RED RIVER BOUNDARY
CHANNEL OF THE STREAM HAS
CHANGED ITS COURSE.
And Added Practically One Hundred
Thousand Acres to Texas Side.
This Land Choctaw Council
Claims and Wants Resurvey.

Red river has cut on nearly 100, 900
acres OF land from the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations and passed II over
TO the Texas side, where 1t is occu.
pied by squatters who recognize no
constituted government and pay trlb-
ute to no tax gatherer, says the Choc.
taw Legislative council, which passed.
Just before It's recent adjournment, a
resolution appointing a commission to
ascertain and establish the correct
boundary line between Texas and In
dian Territory.
II transpires that the Red river.
which was designated originally as
the boundary line, has made startling
changes of course, owing to the fact
that II runs through a light, friable
soil for long stretches, and during
seasons Of heavy rain develops an ex.
tremely rapid. devouring current. At
places the present thread OF the cur
rent is miles from whero it ran when
the boundary line was established.
II Is said that the law provides that
the gradual changes in the bed OF a
river that Is designated as a boundary
shall be disregarded, the boundary
line following the center of the water
course as the course OF nature slow
ly modiiies it, and the lucky owner on
the side whence the water recedes ac.
quiring title by accretion" to the land
left dry On the other hand, however.
when the change of current is caused
by some tremendous cataclysm, as a
fleshet. volcanic eruption or similar
event, the law considers that the boun-
dary line has been wiped out. and
cOntemplates that the line may be es-
tablished by survey according to its
original trend regardless of the &C.
centricities of the water course.
The latter is what the nations rep
resentatives claim has occurred in the
case of Red river. The tremendous
freshets that have occurred along it's
course have altered its bed, throwing
large tracts TO the Texas side OF the
river. The present commission, II ap-
proved by the president will be auth
orized to resurvey the line according
to the ancient landmarks.

A NATIONS lNeRATlTuDE.

No thoughtful American can read
a dispatch printed in the daily papers
recently concerning the treat
ment OF the crew of the relief light
ship No So without blush Of
shame. Captain James Jorgenson,
his officers and crew were engaged
In the extremely dangerous service
OF keeping a light 10 warn ships OF
danger. On December II in a gale
their ship sank and they we're res
cued. the reports showing that they
did everything in their power to save
their vessel. Now comes a great
and proud nation and Announces
through the lighthouse board that
tho pay of these shipwrecked sailors
stopped the moment their ship vsnt
down. Not only ware the meu left
suddenly without a ship, but their
pay Is withheld on the technical
ground that they are no longer in the
service OF the government.
when Captain Jorgenson tried &c
tell his men OF the niggardly and un-
worthy attitude Of the Unitel states
toward them he completely broke
down" And no wonder. The cap-
tain, who had in storms and danger
perhaps in priyation and loneliness,
encouraged his crew by patriotic ap
peals and spirited references TO the
glory Of the service and the gratitude
of the nation for such self-sacriles
as theirs, felt ashamed to communi-
cate the order given him
An cTort was made to transfer
this crew to other service at oace
but the enlightened lighthouse boar1
refused to do this and said that the
shipwrecked men would have to
wait for vacancies. although as a con
cession to humanity the men thus
wrecked would be given preference
over other applicants At the same
session of the board 1t was recon-
mended that an appropriation OF
100000 be made for new light
ship. but there is no report that any
recommendation of aid for the aban-
doned crew was even discussed.
Probably the lighthouse board act
ed according to the strict rules Of
the department, but there is somt-
thing radically wrong with any sys-
tenn OF administration that will cling
to the ancient and unjust fiction that
tho men go down with their ship"
and that any survivors are no Ions
er in the service. In the light Of the
more liberal expenditures of our
government in the payment and
sumptuous entertainment of "canal
experts" who spent most of the past
year doing nothing, the abandonment
of these sailors who were wrecked in
the line of stern and hazardous duty
is little less than shameful. We rs

Too Much Medicine

The excessive and indlscriminate
use of medicines, in these days, can
not be too strongly condemned The
food you eat, il properly digested, Is
all the tonic you need.
The system is continually wronged
by over-eating and ovor-drinking, anu
the debilitated condition aggravated
by dosing with harsh, nauseous drugs
and medicines.
Only common sense is needed. The
food must bo digested and the bowels
must not be allowed to clog. Pre-
serve your health by preventing these
conditions.
Constipation surely leads to indiges-
ton, biliousness, etc, and these condi-
tions when neglected affect the condi-

when zinc ores can be treated for a
great deal less than it costs today. At
the same time the price of sDelter is
growing stronger all the time, and our
ores are, I'm consequence, worth more
money. Where we now realize little
