REVERSING THE FLOW OF THE
Lakes

The public is familiar with propn-
ecies that Chicago Is to be swamped
by the waters of Lake Michigan
There have been recent predictions OF
the sort and theories on which they
might be based are by no means new
Warren Upham, writer OF an article

Niagara Falls" refers % the fitting
of the lake region TO the soutn and
southwest and to computation OF the
time 1t would take to reverse the wa
ter now. Spencer. he says. in hgur-
ing on the diversion from the Niagara
to the Des PLANES. Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers. calculated that 1t
would occur In 5000 or 5000 years
Another prediction by Gilbert short
ems the period to something less than
900 years. Gilbert would have Mia.
CARA disappear entirely in $500
years.
Mr.. Upham himself is not inclined
to be an alarmist. He says:
IF all these changes should take
place there can be no doubt that the
harbors and water ways. including
canals, which now receive the vast
and growing commerce of Buffalo.
Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit. Chicago,
Milwaukee, Duluth and Superior, and
the many other cities on these lakes,
will still be maintained in full utility.
We may feel confident that the larg-
est city Of this area. Chicago. al
though 1t is mainly built on land only
a little above the level Of Lake Mich
igan. will not be inundated. A drain
age canal leading to the Des PLANES
river has been cut down below the
lake level. and 1t needs only to be
enlarged in order to carry the whole
overflow OF these lakes and to pre-
serve the water level at Chicago.
Here is suggestion for the can
| didates for the canal board and for
The platform makers. They may beat
nature II they will. and, according to
Mr. Upham. the dangers to Niagara

| while those from nature are purely
| speculative and very remote. AL
ready, he says. commercial greed has
appropriated about quarter part OF
the water formerly flowing over the
falls, and he asks. VIII 1t not be in
comparably better and nObler That. in
stead of this mercantile and sordit
Derversion Of Niagara we should pre-
serve It's majestic rapids and catar
act?' The public's answer to THU
question was pressed upon the New
York state government to good effect
and 1t is certain that proposals fol
encroaching on the falls In the III
lure will be strenuously resisted"

THE COTTON
SITUATION

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-In their
weekly cotton review Miller & Co.
say: A calculation based on the
actual decrease in the cotton acreage
of 149 per cent on August 3, 1904,
and 74.9 per cent on August 3. 1905,
would point to a crop of 100000
bales, while even per cent added
for exaggeration would indicate a
possible yield of 100000 bales.
On the other hand the favorable
weather now prevailing throughout
the cotton belt has increased the feel
ing that the situation is better than
estimated and the arrival of new
bales at number of points through
out the belt is a reminder that the
new season is upon us and, as usual.
has increased the desire to get rid of
the old crop before the new one comes
on the stage. Thus the various in
fluences are neutraliZing each other
to a great extent.

Two Brave Men.

Just when cartoonists joyfuy picturng Japan in

humanity is carelessy hoping that the indemnity demand
ed from the defeated will be so tremendous to
humble the pride of Russia for century there
thought for two brave men-Witte and Rosen-braver,
perhaps, than you know.
Remember they love their country and its ruler BETTER
perhaps than you love your flag The racial instinct is
stronger in the Sav than in the American, for in
archy the government means everything.
And it is for these two to indure extreme humiia-
ton for their country's sake.
Don't you suppose that their hearts bleed when they
face to face with the proposition of submission? Of
there is courtesy and polished words and ceremony at the
meetings of the peace commission.
But wash away the paint of precedent, rip off the mask
of diplomacy and you will have left two in the hands
of relentless enemy enduring what to them must seem
the of disgrace These ENJOYS of the may smile
and look the part of vctos they may pretend and bow
and pose but
Down in their hearts they know that great nation has
been disgracefuly defeated by smaller one; that
of white skin have been and crushed and conered
by yellow
Does it hurt?
Could you look in the breasts of these Russians you
would picture to to tears. They brave
men. AS brave many who have died the field Of

OSTEOpATH
CONVENTION

DENVER, Col, Aug. 14.-The an
nual meeting of the American OSteo-
pathic association opens here today
for five days session. Last year.
when the convention was held in st.
Louis, there were about 1000 MEM
bers of the osteopathic school of doc
tors in attendance. The attendance
at the convention which begins today
promises to exceed that of last year
considerably. Nearly every state in
the Union is represented and there
are also some from Canada and one
or two from Mexico.
There are at the present time nine
osteopathic colleges in the United
States, with 1856 teachers and an at
tendance of 1900 to 1900. over 1000
practitioners have graduated from
these colleges so far.

return to the inn we learned that
the stranger who had so excited our
admiration was the Princess V, a
Russian. who lived with her parents
