Two Rates Maintained.

"A few years ago Red river and Qua
chita river both had regular lines of
steamboats,. which did a very profitable
business for four or five months during
the year. With the advent of railroads
in that territory two rates were main
tanned. One. the regular railroad tarin,
which applied during low water. when
the rivers were not navigable, the other
the water competitive tariff which was
flexible, gave very low rates to competi-
tive points and was worked vigorously
by city freight agents the moment the
weather bureau indicated sufncient rain

81 per bale: now, with no boats running
to that point. the rate is 60 cents per 1OO

sonal Judgment, If all interested trans

Texas Has Progressed.

Almost every BODY VINO discusses the
subject writes in the same tone that the
| south was pauperized by the war. But
you never heard any complaint of this
kind from Texas, which has doomed
ahead with tremendous impetus and has
become one of the richest states in the
Union.
Every condition that applied to Alabama
applied to Texas. And there is not a
man in Alabama today who had greater
difficulties to encounter than men of his
class in Texas.
from the civil war as Alabama, and
afterward from the Indian wars, and
was reduced to poverty by the grass
hopper plague. Her people had to pay
the same prices for their clothing. the
same taxes and the same interest and
insurance that the people of Alabama
paid, and practically started upon moth
ing. and they are rich and Alabama is
poor.
The women and children of Kansas
make more money from their poultry and
eggs than the entire state of Alabama
receives from Its cotton crop. 1t Is just
as easy for family In the south to
raise chickens and eggs as it is in
Kansas.
Alabama is nearer the market for eggs
and poultry. And yet her people have
never triede to take advantage of this
opportunity to add to their wealth in
this way and other ways that are ia
miIiar to Kansas and the northwestern
states.
The population of Alabama has scarcely
doubled during the last half century. In
1860 there were 96s.201 people in the
state; by the last census there were
,S28 697 people. In 1850 Kansas had
IO7 2O6 population: in 1900 1t had l,47O. 4S5
In 1860 Texas had 604.215 people; In 1900
it had 3,O48, 40.
Both Kansas and Texas have added at
least 10 per cent and probably Is per
cent to their population since the census
was taken. Their wealth. through their
enterprise and public spirit, has mora
than doubled, while Alabama has nrac.
tically stood still.
Lack Of Public Spirit.

the terrible effects Of the civil war. They
are due simply to the lack Of public spirit

What Is Needed.

An additional disadvantage under
which former steamboat men labored was
that those boats, especially in the lower
Mississippi. were practically floating PAL
aces, constructed at very high expense
and carrying expensive stewards and
chefs. and while intended for high-class
passengers, were not the economical
boats which are necessary and which
could be advantageously used for freight
transportation. What is needed is. first,
economical, light draft boats which can
handle an immense tonnage at a mimi
mum expense for fuel and crew. and then
a system of model barges which can offer
the maximum carrying capacity, pro-
vided with travelling cranes which will
place the freight economically at the
minimum expense.
.As you have ably stated in number
of your articles. the south is sleeping
over many of her most valuable possibli-
ties, and when we wake up to the fact
that we can be assured of regular trans
portation without the runous rates which
arc put into effect by the railroads every
time they meet water transportation, in
vestors will probably see the certainty of
an assured return. and we will again find
our waterways utilized as nature intended
them to be, for the cheapest transporta-
tiCn known to man."

TICKET CONTEST

~ So a-
Success.

The last week of the ticket selling
contest has arrived and the Rock Is
land baseball directors wish to remind
the fans of what the sale means to
them. This means of raising money
was thought to be the best possible as
it gives every one chance to donate
a little to the cause of baseball with
out causing any hardships and at the
same time the donor will get his full
moneys worth out of what he gives.
No reports have been given out lately
on the number of tickets sold and il
is thought that the sale is not meeting
with the success which was expected
by those who proposed it, neverthe-
less, the baseball spirit has not waned
and there seems to be no reason why
the number of tickets sold should not
pass pretty well beyond the 1000
mark.
