STEAMBOAT LANDING, NEW ORLEANS.
Of century France and Germany have
been expanding in dredging their riv-
ers and in building canals show the
value which they place upon water
communication. AS except in military
and naval outlay those governments
seldom spend dollar unless they can
see financial return from it, it is to
be presumed that they have proflted
in a business way from their invest
ment of money in river improvement.
The construction Of the Manchester
canal has made that city the center Of
Industrial development and the second
port Of Great Britain, the improve
ment of the Clyde river has made
Glasgow one of the greatest CONNER
cial ports in the world. and the Amster
dam canal is credited with being the
chief cause Of the prosperity Of that
city.
Manifestiy the growth Of population
and the expansion and the diversified
ton Of the industries will eventually
bring such a pressure of traffic upon
transportation facilities as will compel
the United States government to do
for its navigable streams all over the
country what Germany and France
have done and are doing for theirs.
The delegates are chosen to the
Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway con-
vention as follows: One member is to

city having a population OF $500 and
less than 5000; three members are ap-
pointed by the mayor from each city |
having a population Of 5000 and less |

demand of the people of this country
for the building Of the most important
waterway Of the century. In the his
tory Of this government no greater
project has ever been slated for discus
sion. With a waterway such as is
wanted it would unite the waterways
Of the middle west and bring about
trade and traffic conditions that would
benefit the whole country.
At present the deep waterway work
is in this condition:
The sanitary district Of Chicago has
built the deep waterway practically to
Joliet, nearly forty miles, and $6O,OOO,-
work. The entire route Of the lakes to
the gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans through the DeS PLANES
river, the Illinois river and the Missis-
sippi river has been surveyed under
direction of congress by United States
engineers. who have officially reported
to congress that the building of the
deep waterway is feasible. The peo-
pie of the state of Illinois have adopt
ed a constitutional amendment provid-
ing for a bond issue Of $4,000 900, the
money to be spent in constructing the
deep waterway southwark from Joliet.
A bill introduced by United States
Representative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri is now pending in congress
providing for the issue by the United
States government Of bonds to the
amount Of $500, 100000, the money to
be spent in constructing this deep wa

About six miles west of Laggan the

A rustic arch spans the stream, under

branch bound for the Pacific, the other

through the deep mountain gorge
known as Kicking Horse canyon, with
towering cliffs, almost shutting out
the sunlight, twisting and turning In

Yellowstone National park. Snow
clad peaks of greater heights, how
ever, are in evidence, and in that re-
spect remind one more of the Alpine
scenery of Switzerland. That huge
mass to the northward, 10000 feet In
height, whose peaks are covered with
eternal snow, is known as the Cas-
cades. To the eastward the Fair
holmes, behind which lies Lake Min
newanka. That sharp cone, known as
Peechee (called after an Indian chief
closes the view In that direction.
Along the razorlike back Of the Sui
phur mountain, 5000 feet high, the
Dominion government has established
an observatory. 1t is a favorite climb
for visitors to the park. The Alpine
club is located half way up the noun
tain side. The isolated bluff south
ward, known as Tunnel mountain"
has some beautiful driveways made
by the Dominion government, from
which pleasing vistas can be had OF
the Bow river falls and valley. Wild
sheep and goats can be seen on neigh
boring heights. About twenty miles
south Of the park entrance Is Mount
Assiniboine, said to be the Matter
born of America. The way to 1t leads
through beautiful valleys studded with
Transparent blue lakes and park'like
prairie openings.

Some people wait SO long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evi-
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as o
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to q
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home In

The letter written by Harbormaster Charles H. Morris to the senators and representati from this city, expos ing the little joker'' legislation to aid the harbor grab has already borne fruit.

 Senator Arnold further said that the proposed amendment had not had much of his attention. He implied that it would now receive as much of his time as is necessary to understand it.
 Representative Frederic A. Bartlett also said that he would investigate the proposed amendment. MT. Bartlett said: "I have not yet received the letter written by the harbormaster, but I have head the copy of it that was printed in the Farmer"

Special from United Press1


 Middletown, Conn.,, May 21-A tragedy was disclosed in the town of Chatham three miles south of East Hampton early to-day when Mrs. Lew is Carstem, aged 35 killed her ten months old baby. her 10 year old boy, and seriously wounded her son, aged with a razor. She then inflicted a fatal gash in her own throat. and died later in the day.
 The crime occurred about 5 a. m. in the woman's bedroom while Carstem was in the barn doing the early chores. The first intimation he had of the tragedy was when the oldest boy, Lewis, rushed out of the house and dropped dead in the yard, with his throat cut from ear to ear. Rushing into the house he was mortified to see the second son come down the stairs and fall on the floor badly wounded. He hurried to his wife's bedroom and was completely overcome by the sight that met his gaze. Both the bodies of his wife and the ten months old baby were stretched on the floor and the blood flowing profusely from the ter rible gashes in their necks.
 Alongside of the woman lay a blood stained razor, the mute actor in the tragedy. Eleanor, Carstem's daughter by his first wife, was downstairs when her younger brother rushed out of the
