began it was learned that in the bot

the vicinity as fast as the water was
poured into the empty barrels.

garding subject that is now engross-
ing the attention Of al rivermcn:
The Prospects For River Traffic.
While it is true that the traffic on
the rivers is nothing like what it form
crly was, owing to the keen competition
of the railroads, and while it is also
probable that it viii never again be
just what it was before the railroa Is
paraIlcTed all the leading streams, there
is no doubt that there is a great future
ahead for river navigation as the coun-
try becomes more thickly populated.
There arc certain classes of freights
that the railroads find little profit in
handling, and with the growth of traf
fc the facilities Of the railroads viii
become insufficient to meet all re
Quircmcnts and the rivers viii then
have to be depended on to transport
both tho heavier classes of freight as
woT as tho surplus that the railroads
will not be able to take care of.
There is no doubt that the steam
boats would have done a larger bust
ness had it not been for the ruinOus
methods Of competition inaugurated by
the railroads, particularly the system
Of cutting rates until the boats were
driven out, and then rocouping them
selves by restoring them after compcti-
tion had been eliminated, Under the
now railroad law enacted at the last
session Of Congress the railroads will
he practically dcbarrcd from this old
method of driving out the boats, rs
once they lower rates to take traffic
away from the rivers they viii be dc
barred from raising them again save
bv consent Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
While it may take time to build up
bio and profitable business on the riv-
crs, the restoration of prosperity for
the steamboats, is bound to come in
time provided only the rivcrmen them
selves devote the proper energy to the
building up of the traffic. The com
ing season promises well for the steam
boat interests on our lower rivers.
Good rice, sugar and cotton crops are
promised, in the handling of which the
boats should secure their full share.
It has been claimed that the boats
employed on our Western rivers are not
as up-to-datc rs they might be, and

therefore less economical than should be
the case. Evidently the steamboat
men themselves, and they should be the
best judges, DO not take this view of
the situation Their greatest trouble
apparently is the difficulty of secur
ing reliable labor at reasonable wages
The colored ''roustabout" who is de-
pended on to DO the rough work of
loading and unloading is a high-priced
luxury, and there seems no possible
way of holding him down to settled
and reasonable rate of wages. Just
how this difficulty is to be overcome is
a cOmTPex problem. the solution of
which is not in sight That the best
talent of the steamboat men should be
directed to the solution of the Difficult
tv goes without saying, but whether the
ultimate outcome will be the adoption
of mechanical loading devices or the
acquisition Of more reliable and settled
labor remains to be seen.

said in speech, You'd be surprised
to know that we have in New York
forest reserve of l. 100000 acres. Some
enthusiast spoke up and said. You'd
be surprised. governor, but we've got
in Idaho forest reserve into which
we could put the whole Of New York
state and lose it, There are 10000
600 acres of such land in Idaho.
ION that land there are thousands Of
dollars worth Of timber that must be
used every year or else go to waste.
but you can't get a dollars worth of
lumber from a forest reservation for
less than you can buy it from the
lumber trust. Out there we say: Tie

and the monopolization of timber.
That is all right But we want these

Wants Immediate Use Of Power Sites.
with regard to the water power
sites we feel practically the same way.
It has been demonstrated that there is
enough available water in the Snake
river in Idaho to furnish power for all
the industries west Of the Mississippi,
and water power is as unexhausted
after you have been using 1t 1000 years
as when 1t is just harnessed. Every
conceivable view from a common sense
standpoint suggests immediate devel.
opment and utilization Of power sites.
When you do this you have done more
toward preserving our coal and timber
for future generations than you could
by any other plan.
again, we would subscribe to any
law, however drastic. which would
keep the power sites out Of the hands
Of monopolies. but the plan which
merely ties up resources on the ground
Of some absolute nonsense about fu-
ture generations doesn't appeal to US.
Urges irrigation Of Arid Lands.
Another phase Of the situation Is
that we have in the west 25,000OOO
acres Of arid lands untaken. Vast
tracts Of this have been withdrawn
from entry, waiting for the govern.
ment to put water on it. The most
effective results of conservation poll
cies would be obtained by the govern
ment putting water on this without
delay. But the fact is that while dis
tinguished leaders Of conservation are
discussing before the public this great
question the poor settlers are being
driven into bankruptcy by the govern
ment's delay.
why, in the lands withdrawn by
the government are 100000 acres Of
our school land, and it is a question
whether the state will not lose that
entirely.
'"Then look how rapidly we are losing
possible settlers. 1t is estimated that
10000 Americans will cross the border
into Canada this year looking for
homes. They will take with them an
average Of $1,000 apiece. Besides the
loss Of such good. thrifty farmers. that
means that $7OOOO,OOO of good Amer
