A ROYAL LOVE MATCH
PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE OF
GERMANY Welded TO PRINCE
ERNST AT BERLIN.
MILLIONS IN WEDDING GIFTS
In Brilliancy the Nuptials Far Out
shone Any Similar Event During
the Decade-Prince Ruler
of New State.

Berlln.-Love and diplomacy en-
tered into the marriage here of Prin-
cess Victoria Louise, the only daugh-
ter of Emperor William, and Prince
Ernst August, youngest son of the
duke of Cumberland.
In brilliancy and in point of the
great number of royal perSonages
present the nuptials far outshone any
similar event during the past decade.
Kings, monarchs of lesser rank and
crown princes and princesses saw the
fair-haired, blue-eyed twenty-one-year-
old daughter of the German kaiser
become the wife of the strapping
twenty-six-year-old prince, and with
the ceremony was healed a breach
between tn houses of HohenZollern
and Guelph which had existed for
about half century. The ceremonies
really began two days ago, with the
marriage ceremonies today as the eli
max. The civil ceremony took place
in the new marble palace at Potsdam;
the religious rites were celebrated in
this city.
Princess Victoria Louise had for her
attendants three of the prettiest girls
of her own caste in Europe. They
were Princess Mary, daughter of King
George and Queen Mary of England;
t>rincess Elizabeth, daughter of Kins
Charles of Roumania; Grand Duchess
Olga, eldest daughter of the Car of
Russia, and Princess Yolanda of Italy.
AS would be imagined, the wedding
gifts are almost fabulous. Their value
is estimated at close to S3,OO0,OO0.
The kaiser was so glad that the old
quarrel with the house of Guelph was
settled that, after the marriage had
been arranged, he promised to create
a new German state and make the
groom the ruler of it. Accordingly
Prince Ernst today became the duke
of Brunswick and the grand duke OF
Luneberg. This gives the young hus-
band a responsible job and makes him
the equal in rank with the kings OF
SaXony and Wurtemburg and the
prince regent of Bavaria. A consider
able portion of the province of Han
over, which belongsFto Prussia, was
added to the new states.

The state executive council made a
ruling that the state would collect
it's sand and gravel royalty for sand
and gravel taken from the beds of
all Kansas streams which were me-
andered by the government survey
ors at the time Kansas was divided
into sections and townships. This
ruling is based on the court decisions
that when the surveyors found 1t i'm.
possible to run the lines across
stream because of it's width or depth
that the stream was to be considered
a navigable stream for all legal pur-
poses The surveyors, instead of run
ming the lines across the stream
would measure up and down the
banks to determine the acreage.
When the Sand Royalty law was
enacted it was supposed to apply only
to the Arkansas and Kaw rivers. But
some of the smaller streams have
large sand plants and some of the
finest gravel beds of the state are
found in the small streams and with
in the meandered lines of the streams.

GOVERNMENT MAY
ADOPT NEW POLICY
Suggestion Made That It Lease
Water Power to Private
Interests.

Washington, July 3-Whether the
Federal government shall inaugurate
new policy in the development of
power from navigable streams is the
problem involved in the disposition of
bids received to-day by board of
army engineers for the lease to private
interests OF the water power OF the
Tennessee River at Mussel Shoals,
Tenn, and Alabama. The boards re-
port will he submitted to Congress and
the bids held in allegiance until the
great question Of policy has been de-
tcrmincd.
Several years ago, when Congress
was considering the wisdom Of a large
appropriation to make the Tennessee
navigable between Chattanooga and
Riverton, by the construction at Mus
sci Shoals of three great dams with
proper locking systems. the idea was
suggested Of developing and selling
the enormous wator power of the river
cofncident with the opening of the
stream to navigation. The army en-
gineers were directed to make n survey
of the river. submitting estimates of
,the cost Of erecting the dams. and to
secure bids from private concerns for
tho use OF the water power that might
be developed.
