gineer who reported on the proposition
was inclined to cast doubts on the
fourteen foot thing. in spite of the po-
etry put over in its behalf. He thought
a less number of feet might answer
and would not be in the same danger
from the changeable Mississippi cur
rent. This may have been a case
where official timidity tried TO get in
the way Of the American spirit, to be
run over and ground under the wheels
in consequence. The promoters of the
enterprise all live along the Mississip-
pi. have studied the situation and be-
1ieve that fourteen feet is feasible and
necessary. Certain it is that freight
ers are ever growing In size and hence
have deeper bottoms. If this canal is
designed to carry ocean trade, even
fourteen feet will soon be too shallow.
To show his faith in the project VIII
liam X. Kavanaugh, the president of
the deep waterway commission, has
incorporated $10,OOOOOO corporation
to navigate the Mississippi and to pro-
mote the ship canal. 1t is this COM
mission that has arranged the New
Orleans gathering and will take Presi-
dent Taft down the river in the steam
ship Mississippi, always provided that
the dikes hold.

MARJORIE GOULD'S SUITORS.
Russian Grand Duke and Austrian No.
bIeman Reported After Her Hand.

SNItST
George J. Gould's beautiful daugh-
ter. Miss Marjorie, has two courtiers
of royal blood among the suitors who
would like to win her hand. if reports
now current in New York society cir
cles are correct.
One of the noble aspirants is a grand
duke of Russia-that was tacstly ad-
mitted by Miss Aiarjorie's bushes
when her mothers cousin, Mrs. w. A.
Hamilton, displayed his photograph
and named him as one of "Marjorie's
beaus" during dinner to veteran ac-
tors on board the Gould yacht Ata-
Anta. lying at New York.
The other reported suitor for the
hand of the famous American heiress
is an Austrian nobleman who, accord
ing to some reports. has even gone so
far as to consult his solicitor in the
| matter. Toasts were laughingly drunk
to both aboard the Atalanta. The
question is, Which, IL either, does Miss
Marjorie care about?

WILLING WORKERS.

Civic Improvements Generally Carried
Forward by Few.
In every community will be found a
few willing workers upon whom the
burden Of carrying forward civic i'm
provements usually falls. Whenever
one sees town. community or district
more than ordinarily attractive he
may be sure that it has cost much
time and labor and perhaps expense
on the part of a few. 1t is even so
taking cities as whole. A few indi-
viduals are responsible for all the i'm
proved conditions in the slums or the
more humble parts, and in many cases
these bettered conditions represent life
blood. for there are those whose stay
ing qualities keep them in the harness
until the end.
Wherever public Improvements are
in evidence, aside from those usually
carried out by municipal governments,
it is certain there is live organization
devoted to the prosecution of such
work. These organizations are usually
managed by few who have time
| for such work. In board of directors
| or official corps advice and consulta-
ton are Of secondary Importance. What
is needed most Is some one who has
time to serve on committees to meet
city councils, boards Of public works
and the several commissions which
are part of every city government
In addition there are transportation
and power companies and host Of
other bodies, companies and person.

before satisfaction is obtained.

ries such a volume of water that it is
hard to discipline it.
An Elevated River.

Most rivers run in a trough. but the
Mississippi runs on a ridge. 1t is
higher than the surrounding country.
This elevation it has built up itself
through the vast amounts of sediment
that 1t tears out OF the landscape and
carries downstream. A man may not
be able to lift himself by the boot
straps, but the Mississippi has done
something like that. 1t is not only a
restless but an aspiring stream that
wants to climb.
Dikes on the Mississippi are as nee
essary as the dikes of Holland. If it
were not for them the lower river
would wander all over the scenery.
New Orleans would be another Venice.
Some of the Louisiana and Mississippi
plantations would have to be cultivat-
ed by submarines. That is the reason
ent kinds Of CONSERVATION in the lower
valley. The dikes do not always hold,
and it is hard to repair them with sew
eral million tons of water pressing
through. 1t is hoped, however, that
there will be low water when Taft
makes his trip. so that the unusual
weight will not cause an inundation.
, Perhaps the original idea in having

the board, and all Of the holes are two

inches from the top of the longer side
is fastened the board with the holes in

fastened the other board in the same
manner as the first-by means OF

Will Reduce Freight Rates.

Take the question of freight tariffs
alone. Not only the boomers of the
deep waterway project, but commercial
bodies in many cities and towns of the
country. have adopted the motto. "Riv-
er regulation is rate regulation" The
proof Of the statement as it relates to
the Mississippi valley is furnished by
the report of the chief Of engineers
few years ago:
"Comparative rates between Pitts
burg and Memphis by rail and river
on soft coal: By rail, S07 miles, 1878
per ton; by river, 1918 miles, AZ cents
per ton" Figures from this same re-
port show another interesting compari-
son between the rail and river rates:
"St. Louis to st. Paul, by rail, 573
miles, first class, 63 cents per hundred; !;
sixth, 21 cents; by river. 729 miles, first
class, 40 cents; sixth, IA cents" 1t is
the prediction Of an army engineer for
merly in charge Of river improvements
at Pittsburg that the cost of coal trans
portation to New Orleans, 1900 miles
| away, at present about IS cents per
ton, including the cost of returning
empties and all incidentals. will be re-
duced to 40 cents when a nine foot
| channel is obtained the year round.
| This will be about one-fifteenth of the
cheapest existing rail rate.
OF almost equal importance with
cheaper freight rates is the prompt
| moving Of the crops. The increasing
/ car shortages show the railroads un-
equal to the task. There appears nc
> simpler, cheaper and more effectual
method of meeting the situation than
by the use of the rivers.
Here is the real force behind the
ship canal proposition. 1t is business,
not sentiment. That is the reason IL
