Loup City Northwesterns Hairless Jim
Dahlman has filed az democratic candidate
for governor. II nerve we're the only thing
necessary, nothing could keep him from
winning hands down.
Kearney Democrat: II Dahlman secures
the nomination and is pitted against a
county option republican, then you may
expect another Boyd campaign" In which
enough republicans went to Boyd's sup
port to carry the state and elect him gov
ernor.
Schuyler Free Lance: Mayor Jim
Dahlman OF Omaha has flied for
the nomination for governor on the
democratic ticket and proposes giving
Shallenberger another run. but he Will
again meet with defeat and worse than
he got Il before.
Tekamah Herald; We never could ac-
count for the vote in Burt at the primaries
two years ago. when Dahlman received
more votes than shAllenberger. There is
no doubt but what Mr.. Dahlman will poll
large vote where he Is acquainted, he Is
very popular with his friends and they will
exert an extra effort in his behalf
Oakland independents: Dahlman has

for governor, believing that coming out
early In tho game will give him a good
boost. Maybe It will, but It will also have
the effect OF crystalizlng the opposition,
both In his own party and outside, which
abhors his stand on the temperance ques-
tion.
st. Paul Photograph: Mayor Dahlman
is not backward about II. He says that
he is going to be the next governor Of
this state, and that Billie Thompson is
going to be the next senator, indicating
that he thinks the cowboy and the little
giant will be too much for Shallie and
the white stookinged Hitchcock. And the
Photograph Is for Thompson, but agin
Dahlman. Well, It always was able t.
take and keep a ridiculous position.

Omaha has formally entered the race for

Jim, Jim, what evil spirit has prompted

they, should, at least, show their own

whitney, chief Of the bureau of soils,

Americans are eating far more than they

Never before was the dietary Of the

more the pound when a hind quarter of
spring lamb Is sold at 1e cents2 why
does a family, forced to economize, pay

oats when they can buy a like quantity
In bulk at half the price? Why do the
people pay a nickel for a box of biscuit
weighing less than half a pound whom
they could purchase for the same cost
nearly double the quantity Of bulk? Those
are instances typical OF hundreds of
articles of food If the situation is an
alyzed We discover that the people regard
package goods with the greater favor and
willingly pay the higher cost because of
their convenience.
The real cost Of food is influenced
greatly by the character and expense Of

Dwellers Of the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys from their experience with river
floods In years past can appreciate the ex-
tent OF the disaster that has bcfallen the
French capital and It's suburbs. The record
flood Of the Missouri in 1881 spread over
the valley often ten miles wide. from Bis
marck TO Alton, but did comparatively
little damage to valley cities and towns.
OF greater extent was the Mississippi flood
of 1892, year remarkable for floods in the
United States and British Columbia. The
destructive effects OF these floods we're not
felt severely. being distributed over vast
area of comparatively scant population.
The disaster to Paris Is concentrated

width OF twenty-five miles. while through

The denudation Of the, mountains had
nothing to do with the dreadful floods
which have, from time to time, desolated
the lowlands of Holland. In this land,
much of which has been literally reclaimed
from the sea, eternal vigilance Is the price
of safety. But ceaseless vigilance can not
always prevent accidents, and when high
sea occurs simultaneously with high water
in the Holland rivers, awful calamitles are
apt to occur at any time. One such took
place at bort in 142l, when an inundation
of the Meuse occurred while a terrific
storm from the north was beating in on
the shore, and sending huge billows to the
top of the dikes, The waters of the river
could find no outlet. and so were piled up
until they finally began to creep over the
dlkes The resulting disaster had up to
that time no parallel In Europe; 10000 per-
sons were drowned and thousands OF square
miles of territory converted into a raging
sea. This, however, dwindled into insight
icance when compared with a calamity
which occurred In the same country about
century later The whole coast, North
sea coast OF this remarkable country Is de-
Tended by expensive dlSes, which also pro-
tect about 100 miles OF the Zuyder Zee coast
line, the embankments being from thirty
TO fifty feet high. seventy feet wido at
the base and having a roadway on top.
Their cost is estimated at 81, ,500,O 900, and
the annual expense OF keeping them in re-
pair exceeds 100000. In 1880 heavy storms
and floods prevailed at the same time, the
dikes gave way and the Netherlands were
submerged over 10000 OF the population
were drowned the loss OF life was so great
that in large districts Of country there was
no inhabitant left TO claim house land or
property. Not many years later the Dutch
voluntarily cut their dikes and admitted
the sea to drive out their enemies, against
whom they could not otherwise prevail,
but the act, being voluntary, can not be
reekoned among the misfortunes OF nature

The devastation being wrought by the
overflowing Seine, while sufficiently terri
BILE to excite the imagination even Of the
most practical and commonplace of man
kind, is but a trifle In comparison with
some OF the disasters which have resulted
from the sudden rise Of streams flowing
through densely populated countries. With
the exception of an extensive conflagration
or earthquake shock, nothing is more sug
gestive of the majestic, irresistible power
of nature and the impotence of man than
the rising of a great river. Originating
in causes but imperfectly understood by
man. coming with a force which the
ingenuity and strength Of man can not

With the exception of the Danube the
Rhine and the Russian rivers, the streams
OF Europe are mostly short, but all the
more dangerous on that account; for, AL
though almost dry in the summer season, In
times of heavy rain they become torrents
which do Immense damage. The Spanish
peninsula has suffered terribly at times
from the floods In it's short and rapid
streams In 1917 over $1,000 persons perished
in Catalonia from a sudden rise in the
rivers Of northeast Spain; in 1851 1000 were
drowned In Navarro. Torca, a city Of
Murcia, in Spain, was totally destroyed in
1902 while the great floods of 1879 in Murcia,
Andalusia, Alicante, Almara and Malaga,
by which over 2OO0 houses were destroyed
and 1900 lives were lost, are still fresh In
the public memory. The south of France is
upder substantially the same conditions as
the Spanish peninsula and destructive floods
have been extremely common. In 1840 the
Saone rose to a height that had not been
exceeded in 23S years. over 10000 acres of
arabic land were covered by the Saone and
the Rhine, Lyons was Inundated, in Avig-
non over 100 houses were destroyed. and
upwards of 800 at Marseilles and Mines,
while the loss OF life went>up into the
thousands. A general flood season required
in 1876, the Loire rose twenty feet in two or
three hours, a railroad viaduct, which cost
100000 francs, was swept away, and the
total damage done by this stream alone was
estimated at $20,0O0.000.
The short rivers Of Italy must be credited
with great deal of damage; 2e inunda-
tions Of Rome by the Tiber are noted since
the foundation Of the city, while the Po
and other streams have been equally mis-
chievous. The Danube has experienced sev-
eral notable floods In 1879, the great storm
year, the city of Szegcdin, in Hungary was
almost totally destroyed; out Of 6.566 houses
only 3S1 remained standing; seventy-seven
persons were drowned, and many thousands
rendered homeless. In 1911 the Danube de-
stroyed twenty-five villages near Pesth,
and two years later a Turkish corps OF
1900 men was surprised on a small island
near Widin, and all perished. In the same
summer over 5000 inhabitants of Silesia
were drowned by the floods, while 1000
perished In Poland, and in 1919 1000 houses
in Dantzic were destroyed and many lives
were lost by a flood in the Vistula The
vastated by floods and the instances are
frequent of great damage being done by
high water in the Thames, the Severn and
the Scottish rivers. The destruction of the
forests in Spain, France, Germany and
Great Britain, no doubt, had much to do
with these destructive floods, and the
policy Of extensive tree planting will prob
ably in the course of a century do some
thing to remedy the evil.
