and distressing in the highest de-
gree. That these people should
be condemned to perpetual inun-
dation without possibility of relief
or redress, for the sake of an i'm
provement for which their fellow
citizens are enjoying great benefits
is intolerable to any mans sense
of justice.
"It appears to the commission
that there are three possible ways
of dealing with the problem. One
is to assist the owners of the inun-
dated lands by helping them to
build levees where that method of
protection is economically posi-
BILE. Another is to compensate
them in damages for the injuries
which they have sustained. A
third would be to buy the lands
and devote them to forestry. There
is more to be said in favor of the
last of these suggestions than
might appear at first blush. The
lands are capable of growing many
kinds of valuable timber. They
could be made to produce such
material for revetment and other
works of improvementin in the river.
1t the fields were abandoned to
natural growth the lands would be
gradually built up by deposit and
they might become highly valua-
BILE for cultivation" These lands
are not flooded every year, but a
gauge of forty-fve feet at Natchez
will put them under water.
CAN'T MAKE LEVEES
That it is impossible to protect
this entire crest by levees, though
the owners were willing to pay
one halt the cost, and in many in
stances they have built levees tor
their own protection and lost them
in unusually high water, is ex-
planned by the Mississippi River
Commission in the same report.
1t is an irregular strip of land lying
between the river and the high
lands east of it between Vicksburg
aud Baton Rouge, distance of
234 miles by river. "Within these
boundaries, says the report, "the
alluvial lands are cut across by
number of small streams coming
from the hills, so as to form, in
connection with the devious course
of the river, detached areas diff
cult of protection by levees." 1t
is not even remotely contem-
plated that the government should
buy the entire area, but only such
lands as cannot be protected by
Ievees, which, as stated by Captain
John F. Jenkins, secretary of the
Land Owners Associa-
tion, comprises 1000 acres, be-
ginning at Brunswick, Miss, in
county, eighteen miles
above Vicksburg, and extending
at irregular intervals to a point
above Baton Rouge, La.

MAY SELL TO GOVERNMENT
Riparian Owners FIay Find Sale
for Their Overlooked Lands.

Natchez, Miss, sept. AT a
meeting of the Riparian Land
Owners Association, composed of
landowners on the east bank of
the Mississippi River from Bruins
wick, Miss, to Baton Rouge, La,
held here to day to fix values of
their lands in event Congress
should. purchase same for forest
preserve, the following scale was
adopted:
Cultivated land, from $50 to $40
per acre; woodland susceptible to
improvement, SIS, and swamp or
denuded lands, So. A committee
was appointed to canvass nom
members of the association as to
prices for their lands, and to re-
port not later than Sept. IS. A
special tax of 4 cents an acre was
levied against each member to
cover the expense of securing the
passage of bill by Congress au-
thorizing the purchase of these
lands.
I. D. Frazier, of Rodney, Jeffer-
son county, is president of the as
sociation, and John F. Jenkins, of
Natchez, is secretary.
In February, 1910, the associa-
ton secured the passage of a joint
resolution by the State Legisa-
ture memorializing the Congress
of the United States to pass neces-
sary laws to enable riparian land
owners along the Mississippi Riv-
er in the counties of Warren, Clai-
borne, Jefferson, Adams and Will
kinson, in the State of Mississippi,
to secure compensation for the an
nual lnundation and destruction
for agricultural purposes of their
lands, owing to the construction of
government work and levees on
the west bank of said river, and to
provide adequate protection for
said lands.
The joint resolution bore the
statement that 10000 acres of
arabic lands involved gave total
of ST, 500 bales OF cotton annually.
This was for Mississippi alone, and
does not include the acreage be-
tween Wilkinson county and Baton
Rouge, La.
The Mississippi River Commits
sion, in its report of 1910, practi-
cally admitted that the government
had contributed its portion of dam
ages to the riparian landowners
on the east bank of the Mississip-
pi, and recommended that spe-
cial commission be appointed tc
investigate the subject, with such
directions as Congress shall deem
suitable to the case.
