WHEN MISSISSIPPI WAS LOW
Steamboat Captain Who Once Waded
Ahead to Find the Most
Likely Channel.

Steamboat men who have been con.
tending with low water in the upper
mississippi river the past summer
should consult with the more ancient
mariners In the Mississippi for point.
ers On the movement Of boats on low
water and then start out to restore
navigation on the stream.
Capt. William Kelly, secretary OF
the Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots
society, says this is the first season
since 1856 to his personal knowledge
that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer Of 1855, Mr.. Kelly
says, he was plotting the steamer
stella Whipple when the water was
-FOUR inches lower than 1t Is now. The
boat was towing two barges down
the stream, but got stuck on the
crossing at Robinson's rocks, II miles
below st. Paul.
captain Kelly says he waded into
the river ahead of the boat to locate
the best place to drop anchor and pull
the boat over the bar. The water
was ten inches deep, and the best
channel was located by wading, and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wetting a stitch of his cloth.
Ing.
Inc method Of pulling the boats
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out in a yawl ahead of the
steamer drop 1t to the bottom of the
river and pull the boat over by line
attached to the anchor and to the cap.
stan Of the boat.
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred to the barges to
hshten the boat. The run was then
made without difficulty till the next
crossing was reached, when the
anchor and capstan process OF pull.
ing the boat over might be repeated

county high school The gentleman
has very evidently changed his mind
since the date Of the campaign for the
high school building bonds, when he
took occasion to severely criticise the
school board because Il had seen nj to
do as the Washington county board did,
contract with firm Of bond brokers To
act ns financial agent for the board in
the matter of handling the bonds. In
a recent issue OF his paper, he took oe'
caaion to repeat that criticism and oven
ascribed the defeat Of the bonds TO the
fact that the board had entered into
such n plan for handling the bonds. but
now, he recommends that tho school
board adopt and carry out the very plan
Of handling the proposed issue Of war
rants that he has been eondomning In
connection with tho bond issue.

than even that seeming inconsistency

The Denver Republican is evidently
opening the campaign against the prop
osition OF n dry Denver, 1t recently
published n column Of clippings from a
number Of newspapers TO show as 1t
claims. that the press Of the country
generally isopposed to prohibitory laws.
The clippings were from only 10 news
papers but then Of course they would
prove TO the satisfaction Of those, who
are anxious to be satisfied, that the
press of the country generally is oppos.
ed to prohibition.
II the contention Of the Republican
is correct. then Il does not speak very
well for the influence Of the press OF

Had aith in Plan

MIDDLETOWN, \ ". March l3-
Believing his plan would solve the
question of woman's suffrage and
result i'll great good to the country.
O. w. Mapes, of Maplcdale, made
known his ideas today. His solu-
ton of the problem is to give every
unmarried person of suitable age
and educational or property quail
fications the ballot, and have every
married mans vote count twice as
much as single person s vote.
THE great mass of electors,
married men, would not be averse
to casting two votes to a bachelor
one said he. The poor bache
lor would then have an extra in
centive to marry the woman of his
choice. Family relations would
not be disturbed. How many
women would be found willing to
give up their name to the man of
their choice, but would not be
willing to give to him their ballot
and trust to their powers of persua-
sion to have it used as they will?
Were it possible in these days
to get a nomination or election
without contributing to a Doodle
fund, | would be tempted to an
nOunce myself as a candidate for
the legislature in order to see what
could do to get the human race
out of the rut into which it has
fallen. -

Activity in public affairs in the Ter
ritory and State Of Washington has
been characteristic of Judge Thomas
Burke OF Seattle during the many
years of his residence in the North
west The tact that he is now a can
didate to succeed Hon S. II. Piles
as United STAGES senator, brings him
before the people in new light, as
he has not previously sought polit-
zeal office But it also serves to re-
call to the minds OF all who have
lived in Washington more than year
or so, the extent and value of the
services he has freely given to ad-
vance the moral and ma erial welfare
of the commonwealth. Always great
ly interested in the problems of re-
clamation. conservation, good roads,
the development Of logged-off lands
and such ike matters of importance
In state progress, Judge Burke has
for years given his time to attend
ance and his thought to helpful dis
cussion at all public and semi-public
gatherings. Whatever consideration
his present candidacy may receive,
there can be no question OF the pub
lie regard for Judge Burke as an able
lawyer, jurist and business man and
a philosophical citizen. Those who
know him best maintain that he
presents a type of constructive states
larger public affairs, seldom found
among Western representatives in
the national councils.

STRONG SENTIMENT

A contract was recently awarded
for Bitulithic by the Village Trus-
tees of Port Chester, N. ", a
mounting to 21,OOO So. yards.
Prior to the awarding of the con-
tract, the usual false and malicious
attacks were made on the Bitulith-
ic Pavement, and in an effort to
secure accurate information, one of
the Village Trustees of Port Ches-
ter, Mr.. w. S. Comfy, who is also
General Sales Agent of the Russell
Bursall s. Ward Bolt and Nut Com
pany, addressed letters of inquiry
to several city officials, and partic-
ularly to the representatives of his
Company in various cities IN which
Bitulithic has been used. The fol-
lowing clipping from the Port
Chester, N. ", Daily Item of Au
gust oath 1908. reproducing the
letters received by Mr.. Comley,
contains additional evidences of
the high standing of Bitulithic with
those who are acquainted with its
adaptability and lasting qualities
under actual use:
At recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Port
Chester, by an unanimous vote of
every member of the Board. it was
voted to pave Willett Avenue and
South Main Street with BitulithiC
pavement; This action was not
taken without due consideration,
but only after the fullest investiga-
ton into the experience of other
cities throughout the country with
this sort of pavement. The Trus-
tees not only visited cities where
Bitulithic pavement was in use,
but Mr.. Comfy, desiring to get all
the information possible, so that
he conld act and vote intelligentlv
on the subject, and for the best in
terests of the community. wrote nu-
merous letters to heads of large
manufacture ing concerns and COM
missioners of public work in cities
where Bitulithic pavement was in
use, asking for their opinion as to
it's durability.
The following letters, many of
them from business men who are
entirely disinterested, and others
from officials of cities where Btu
lithic pavement is in use, are con-
vincing, for they show the actual
experience of other cities with this
kind of pavement. Space forbids
us using all the letters in our pos
session, but there is not one of the
writers that has ANYTHING but the
highest praise for the pavement.
They will enable our readers to
form a clear idea as to the merits
of this new pavement, and at the
same time show that the Trustees
have not decided to give it a trial
