The levee system on the Mississippi River from Cairo to the Gulf of Mex ico was intended to protect the cul.i- vated lands adjacent to the river This system has resulted in building up the bed of the river from year to year by reason of the fact that all of he tributary streams running into the Mississippi River have greater velocity, and consequently sediment brought into the main river. whose current is slower, is deposited ia the river between Cairo and the Gulf This is the main cause of the flood line going higher each year with a given rainfall.
 Now. the most practical and cheap est remedy for this Is to make a shorter outlet to the sea for this vast volume of silt bearing water. and this outlet is via the Atchafalaya River, the source of which is near the mouth of the Red River where 1t empties into the Mississippi. The Atchafalaya River runs straight to the tidewater of the Gulf, a distance of about 100 miles, whereas, via the Mississippi River the distance from the mouth of the Red River to the Gulf is 300 miles. The fall of the Mississippi River from the mouth of the Red River to the Gulf is about oae-tenth of foot per mile; of the Atchafalaya about three tenths of a foot to the

FOUND GEM AFTER 80 YEARS
Diamond Which Cost 500 Then Is
Valued at $500 Now.

BROCKTON, Mass. Dec. 2s.--A
diamond lost more than thirty years
ago in her former homestead in Har-
wichport, Mass, was recently found
in the toe Of an old shoe buried in
the yard and returned to its owner
Mrs William +. Wilson of BrocktoY.
The stone is today worth twice as
much as ii was at the time IL disap-
pCarcd, being now valued at $500.
When Mrs. Wilson lost the diamond
all search was unavailing and she
gave up hope of recovering it, She
moved from Harwichport to Brock
ton and forgot about the diamond.
Robert Nash. who now occupies the
homestead formerly owned by Mrs.
Wilson, found in the garden an old
shoe. In it he found the diamond,
whose loss had been mystery for
more than generation. He at once
thot of the former occupants of the
house and communicated with Mrs.
Wilson, who identified the gem.

DON'T TAX THE BALL CLUBS
The proposal to levy a further tax on
the baseball clubs by taxing their re-
ceipts will not find favor with the
fans. They know that such tax
will discourage the strengthening of
the teams, which can be done only at
great expense. And we want the
teams strengthened. They need it,
especially the Cubs. The same prin-
cipIe applies to the proposal to tax
other enterprises. Besides taking
from individuals what properly be-
longs to them, such taxes will tend
to further promote a community Of
liars. The biggest liar will pay the
least taxes.
If more revenue is required, why
not increase taxes on vacant lots and
poorly-improved lots? Tax them as
much as if they were properly i'm
proved. They owe their value to the
growth and progress of the com
munity and they benefit no one, least
of all the owners. 1t is safe to say
there isn't one vacant lot owner in
a hundred who would not be better
off if his money were invested in a
mortgage or a bond. A, tax on va
cant lots has the further advantage
of being easily collected, and the
amount is easily ascertained.
Besides, to increase taxes on va
cant lots will not discourage enter
prise nor take anything from the
owners which the people have not
created. The very opposite is true
Of taxes on industry. The cOmmU-

work of the board of engineers en-
gagged in investigating the different
inland waterways of Florida and
stated that he had examined the rec
ord, but could find no place where
the canal company had placed a def
mite price on the canal
Florida newspapers have carried
various articles stating that the canal
had been offered to the United States
for prices ranging from 1900, 900 to
s1o.00o.0 900 and at several meetings in
Miami the statement has been made
that the canal was priced at s5,o00,-
900. But from Congressman Sears
letter it appears that so far as the
United States is concerned, no price
has ever been mentioned.
When the canal matter was brought
up several months ago it was stated
that the board of engineers had been
appointed by the government to de-
eide whether the East Coast canal
would be routed via the st. Johns
river route or whether the govern
ment should purchase the East Coast
canal and place it in navigable condi-
ton. 1t appears that the board of
engineers was appointed merely to
make recommendation as TO wheth-
er TO take either route and if so.
which one. So far as the purchase
of the East Coast canal by the gov.
eminent is concerned, it is a question
that has not been brought directly
to the government, according to the
record. The letter from Mr.. Sears
apparently puts an end to the dis.
cussion on What is the price they
have asked for the canal?"
