
in all, but much OF this has been wasted.
The price paid for levees has been too high
in MANY cases, and in the earlier days the
loveo boards had considerable difficulty
In raising the funds and had to pay an
enormous discount
In support OF the proposition that the
Government should control the levees it
is declared that the levee system OF the

and the work was Lot ont by contract.
II was the era Of solution. Ten times
as much wGs paid Tor the evecs as formerly
and when tho high water came they were
swept away. A, the end OF the recon-
struction period the levee system was prac-
tically completely gone and had 70 be re-

has been Of great value to the planters.
But it is recognized now that all these
systems lack the advantage of uniformity
by one authority instead OF their subdi-
vision among thirty or forty, As it is now,
the United States gives some money to the
levees, the States some, the railroads some
and The lcvee un.'ricts some. In the con-

CONGRESS TO BE ASKED TO TAKE
CHARGE or THE WORK.
Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi Agree
on tho PrOposItiOn-Reasons for Seek.
Ing Government Control OF the Lc>ee
Effect OF This Years Dad Floods.

New ORLEANS, June 27.-The alluvial
States of the lower Mssissippi-Louisiana
Arkansas and Mississippi-will ask Con-
cress at it's session this fall to take COM
plete charge Of their levee systems and
become responsible for the construction
and maintenance of all levees. This has
been agreed on as the result Of the ex-
perience Of the present high water.
The initial steps in the matter were taken
G. ST. Louis, at the meeting OF the Missis-
sippi River Commission, on June "a.
Levee and River Improvement Convention,
composed Of delegates from the lower
river cities, levee districts, and planters,
will meet either at Memphis or New Orleans
in October to consider the details Of the
plan This convention will appoint COM
mittee to lay the matter before Congress.
The campaign in favor Of Federal control
of levees has been going on for some years.
Previous to the creation of the Mississippi
River Commission, in 1879, the Federal
Government gave nothing to the con-
s,ruction of levees. When that body began
levee construction, which Capt. j. B. Eads
declared to be essential to the improvement
and deepening Of the channel, the appro-
,riation bill passed by Congress always
contained the proviso that money appro-
yriated for the Mississippi River shall not
be expended for levees for the purpose of
preventing overflow. but only when such
levees are necessary for the improvement
and deepening of the channel"
Under the restrictions Of this clause,
only a fraction Of the Mississippi River
appropriation went for levecs. In 1893
n C. Blanchard Of Louisiana became chair
man of the Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors and struck out the restrictive clause.
Since then there has been no limitation
for the expenditure of the appropriation
for levees, and each year larger share of
il has gone in this way.
There has always been a strong feeling
in favor OF local control Of the levees.
The high water Of 1897 caused utter discour-
asement, especially in Mississippi and
Arkansas, and started the movement for
Federal control. The levee district had
