RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

" -
the Mississippi river makes him
yet more earnest in supporting
the improvement of our water
ways by the national government
it should be cause for general
congratulation. -
When we have made our rivers
easy and safe for navigation we
have measurably solved the prob
lem Of preventing eXto lionate
transportation charges by the
railroads and freed the carrying
business Of the country from the
congested condition Of traffic
which now prevails and ever
must prevail while we are main
ly dependent on railways TO tran
port our products.
That transportation by water
is by far more desirable than by
any other means is a fact long
since proved and generally ac=
cepted. 1t is to he preferred be-
cause it preserves competitor and
thus insures reasonable charges
for service; it is preferable be-
cause it moves greater tonnage
within any given time than is
possible by any other means, of
transportation.
Not only should the navigation
of our rivers receive greater at
tention but the construction and
operation of canals should be en-
couraged. Germany is now en-
gagged in the construction of
canals with the purpose of Civ
ing her people cheap and reliable
transportation for their products.
A few such men as Governor
Clinton, who gave New York the
New York and Erie canal, would
be q most desirable asset just
now. This canal, as all know,
has been, is now and must long
remain the most potent agency
working for the development
and prosperity of the Empire
state. The proposed construc-
tion of a ship canal from Lake
Erie to the Ohio river will doubt
less be consummated and will be
of incalculable benefit not only
to the lake region but to the val
leys of the Ohio and the Missis-
sippi.
The general government has
done much for internal navlga-
tion, and, it goes without saying,
useIessly expended large sums of
money in the work. 1t has done
much work which has been of
little or no practicable value; has
undertaken work and after the
expenditure of large sums has
abandoned it because impractical
BILE, too expensive or not enough
beneficial.
The greatest waste, however,
of material, labor and money has
come through the intermittent
manner in which great works
have been prosecuted. Instead
of being continuously pushed
along from inception to compile
tim, long and frequent periods of |
cessation have interviewed during
which the elements have destroy
ed much work already done.
Oregon IS not without costly |
examples of wastefulness occur
ring through either of these con-
ditions.
The whole fault lies in our
methods of legislation. The inn
provement of rivers\and harbors
has long been a matter Of bar
gain and trade by members of
congress. An appropriation for
the Improvement of the Ohio,
for instance, needs the support,
before it can be passed, of the
representatives from Oregon.
Their support can be obtained
only by making the bill carry
an appropriation for the Long

GREENv|LLE HUNTERS RETURN
Messrs. Harley and Give Metcalfe
Arrived Last Night From Sta

Messrs. Harley and Give Metcalfe
and their tfusty friend, Holt Collier,
with their pack of thirty-f dogs,
returned Jon the Belle of the Bends
last night from Staboul, La, where
they have been hunting bear with the
Pres ident. They were much pleased
with their trip and expressed them
selves as having the time of their
life. 49,
In telling of their hunt they relate
a number of thrilling tales, but the
most remarkable and interesting one
IS of the boar hunts One large boar
When attacked by the d ogs would
throw the first one he could get TO to
the top OF the cane, until finally Holt
got hold OF his hind leg and Mr.
Osborn, of Osborn, La, stuck a
knife into his heart
They say there was not dog in
the entire bunch that showed more
grit than the little fox terrier be-
ionging to the late Harry Stone
There was nothing that scared him
and he tackled bears as Aelf as wild
bears and worried the wild beasts
with his gritty ways.

enon at thar place which Is rnystify
ing the people OF that usually quiet
little town and is simply unexplain-
able.
On the same spot where Van Smith
killed his half brother, Bill BARLEY,
last May, a fine mist, an1d4nfing to
almost rain, has been falling for the
past four weeks; at least it has been
noticed that long, but may have been
falling longer. The fact has startled
the residents of that section and sur
rounding country, and as the report
spreads, interest increases. The
place on which the mist is falling il
some twenty feet across and includes
the exact spot on which Barley fell
when shot by his half braother.
Among those who were at the place
yesterday were J. A. Conyers, Sena-
tor ]. c. Gillenwaters and Oscar Seav
who while waiting for train, heard
OF the strange mist and went TO view
the spot. Mr.. Conyers, who is we'll
known As a recent appointee in Unit
ed States Marshall Longs office at
Louisville, and prominent cs,izen
and politician, was seen and when
asked about the matter said that he
had visited the place and found
something like a hundred persons
gathered there He walked slowly
across the place here the mist was
falling and said in that time his hat
was wet and the rain showed per
( ceptibly on his clothes When asked
how the people explained the presence
Of the mist, he replied that they do
not explain it at all, as they know OF
/ no explanation Senator Gillenwatcrs
