the busy season. The railroads
naturally seek the long haul. If
they can get trainloads of grain
from Kansas and Nebraska
consigned to some gulf port. they
will take care of these shipments
in preference to trainloads of
cotton from North Louisiana. As
a result the movement of freight
from local points Is slow aid
often it is impossible to get cars
at all.
I'VE know that river transpor-
tation is cheaper than railway
transportation, but we have yet
to realize that it is also rapid.
When this truth finally dawns
upon us we may hope to see the
steamboat trade restored. And
until we take some steps toward
utilizing our waterways. it is pure
extravaganza to spend money IN
river improvements"

THAW sHOVELs SNOW.

Harry K. Thaw will have to stay in
the asylum for at least six weeks, accord
ing to decision arrived at by his law
yers and his family. There was lot oi
opposition to this plan, but the advice oi
Martin W. Littleton, who got Thaw ac-
quilted on the ground that he was insane
at the time of the killing, WAS accepted
foally. Mr.. Lttleton hiss told his
friends that au agreement has been
reached that nothing will be done until
he returns from his southern trip, which
will take several wetks.
Evelyn Nesbit Thsw, accompanied By
Lawyer Dan O Reilly, called on her hus'
baud yesterday, Thaw was cheerful. He
had been allowed to have his psjamai
and bath robe sent to the asylum. 10
the morning one of the doctors suggested
To Thaw that if he wanted some exercise
be could shovel snow from the walks a
the asylum grounds. That suited Thaw
who took big shovel and threw SNOW
around for an hour or more
The doctors who have been to visit
Thaw have not noticed much change IL
bis condition from what it was in the
TOmbs. He was very nervous aud irrita
BILE the first few days, but the doctors Say
that nothing else could be expected from
a man who had been through long tria
and who had heard the jury say "No
guilty." 1t is expected that when h'
gets used to the routine of the ssyluu
bis condition will gradually improve.

that it was procured by James Hsrgis

that Justice would be me,ed in some
way; if not by human laws by the laws
