A Wall street panic that costs the
brokers $1,000, 100000 in the slump of
stocks and yet never causes single
failure is as dangerous as a french
duel. Not only is it true that no fail
ures occurred on the exchange, bnt
there was not as much as a ripple on
the general surface of the business
world The coup that the railroad
magnates planned has fallen so nal
as to leave them in worse repute thar
ever before the people. In the face
of the storm cloud that threatened the
president stood with characteristic
courage for the rights OF the people
and stands entrenched in his position
today as never before.

NEED FOR REAL BOOSTING.

Lewiston's progress has been re-
tarded in the past, more from insin-
certify than from all other causes put
together. There has not been a single
movement attempted, looking towards
the true development of the city and
country, but what has not had among
its supposed supporters a sufficient
number of insincere persons to vitiate
every honest effort that has yet been
made looking to the advancement of
the city.
Just what these disemblers hope to
gain by such double faced action puz-
zles most mankind. They may make
themselves believe that they are fool
ing the people when they arise in
meeting" and extol their readiness
TO subscribe and donate to each and
every movement launched, but fail IN

In the appointment of the inland
waterways commission to prepare and
report comprehensive plan for the
Improvement and control of the river
systems of the United States another
great step has been taken to safe
guard the interests of the whole peo-
pie. For many years the fight for the
rivers and harbors appropriation has
been one Of the big fights of the ses-
sion. Millions might be voted lavish
ly other causes. but this phase of in
ternal Improvement suffered always
from the pruning knife welded in the
name of economy. But it has been
an economy that fostered railroad
monopoly and the nation has at last
awakened to the fact and. the future
promises, a comprehensive and con-
sistent plan for the development Of
our great natural waterways.

THINK Ir OVER.

Dollars to doughnuts that Citizen"
is myth.
Evidently the advise of certain ones
has not been arranged for with refer
ence to the naming of the booster
club.
Some people sputter and splash
around attempting to create the inn
preston that they are real whales.
when in fact they are nothing more
than tadpoles. M
1t is queer how some people are SO
easily touched, and peculiar how
plainly they show that they have not
been touched.
The boosting done by some folks
comes high; but then its necessary,
you know.
You tickle me and 1 will tickle you
seems to be the only plan upon which
some people can get together.
The vim displayed by certain eIe-
ments in showing along good move
ment that carries with it a pie wagon
is interesting and exciting to the in
telligent observer.

DRAINAGE IN ILLINOIS.

nc auVlsapility Of systematically
draining swamp and overflow land is
nowhere more forcibly illustrated than
In the state of Illinois
The pioneer settlers of tho s+a+o
nrst selected the homesteads bordar-
ing the stream courses where narrow
strips of timber afforded them sbaItau
and fuel. The open stretches of prai-
rie land before them seemed 10 the
homeseeker only a menace to health
ana comfort. In many places the
waters of shallow and sluggish streams
oVerspread the land during MANY
months of the year So unpromising
was the land that large sections were
sold for eight and one-half and twelve
and one-half cents an acre.
Drainage laws were passed by the
state legislature and the work of re-
claiming the state was slowly and
laboriously begun. After the success
of the underground tile drainage was
assured, the work progressed with
much greater speed. This method of
drainage also stimulated the work of
providing better outlets and the i'm
provement OF small stream channels.
AS recently as 1880 large areas in
central part of the state were sold at
500 and $25 an acre. Today, these
lands have a value of $3.50 and $175 an
acre and are considered the choice
farm lands OF the state Many owners
of farms today Wall inform you that
their farms were bought for eight and
one-half and twelve and one-halt
cents an acre, nv their fathers from
either railroad or government, but
that they would not now consider ar
offer of $3.50 an acre from a purchas-
er, z
So rapid and certain has been the
rise in value of these wet lands wher
once reclaimed, mat it is not surpris-
ing that the Legislature of the state
has begun the investigation of the
conditions which retard the reclaim
alton of the remaining 100000 acres
of swamp and overflow lands within
the limits of the state. 1t is assumed
that the drainage of the remaining
swamp and overflow lands will prov,
the most difficult and expensive. 1
may mean an investment of large
funds than can be borne by the pr
waite citizen. DR.. III. Foster Balm, tn,
state geologist is at present collecting
data throughout the state which ma!
be presented to the legislature as
help in the consideration of the stu
alton.
AS much of this wet land is fount
along river bottoms the drainage prob
lem is closely related to that of tn

Some Fast Runnino.

Lee c. Dougan. a student at the
University of Washington, recently
made run of seven miles in A min

without preliminary training makes
the record more noteworthy. He will

Improvement of river channels. The
needs for reliable typographical maps
for each section is apparent. and will
probably be secured in the near future
through the geological survey of the
state which is now cooperating with
the federal survey in the Topographic
mapping of Illinois.
