Diverting the Rhine.
Cleveland Plain Dealer

L
Whimsical nature has changed the
course of the lower Rhine so frequently.
has divided and subdivided it with such
complexity, that it is today one OF the
worlds geographical wonders. The Dude
Rim. or the "Oid Rhine" passes through
Utrecht and Woerden and Leyden. and
is the first recorded main channel of the
great stream. At present it is navigable
iW canal boats between Leyden and
Woerden, but for part of it's distance it
is but tiny rivulet, in which small nat
bottomed dories. punted by patient Dutch
men. have barely room to pass. Today
the Rhine finds it's way to the North sea

the Neuse and the Scheldt. and form the

it's wealth and Importance almost as
much to the Rhine trade as to its large
foreign commerce.
From first to last nature has made
many alterations in the Rhine. some of
them of immense importance But now
man proposes the greatest change of all.
The German government is discussing the
de Inability of digging ship canal from
some point on the Rhine below Cologne to
connect the great river with the Ems,
and make the Rhine practically an all
German river. The Rhine commerce. be-
ing almost exclusively German, would, of
course, follow this canal. and large
part of the current of the river could also
be diverted The undertaking would, il

Marvel of the New South.

TOM IesIit =
The new south in the last thirty years
has made such marvellous progress i'm in
dustrial development and commercial i'm
portance that statistics stagger the mind
History gives no account of recovery
from the desolations OF war comparable
with the south's record. Forty-odd years
ago men and women In the south were
producing barely enough to live on. To-
day. for every man. woman and child,
white and black. there is per capita
production OF over 500 q year, and the
then bankrupt south has today over ST.
600, eco 600 deposited in bank, over s..
1OO.eO0O0O Invested in manufactures and
like amount in other property The
combined value of the south's production
last year in agriculture. manufactures
and mineral output amounted to more
than $1,000. O00WO, or over twice as much
as the total value of all the slaves in the
south when they were demonetized by
Lincoln's emancipation proclamation.

ferences between Germany and Holland
on the subject Of Rhine tolls At best
Germany is impatient OF Hollands eX
istence as an independent state She
would gladly absorb the little Kingdom
and take possession of the immense
Dutch co rn.es which are much more i'm
rortant an Germany's coiohai emPii e.
Tho Germans dislike the thought of Rot
terdam. a foreign city. becoming en-
riched by German commerce. They are
at present endeavoring to per uade the
Dutch to the German idea of Rhine tolls.
and are holding over their heads the
threat of the Rhine-Ems canal.
The Dutch are very obstinate people,
and not easily 'bluffed." The Germans,
on the other hand, seldom make a threat
unless they are ready and able to carry
II into execution. The outcome of the
DISPUTE is not unlikely to be the actual
building of the canal that will make the
Rhine. for commercial purposes a wholly
German river. and will establish one
more German seaport of first Importance.

The~Navy Department will soon begin

AT

nnIGH VIEW stands alone, as

city's entire BODYBUILDING his
tory.
Here is a great section of the
city-high above the rest of the
city in point of elevation, yet
right in the very midst of the city
and but a few minutes car ride
from its business and shopping
center.
A little over a year ago it did
not exist-today it is one of the
,ity's most flourishing residential
sections-and the home owners
here are not worrying about the
high cost of living.
1t usually takes a month or
more to sell row of the best-Sell-
ing homes in town. We sold out
the entire first row of these homes
within two days after the first an
nouncement was made. What is
more, we have continued this rec
ord-breaking gait right up to the
present time:
And now there are but a very
few of these homes ready for I'M
mediate occupancy, and you had
better see them at once.
They are six full rooms and
bath. The price is $500 cash and
the terms are but S26.92 per
month, which includes all inter-
est.
TO INSPECT-Take any G

At 18th & Perry
SITS. NV.

When you hear of home that
has hardwood floors upstairs as
we'll as downstairs-especially
parquetry floors-you can gener-
ally set it down for a fact that
here's a home selling around the
ten-thousand-dollar figure.
Our I4th and Perry streets
homes have parquetry floors up
stairs as we'll as downstairs-have
6replaces in both parlor and din
ing room, instead of only in one
room-have four porches instead
of two porches-have extra deep
terraced front lawns and extra
deep rear yards.
But the price is not ten thou
sand dollars, not eight thousand
dollars. or seven thousand, or six
thousand dollars, but exactly
$500.
And you have the privilege of
our easy payment terms-in fact,
these terms are allowed on all
of our homes-and the price is
the same whether you pay cash
or take advantage of the easy pay
ments.
A cash outlay of 5000 is all that
is required. The payment of this
amount makes you the owner, and
you can secure immediate occu-
pancy. The easy payment terms
are less than such home would
rent for.
This is the last of our I4th
street development, which has in
cluded over $50 homes. AS we
told you the other day. many peo-
pie claim that this is the best
value of the entire development,
although if that is the case, it was
not Intentional on our part, but
merely the result of that improve
ment which experience makes
possible in BODYBUILDING.
TO INSPECT-Take any 18th
street car going northwest. Get
off at 18th and Perry streets, and
you are right at the properties.

We started at s O'Clock in the morning
and arrived at Kearney at O'Clock.
Our friends were at the train with
horses and buggy TO meet us. We drove
around the town and had good time.
At II o'clock the parade came By and
there were elephants. camels and lots Of
other things Of interest. t
After the parade we had lunch with our
friends on a pretty green lawn under
some shade trees.
At 2:ao o'clock we went to the big circus.
At 5 o'clock We started for the train. II
had begun to rain as hard as 1t could.
We found the train was late. 50 we
waited at the depot, and at u o'clock the
train came. We didn't care how II was
raining, for we had good time and were
glad We went TO the circus.
