Mississippi Changing Channel.


NEW ORLEANS, Feb. "a phe-
nomenal rise has occurred in the
Mississippi river seventy-fve miles
below here, where for three days
the levees have been breaking. The
river stands within one-tenth of a
foot of the highest rise On record
in that district.
Notwithstanding this unusual
stage near its mouth. the river at
New ORLEANS ard for hundreds of
miles northwaTd is three feet and
more under previous high records.
1t is thought that changes in the
bed of the stream may account for
the estuary.

MITCHELL WRITES OF
WENATCHEE VALLEY
Continued from Page ID

No more highly developed COM
munities can be found in the world
than the irrigated fruit communities
Of this country. Social conditions
reach higher plane than in any
other class of settlement. The owner
of five or ten acres of orchard enjoys
practically all the advantages and
improvements of the larger centers,
coupled with a breathing and grow
ing space for the family, and an oc-
cupation such as was intended that
man should engage in. The water
for irrigating the valley is drawn
from the Wenatchee, Canal company.
This company is now projecting an
extension to cross the Columbia
rivera great 100000 combined
bridge and viaduct to carry water
for irrigating 5000 additional acres.
The. Reclamation Service.
In commenting upon the fact that
the national government is not an
tagonizing Legitimate private irriga-
ton development, but that, on the
other hand. the reclamation service
is favorable to It and even willing
to assist, Engineer Arthur P. Davis,
who, in Chief Engineer Newell's alb
sence, was found in charge of the
the case OF the Wenatchee valley as
somewhat exceptional
Many small companies" he said,

Transforming the great American
desert into profitable and habitable
farms A very valuable object les
son OF an instance where private in
fiuence has stepped in and reclaimed
land which was formerly waste may
be found in the Wenatchee valley.
This is not a community consisting
OF hundreds of thousands of acres;
it is comparatively small area, but
every bit of it is intensiyely culti-
waited, wrestling from Mother Earth
every particle of plant life which the
landcan be made to give up. The
Wenatchee valley land, before the
irrigation company stepped in, had.
l might say, no value. 1t was but
the home of a few wild animals,
with little OF no semblance Of plant
life. Under the wise administra-
ton of the company, the tract has
enormously increased in value. The
climate is ideal; no icy winds come
into the valley to injure crops before
maturity, and the soil which had
been reeking in fertility for cen
turtles. only needing the kind touch
of water to make it blossom and
bring forth fruit We have eonsid-
cred the settlement of the Wenat-
chez valley so ideal that it has been
taken as an example after which to
to pattern the Okanogan project. in

ton by the reclamation service"

Fears RoOsevelt's Genius.
(Henry Watterson, in the Louisville
Coulter JOurnal)


Coulter Journal.)
Whether Theodore Roosevelt medi-
tates the abrogation Of the Third
Term legend, whether he has planned
conditions which will force his nomi-
nation in 1908, or whether he meant
what he said the night of the last
Presidential election day, and means
to adhere to it can be known surely
to no one except himself. Present de-
malls count for little. They come in
the nature as matters-of-course
Meanwhile, appearances are against
the claim of his friends, that he
does not want it, and has in no
manner intrigued to get it,
The contrary is the prevailing
opinion among the initiate Sin
cerity" is a somewhat convertible
term when applied to the plans and
schemes of ambitious men in great
affairs With Julius Caesar and
Oliver Cromwell before the mind S
eye, thoughtful people may not un-
reasonably surmise that Theodore
Roosevelt will bear watching. Mr..
Bryan's best hope of the White
House lies in the third-term issue;
the manifest that but one man is
capable of continuing the work be-
gun by Roosevelt, and that to escape
anarchism we must fly to Caesarism;
a proposition fraught with danger to
the republicans because fraught with
evil to the Republic.
| The Courier-Journal has always
held Theodore Roosevelt to be a
statesman ard politician OF the very
first order OF originality, sagacity
and courage. OF his personal clean
illness it entertains no doubt. But,

of unframed minds.
V:-Wants concerning Aesthe-
tic judgment.
Love of the beautiful is a great
inducement to higher living.
The Indian who livesin his smoke
darkened tent, the sheep herder
who sees but the dreary wastes
of sand and sage bush are not to
be compared to the man who has
flowers, pictures and beauty in
his own home.
VI:-Wants in connection with
conscience.
The religious instinct is very
strong in man. Unless the soul
life is cultivated that part will
die and the man can never be the
man God meant him to be. Some
where, some time, God created a
man and made him in His own
likeness.
Not from wigglers, tadpoles,
lizards, creeping thing, animal
nor yet from baboons, but He
created man in His own image
and breathed into him the breath
Of life aud he became living
soul.
Man has gone or until he now
holds the key to every situation
in his own hands.
All the women and children,
young men and young ladies hold
out imploring hands to him for
help in all social conditions. And
they plead with tears for him to
stand between them and the
saloon when the coming election
day arrives.

A REASONABLE RATE.

On the railroad question he ex-
pressed himself as In favor Of more
stringent regulation, that regulation
to take the form Of legislation ascer-
tanning the present value Of the rail-
roads preventing the watering Of
stock, and reducing rates. Heargued
that q reasonable rate would be q
rate that would enable the railroads
to maintain their stock at par when
the road was honestly capitalized.
He discussed the present money
stringency, saying that II began
with speculation in New York, but
that 1t has extended owing to the
timidity Of depositors. He thought
that this timidity was not justified
and that the banks Of the west are
sound. He favored legislation, which
by increasing the security Of deposi.
tors, would remove even an unreas-
enable fear. ..sfr.
