further information for use in forming recommendations.
 From talks with the members it was learned that some of them were much impressed by the absence of shipping on the Mississippi river. They noted the in frequency with which they met other craft also the fact that many river towns have almost no dock facilities, and that these towns have given up to railroad use the ground which probably would he used for river shipping purposes. MT Burton gave cut the following statement:
 This commission was created not mere- ly to study the subject of navigation, but also to report upon the waters of the coun- try as related to national development and the conservation of natural resources The subjects to be considered include wa ter supply, elarification of streams, water power, and all the varied uses of waters in connection with irrigation, power reclamation, flood prevention, forests and the public lands.
 Tt Is not the intention of the commis- sion to report upon any specific improve ment in the rivers of the country, but only upon questions of general policy
 "The members of the commission have h-ld meetings daily while on board the boat A considerable range of topics has been considered, but the members do not feel ready to announce any conclusions. Indeed, it is desired that all subjects be very maturely considered before any re- port is made.
 Tt has been suggested that a conyen- ton be called to be held at Washington next January, at which shall be consid- cred the conservation and utilization of waters and other natural resources, with view to obtaining information to aid the members of the commission in mak- ing recommendations"
 MT. Burton would not make state ment about the scarcity of river traffic, but said that the increase or decrease of traffic and the condition of navigation and levees were among the subjects in- vestigated. The commission performed q large amount of work, its sessions oc- cured twice daily and much information was obtained from engineers and experi- enced river men who went aboard the boat at various points and rode with the commission for few hours.
 Chairman Burton and Herbert Knox Smith, chief of the bureau of corporations, were the only members of the commission to come ashore at New Orleans.
 They took trains for the north tonight, while the other members transferred from the steamer Mississippi to the Magnolia and departed on two days trip to the mouth of the Mississippi river.
 There they will inspect the jettes and new southwest pass now nearing compile ton.

This is very fine trade, as the com panies maintain them in every way, tho state having charge of the work but the lesseeS paying all the charges. This is a large increase over all other contracts. Some days ago d contract was made with the Henderson Boyd people for $45.5O. the state to maintain, but this was rescinded and the new one signed.
 The secretary of state has been notified that the headquarters of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company are in room S25 First National building, Bir- mingham, and that Guy R. Johnson is the Alabama agent.

 The state tax commissioner president, Judge Mitchell, met with the Montgomery county board of revenue this week and notified them that the rate of taxation In the county must be raised from 42 to 43 per cent to the general average desired for the whole state, 60 per cent. This mat ter will be taken up at once, with a view of meeting the demands of the state.
 Judge A. D. Sayre in the city court in equity has overruled the motion of the city to dissolve the injunction secured by the Traction company against the oper- ation of the ordinance which requires sep- arate cars for the races, and has over ruled the molon or the clty to ulSinlss the bill for want of eqnity. This means that there will be no change in the pres ent way of separating the races on the street cars, the saS1 cars being used for both races.
 Of particular interest last evening in the council session was the reception of communication from Mayor Teague to the effect that all saloons within the city be charged a license of nor less than Sl5JJ nor more than 5000.

