MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Tried and Justified.

The Meridian Star Of Oct. makes
the following complimentary editorial
reference to Guifport as regards the
recent disastrous coast storm:
"The one gratifying incident that
shines out in relief against the dark
background Of loss and disaster from
the equinoctial storm that visited the
gulf coast lastweek is the test to which
Mississippis single deep seaport was
subjected and justified. The Star print
ed yesterday letter from Judge J. II.
Neville showing that Gulfport's har-
Dor works had suffered nothing from
the severest storm that had visited that
region for century past, and today
we print a comprehensive statement
from Mr. r. H. Henry, Jr., secretary
OF the local business league, covering
in detail every item If damage done by
the hurricane, that left the pier and
shipping harbor entirely unimpaired.
This was the first storm test TO
which these works have been subject
ed, and how they would resist the fury
OF the wind and wave was problemati-
cal. Many doubts were entertained
and freely expressed as to the perma-
nence Of the Improvements and their
ability to withstand the shock OF such
storms as sometimes visit the coast.
The experience Of last week has re-
moved all Of these, and demonstrated
that the port is secure not only against
visitations Of this character, but against
the fercest and most destructive equi-
noctial storms Of which the coast has
had any experience"

REV. SAM JONES DEAD
WAS ON HIS WAY HOME TO AT
TEND FAMILY REUNION.
End Came Very Quietly His Wife
and Two Daughters We're
With Him.

Little Rock, Ark.-Rev. Sam Jones
OF Gainesville, Ga, famous as an evan
gelist, died at o'clock this morning on
Rock Island train sixty miles west of
Little Rock. Heart disease caused his
death. The body was brought to Little
Rock at IL o'clock and prepared for
forwarding to Georgia. and at o'clock
this afternoon the body was sent to Car
tersville for interment.
With Mr.. Jones when he died were
Mrs. Jones, his wife; Mrs. Annie Pyron,
his daughter, and Miss Julia Jones, an
other daughter, and Rev Walt IIol-
comb, who has been with Mr. Jones for
the past five years.
The party left Oklahoma City last
night en- route for Gainesville, Ca, in
order that tomorrow, oct. 16, the fifty
ninth anniversary of his birth, might
be celebrated in his own home, sur
rounded by the members Of his family,
as has been the custom for years.
Left His Berth Early.
Mr. Jones was an early riser, and he
left his berth at o'clock this morning
He had been up an hour when he was
suddenly seized with pains in his abdo-
men. One Of his daughters, Mrs. Py-
ron, secured for him a cup Of hot
water, which he drank and then seemed
better. In few moments he was at
tackled anew and suffered considerably.
Nothing could be done to improve his
condition, and within three-quarters Of
an hour death ensued while his head
rested in Mr.. Holcomb's arms. Mr..
Jones had not been in ill health recent
ly, and his unexpected prostration and
death were a great shock.
mr' dolcomb's story.
Mr.. Holcomb said: "Mr. Jones and
I closed one of his most successful series
Of meetings at Oklahoma City last
night, and at once started for Carters-
vile, where he intended to meet all the
members Of his family, to celebrate his
ftty-ninth birthday. For years it has
been a hobby with Mr.. Jones to spend
oct, l6 at his home, surrounded by all
members Of his family. Last night he
learned that an i'll man occupied a seat
in a forward car He paid his Pullman
fare to Memphis and had a berth made
for him. He talked for some time, and
when he retired l had never seen the
evangelist in better spirits. He was like
a schoolboy on vacation, and talked at
length Of the happiness in store for him
at his own lireside.

NEW SCHEME IN FARMING.
In the same Field Big Crops of Corn
and Pofatoes Raised.

Last spring Mr.. Weddle planted
field of corn on the Fred Browning
farm just east of town but the stand
was so poor that he afterwards plant
ed the same field to potatoes, thinking
the corn would not amount to much
But about the time the potatoes
sprcuted and commenced to grow, the
corn got ashamed of itself and It too
began shooting through the ground
ana took on a good healthy appear
ance.
For the next few weeks the two
crops lived together in perfect har-
mony,- neither one doing anything to
injure the other and when the corn
was picked a short time ago it was
found to average so bushels per acre.
The potatoes were dug this week and
they made so bushels per acre also
Both crops We're of good quality, the
potatoes being the best we have seen
on the home market this season.
Another singular feature connected
with the growing of these crops was
the manner in which the corn roots
grew through many of the potatoes:
Now and the ma large potato would
be found with corn roots entering at
one side, extending entirely through
the center and protruding several
inches on the opposite side.-Solomon

sTEINBERG HOLDS THE FORT
Claims That He Is Ready to Pay Rent
to ATasons.

