The Governor on January I.

We suspect that somebody has made mistake in looking at the current calendar We understand that bets have been offered that Gegernor Hunt will be after January It appears that this is trick bet attempted trick bet in which the bet tor is relying upon the ignorance of those who sup pose that the of all state officers minous with numbered years That is the popu- lar impression and it is generally wrong but this year it happens to be right.
 We have learned that there is a belief that the present term of the governor will expire until January 4. The Constitution however fixes the date of expiration first Monday of January after the election. The first Monday of next January will fall January l. In any circumstances Governor Hunt will be governor until sometime that day but unless he wins the gubernatoriaI contest he will not be governor all of that day or any time after the inauguration of Mir. Campbell which must take place that day
 We imagine that the bettor who believed that the governors term would not expire until January [. made the mistake of consulting the calendar of the present year We think know just how he did 1t, he had before him a calendar from which the No vember leaf had been torn. He lifted it and was confronted by December whose first Monday does actually fall on the 4th

 This is something that is likely to happen any year and every year. It happened along Salt river almost annually until after the building of the Roose welt Dam and since then floods have damaged many farms below the city Many farmers have been ruined In entire farms have been occupied by the changing river channel the labor and the savings of years have vanished within a week

Of course much large sums have been spent and very properly so in trying to hold the cratic Missouri within we'll defined banks
 In all parts of the country especially where the soil is light and porous millions of property are de- stroyed annually by such floods against which pro- vision could be made a small part of the cost in- cured by the government annually in trying to convert winding and shallow creeks into navigable streams
 Money for that purpose is wasted without the slightest hope of any return unless in the shape of votes for congressman who succeed in bringing home their share of contents of the pork barrel few thousand dollars spent judiciously along the Gna strengthening its banks in the vicinity of reclaimed and cultivated lands would save many thousands of dollars to farmers, the and the nation.
