National Rivers and Harbors
Cof1uresS.

| According to reports Ef the De
partment of Agriculture, the value
Of farm products for the present year
will run between nine and ten bill
lion dollars. AS the carriage of
these foodstuffs to market. and the
return of the manufactured products
for which they will be exchanged,
will tax the ability of the railroads
to the limit, causing car shortage, ter
mlnal congestion and Vexatious de-
| lays, the improvement of the rivers
of the continental United States
| becomes at once one of the most Sc
rious problems with which the gov
eminent has to deal.
| Just what should be done toward a
solution of this fundamental eco
noml1o problem will be one of the
things which the tenth annual con-
vention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, which meets in
Washington Dec. 3, and next, will
endeaVor to show.
But how best to make the rivers do
their share of transportation is not
the only question that will occupy the
time of the congress; there are other
and equally vital subjects that will
be considered during it's three days
session. For diversity of subjects
and the cosmopolitan character Of
those who will address the delegates,
the meeting of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress next month
gives promise of far exceeding any
previous convention in the history of
the organization.

Anti-Liquor Forces Plan Campaign.
The anti-liquor forces will urge the
passage OF four bills at the session
OF the Louisiana general assembly in
1914. They are:
Prohibiting the shipment of liquor
into dry territory, under the provi-
s1ons of the Webb bill of the feder-
al congress.
Prohibiting tho sale OF all malt Ii |
quors, including near beer, in dry
territory.
Regulating the sale of liquor by |
druggists for medicinal purposes and |
putting the responsibility for viola |
t1ons OF She law more directly on |
prescribing liquor.
Declaring the blind tiger nuisaacel
and giving the authorities the right |
OF search and confiscation.
Announcement of the prohibition |
program was made at a public mass
meeting in Shreveport held under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League.
Only the nature Of the proposed |
anti-liquor legislation was given out.
The bills themselves have been pre-
pared and were formally adopted at |
a state convention of the Ants
loon League held at Alexandria Tues
and Wednesday. They constitute the
entire prohibition program Neither
statewide prohibition nor the con-
gressional unit will be asked for.

HErCH HETCHY.

a bill to grant the city Of San Fran
cisco h right to nood a portion of
h Hetch Hetchy valley in order to
obtain a water supply has passed the
hO6se and is receiving favorable con-
sideration in the senate. No single
subject pertaining to the use Of a par,
OF h public domain has caused more
controversy than this. 1t is charged
that the people who are pushing this
bill are actuated by selfish greed. that
they propose to despoil one Of the
most beautiful parks on the continent
Tor commercial purposes, and a lot
OF other charges are laid at their door.
1t happens. however, that several peo-
pie who cannot we'll be accused of in
difference to the preservation Of the
public property and the protection Of
beauty spots nave advocated the
granting Of this privilege. Among
these are Clifford Pinchot, former
chief forester. and Chief Forester
Graves. now in charge Of the forest
bureau. \ number of other prominent
men who have at all times worked
vigorously for the conservation Of the
beauty Of the country as we'll as of
its other assets take the same stand.
The advocates of the plan point out
that only a small part Of the valley
is to be Hooded for reservoir purposes,
and that the lake thus created will
be az attractive a feature as any 9TH
or in the valley. If the grant is made
the city will construct a roadway
through that part Of the valley and
around the lake land make accessible
a natural feature which can now be
seen by but few. 1t seems that the
opinion Of such men as have been
named are entitled to respectful at.
tention, and that those who proclaim
loudly that the whole project i. a
steal have not quite proven their case.
And if it is true, as stated, that the
thing that interests San Francisco
quite as much as the water supply
Is the power to be developed, we are
not aware that there is any crime
in that. II a great communit.. can
