AN OPEN LETTER.
Editor ShreyenOrt Times:-

Editor Shreveport Times
see through the Iberian of our city
I that you are opposed to the divorcing
of the Red ard Atchafalaya from the
Mississippi on no other grounds than
you cannot see of what benefit it can
be to Shreveport or to the Red or Qua
chita rivers. This seems to me very
local and selfish view to take of one
of the most important questions OF the
day, and. in which the people of our
State should be we'll informed. 1t
should be judged, not by local and
special interests, but by the general in
terest Of all.
1t is we'll known that there is an i'm
mense section Of this State in the par
ishes on the west bank of the Missis.
sippi and in the Atchafalaya basin,
amounting 70 100000 acres in the
former, and over 1000, 900 in the latter,
of the richest lands in the world still
subject to overflow. These lands can
not be reclaimed and their rich re-
sources developed, because of the
great floods coming down the Missis-
sippi, through the Old river and down
the Atchafalaya. backing up the Red
and overlooking that basin, In such a
manner as to render it almost impossi-
BILE to ever protect them or render
their reclamation land improvement
possible. 1t is for this purpose that
the agitation for the divorcing of the
Mississippi from the Red and Atchafa-
laya has been advocated for many
years and it was for this purpose the
United States Government has spent
more than one million dollars in build
ing locks in the bayou Plaquemine to
give to all Western Louisiana certain
and safe communication with the Mis-
sissippi and New Orleans at all sea-
sons of the year, and at the same time
to enable it to divorce it from the Red
and Atchafalaya, preventing the Great
River from taking that short route to
the Gulf, making it possible and easy
to reclaim and develop the millions of
acres now subject to overflow. This
great scheme may be new to the Times,
but am sure it cannot be to the intel
ligent people of Shreveport or to the
people Of the Red or Ouachita river
1t is one Of the great schemes
for the reclamation, development and
of millions of acres of
the richest land in the world, one
which will more than double the
wealth and population of our State in
a few years.
It should not be looked at from a To-
:al point of view, as the Times seems
10 do, for no reason that l can see.
For the route by the Atchafalaya and
he locks at Plaquemine is twenty-five
niles shorter and can be made as good |
,r better than the one through Old
liver and the Mississippi. For these
'easons appeal to the intelligent PEG.
Die Of North and West Louisiana to
DIN us in support of this measure. It
:annot possibly do them any harm and
will prove of inestimable advantage to
he whole State.

TAKING ELECTRIC
STORES FROM sun
Test We're Made Wednesday
Afternoon Of Electric Cen
orator Invented by George
H. Cove.

The Sun Electric Generator, invent
ed by George H. Cove of Boston, Mass Il,
is being tested Wednesday afternoon on
the roof of the Grunewald Hotel. The
device is for the purpose of producing
end storing electricity from the sun.
and its successful operation may mean
literally 1.-The land of the Midnight
Sum-" for by means of it the sun will
furnish the power by which the city
streets of the future may be lighted at
midnight.
While this is one Of the possibilities
Of the invention, considered by cleo
tricians one Of the greatest Of this cleo
trical age. what the inventor claims
for it is probably even more worth
while, and that is the lessening of cost
for electricity to the private consumer.
By its use house could be lighted at
a minimum expense. and electrical
heaters supplied with current that
would solve the problem of costly fuel
At the Grunewald Hotel Wednesday
Mr.. Cove said that he had already sat-
listed himself as to the satisfactory
working of his invention. He is much
interested in the experiments that he
has made-he has been here two
weeks-and expects to make it in New
Orleans, because Of the bright sun
light here.
The generator, which Modern Elec-
trio has said would revolutionize
"our CONCEPTIONS Of power genera
tion," consists of a fiat steel frame, d.
vided into compartments. The entire
frame is covered with glass. The bot
tom of it consists of an insulation
through which some 1901 metal
plugs" are inserted, so that the ends
in the frame are exposed to the sun
light, and the others protrude into the
shaded air underneath.
In accordance with the same princi.
pal that actuates thermopile, a flow of
current is caused. which, though
slight 10 any one plug, becoms of con.
siderale power when a number Of the !
plugs are electrically connected. The |
feature Of the invention is the metal
composition from which the plugs are
made.-N. o. States.