The Masonic order has commenced a
suit IN the city court to Gust Harry
Steinberg from their building, alleging
that he is behind with his rent and
refuses to settle. Steinberg who has
dancing academy in a hall in the Ma
sonic building has an explanation en-
tifely different. He says that he has
always paid his rent when due and
that he is now and has been at all
times ready to liquidate in fun and that
the treasurer Of the lodge has refused
to accept his tender of rent though ne
has made it in glittering gold.
While the hall was not in use during
the summer months a sewer and a wa
ter pipe went on~a rampage and flood
ed the room occupied as a dancing hall
and Steinberg maintains that he was
damaged to the extent Of $40 and that
the lodge as landlord is responsible for
the damages done. He wants them to
pay him so ne can pay them and tbs
case will come up for trial next week.

is indubitable evidence that the Ar
kansas river is the source of one of
its own tributaries. paradoxical as it
may seem. The Arkansas flows upon
q hcgback of sand In the ages which
it has carried the waters of mountain
and plain to the sea, it has borne upon
its floods vast quantities of sand,
which, deposited by its own gravity,
has formed a new bed for the channel,
raising it above the adjacent country.
So it has come that the parent stream
has been raised above the Minnesota,
one Of its own afI1uents. The waters
of the Arkansas flow in the sand be-
meath the surface, filteIing far and wide
to the limits of the valley. The Min
nescah rises and flows within the val
ley, and. although it has other sources,
its main supply comes from the Ar
kansas. For whenever the Arkansas
carries a freshet. the Minnesota, 30
miles south, rises few hours later,
the water coming up from the depths
pure and clear as a flow from springs.
The influence of these freshets is felt
even to the source Of the. smaller
stream in Pratt county. whence it flows
through k1ngnan, SedgWlck and sum
ner, disgorging near oxford into the
parent stream. Scientific men often
doubt this story, bat Investigation i'm
svariably proves 1t to be true Another
evidence IS the even flow of the small
er stream. In its course. .it receives
only local affiuents. none of them per-
ennial, but the year round it IS full
OF water, ana. except sWQen aHecteO
by local storms, always clear and
pure.
So by its continued explorations Of
the valley OF this strange and mys-
FERROUS stream in its long course from
the Rocky mountoins. the Santa Fe
only adds to the proof that the Ar
kansas river. although its waters are
visible on top only during freshets,
flows steadily through its sands below
far beyond the confines Of its narrow
channel. even to the limestone ''di-
vides" which bound the valley north
and south. IN the lower country south
of the Kansas line its waters come to
the surface again, but in its upper
valley the flow is in the soil, which it
nouFishes and makes one of the great
garden spots of the world.
There no doubt are other, although
smaller streams of like character in
the west and southwest. but until some
great corporation, as the AtchisOn, To-
peka & Santa F'e. or other form of
organized capital takes hold and en-
ploys men and money to find out. their
possibilities of agriculture will not be
known. For there is no excellence
without great labor and a little money
thrown II.

Officials of the Atchison. Topeka &

~ displeased over a recent action of
the city council of Ration. New Mexico
The mayor and City council set apart
q district consisting of the block op-
posite the Santa Fe passenger station
in that town as the saloon district OF
the city.
The santa Fe railway is radically
opposed to this move and proposes to
have it changed. James Kurn, division
superintendent in charge OF that sec
ton. said to be acting upon the au-
thority of James E. Hurley, general
manager of the company, has issued
the following ultimatum TO the city
officials:
''Raton is one of the leading cities
Of New Mexico and is growing rapidly.

largely to its growth and is at present
spending an immense amount Of
money in wages, shop Improvements

What the company objects to is the
fact that the city council nave by
ordinance recently passed, said that If
. man engages in the saloon business
he must open II on the street adjoining
the Santa FEES property and that
means that our beautiful park will be
a. resort for buns and viii be a knock

that the city needs the revenue col
lected from these saloons, and as long
as they are kept within the limits Of
the law as laid down By the territorial
statutes, in connection with their con-
tlguity to churches and the Ike. I see
no reason why they should not be al
lowed.
Another thing. The Santa Fe has
the welfare of its patrons at heart and
If a lady comes to the Santa F7e depot
to take passage to another town, or to
transact business, the company does
not propose that she must come by all
the saloons in the community to do it.
That is my position and is all that I
