CHICAGO, June 11.-Only the
breaking of levees on the Mississip@
pi river this year, with disastrous re-
suits, prevented a vastly greater loss
of life and property in the lower
reaches Of the river where the flood
waters are poured down from 26
states, furnishing tragic argument to
the executive committee of the Ma
tlonal Drainage Congress at it's re-
cent meeting in Chicago for the ma
tional drainage plan which was pro:
posed. with great drainage basin
embracing AZ per cent of the entire
area of the United States turning its
uncontrolled flood waters upon the
lower Mississippi valley states, New
\ Orleans and vicinity owes it's escape
from devastation entirely to the
breaks in the levees further north"
declared John A. Kruse, breaks
which caused death and destruction
running into appalling figures but not
equal to the greater disaster that was
prevented" These facts will be used
to show why the federal and not
state governments must take up. the
problem of controlling the rivers, in
flood seasons and draining the over
flowed areas, the flood waters of any
state rarely being the cause of dam
age in that state. The drainage
act" which was given final revision
and which will be introduced In Con-
sress, embodies a plan by which
about $1,000 900 would become avail

CRUSHED IN SNOWSL|DE
Kennecott, March 27

hSuutCOlt,
 Early Sunday morning Tim Brick son, on snowshoes, and Joe Swan son, on skies, left the Bonanza mine for Kennecott. The morning was mild and threatened rain, making the narrow trail particularly danger ous from slides. All went we'll, how ever, until the men reached point on the trail about a quarter of mlle above the tram line angle station. Here they were caught in a snow slide and both men were instantly swept off their feet and buried. Af- ter being carried several hundred feet by the force of the slide, Swan son succeeded in extricating himself, none the worse for his experience. Upon looking around for his con- panion, who was a hundred feet be- hind him when the slide occurred, he found him nowhere in sight, and had no idea in which direction the slide had carried him. The tragedy had been witnessed by the men sta toned at the angle station, and word was immediately telephoned to both camps, with the result that between forty and fifty men were soon at work with rods and shovels endeav- bring to locate the missing man. Ow- ing to the large extent of the surface the slide had spread over, this was slow work, and the morning dragged by without finding him. Early in the afternoon one of the snowshoes belonging to the unfortunate man was located and several hours later on the opposite side of the slide, cov- cred by barely three feet of snow and within a dozen feet of the edge of the path of the slide and safety was found the body of Tim Brick son. The body was brought to Ken necott and will be taken to Cordova by his brother, who arrived here rne evening before the sade accident.
 Owing to the anti-Healy meeting, the usual Saturday evening meeting of the Glee Club was postponed to Wednesday evening.
 A force of men is engaged in exca- vating for the installation of a ser of railway scales near the loading shed, thus making it possible to as- certain the weight of the ore at the originating point.
 J. M. Rhodes, electrician, accom- panied by Ed Coates, left on Tues day afternoon for the Jumbo mine The erection of poles and stringine of wires to connect with the main power line to the Bonanza will com. l mence at once.
 Charles Nelson left for Chitina on his way to Fairbanks on Sundays train.

CHITINA HAPPENINGS

, MT. E. F. Gray has returned from
 New York to take charge of his work at Copper Mountain. He will do
 about the usual amount of develop
 ment work this year, probably em-
 ploying 100 men or more. As to the
 railroad to his mine, nothing is set
 tied as yet.
 Rev. E. P. ziegler came up Thurs day to conduct the funeral of Tim
 Erickson, who was killed in the snow slide, but as it was decided to make the burial at Cordova he returned on Friday morning.
 H. B. Burkhart is in Chitina for a few days, looking after business. Bert Stevens left for Fairbanks with 100 head of cattle in good con- dition.
 The recent thaw and rains did considerable damage to the first 50
 milyes on this end of the trail Many miles on this end of the trail. Many Fully half the surface of the ground in Chitina is bare, Panama hats are much in evidence and these warm days are giving several symp- toms of spring fever.

With four-horse team and two and a half tons on the bob, Jack broke his rough-lock at the top of Tonsina
 Hill last week. He reached the bot tom in good condition, travelling at a rate of about 80 miles an hour Gus Carlson and Dick Rothenberg arrived from Chicken Creek this
 week, having been on the trail 12 days. They will go to Slate Creek for the summer.
 Scotty Croll, R. Hershberger and
 Capt. Hill started for the upper Su- sitna river this week. They took a
 horse and about ton and half of supplies for several months pros pecting for placer. The condition of the trails and rivers makes this the surest and most practical route to that section.
