THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
The Sad and RuinOus Experience OF
Years Is Being Repeated.

Again is the Mississippi River
spreading ruin and desolatlon, I'M
poverishing families whose homes
are being washed away, whose ac-
cumulations of years have been
swept away.
It is not possible to picture such
scenes of woe and it is only those
who have experienced such disaster
that have an adequate realization
Of the condition of the thousands
who have been driven from their
habitations by the break in the
levee at Gibson Landing, north OF
Vandalia, in the Parish of Tensas.
From this other parishes will be
flooded,
If the break in the levees was
only at Gibson Landing there would
be some consolation in the reflection
that the disaster is limited to that
or the parishes adjoining, but there
are breaks in the levees on the Mis-
sissippi River in Tennessee, in Ar
kansas, in Mississippi and in Louis
lana, more or less disastrous.
The recital of today is as in the
years past and will continue in the
years to come, until there shall be
exercised the system suggested by
nature in outlets as was designed
by Captain Cowden, steamboat and
river man of years of experience,
who protested against the all levee
system and was daubed crank
by engineers who gave the assur-
ance that the river would scOur it
self, but this theory has not been
maintained. Instead, the levees must
be raised little higher every year,
and every years the floods are more
devastating in flooding the greatest
area of country heretofore free
from floods.
It is time that common sense were
being applied in the protection OF
the dwellers along the rivers that
are subject to annual floods.
II is true the protection of the
dwellers along the rivers will re-
quire millions of dollars, but this
money may be applied with profit
IN the conforming to natures plan
instead of the proposed erection OF
dams and reservoirs and other the
oretical schemes which can be of
little if any value.

Anti-freezing Faucet.

William J. Thomas of Shreveport
has invented and has had patented
an anti-freezing faucet which should
be in general demand, especially
during winter when the tempera-
ture is freezing. Such faucet would
save more than one ugly expression
frequently heard when the faucet is
frigid.

after opening slightly lower, gradually
developed strength and before noon
gains were general. New Haven, Read
ing and New York Central rose
point.
The depression in Canadian Pacific
was attributed largely to selling here
by Berlin, Paris and London, due
largely to the collapse of Russian
securities abroad. Steadiness of the
market in the face Of Canadian Pa
cities slump, which amounted to -
points. indicated that the list was
speculatively sold euT and the bear
position vulnerable. Bearish state
ments of a leading steel manufacturer
failed TO influence the market for steel
shares.
Bonds were easy.
Dizziness was the distinguishing fea-
ture of the early afternoon market
American Express broke 81 to 50, the
lowest in nearly 80 years
Extension of the rise invited some
profit taking which was more effective
in Union Pacific. Amalgamated and
New Haven. Weakness of Reading As
which lost IL to 911z, attracted con-
siderable attention, in view of the pro-
nounced strength Of the stock.
The market closed heavy. It began
to show the effect Of extensive selling
of Canadian Pacific, prices Of the IA

figure. Canadian Pacific fell 61z
