NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Grand Opera
in English, dignified and within the
financial reach of the masses-this is
the dream of the opera enthusiasts that
has been realized by the Century Opera
company at the "old New theatre, un-
der the management of Milton and Sar-
gent Aborn. "Aida" was the opening
offering and the frst-night audience
that taxed the capacity of the big thea
tie and the gala manner in which ii
expressed it's arLroval stamped the
premiere as a success.
This near approach TO the peoples
o, era" is the outgrowth of a movement
started by Edward Kellogg Baird and
| fostere6 by members Of the City club.
Some members of the Metropolitan
Grand Opera company directorate VOL
unteered to give financial assistance
and to lend scenery and properties
from the Metropolitan opera house, and
1t is largely due to the generosity of
such public spirited men as w. K. Van
derbilt, Otto H. Kahn. Clarence Mack
ay, Henry Rogers Winthrop and Henry
Paine Whitney that the project mater
ialized and that aida" was presented
in such a creditable manner.
1t was not typical grand opera au-
dience that went to the Century on the
first night. 1t was not metropolitan
crowd who heard and applauded. There
were present of course many men and
women prominent in musical affairs
who frequently flock to the Metropoli
tan, but there were present, too, any
number of opera devotees who came
to see and hear and be convinced. They
did not display the conventional grand
opera toys" and this was the first sign
that opera has reached the masses"
They were there in their working
clothes" The Century opera season
will run for thirty-fve weeks.
Plenty of Grand Opera.
Indications are that New York will
have more opera this season than ever
before The Metropolitan opera house
will open for season of TWENTY-FIVE
weeks in November, and Oscar Ham
merstein is making plans to open
new opera house with a brand new |
of European opera stars early |
in the season. The light opera out |
look also is promising. "Rob-Roy," an |
old light opera by Reginald de Koven
and Harry B. Smith, was revived few
nights ago with Bessie Abbott and JEFF
ferson de Angels singing the leading
those in the audience who had not
heard it before wondered why it was
not revived sooner, or had not been
kept going when it was new. The old
music and the old songs, it seems, are
better than the new stuff being written
his season, or at least more catchy.

Extending from Cairo, ILL.,, at the
mouth. of the Ohio river, to the Gulf
Of Mexico, Is the main trunk of the
Mississippi river. Into his main
sewer are led the waters from $4,000
miles Of tributary rivers, bearing the
floods from thirty-one states and a
part of Canada.
The states of Illinois. Missouri, Ar
kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
this main body of the river and parts
OF these states comprise the 10000 600
acres that constitute the ailuviai VAL
ley of the Mississippi river. This all
luvlal region Is about 700 miles in
length, extending from just below st.
Louis, Mo-, to the Gulf OF Mexico, and
averages from forty to sixty miles In
width. Through this alluvtal valley
the channel of the great river mean
ders in a tortuous course with z total
length Of 1905 miles, a depth of from
so to 100 feet. and widths varying from
one to two miles between banks. When
a flood. like the n that is coming
down, is poured into this lower river
precipitately, because of the rapid
run-of above due to advanced meth
DDS of drainage now in effect through
out the thirty -one states comprising
the drainage basin, the natural banks
are overfiowed by the water and 1t
must be held within the channel by
earth entertainments or leveeS.
These levees now hold back the riv-
err throughout its entire length. from
Illinois and Missouri to below New
Orleans. They are by no NEAR com
piete, although they have been con
structed to their present height and
cross section at a cost of about $780,

furnished by the lands protected and
o~ne-third by the national government.
If they were nov completed to the
height and cross section prescribed by
the United States army engineers
when the problem of food prevention
was undertaken, there would be no
fear of these floods in this lower re-
gion, but 232,000.000 cubic yards of
earth must be put in place before
they viii be completed according to
the plans of the Mississippi River
Commission of Engineers. I mention
this because so many people, without
knowing the facts, are prone to con-
denim the plan for controlling the
floods by levees as a failure. We might
just as well condemn the Panama
canal as a failure If we tried to pass
ships through it with 232, 900, 600 cubic
yards of earth still to be removed
from Culebra cut. The plan to hold
the flood waters in the main channel
by Ievees Is not only the best method
OF solving the problem, but it is also
the cheapest and most practical.
1t Is estimated by the Mississipni
River Commission that the entire
levee system can be completed for
sos, 1000, 900. and that for about $50.

Much has been spoken and written
of late concerning flood prevention in
this part of the river by the construc-
ton of reservoirs at the headwaters
of the numerous tributaries, but IL
anyone will take the trouble to make
a few simple calculations, they will
soon realize how utterly impractical
this is, however strongly 1t may an
peal to them On first thought.
A volume of water is now passing
Memphis at the rate Of $500, 900 c1Ihic
feet per second, and it will continre
to pass at this rate during thu nayf
thirty days. This means $3.50 Oo. Don
cubic feet in an hour; 1913. 100000 0Q0
in aeday, 5,961, 500, 600, 600 in thirty
days! There are 27,918,40 square feet
to the square mile. If we should at
tempt to hold Just half of the Hood in
reservoirs, 1t would require 107 Of
them of 100, square miles each, with
water ten feet deep. The Roosevelt

Canadian What for Ianan

Consular and Trade Reports: While
the Panama canal opening has been
anticipated with interest as the means
of making Vancouver a grain shipping
port, Japan has secured the first large
shipment of wheat from this place,
which is the fo%rerunner Of a new
phase of Vancouver development.
The Japanese steamer Fukoko Maru
Is loading $500 IONS of sacked wheat
from Alberta for Yokohama for dis
tribution to different parts of Japan.
Owing to the decreased Australian
wheat crop. it has been necessary for
Japan to look for a temporary supply,
which is being bought from western
Canada through Vancouver.
While grain shipments have been
shipped from this port to Mexico and
the Philippine Islands, this is practi-
cally the first large shipment leaving
Vancouver. The wheat all came from
Alberta over the Canadian Pacific rail-
way in. bulk and was sacked in the
city prior to loading. 1t Is expected
that several vessels will call here be-
fore this demand is supplied, and the
trade once established may become
permanent.
