MEASURE AIMS TO

Congressman Bede Introduces a
Resolution Of Special Interest

~ w. w. Jermane.5

Washington, April 27.-Congressman
Bede today introduced resolution
giving the secretary of war certain di-
rectlons about the operation of dams
at headwaters of the Mississippi, which
he believes will have the effect of par
TALLY preventing floods in the river be-
low the dams. The resolution is given
in full, as the preamble recites certain
alleged facts which are Of special inter

Whereas, The government of the
United States has established sys-

sippi as an aid to steamboat naviga-
ton on said river, and,
Whereas, Said navigation does not
now require such aid, and,

One of the things which impressed

their hotel, tried to get out Of the city
on the south, but finding that impos-
sible, returned to Golden Gate park and
made themselves as comfortable there
as possible. There were no signs Of
serious suffering there, SO far as he OBJ
served. ~
Prices Not Exorbitant.
Speaking Of the charges for service
and prices Of food in San Francisco,
Mr.. Wells says he had no fault to find.
Liverymen, he thought, were entitled
to extra charges. Their property had
been destroyed and their business
ruined, and what money they could pick
up from tourists he thought they were
entitled to. So also with the keepers
Of grocery stores and drug stores. He

Oakland Praised.
But in Oakland, where the earth
quake did considerable damage but
where no fire broke out, the people
We'd with each other in generosity to
the sufferers by the San francisco ca
lamity. 1t was impossible to pay any
thing for carriage service or for food
or for lodging. No money would be
accepted for any Of these things and
the example Of sympathy and brotherly
kindness was beautiful. Quarters for
the homeless were provided where the
good women Of Oakland cared for
children and babies and their ex-
| hausted mothers, and temporary hospi-
| tails were arranged in churches and
public buildings for the sick, food was
furnished free and private houses all
over the city were thrown open without
charge For accommodations.
Under the show Of courage and con-
| fdence in a new and better San Fran
cisco, Mr.. Wells says, he thought he
). could discover in the talk Of the peo-
pie Of that city, a latent fear that per
haps after all it might not be the best
thing to put the new city on the site
Of the old, on that narrow peninsula
cracked and shattered by the earth
quake and exposed to the possible dan
gers of a tidal wave. Such disturb
ance Of nature was feared for some
time after the earthquake, and the ex-
posed nature Of the site Of San Francis
co was forced into the thoughts of
many. A great tidal wave would prob
ably have swept clear over the PENN
sula. Whether capital will accept the
or whether it will prefer some place on
the main land side Of the bay remains,
in Mr.. Wells opinion, to be determined
| by the careful consideration Of all the
facts.

of applicants for license to practice
about the middle of October.
Secretary J. P. Hunter is expecting

at the spring examinations, and the
class at that time was the largest
that has ever appeared before the

of would-be doctors have been "cram-

Farmers More Prosperous.

The Silver Greek Star sees a bright
future for the farmers of that section

is no denying the fact that farmers of
South Mississippi are more prosperous
than ever before. In the first place,
their lands have greatly increased in
value and where land twenty years
ago could not be sold for $3.50 per
acre there is a ready market for it
now at from $40 to $40 per acre. These
lands values alone have added greatly
to the wealth of our farmers. Added
to the increase in land values is the in
crease and quality of the live stock.
Twenty years ago this country was fill
ed up with scrub stock, today every
farmer has his farm stocked with one

other good breeds of cattle, berkshire
pigs have taken the place of razor
backs, plymout rocks and leghorns
have taken the place of the old blue

has been supplanted with riding
