In striking opposition to the spirit OF
Joy and happiness which pervades
Chrlstendom generally is the New
Year of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days. the days are not days OF
feastlng and enjoyment but days OF
Judgment. According TO the belief OF
every orthodox Jew. every member OF
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year The books kept In heaven are
opened on that day. The record OF each
man for the year just ending Is looked
through and taken under advisement
for ten days. On the tenth day, the
day Of atOnement, the fate Of each
man for the coming year Is drawn up,
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day Of atonemenE
the fate is sealed and nothing can
change Il any more. Chicago Tribune.

~ POKANE, Wash, June 10.-There
is more than ordinary interest
~ among the ranchers in eastern
Washington in the Dry Farming con-
gress at Billings, Mont, October 26
to %, and it is expected that prac-
tically every county east of the Cas-
cades will be presented by strong dele
cations and there will also be repre-
sentatives of the various commercial
organizations and farmers unions.
The Spokane chamber of commerce,
the national apple show and the Spo-
kane & Inland Empire Electric rail-
way system will also probably send
dry farm products to the interna-
tional exposition there, October 25
to 20.
Gov. Marion E. Hay of Washington,
who is in Spokane for few days,
probably is among the most enthu-
static supporters of the movement. He
has lived in the dry farm districts
in eastern Washington the last 20
years and is thoroughly familiar with
what the solution of the problem
means. 1t is likely that Governor
Hay will attend one or more sessions
of the congress, but in any event he
will lend his assistance as a booster"
and do what he can to enlist the sup

Expense Altogether Too Great for the
Amount of Benefit That Could
Be Derived.
nine FEET IS ENOUGH
Special Board Does not Believe Ocean,
going Craft Need Navigate Missis-
sippi.-Lesser Channel Would An
sWer All Needs of Commerce.

VAHASHINGTON, June 1O.-The pro-
posed 14-foot deep waterway
" project from st. Louis to the
gulf received a blow today when the
board of engineers reported to con-
gress that such waterway is not de-
sirable. The waterway would cost
$12S,OOO,OO0 for construction and $6,-
100000 annually for maintenance, the
engineers say.
The report was based on survey
of the Mississippi river by special
board of engineers created by act of
congress.
The conclusions reported by the spe-
cial board and the regular board of
engineers are practically the same.
The report of the board that it is not
desirable to construct a navigable
channel IA feet deep from st. Louis
or from Chicago to the mouth of the
Mississippi, was based on the conclu-
sion of the special board that only
commerce originating from sources
that do not at present ship by river
would justify the great cost of H.
foot waterway. Present and prospec-
tive demands of commerce between
Chicago and the gulf would be ade-
quately served, the board reports, by
a nine-foot channel to the gulf.
w. X. Kavanaugh, president of the
akes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway as
sociation, said of the report:
''They admit that the project is feas-
ible. That is all we want to know.
