The town of Rayne entered the
ranks of the .'dry" cities of the
state on the 1st of Januar,. The
information comes this way that
since then quite an exodus has
taken place. On Tuesday evening
the City Council passed an ordin-
ance restricting gambling in every
form and imposing severe penal
ties for violations. In cOnse-
quence of this town legislation
there was another set of long faces
on Wednesday morning and it is
thought that another exodus will
follow. What influence this dr,v-
ing away Of people from the town
will have upon its real estate val

who are to spend the $O,OOOOOO. Indeed,
1t is suspected that the peculiar situa-
lature Is due in great measure to the
conflicting ambitions of certain gentle
men who desire to control the patronage,
| the contracts and the expenditure Of the
proceeds Of the proposed loan.
Notwithstanding the fact, which has
been so thoroughly demonstrated, that
the commerce OF the Mississippi river Is
continually decreasing notwithstanding
| the $2OS, ,OOO, 900 that has been expended
upon the channel by the general govern
ment, It Is still possible to excite any
! amount Of enthusiasm over any propo-
sition to spend more money upon more
/ useless waterways Gov. Deneen re-
Gently said:
''The enormous value and Importance
| Of the proposed deep waterway from the
lakes to the gulf can be readily recog-
niZed. The continuation of the main
channel of the Chicago drainage and
| ship canal to Utica will establish water
| communication between the great lakes
and the Mississippi river through an ar
structed by man. The total cost of this
channel when completed will approximate
$64 ,OOO. 900, OF which about 100000 has
already been expended by the sanitary
| district Of Chicago In building the Chicago
drainage canal from that city to its pres
ent terminus at Lockport. With the COM
| pletion Of the channel to Utica the estab-
llShment of commercial navigation be-
tween the Mississippi river and the lakes
| will be merely question Of the deepening
Of portions Of the Illinois river. When
we consider the immense traffic which had
been developed upon our lakes we may
appreciate the effect Of a practical extern
sion Of their waters and their commerce
through the state Of Illinois for dis
tance Of 365 miles, traversing one OF the
richest mining. agricultural and manu-
featuring regions in the country. The in
dustrfal developments which will follow
are foreshadowed by what has already
occurred along the lakes and rivers where
deep-water navigation has been naturally
available

ANGLER HOOKS A PARTRIDGE.

ION In0 Field.
Some very nice salmon have been caught
UP the Frome this year, and as usual
they have run large. Capt RadcIyffe
has caught two, believe. Sir e. Strachy
one and Mr.. Bloomfield two. The latter
had a very curious experience the other
day. in fact we might say unique
While casting his fly over q pool a brace
OF cartridges were disturbed and flew
across as he was recovering the line. To
his astOnishment the hook fastened one OF
the partridges, which after a desperate
fight settled into the water and was duly
got into the landing net. On examination
1t was found that the hook was not in the
bird, but around the leg. On being released
the partridge, too wet to fly, ran off into
a clump Of grass and started calling to his
mate as though to apologize to her for his
inability to fly.
One often has seen and known instances
OF swifts and swallows being caught on a
fly. and once even remember catching a
duck by mistake when spinning. but do
not think any one has ever before cap
tured partridge on salmon fly.

in charge of the Illinois division Of the
deep waterway may be an ex-oncio
member Of the commission. No work OF
actual construction shall be undertaken
agreed upon and authorized by the
United States"
In other words, Mr.. Lorimer's plan is
to divide the expense OF constructing q
waterway between the government OF
the United States and the state Of ILL.,
nois, that the former shall have control
Of everything that relates to navigation;
and that the latter shall have control OF
the water power that may be developed
and shall enjoy all Of the revenues that
may be derived therefrom. The bill pro-
vides for a waterway OF an ultimate
depth of twenty-four feet, with five locks,
96O by 1OS feet. and preliminary depth
Of fourteen tset on bottom width OF
200 feet.
The Lorimer proposition differs from
the Randolph bill also by authorizing
the state treasurer to issue from time
to time as shall be necessary, at par, 4
per cent deep waterway bonds, to an
aggregate amount not exceeding 1000. :
600 and like the Randolph bill requires
that all revenues shall be covered into
the treasury and held as q special ac-
count for the maintenance and operation
Of the work and for the payment OF In
terest and the redemption of the bonds.
Enactment Unlikely.
It looks very much as II neither of
these bills would pass the legislature OF
Illinois at the present session From all
that can be learned Of the situation at
Springfield the political complications are
such as to prevent all important legisla-
ton. The deadlock over the senatorship
has developed suoh sharp antagonisn
that It would be difficult for the republi-
can majority In both houses to agree
upon anything.
Gov. Deneen is deeply interested In
the completion of the proposed water
way and power plant before the end OF
his official term, and his opponents are
equally determined that he shall not
have the control Of the enterprise or
the appointments ps fha RaWpjasionara

