THE HISTORIC EUPHRATES
Civilization SpraBg from it's Bnnks md
Empires from it's Plain.

| The Euphrates is the largest river in
western Asia. and civilization is reputcd
to have come into being upon its banks
| For six thousand years at least empires
have risen and fallen on it's plain. con-
duering armies have arched to battle
and hundred cities have come mp out
Of the earth and fallen into obliteratc
ruin again.
| Describing this gr,at river as it runs
its seward course to-day. the National
Geographic society, whose headquarters
are in Washington, D. G.. says in a state
ment given to the press:
The Euphrates lays a strong claim,
to the honor of being the most historic
river on earth, certain it is that in
the region it drains. along with its twin
sister. the Tigris. man first energies from
behind that impenetrable curtain which
divides the known from the unknown
past
! From then henceforth civilization have
risen and fallen nations have come and
gone, cities of rare beauty have raised
their proud heads above the plain only
! to pass on into obliterate ruin.
THE Euphrdtes rises in two arms, flow
ing parallel to one another on the north
valleys into which pour nnumerable small
streams from the high Armenian plateau.
The northernmost Of the two branches
Is the shortest, but it is generally regard
ed as the real source of the river. 1t lies
to the north Of Erezum, while the longer
branch passes 1t to the south.
The two branches are divided by the
wild mountain district OF Dersim. y
After uniting. they form the Euphrates
proper, which boldly breaks it's way
| through the mountains by zgzag course
that carries it now TO the right and now
to the left Now it flows for 30 miles
a. right angles to it's general course. then
6O miles parallel to il; and then 80 miles
at right angles again. as though it were
headed for the Mediterranean Sea. Then
1t winds to the south for 50 miles
Here it takes up its general trend TO
the southeast and with innumerabe sharp
windinss and bends, but with only a few
broad curves, it heads its way to the
sea. The air line distance of the remot-
est spring of the Euphrates from the sea
is only 500 miles, and yet its waters must
travel 1870 before they reach he sea.
I'm the last 1909 miles of its course the
Euphrates is slow and sluggish. wander
Ing all over the land when it has oppor-
tunity, making that which II touches a
marsh and that which it cannot reach a
desert.
| Its fall during the last 100 miles is
only 10 inches to the mile and it broadens
out so much that while ii contains enough
water TO float the greatest battleship. II
Is SO shallow that at places a swimmer
cannot float in IT,
The river promises to rise this year al
time exactly suited to the needs of the

action on the part of the fire depart ment
whose work was somewhat hampered BY
the severe cold, confined the blaze within
the kiln, and in fact kept the damage
to the lumber on two of the five trucks
that were in the kiln.
There Is space in tho kiln for six cars
or trucks and there were five there loaded
with Shocks which are the small
boards used in the manufa cture of the
boxes. The fire started between the first
and second trucks near the north end
of the shed II had evidently been
smolderng for some time before it was
discovered by Waterman. for when the
doors We're opened there was dense
smoke and some blaze. which proved
persistent. The fire department was soon
on the scene and five lines of pipe were
laid, ESQ feet of hose being used in all
The five lines were kept busy for over

injured In handling. There Is ample in
surance to cover tho damage.
