TOXIC, April 3O.-The Toxic pa
pers are at present devoting much
space to the "shinjo" or suicide, togeth-
er of a young man and woman in a
wood near the famous pleasure resorts
of Enoshima. The case is one of so
many that it cannot be denied that a
certain class of the japanese is ex-
tremely prone to hysteria and senti-
mentalism.
A long series Of suicides began with
the death six years ago of a student
of Toxic university, who threw him
self over the lofty Kegon waterfall in
the Nekko mountains. He left behind
him, pinned to a tree on the brink of
the fall, a letter explaining the cause
of his death, which seems to have
been due to overstudy and his quest
for a new way into the unknown"
The circumstances of the suicide
made the beautiful resort notorious,
and numbers of hysterical young men
and women took their way over the
fall into the unknown. their reasons
for seeking death being carefully
chronicled on paper and left near the
spot. Finally the police stepped in and

OPEN RIVER WORK
MUST BE PUSHED

A temporary portage road has now
been built around the falls, steamboats,
from above unloading above the falls
the cargo being taken by boats below
and on to Portland. When the Celtic
project is completed steamboats, from
vast stretch in the interior will &c
through these locks and the system al
The Dalles and on to Portland and the
sea without delay.
With the Snake opened as far as
transportation by steamer is prac-
ticable it is said to be the intention OF
the government to begin work on the
Columbia above Kennewick in order
that the river may be opened to Kettle
Falls
Dr. Blalock reports an increasing in
terest in the movement for an open
river and one of the topics for consld-
Grafton at the Conservation congress
will be the utilization of the immense
waterways of the west for transporta-
ton purposes, and a consequent re-
duction in freight charges. Many of
the noted men who are to be present
will be strong advocates of an open
river and a more active campaign to-
ward the improvement of waterways
throughout the United States, and
much good is expected to result from
the congress here.
In a recent address in Washington,
D. c., Senator Stephen B. Elkins, OF
West Virginia, a copy of whose talk
has been received by DR.. Blalock, made
the following statement:
81 am hardly prepared to endorse
bond issue of $500,000,O0O to develop
the waterways of the United states. l
believe that current revenues Will be
sufficient to work out some compre-
hensive system of waterway develop
ment covering long period or years.
but should current revenues fan 10
meet current obligations, then L would
not hesitate to place an additional oD-
LEGATION upon posterity in order that
we may have in the United states
network of waterways as have the
countries of Europe. | say this pc
cause posterity for all time Will ENJOY
the vast benefits of such Improvement
and development.
1--WE are now in the throes of our sec
ond waterway agitation largely due 10
the work of the National Rivers and
IIarbors congress. The first agitation
followed hard on the revolution ana III
far-reaching effect, shared with the
Declaration of independence the dis
tinction of having opened the most I'M
portant era in American history Ihe
agitation now going on gives promise
of still more far-reaching revolution
neaceful though it is, than was ever
contemplated in the far-off days OF
Washington and Gallatin. We nave
reached the cross roads of the waters

for the Giants Murray has always
been a hard hitter, but last year he
had hard luck. At that he quit the sea-
son with a batting record of .2S2,
which is remarkable when it is con-
sidered he was with a losing club. In
addition to his hard hitting, Murray is
fast base runner and one Of the best
sliders in the league. In the recent
New York game in Brooklyn Murray
smashed the ball over right field fence
for home run 1t was the longest hit
ever made in Washington park.