purposes.
State and National Partnership.
rna 1orimer bill differs IN many re-
snects and Is based upon the estimates OF
Lyman e Cooley that q waterway cannot
ha constructed and plant erected for
less than $26. 600, 900. or six millions more
than is provided for by the constitutional
amendment authorizing the loan. Mr..
Lorimer therefore provides that the state
Of Illinois shall go into partnership with
the government OF the United States and
that Congress shall be asked to appro-
pirate sufflcient money to provide "for
those features which pertain most imme-
diately to the easement for navigation,
such as locks and swing bridges. to the
end that all work shall be In harmony and
Of approved design and quality" In pur-
suance Of such policy the commission zap
pointed by the Governor of Illinois) Is au-
thorized to cede to the United States such
property rights and control as pertain
properly to its paramount jurisdiction and
duties In the interests Of navigation.

There are two bills pending IN the legts-
lature OF Illinois 6or the construction Of
q deep waterway connecting the drainage
canal from Chicago, at or near Lockport,
with the Illinois river at or near Utica, at
cost Of $o0.ooO.OOO. These bills represent
the conflicting views Of members of the
internal Improvement commission of Il
linois, created under an act passed at g.
session of the the legislature in 1905, to
report upon the continuation Of the chan
mel and the possibilities Of water-power
development along the route between
Lockport and Utica The distance between
| those points Is sixty-one and one-half
miles, the fall is lO8 feet and, according
to the estimates Of the engineers 1t Is
possible to develop 900 electrical horse
power. worth $25 per horsepower. or a
total Of two and half million dollars
| year.
In view Of these possibilities, SO i'm
portant to the manufacturing industries
Of Chicago and other parts Of the state
q special session Of the legislature was
question. It met just before President
Roosevelt made his tour Of inspection of
600 miles of the Mississippi river from
Keokuk, Iowa, to Memphis, Tenn, and
an address at the convention OF the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Asso-
citation. held in the latter city October
and B, 1907.
For the past five or six years the at
tention Of the country has been especially
directed toward the development Of in
ternal waterways on account Of the con-
gestion Of traffic upon the railways during
the busy years from 1908 to 1907, and as
sociations have been formed In several
states to promote such projects. Presi-
dent Roosevelt was one Of the most earn
est advocates, and his journey down the
Mississippi river excited tremendous en-
thusiasm In an address delivered by him
at the Memphis convention he expressed
his broad Views as follows:
This mississippi Valley being literally
the heart Of the United States, all that
concerns It's welfare must concern like
wise the whole country. Therefore. the
Mississippi river and It's tributaries ought
by all means to be utilized to their ut
most possibility. The facilitating OF
cheap transportation Is an essential in
our modern enterprise and we cannot
afford any longer to neglect the great
highways which nature has provided for

The city owns all of the orig nal town site of twelve hundred and eighty acres. except that portion which has been sold as building lots from time to time. Mayor Shanssey says the city owns today at least one thousand town lots. Many of them are worth ftom s20O to $500 and some Of them even more. Probably their average value would be at least s200. One thousand lots at $200 each would mean S2O0, ,000.00 In addition to all this. in a few months the territory viii turn over Co Yuma the site Of the territorial prison and the biG stone quarry which goes with it and the permanent improvements On the ground This property is worth s5a,- oe0 more.