to be, are not without their uses. They have made or marred kingdoms in a day, and in the dawn of the world were factors in land building. In their attention to big jobs they have not neglected little ones. A well In San Francisco is proof of this. In the rear of the United States mint in that city was well, simple, ordinary we'll, operated by a pump. After the ,quake, when things began to readjust themselves, 1t was found that no pump would be needed at this particular well. The water was flowing out in steady stream in true artesian style-natures small compensation for the great havoc she had wrought.
 If you ever have the good fortune 10 go driving with some citizen of Homo lulu, through the fair valleys near his beautiful city, you will find that he in- varlably casts his weather eye toward a particular valley and more than likely will postpone drive that would take him in that direction in the late afternoon. He will tell you that it rains there every day at almost the same hour, that peculiar atmospheric conditions bring this about, and that 1t is known to all as the wal ley of Rain.' The fact seems plausible and prosaic enough, but ask the flower decked natives of the valley and they will tell you another tale, one that has no dealing with the weather charts, currents of air and cumulus clouds.
 They will tell you of a rarely beautiful maiden who was murdered there long ages ago by an enraged lover because he thought she shad betrayed him to a god The maiden, innocent of the charge, was a great favorite with the gods, and in memory of her goodness they decreed that gentle rain should fall each day and so keep the valley forever green in remem- 1..-ow, xaI | .f Cell | as tears from the gods, and the crystal beauty of the sparkling drops represents her many graces and virtues.
 Reelfoot lake, in western Tennessee, is one of the favorite shooting and fishing re- sorts of the southwest, and besides offer ing fine sport Reelfoot is in many re- spects one of the most interesting spots in America Prior to 1911 there was no lake there, only little river. Then the great series of earthquakes came, lasting from April to September of 1911, and the forest land sank, the river filled in the basin, and Reelfoot lake was born. It Is over thirty miles long and at places is eight or ten miles wide. The forests are still standing under water on the bottom of the lake, and one may row about over the tops of giant trees many feet below. There has been soma talk of draining the lake, but the opposition from the sports men was so strong that the scheme has been practically abandoned
 Minnesota Is the northermost state in the union, one little portion of 1t ex- tending further into Canada than does the state of Maine. This northern bit of state cannot be reached by land from the southern part of the state unless one goes through the territory of the Dominion of Canada, as 1t is connected with Minneso- ta through the Lake of the Woods, a body of water of which Minnesota owns the middle, and the northern and south ern ends, while Canada owns both it's eastern and western shores.

Thomasville, Ga. May 21.--R. H. Milan, a white farmer living near Moultrie, Ga., came to Thomasville late last night to have his wounds dressed, which he as serts were inflicted on him by a band of white caps. He tells narrowing story of being given 100 lashes. He alleges that two men, one claiming to be a deputy sheriff, came to his home and told him he was under arrest and carried him to the rest of the party. He was informed that the whipping was because you won't work"

When Washington, D. C., was village struggling in the mud for an existence, and before map makers recognized Chi cago, Sitka was a thriving city under Russian dominion. Its quaint old church and moss covered stores tell their own story of an honorable and ancient past. Sitlxa is 12O0 miles from the state of Washington and occupies a longitude about TOO miles west of San Francisco. seat of region that extends far into the strange and silent north. On the shortest day of the year the sun Is only visible about twenty minutes, while dur Ing the summer months it Is so he that one can see to read a newspaper or take a photograph at midnight. The posters announcing baseball at 10 p. m convince the traveller that he Is really in tho land of the midnight sun.
 Sand has played an important part in the geological makeup of our country. not so much in the structural work as in the peculiar conditions it creates. In the desert lands of the west much to the distress of superstitious Indians, there are mountains of sand that move certain dis tances with the shifting of the wind. The blowing of the wind changes the shape of the mounds and gradually moves them onward across the plains. Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Is built almost en- tirelyf on great sand dunes, reclaimed from the vagabond existence they had led at the will of wind and wave. They were planted In coarse grass and flowers and converted into garden spot In Louis iana the famous trembling prairies are dangerous quicksands covered with a tangle of grasses and flowers, a treacher- ous lure to unwary cattle and sometimes to people.

 Expert statisticians in the employ of the government have recently established the exact center of the population of the United States. Including the insular pos sessions and Alaska, and taking into con sideration the rotundity of the earth, the center is 600 miles In the interior of the earth directly under the city of Nash ville, Tenn This is beneath the point where the thirty-sixth parallel and eighty seventh meridian intersect Leaving out the insular possessions and Alaska, the center of population Is six miles southeast of Columbus In Bartholomew county, 1n- diana. The exact geographical center, exclusive of Alaska, is said to be Cora township Smith county, Kansas. 1nclud- ing Alaska the center of area is at Slave Butte South Dakota, twenty-five miles east of the boundary between Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.
 Statistics in regard to the size of the United States invariably have the clause including Alaska or with the excep- tion of Alaska" until curiosity makes us wonder what difference Alaska would really make one way or another. This famous territory is larger than most peo- pie imagine. It has a coast line greater than the combined lengths of the At lantic and Pacific seaboards of the United States The governor in his office at Sitka Is farther from the western limits of his territory than he is from East port, Maine. Alaska has an area of 600,000 square miles, an expanse of land greater than all that part of the United States that lies east of the Mississippi and north of the Carolina. It is twice as large as what was once known as the oregon country a tract now embracing Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Mon tana and Wyoming. The httle island of Attn is so far west that 1t is east.
