In Concentration of Capt John Smith

Monhegan, that rockiest of islands
situated off the Maine coast, is to be
the object Of unwonted attention when
the year 1914 rolls around. A cele-
bration is to be held there in COM
memoration of the time when Capt.
John Smith, the diseoyerer of Virginia
and one of the hardest of the Eng
lish mariners of the 18th century,
made call at Monhegan and anchor
ed his vessel in the shelter of the
great rocks of that port. This was
in 1914 and there was not even the
sign of a settlement.

ROAD i~4aI>ing Machine.>

A new machine for making roads
navigabe following heavy rail- Of
snow has been invented and patented
by Jas l. Brophy. Of BerRland, Mich.
MIR. Broyhy has started negotiations
with L Charboaneau. Of Hurley, for
the manufacture of the machine and it
is expected that ready sale will be
found for tins new road making ma
chine in this country Of heavy snow.
The principle Of this new machine is
that instead Of pushing or throwing
the snow to one side as does an ordi-
nary or rotary plow it crushes 1t. Two
large. heavy wheels set eight feet
apart are driven over the snow, crush
ing it in such manner that good
road for all kinds Of traffic is the re-
suit. These wheels are ten feet in da-
meter and the weight Of the machine
is four and one-half tons. 1t is claimed
that regardless of the depth Of the
snow the machine can be used. The
motive power is a gasoline engine, and
it Is thought that automobile users will
welcome this machine as roaC max
ing apparatus, It beng especially re-
commended to remedy the snow pro-
blem on streets and roads used by auto
drivers.

Committed Suicide

Coroner Gutekunst went to Saxon
last Saturday and brought down the
remains of Joe Lareau, a lumberjack,
who had committed suiclie. As far as
could be learned the deceased had no
relatives and little was known of him
at Saxon. He had been at the camp
where he intended to work only a
short time and later his body was found
hanging from tree. He is supposed
to have climbed an inclining tree. tied
a telephone wire around his neck and
then jumped off. The remains were in
tered in the local cemetery. The place
where Lareau took his life was at one

HOW DAMS HELP.

The American Review Of Reviews:
The beginnings that have been made
in Minnesota show that head-water
dams can help In no small degree. This
system of dams and storage basins has
been constructed to the extent of about
10 or Is per cent. of the project as
originally laid out. Yet even the ex-
listing dams impound enough water to
lessen perceptibly the spring floods in
the upper river and to add valuably to
the supply for water power and naViga'
ton in the summer time. The Mime
sofa dam system should be pressed to
completion There would result-in
greatly heightened measure-these
two benefits: the lessening Of floods
in spring, and the increase of volume
in summer The problem of impound.
ing water in the upper Missouri Val
ley will be more difficult on account
of attitudes and topography. But doubt
less a good deal can be done at the
head-waters of the Missouri and its
larger tributaries.
The problem of the Ohio Valley has
had a great deal of study, and large
sums are in process of expenditure to
improve navigation. But probably a
good deal more can be done to retard
the discharge Of water from the Ale
ghany, Monongahela, and some other
of the streams which form and feed
the Ohio. Unfortunately it does not
seem possible to do very much for the
level valleys of streams like the Mia
mi, Scioto, White River, and others in
Ohio and Indiana. Typographical con-
ditions would initiate against large
storage reservoirs. There might, how
ever, be certain notifications of main
channels that would greatly lessen
the danger of foods at such points as
Columbus, GAINESVILLE, Dayton, Hamil-
ton, and Indianapolis.
1t is manifest that most of the meas
ures which could serve to protect the
people of the more northern tributary
valleys would in equal measure serve
to protect the people of the lower Mis-
sissippi There are no means by which
we can change climatic conditions. or
alter the general fact that there is al
ways a tremendous melting of accumu-

GET TOGETHER.

1.-THE greatest fault Of the Southern
people is their lack of social and busl-
ness unity" says the Picayune, and is
a statement to which no strings are
tied 1t is absolutely true. The lack
of social unity is undoubtedly due to
the sharply drawn lines of caste per-
hans newhere in North America so
marked as in the land Of Dixie. How
ever, not to dwell at this time on that
point, although the lack of socialunity,
doubtless, has much to do with the
lack of business unity, it is certain
that dlsunion and suspicion OF every
body else and everybody else's motives
cause every suggestion and enterprise
to 20 lame, if not Gripping it alto
gether.
If ever a people or section needed
the strength and inspiration that coop
Grafton unquestionedly gives, it is this
one, the struggling Southland. But in.
stead, we find the contrary, except in
isolated instances, and although the
success of these instances are encour-
aging enough to inspire emulation, it
fails of that result.
Why? Why? One who could an
swer with authority and entire cor
rectness, would have solved great
psychical problem. But to mention
for. encouragement, there is a get-to-
gether feeling manifesting itself in
southwest Louisiana A strong effort
is making to unite its people in
common impulse to act and work to,
gether.
Coming nearer home, is it not posi-
BILE for all of us to get together? When
anything is suggested or started, even
if it is not exactly according to ones
own plan should one not support it
seeing the good in it, helping to elimi
nate the bad, and working together
for actual accomplishment? Is this
not better than hinderings holding
back, dragging down? To stop almos
any public enterprise, enough time
and effort are wasted, which if con
verified into money-making labor II
ones private business would pay one!
tax or quota ten times over. This
may be observed again and again.
When one cannot conscientiousl!
help, he will yet often find it possible
conscientiously not to hinder.

lated snow and a heavy average rain
fall in the upper Mississippi Valley
during the months of February, March,
and April. Vast areas of dense forests
would, of course, help to keep spring
foods from moving in such swift, tor
rental masses. Great artificial basins
and reservoirs might hold back por'
ton of the water for safe discharge in
the dry months. Nothing can be done
that will obviate the necessity, hoWeV-
er, for a thorough treatment of the
Mississippi River itself, particularly
from New Orleans to st. Louis. Sena
tor Newlands, of Nevada, who has
earned the right to be considered as
one of our most broad-minded states
men, tried in the last session of Con
gress to secure legislation authorizing
national commission to investigate
the whole subject of water control
drainage, protection against floods,ant
the like. 1t is impossible to believ
that some decisive steps will not b.
taken by Congress in the present extr
session.

FROM JAIL.

Acknowledgement Pleasant gives the
opinion that Mr.. Bruner Is entitled to
receive his salary as commissioner Of
agriculture and immigration while
serving his jail sentence. 1t is anon
alous however and opposed to the prin-
ciples of good government that his sub
ordinates should go to Jail to receive
their instructions. But no sense of the
fitness of things-or the unfitness of
other things-will probably affect Mr..
Bruner to such an extent as make him
let go voluntarily his strangle-hold
on his job.
Clearly there should be legal provis.
ion made and provided to render an
Office vacant automatically in such
cases.

PUT A VALUE ON YOUR TIME AND
TEAM.

When the people can be made to I'M
derstand that it actually costs more in
time and money to travel over a poor
road than it does to travel over good
one, they will be less inclined to be-
grudge the expense of good roads, and
what is more important still, will be
willing and anxious to put the business
of road making into the hands OF in
telligent men who understand the bus
mess. Poor roads are the expensive
things that curse a country district
Alexandria Democrat.
1t must therefore that bad roads
exist because too many country peo'
pie put no value on their time, and
fail to observe that bad roads wear out
their teams and vehicles. ;
