Frssssish Conditions In Atct1afaiaya
River.

one Of the most freakish condi-
tions that has been observed in
years now exists in the Atchafalaya
river, according to Capt. g. O. sher-
rill, head Of the United States en-
gineers' office at New Orleans. To
one who does not stop to study the
causes Of the queer condition, It
seems almost a reputation of the
fundamental principle that water
seeks its level
At the head of the river, iaeaF
where it Joins the MISSISSIPPI and
Red rivers, the water is low, reach
lug barely to the base of the leVees.
Further down TT stream, at Mel
viile and south IL that town, the
level of the WateN is in close prox-
unity to t(e top Of the leyees, Civ
ing practically the same stage as ex-
listed during the high waters 1919.
The flood has caused much concern,
and has made emergency work neces-
Sary at various points.
Capt. Sheriff. believes the high Wa
ter level at Melville is caused by
the choking of the rivers bed with
silt during the 1912 flood. In this
way the bed Of the stream has been
raised.

HOUSE COMMITTEES.

The state bankers won out in the
contention for the Craftsmanship of
the house committee on banks and
banking when Speaker Brown today
appointed w. C. Tulloss of Franklin
county at the head of the committee.
Tulloss is a state banker in the town
of Rantoul.
Since the committee appointments
have been under consideration there
has been a lively war between the
state and national bankers -or the
head of the banking committee.
Brown smiled on the claims of the
state bankers and appointed one of
their members to head the committee.
Hendricks of Rawlins and Chase of
Jackson were both considered in con-
nection with the appointment. It is
claimed. but neither was an aggressive
candidate and the place went to the
Franklin county man.
