NOTES OF TRAVEL
RED RIVER VALLEY
The Aftermath Of the Flood
and the Present Harvest
Season.


Now that the crops have been
largely harvested and the results
generally ascertained. some fair
estimate can be made of the dis
astrous results of the deplorable
overflow of the Red River valley
for an hundred miles south OF
Shreveport. The once rich and
fertile fields are generally a barren
waste covered with dense growth
of cookie burr weeds. or wide
areas of sand dunes and hillocks,
several feet in thickness that have
utterly destroyed the once pro-
ductive areas. The houses form
erly occupied with laborers are
deserted and forlorn, with water
marks above the floors reaching
mt times nearly to the roofs.
There are no signs of life. of
thrifty agriculturalists, of domes
tic fowls and animals among these
abodes. They are silent sentinels
over the fllood-swept fields and q
rich land pouring its cornucOpIa
into the hands of thirty laborers.
Fences are swept away and drift
lies upon the lands left inland by
the currents of the angry flood.
The continuous link of the pic
ture of desolation and deserted
habitations, is in painful contrast
to the once smiling valley, teem-
ing with life, with its corn and
cotton fields that yielded their
rich rewards to the spirit of in
dustry.
Where the land was planted
after the the flood, with peas and
corn, the people have garnered
crops, particularly of peas aud
sorgum and have carefully hus-
banded it for stock food. But
even these areas are small in COM
parison with the vast territory
overfowed. 1t is little wonder,
in view of the havoc wrought by
the wild waste of the waters, over
tens of thousands of prolific acres
of fertile fields. there should he
felt the. iron grasp of depressed
trade in the urban commercial
and the gaunt form of
want invading the once fiourishing
homesteads, of happy and pros
porous agricultural valley.
Those areas that escaped the
visitation of the >turbid
have made about half
crop of cotton and some times
less, fine harvest of oats, alfalfa
and corn, and the planters who
have been thus fortunate have an
abundance of provender for their
stock and are in comparative easy
circumstances, even in the boil
swept districts. This was largely
lue to early planting and strenu-
BUS cultivation, before the cotton
pests swept the fields later in the
'eason. This is the case IN the

Gutenberg, was arrested here today as
result of the testimony OF two men
who were summoned by the crown
prosecutor to the princes bedside, and
who swore that the prince had been
guilty Of wrongful action with them
twenty-five years ago.
The prince was involved In the
court scandal in this city, growing out
of the charges made by Macmillan
Harden. editor of Die Kufent, last
summer. At the second trial the
court declared the charges against the
prince, made by Harden, were without
foundation. After the Harden trial
the public prosecutor started proceed
ings against Prince Gutenberg and the
arrest today is the outcome OF those
charges.
The arrest means irretrieveabIe ruin

HOUSING REFORM
A NATIONAL PROBLEM

Richmond, Va. May S.-"Two-
thirds of the reform measures which
are yearly talked over at the Ma
tlonal Conference of Ch lrities bear
upon bad housing conditions Two
thirds of the delinquent children
come from homes where bad and poor
ventilation predominates; two-thirds
OF the physically III children, one
third of the mentally deficient chill
dren, one-third OF the shiftless moth
ers, two-thirds of the deserving faith
ers come from the same homes"
This statement was made by Miss
Harriet Fulmer OF Chicago at this
mornings session OF the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tion, now meeting in Richmond.
Miss Fulmer stated that drunken
ness leads the list In causes for the
necessity OF reform work. but that
bad housing conditions are close sec
ond. Her plea was for a national
concentrated action for better hous-
Ing conditions for the poor and small
wage earners.
Housing reform Is not a local ef-
fort 1t is a great national problem.
IL touches close TO the practical solu-
ton Of the great white plague. It
means moral, decent citizenship.
Some excellent work has been done
by the tenement house committee Of
New York, the City Homes associa-
ton of Chicago, the committee OF one
hundred on public health. These
movements are either local or inter-
ested in all the sources affecting pub
lie health. What we want in order
to awaken national interest and wide
spread reform is one great movement
with housing reform as its only spe-
cific purpose. All this work should
Oe under municipal control, but until
the public conscience is awakened
we are not going to make any great
strides in reforming conditions"
