San Marcos. Tex, Feb. 5.-Pri.
s. w. Stanfield, of the Southwest
Texas Normal. and H. c. Hubl,s, of
this city. both being close students
of astronomy, are to-day recipients
of much congratulations upon the
discovery of Halley's comet, which
WAS visible for the first time in this
section Of the world last night. These
two had been on the lookout for the
celestial Traveller for some days. each
using his own telescope. Last night
the object of their search was discoy-
cred by Mr.. Hubbs. who had set up
his instruments at his home in the
northern part of the city. He imme-
diately communicated with Prof.
Stanfield, that gentleman going at
once to the same place and viewing
the celestial body. The location is
in a straight line west with the two
brightest stars of Arts. about three
and half degrees north and one and
a half degrees west of the planet Sat-
urn, and about hall degree east Of
Epsilon Piscium. 1t can be very
easily seen with a telescope Of the

and Hubs are out with their tele-
scopes tonight studying the hea ven.

Closing Mouth of Red River
Capt Teal Holds that Red and Ouachta Rivers Should
be Divorced from the Mississippi Shreveport
Times Discusses the Proposition.

'S POs Atssco vi u to. AOtu
has the following communication
from Capt. 6. H. Trul, of Colfax:
Editor of The Shreveport Times:
Dear Sir-I notice an editorial in
your issue Of Sunday. the 18th inst.
the first lines of which read as fol-
lows: "The Times fails to see wherein
the plan to dam Old river and divert
the waters of the Red and the Qua
chita rivers into the AtchafaIaya
would be Of any benefit to the people
living in the valleys Of the Red and
the Ouachita rivers"
As n taxpayer, deem the above is
OF such grave error cannot afford
to let it go without correction.
Now, if you will consult your gauge
ut Shreveport you will find the food
Of 1908 lacked six inches of being as
high as the food waters of 1892. At
Coushatta they just came to the
1892, at Monty emery two and half
feet higher than in 1892, at Colf8x
three and half feet, at Alexandria
practically four and half feet; and
ut q point near where the Red empties
into the Atchafalaya five and half
feet.
This was brought about by the
building of a levee across the great
swamp or low ground between Bayou
des GLASSES and the Atchafalaya
(which levee was probably built in
1905 and 1907 Previous to this
time the waters OF the Red and the
Ouachita, or moreproperly speaking
the Black, made their exit through
this swamp, 1.-THE Mississippi being
high having taken possession OF the
Old river and the Atchafalaya.
Now, we must do one Of three
things, or abandon our lands and
homes on the lower Red and Black
and Ouachita rivers, viz: Tear down
this wall OF earth. pnt up by the Alex
andria and Atchafalaya Levee Board,
OF take up the line OF levees now
built to the lower line OF Bossier PAL
ish and extend them to the town of
Alexandrla, a distance Of probably
125 miles (both sides of the river
$50 miles, which means perpetual
tax of ten mills, or divorce the two
rivers.
Now, it is less than 100 miles from
the mouth of the Red via the Atcha-
falaya to the Gulf, which is practical
" straight river, and has a fall Of
five and hall inches to the mile,
while from the mouth OF the Red to
the Gulf down the Mississippi river is
more than 800 miles. with fall of
probably less than three inches to
the mile, so yon see the separation
would increase the current OF the Red,
scour its channel, and the levees al
ready built would go into disuse, and
our beautiful valley would blossom
as the rose. l want to call your at
tention to one more fact.
There was not . drop oil rain water
fell between Shreveport and AIexan-
dnu during the high water of 1905,
30 it cannot be cluimed that that af.
feeted the levels; as well aus it must be
admitted all the water TINT came
down the Red must have converged
ut Shreveport. Sincerely,

argument in favor of the project.
1t opens up the old question OF levees
or no levees, One argument il, that
when you confinea riverto it's banks.
closing up the outlets, it will ''scour"
out, and thus accommodate foods.
The other argument is that levees
have added to the food problem,
made it more expensive and danger
Gus. and provided no safeguard.
Certain it il that in the process of
securing out the Red and Atchafalaya
rivers somebody is apt to be Gamag-
ed. With the Red and the Ouachita
both at the food stage the Atchafa-
laya would not afford sufficient
outlet at first. All this water would
be dumped on the people along the
Atchafalaya until that river ''scour-
ed" out sufficiently to take care Of it.
There may be theories as to how long
this would take. but We doubt if any
one is qualified to say Oh hand, and
we doubt il anyone can estimate the
possible damage in advance. So
that, while we are considering how
easy it may be to get rid of the sur
plus water in Bed river, we must also
consider what effect it will have on
our neighbors below Us. This il TAX
ing for granted that the securing"
theory is sound.
But The Times did not start out to
discuss the engineering problems in
volved in the scheme to divorce the
two rivers. 1T is manifest" wesaid
"that the interests of the people liv-
ing along the Red and Ouachita
rivers are paramount in this matter.
II divorcing the Red from the Mis-
sissippi will help them in any way,
there could be no reasonable objec-
tlOn 20 the project. linen we under
took to call attention to the impor-
tance to keeping both the Red and
the Uuachita open to navigation, and
to express the opinion that the neces-
sity of taking boats down the Atch-
afalaya, and thence through the
Plaquemine locks to the Mississippi,
would tend to interfere with the nav
igatlon Of these rivers.
In a matter of SO much Importance
something more than theory is re.
quired. Capt. Teal's idea may be
practical-The Times is not co,npe-
tent to state. The food problem On
Red river is one of tremendous con.
Germ, and thousands would be willing
to sacrifice the river as a navigable
waterway il thereby the danger o
foods was averted. 1t remains fol
the engineers to determine whether
damming the mouth of Red river
would solve the food problem.

VOTE FOR
CHAS. EMERSON

The Eagle hopes that Chas. H.
Emerson who is one of the cam
didates for state representative
from this county will be elected
at the general election next
month, and advises it's readers
to vote for him. During the
many years he has made his
home in this county he has borne
an excellent reputation as a man
and a citizen. If elected he will
be found working for the best
interest of the county at all times.
Mr.. Emerson is not in favor of
county division at the present
time, and will not be in favor of
it until the people in general be-
lieve that the time for it has
come. His oponent, we under
stand, believes in this move now,
although he has not stated him
self in this light. A vote for
Chas. H. Emerson is a vote for
the right man in the right place.
Hereafter all reading notices
