There is a question Of as vital i'm

none that rank and file know as lit

1t is useless to discuss tariff and

tons, if your lands are to be covered
by water. When beyond the con-
troll of man, water is the most disas-

mighty father of rivers is the Ma
tons drainage ditch and carries the
water from thirty-one states and part
Of the Dominion of Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico. In its mad rush for
that great reservoir, the waters of
the Mississippi throughout the ages
of the past have been accustomed to
spreading out and crossing the lands
of this fertile Valley. Since the set

impending peril. And to prevent
these oft recurring overflows, so ia
tai to life and property, levees were
constructed along the banks Of the
Mississippi river to confine the flood
waters of that great stream to a
fixed channel that it might pass free
ly to the Gulf, while it held the
country harmless. For that purpose
levees have been constructed for the
protection of Louisiana. 1853 miles
of levee have been built of which
1854 miles are in Arkansas but built
and maintained by Louisiana. There
are in our district (The Atchafalaya)

FOE FEDERAL TROOPS
Contends That They Are Needed to
Protect Occur d'Alene Mines
Against L w. W. from Montana

PORTLAND-Colon Charles Dent
Ter, commanding the district embrac-
ing Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Wash
ington an dOregon has received a re-
quest frhm Governor Alexander of
Idaho, asking that troops be sent to
hte Occur d'Alene district to protect
the metal mines where they are min
ing products for government use. He
expressed a fear that Industrial
Workers of the World disturbances
would spread there from Montana.
Colonel Dentler said Saturday night
that troops would not be sent unless
there appeared to be more of a need
for them than the governors telegram
indicates. He was inclined to believe,
on the strength of information re-
celved Saturday night, that the pros
pect OF any disturbance was not great
and that the local authorities should
be able to handle the situation with
out difficulty.

I'VE jumped over at exactly z

somewhat by the shuttle and bang of
our shells tearing up Fritze's barbed-
wire.

hollered let's CO. And we went.

up a little fox-terrier dog. He APP
peared from nowhere and adopted my
heels as a. good pair to follow. He
frisked and barked and leaped around
me as though he had found an old
friend. He seemed to know just when
to drop into shell-holes. When we
reached our objective and captured
the remaining Germans, the dog was
still there, shifting around dug-outs,
exploring sheli-holes and running up
and down the old trench. A dog lucky
as that one is worth keeping; he's our
company mascot now.
Il put hands on one Prussian
guardsman myself. The gentleman
has a brother in San Francisco, Cal,
and he couldn't get over his surprise
at finding Americans in the line in
Canadian uniforms.
Most of the Fritzies hate to be cap
tured by Canadians because our fell
lows grab everything they can move
as souvenirs. They bring back junk
of all kinds-helmets, German coin,
revolvers, knives and even pants-but-
tons. Fritz says the Canadians and |
Americans are fighting for souvenirs |
and it looks like it when we line up |
