The railroads in northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota are said to be
making preparations to forestall flood
damage this spring. At present the
snow averages a depth of more than
two feet in that section, and trouble
is expected when the spring thaws
come. Iowa will be given another OBJ
ject lesson in the spring of the neces-
sity of pushing it's drainage projects.
When the rivers of Iowa are straight
ened and deepened there will be a
great reduction in this annual loss
from spring thaws and rains.

GRANT ON THE ARMY.

General Frederick Dent Grant IN a
Washington day address at Peoria de
clared himself to be an earnest adVo
cate Of worlds peace, but he eX
pressed his belief that perfect peace
will never exist, and general d1sarm'
ament will remain impossible The
army he held to be means to an end
and that end to be peace.
General Grant said arbitration
courts or Hague conferences might
bring about peace between the ma
ttons, and the army might then be dis,
pensed with, so far as its being ne
cessity for national defense against
outside aggressions, but even If this
happy condition could be perfectly ac.
complished he held the necessity OF
an army would still exist for protec
ton against internal disorders and
dangers General Grant pointed out
where the country had suffered in the
/ asst through the need of an adequate
,gular army. He said:
During the revolution, if the United
States had organized and maintained
a regular army of 25,000 men, it is
certain that the revolutionary war
would not have lasted long, nor would
it have cost the great number of lives
and the great expenditure of money
that it did. If the United States gov
ernment had had a regular, thorough
ly trained army Of 10000 or $4,000
men, the war of 1912 would have been
of shorter duration. And If the United
States government in 1861 had had at
it's disposal 100000 regular soldiers
that terrible strife would have been
but flash in the pam
General Grant believes that the
best way to maintain peace is to be
ready to fight for it.

But the railroads, at the instruction
of the trust packers in Chicago, are
now going at it in another way In
stead of reducing the rates on live
hogs, they are going to increase the
rate on dressed meats 80 that they
will be practically the same as the
live hog rate. If the live hogs can be
carried to Chicago just as cheaply as
the packed hogs, it will mean that the
hogs will go to Chicago alive and the
business of packing meats in Iowa to
that extent injured.

Evils OF eaniah Smoking

In California and down through Con-
tral America and the West Indies the
practice of smoking ganjah, or Indian
hemp, has been introduced within re-
cent years. A rubber planter from
British Honduras, who is familiar with
the Pacific coast and all tropical Amer
lea, described the practice and some OF
ns effects the other day.
."Ganjah smoking" he said, follows
the Hindu. The plant is indigenous -
the tropics and was used to limited
extent by the Aztecs of Mexico. In
India it has been curse for centuries.
when the East Indian laburer was
introduced into the West Indies about
thirty years ago he brought it with
him, and revived and encouraged the
use Of the weed among the natives.
More recently he did the same evil
turn for California, SO at the present
time ganjah smoking is prevalent from
the Canadian border to Panama.
1.-THE plant needs no cultivation. 1t
grows luxuriant'y, usually in patches,
wherever the climatesis warm and the
ground is moist. The leaves are charged
with q powerful narcotic, and the meth
cd Of use merely consists of gathering
them when they are half dry, cramming
them into a pipe and inhaling the
heavy white smoke.
Zen or twelve inhalations produces
u pleasant stupor. This gives way to a
buoyancy of limb and desire for &C.
ton. The smoker becomes very quar-
| relsome and is obsessed with the idea
Of blood. This is backed up by con-
viction of his own courage, no matter
how timid he may be in his normal
state. AS the drug gains further hold
| upon him he snatches up the first
| weapon at hand and rushes forth to
kill.
| wherever ganjah is smoked murder
is a comparatively common crime. Most
H:ndus are common towards, but on
the other hand they do not regard deal |,
with horror. Therefore when they
have crouch against any one they
use ganjah to key themselves up to the
point OF killing him and do not worry
about the consequences.

The official returns of moose killed
in Nova Scotia the past season show a
total of 405, all bulls, as the COWS are

But allowance must be made for q
number of killed that are not reported
to the game wardens and do not there
fore appear in the official reports. This
would possibly bring the total up to
500. Last year, when the closed season
for COWS had not gone into effect, the
number reported killed was 6S8, and
allowance for the killings not reported
would bring the total up to 800 or per-
haps more.

MISSIONARYS ODD WORK
AMONG ALASKA ESKlM0S

Of the mission at Point Hope, on the
Arctic coast of Alaska, has sent to
headquarters in New York city photo.
graphs of a graveyard fence construct
ed from the jawbones of whales. The
pictures were reproduced in the New
York Sun.
The fence is an improvement recent.
ly made by the mission. Previously
the Eskimos were accustomed to de
post their dead ON plat forms built on
jawbon of whales. All the wood to
be found there is driftwood brought in
by the tide. The mission having de-
cided to establish graveyard, and d
fence being necessary to keep out the
wild Beasts, it became necessary in the
absence of supply of wood to collec,
the jawbones of whales which had been
killed in time past. In former times it
was the custom of the Eskinos to bring
ashore the largest jawbones of every
four whales killed, and as there are
over 1000 jawbones in the fence they
represent 5000 whales.
The iawbones are from 6 to 10 feet
long and curved like ribs. The butt
ends were buried and the bones curve
outwardly, forming picket fence.
Previously to the building of the
fence the bodies of the Eskimo dead
were deposited on top of platforms
supported by the javbones Of whales to
protect them from. bears and other
beasts. syc = ''ri- . s.ga ..-4s'. p..i
Mr.. Hoare says that the graveyard
was completed in one day, every living
person of working age assisting. While
some were building the fence others
were collecting the skulls and bones of
those who in time past had been laid
on the surface Of the ground when dy-
ing. In one common grave over 30D
skulls and three carloads Of bones
were buried. In former years Esklmos
who were about to die were carried
ut Of doors and superstition Of the
people forbade any one to touch the
bodies for several months.
In another letter Mr.. Hoare told Of
Christmas celebration in which four
willow trees dashed together answered
the purpose of q Christmas tree. A
good many Of the white men at Point
Hope have married Eskimo women and
make their living by Whaling; they
also attended the Christmas tree cels-
bration, at which thirty gallons Of ter
and many boxes Of doughnuts were
distributed. Experience at Point Hope
shows that one sack of -four, plus two
buckets of whale oil, plus sugar and
butter, equals 800 doughnuts.
