WATER TOO SCARCE ID FLOAT LUMBER Mississippi Lumbermen Suffer

BIG FORTUNES ARE TIED UP

Jackson, Miss, January 15-(Special. J. One cause of the continuation of the cry of hard times in the great timber re- zion of south Mississippi is to be found in the fact that water is scarce everywhere and that there is no way for the woods men, the timbermen and the raftsmen to get their logs and rafts down the streams leading to the coast and the big sawmills in that section of the country There has been no rain worth mentioning in Missis- sippi since last summer. Pearl river here is lower than 1t was ever known at this season of the year, and the little boats that have been in the habit of plying it's waters the past several winters have not been able to get up or down this season.
 W. H. Stillman, prosperous land owner and timber dealer of near McLain, Greene county, was in Jackson today, and de- clared that he is at the end of his row till he gets water. He has spent since last July cutting saw logs and hauling them to the banks of Leaf river, where he has prepared them into rafts ready to take advantae of the first rise, but says every log he has cut is there vet. and will stay there till there is an abun- dance of rain to fill the stream so that the rafts will float He has spent all the money he could command getting out these logs, expecting to have turned it over time and again before this. and his neighbors are all in the same fix-that is they have spent all their money getting their rafts ready, and must await the coming of the waters to float them to the mills.
 A great many people of that section are dependent on the saw log business for their living, and the land owners have put out all they can rake and scrape on timber. The capital invested varies of course, according to the number of logs owned. anywhere from a few hun dred to several thousands of dollars One of MT. Stllman's neighbors has $12,000 in- vested in squared timbers, but like the balance of them he is powerless to move a stick of 1t for want of water
 MT. Stillman states that the Dantzlers have s2,000.O00 worth of timber tied up in this way along the Leaf and Chick asahay rivers and their tributaries, most of it being in the counties of Jackson and Greene, but some as high up the state as Perry county.
 Under such conditions there can be no such thing as the return of prosperity to the long leaf pine regions of Mississippi till there has been a long spell of wet weather, and for which thousands are no doubt praying the weather clerk to furnish as soon as possible.

The buyers were the local traders, arbitrage brokers and several houses that received December and January deliveries. Their support was given to March, supposedly to obtain possession of more cotton from the southern markets, while other brokers appeared to be sellers of July. The local feeling is bullish although they notice the constant selling by outsiders on each advance.

Railroad >Rumors Afloat.

Rumors are once more afioat here to the effect that the promoters of the Pearl River Valley railroad, line chartered to run north from this city up the val ley of the Pearl, are thinking seriously of getting to work on that great enter- prise-one that would mean great deal to Jackson. 1t would open up vast hard wood timber region that is now isolated, lying between the Illinois Central and Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City, and 50 or 40 miles wide
 Tifs enterprise is backed by Fred Her rick, wealthy citizen of Wisconsin, who owns many thousands of acres of lands north of Jackson, and 1t is very decid- edly to his interest to get the timber on the market. A big lumber manufacture ing plant is among the possibilities hing ing on the construction of the railroad.

Bank Guarantees.

The bankers of Chicago have
had a little experience of their
own in guaranteeing deposits.
They undertook it voluntarily
and not under compulsion of law.
Their motives were partly selfish
to avoid financial panic which
would have injured them severe
ly, but partly it may be set down
to their credit. They desired to
save the public from the losses
that would have resulted from
said panic. The occasion was the
failure of the John r. Walsh
banks, which the sound bankers
of the city tried to avert and the
effort cost them 100000. Still,
as the depositors were saved a
larger sum, the conservative
bankers are deserving OF the pub
lie gratitude. But it is an object
lesson in guaranteeing the sound
ness of the other fellows bank.
