SNAKE STORY

With the thawing of the hills comes
the usual grist of snake stories. This
is one of the first, from Port Jervis,
N. Y:
cit cost Hank Smith $3.50 to de
stroy twenty snakes, an average of
$l2 30 a snake. Smith, who is a farm
er near Acedelia, Sullivan county,
hates snakes and kills one whenever
he gets a chance, but always with the
expenditure of a little muscle only.
He calculates the cost of his snake
holocaust thus: To maple syrup, so.
sap house and contents, 5000.
"Before winter took a fresh hold,
Smith had killed, with a club, several
rattlesnakes and blacksnakes near his
sap house. But he had not seen a
snake recently and concluded that
with all the %serpent's cunning they
we're alternating again. He started a
roaring fire in his sap house to boi'
down many gallons of sap to maple
syrup.
AS the atmosphere grew warm two
rattlesnakes though winter had quit

MAKING COLLECTION OF The SONGS
OF THE WEST

the vast region west of the Mississippi
river.
Such early pioneer ballads do exist.
Already l have collected nearly a
hundred from one state-Texas. /
wish to solicit your aid in preserving
from extinction this expression of
American literature. Eventually it
is expected that the ballads will be
published in book form. An editorial
request from you to your readers for
copies of frontier songs will doubtless
result in valuable material. | shall
greatly appreciate your help to this
extent, and your further favor in for
warding to me whatever material may
come into your hands.
Nav / add that ballads, and the
like, which because of crudity, incom-
~pleteness, coarseness, or for any other
reason are unavailable for publication,
will be as interesting and as useful
for my purposes as others of more
merit. 1t is my desire to collect the
songs and ballads now or lately in
actual existence and in the precise
form which they have popularity as
sumed.
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN A. LOMAX.

John A. Lomax at Harvard univeTs-

plained in the Letter that are native

The problem before the engineers OF
the government in handling the over
flow of the Colorado River into the
Salton Sink and the havoc 1t Is caus-
ing. is admirably set forth in the May
issue of the Technical World Maya
zine, Both text and pictures of the To-
caljties with which it is accompanied
give vivid idea of what the men
have to face who are sent out to save
the fertile valleys which the flood has
threatened so seriously.
II is a tale which gives wonderful
conception of the power OF water I'M
controlled and the writer, Wilbur Bas'
sett, has handled it very well indeed
His description of the present state
az things in the valleys which extend
back for miles from the river BANKS
and his tale of the rivers terrible
destruction of every barrier which
has been set before ii is very re-
markable How the water has cut It's
way down through the soft, yielding
silt of which the surface soil is com
posed and what it will do If 1t is
allowed to go on unchecked-or II the
engineers fail in their efforts to chuck

IN PAST YEAR
ALLEGED GROUND FOR The DIS
SOLUTION or THE FIRM or C.
c. GATES & co.

LOUISVILLE, XIV May 1.-The
Courier-Journal has this from New
York: Following the announcement
today by Charles G. Gates that the
firm would go out Of business on June
/. IT became known that the losses
sustained by the Gates in the stock
market within the past year aggre-
gate about sac, 100000.
1t was also said that had the firm
wound up its affairs when it was first
rumored It would do so. it would have
precipitated a panic that would have
ruined John W. Gates, his son and
many OF their associates.
Grave Gissensions had broken out
among the twelve partners. Several
of the latter objected, not only to the
enormous obligations the firm had in
Cured, but to the manner in which
the debt had been piled up II was
charged that John w. Gates was re-
sponsible for two-thirds OF these liza
bilities, and it was insisted that this
be reduced. if not liquida led, at once.
The determination of three of the
general partners to have this settle
ment made was the beginning of the
end. The New York banks scented
trouble and demanded that the firm
take up its loans. The larger part OF
these obligations consisted Of Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Company shares,
stocks OF the United States Realty
Company and huge block OF the
shares of the Republic Iron & Steel
Company-corporat which John
w. Gates controlled or in which ne
had a large interest.
All this was the elimination OF the
many extensive deals in which the
elder Gates was the leading promoter.
II has been his idea to form steel
and iron combine in opposition to the
United States Steel Corporation, ana
10 this end he had secured the Ten
aessee Coal & Iron Company, the Re
public Steel Company, and had been
given an option on several other or
CARNATIONS. including the Sloss-Shef-
field concern. His plan was checked
by the sudden stringency in the money
market, which had made 1t Impossible
to raise the necessary capital
