RED River Waters.

Because Red River once emptied its
waters into the Mississippi there are
those who hold that it lie its natural out
let. On the morning of May 18th Capt.
e. T. King called onr attention to the
report of the stage of water in the riv-
ers Of that date. At Red River landing
the stage of the water was quoted as
being 35.4 feet, while at SimmspOrt, on
the Atchafalaya, only abont ten miles
below the former point, the figures were
SO. As the Atchafalaya heads in the
Red, only a few miles from the point
where the Red empties into the Missis-
sippi, and with the Atchafalaya nearly
81 feet lower than the Mississippi, it
will be apparent that the Atchafalaya
is offering a big inducement for not
only all the waters of the Red, but of
the Mississippi as well. Besides the in
ducement in fall. the waters of the Red
River find their way to the Gulf through
the Atchafalaya at an expenditure OF a
little over $50 miles travel. while the
Mississippi would have to carry them
more than twice that distance. With
these facts before us, it is easy to I'M
derstand the constant growing OF the
channel of the Atchafalaya.-The New

The influence and power of reliability
has been demonstrated by Japan. In
the ease of Admiral R%ojestvensky the
announcement from Toxic was that he
was a prisoner and wounded. Several
kilograms from st. Petersburg denied
this report and alleged that the admiral
had reached Vlaidvostok, but that he
was wounded. So great was the per-
sistence of Russia in this declaration
fact, bnt those who had confidence in
Toxic did not hesitate to believe the
report of the capture of Rojestvensky
as authentic. The moral from such
