Red River Waters.

Because Red river once emptied
its waters into.the Missippi there
are those who hold that that is its
natural outlet. On Wednesday
morning Capt. Il. Il. King called
our attention to the report of the
stage of water in the rivers of
that date. At Red river landing
the stage Of the water was quoted
us being 81 1 feet, while at Sims
port ton the Atchafalaya,) only
about ten miles below the former
point, the figures were 80
AS tho Atchafalaya heads in
the Red, only a few miles from yhe
point where the Red emptles INTO
the Mississippi, and witho the At
cllafalaya nearly 3 feet lower
than the Mississippi, it will be APP
parent that the Atchafalaya IS
offering a big inducement for not
only all the waters Of the Red but
of the Mississippi us well. BE
sides the inducement in fall the
waters of Red river find their way
to the Gulf through the Atchafa
laya at an expenditure Of "a little
over $50 miles travel, while the
Mississippi would have to carry
them more than twice that dis.
lance. With these facts before
us it is easy to understand the
constant growing of the $channel

Well hardly that. We have

that their Voice should be heard

Our esteemed contemporary, the

Our cOnfrere seems to have
completely set aside-at least for
the time being his well establish

The balance Of the GOlumn-art

to bellttle the editor Of the Iberl-

prodigal waste of effort.
The few who know +. 4. Mil
lard, the present editor Of the
Weekly Ibrrian, intimately, at
once recognized the bad guessing
of our COnfrere on several points;
but those who have not this init

feel it a duty to say a word abOnt
these charges; and from our state

gather a little information, so long

take them in their serial order.

The investigation Of the Equitable
Insurance Company has created a
great apprehension in other circles,
but the public should not lull itself
into false security by believing that
new or old companies will now con
duct their affairs IN a lawful way for
fear Of an investigation that might
strike them. The public should de-
mand that every corporation or pri-
yate institution doing business with
the public-insurance companies,
banks, trust companies, building loan
associations and such like-shall be
subject to investigation by Ohicial eX-
pertS with a very short tenure of Office

Judge Diehl, Of Salt Lake, sentenc-
ed Joseph Warren TO a 800 fine or
100 days on the rockpile for taking a
little girl into saloon and giving her
liqour. That judge deserves a medal,
but he should have said $500 or 800
days. If penalty is TO have its
effect on other than the criminal 1t
must be severe to the limit. Fear Of
the law is responsible for more good
ness among certain classes than aught
else, and this reformation Of the in
dividual criminal is to be considered
far less than the benefCient effect Of
penalty sufficient TO prove an
everlasting warning to those whose
minds have tendency toward Grim
inalty.
