NO ASSISTANCE
ASKED FROM REA
McReynolds
Declines Proffered Aid of
Railroad Head

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Offe-s
Of President Rea, Of the Pennsylvan.
ia Railroad to assist the Department
Of Justice in litigation concerning
the control Of his company over the
Norfolk and Western Railroad will
spurned by the Attorney General
When President Rea's recent utter,
ances, in which he declared a will
ingness to help the Department Of
Justice in any investigation of the
Pennsylvania's affairs, were report
ed to Attorney General Metropolis,
Mr.. McReynolds merely smiled.
The Attorney General has taken
the stand that the Department Of
Justice is able to transact its own
business without outside help. 1--WE
believe the Pennsylvania Railroad
actively controls the Norfolk and
Western and that the latter road is
a competitive line" said the Attorney
General. An Investigation to show
that this is being done in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law will soon
be started, it IS said.

The Missouri River
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old siwash.s

"HE Missouri River is a mulliga-
tawnev colored stream which
\ rises in Montana and intests seven
states before it finally joins the Mis-
sissippi, which loses all It's morals
after meeting it and becomes nomadlc
river of highly irregular habits.
The Missouri is almost 5000 miles
long, and it is generally about half a
mile wide. It is composed OF sandbars,
snags and water in equal parts. 1t IS
navigable as far as Omaha by steam
boats, and above that by catfish, canoes
and large cottonwood trees.
The Missouri river is now chiefly used
as a boundary line and IS almost a total
failure in this respect. This is because
it has no fixed place of residence. The
Missouri is always moving around from
township to township. 1t Is more rest
less than a flat hunting woman IN a
large city. 1t is one of the few rivers IN
the world which not only drinks but eats.
The Missouri lives on banks and corn
fields. 1t is harder on banks than care
less cashiers. It is forever siding up to
a nice clay bank and eating about three
miles of it. After it has taken few
mouthfuls of bank it begins on the corn
fields back of it. The Missouri can eat
a 100 acre corn field in week, and
show no i'll effects-that is, it will look
no worse than before. But the cornfield
will.
As the Missouri grazes upon the
country like a COW, it moves rapidly
from place to place, leaving its neglected
and deserted bed behind. The govern
ment has attempted to improve the river
by fixing lights on its banks and remOy-
ing the snags, but as soon as one section
is improved the Missouri moves out and
flows happily through forest ten miles
away, acquiring several thousand brand
new snags. If Iowa and Nebraska move
