has never stopped working for Dixie. In
fact he believes more strongly in the New
South to-day than he did when be made
his first speech. HIS great ION To Dixie
speech, made in the House last year,
still echoes throughout the country, and
has undoubtedly had marked effect in
inducing immigration and capital to the
Southern States.
This speech is considered by many to
have been the strongest presentation ever
made before Congress of the truly won
derful resources and colossal wealth OF
the south in soil, forests and minerals;
md it proves conclusively that in climate
and health conditions the South compares
favorsbly with any part OF the Union.
Whatever may be the estimate of Mr..
Ransdell at home, here in Washington
he is regarded as one Of the real big men
OF the nation.
Here are some OF the big things he has
done to make him so regarded:
He suggested the organization Of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress,
and has been its official head since its
birth in 1906.
He has done more than any other one
man to bring about the passage OF an
annual rivers and harbors bill instead Of
. tri-ennial BILL
He is given the credit for yearly doub-
ling the amounts carried in these appro-
priations.
He has from the first worked and CO.
operated with Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to revolutionize and improve an
tiquated systems of agriculture in the
south.
! II was RansdeIl who secured the first
appropriation to eradicate the cattle tick
which produced Texas fever, and causes
an annual loss to the south of seventy
five millions.
Mr.. Ransdell has taken an active part
in the great fight OF the southern people
against the boil weevil which does such
incalcuIable injury to cotton, the great
staple crop Of the south.
These are only some of things the Ma.
tional Capitol gives Ransdeil credit for
He is regarded here As the kind OF man
that is needed in Congress to safeguard
the rights Of the people. If he is returned
tothe Senate his opportunities for useful
ness to the New South viii be increased
ten-fold. One thing is certain: if the
Democrats in Congress were to do the
voting, Ransdell would go to the Senate
by an almost unanimous vote.

Fresh evidence. however, is to hand
in the complete REPUTATION by Judge
Thompson Of Judge Halls recent
charge that the Sanders administra-
ton gerrymandered him OF the cir
cult bench and forced him to run
for the Supreme Bench. We pub
Ilished Judge Thompson's statement
on Wednesday.
The gravamen of Judge Halls
charge was that the administration
took away the parish Of Caldwell
from his Judicial district and sub
stituted Catahoula therefor, and
thereby made his reelection at least
doubtful.
Bat what are the facts? They are
disclosed in the public records.
For over quarter of century,
beginning with the Constitution Of
1879, Catahoula has been grouped
with the parishes now forming the
first district Of the Second Appellate
Court.
BY the Constitution of 1898 all
the circuits were abolished and the
Court Of Appeals constituted of
District Judges specially assigned.
The experiment was failure.
In .1904a constitutional amend
ment was submitted re-constituting
the court with Catahoula in the
same district to which for twenty
years it had been attached. Judge
]. L. Dagg, Of Concordia, was elect
ed. but the amendment was defeat
ed.
In 1906 Mr.. Wimberly revived
the amendment with Catahoula con-
tinued with its old group Of parish
es. The joint resolution passed the
House and went to the Senate.
! Judge Hall was on the district
bench. He aspired to promotion
to the circuit bench. He and his
friends felt that if Catahoula, with
1900 votes. neighbor to Concordia,
could be cut from the district, and
Caldwell. neighbor to Ouachita,
Judge Halls parish. substituted,
his chances Of success would be en-
HANGED.
Senator w. F. MiIlsaps was the
Senator from Ouachita. He was the
warm personal friend of Judge Hall.
He is the same w. F. MiIlsaps to
whom Judge Hall wrote last May

MEASURING FLOW
Of STREAMS

Garden Island: w. f. Martin, dis
trict engineer of the United States
Geological Survey, with a party of
from two to four assistants, has been
spending the time, since his arrival
from Honolulu three weeks ago, in
placing Government gauging stations
in the Anahola river, near the present
dam, and in the northfork of the Wal
lua river, about a quarter of a mile
before where the pole line" carry
ing the electric power from Wainiha
to the McBryde plantation, crosses the
river on its way from Hanalei.
On each of these streams an auto.
matte clock register has been installed
by means of which continuous record
will be made of the height of the wa
ter in the stream at all stages. These
clocks will run for a week without be-
ing given any attention, and they trace
continuous linked line on the chart
which shows the exact height of the
water in the river at any time of the
day or night. From these clock re-
cords, or charts, it is possible to tell
at what moment the stream begins to
rise, the rapidity of the rise, the ex-
IRENE, height of the water in the
stream, the time it takes the stream
to resume its normal stage again, and
other valuable data.
This informtion, of course, is essen
tial for determining the flow of the
stream, particularly the flood flow.
The chart record alone, however is
not sufficient to tell the quantity Of
water in millions of gallons per TWEEN
ty four hours, which is of course the
result really desired.
To obtain the flow in million gal
Ion units, it is necessary to make what
is called Current meter measure
ment," of the stream, at the various
states of it's flow Such measurements,
taken at low water, high water, and a
good number of intermediate stages
will serve to rate" the stream-as the
operation is called-by which is meant
the preparation of a table showing the
volume of water passing down the
stream at any particular stage. This
tble, together with the registered
chart enables one to tell Just what
the flow of the stream is at any hour
of the day or night.

FRIDAY HAS
FRIDAY LUCK

For the third time in succession
Max Bolte sailing the Ivy won the
race for the Pearls held yesterday in
the harbor but at one time it looked
as though Friday would bring the
Elizabeth home an easy winner. Luck
was against Friday however, and he
had the misfortune to run into a calm
which settled his chances as far as
first place was concerned.
1t was certainly an unlucky day
for Friday. Right at the very start
misfortune overlook him, for while the
Ivy, The Oku and the Pearl were able
to get away together he experienced
the chagrin of watching them cross
the line half minute in front of his
Eoat. c. Dyer had the Oliu in his
hands and he made the best of the
start, leading the other three round
the spar buoy, but the heavy seas
then running were not to his liking
nor did the craft take kindly to them
and Dyer had to haul off on another
tack and drop out of the race. This
gave Ivy premier position, but Eliza
beth soon overhauled the leader and
took command, showing the way to
the marine dolphin. Ivy was still in
close attendance, but Pear! sailed b.
n.he" llOagh, kept n last position
the whole time The two leaders
were making fine race of it and
had not the Elizabeth had the bad
misfortune to strike a calm patch
off the Myrtle Boat House the finish
would probably have been one of the
prettiest seen In the harbor for a
long time. AS it was, however, the
race was over when Elizabeth was
held up, her sails tapping as the Ivy
sailed by. Eventually the Ivy crossed
the line winner by two minutes,
Pearl being one and half minutes
further away.
There is to be another contest for
this class of yachts shortly, when
Fridays luck may be changed.
