The High Water of 1920.

The stage of high water in Rec
river at Colfax this year on Sun.
day, May 80, reached its maxi
mum height, and after remain
ing stationary about two days
began to fall on June l and 2.
It's flood tide was about the same
as that in 1892, which was about
2@ feet below the great high
water of 1908, the highest water
of which we have any record in
Red river.
The damage to crops in Grant
parish, in ward six and in the
vest end of ward two this year
has been very great. and the ma
jority of the people in those Sec
tions will have to be supplied
seed to replant if they make any
crops at all this season..
Those of US who live at Colfax
and on the $4,000 or 40, 900 acres
Of high land on Red river in ware
one can hardly appreciate the
condition of hundreds of families
north and south of us who have
had all their crops drowned out.
We are most fortunate in being
situated on the highest land on
Red river, which even in 1905
was a foot above overflow, and
needs no levee to protect us like
they are obliged to have at AL.
exandria and other places.

the money spent on them. I
would like to call the attention of
the police jury to the condition
OF the Claiborne road in ward 2.
The road is in bad shape and in
many places and the culyerts
are nuisance. They were built
OF scraps and junk and are all in
bad condition, most Of them
crushed in and full of holes.
Some you have to go around and
jump the ditch. The contractor
is Mr.. H. S. Darlington. He
must have gone fishing as there
hasn't been any work done on
the road for many months.

road up to the specification. You

An Inopportune Time for Strikes.

An Inopportune Time for Strikes.
The carpenters of New Or
leans, who have been receiving
the splendid wage of Is cents an
hour for some time, decided tc
go on a strike for higher wages
this week, and have tied up prac-
tically all the building enterprises
Of that great city, and are de-
handing a dollar an hour before
they will return to work.
This action is unjustified from
any angle you may view it. In
the first place the wages they
were receiving were ample to
meet all the necessities and most
of the Injuries Of life in these
days Of the high cost of living.
Then, as everybody knows, the
high cost of living Is now on the
down grade, and all wage work
ers who are receiving honest pay
for a days labor can now well
afford to put in an honest days
work in return for 1T. This
would be but common foresight,
and will serve to keep wages at
the present standard for long
time to come.
In the next place, it is hurtful
and of great injury to all persons
concerned. T e contractors,
owing to the long cessation Of
building operations during the
world war, have been able of late
to obtain a great many contracts
at liberal prices, and they are
DESTROYS of rushing their build
ing operations so as to save for
feits from delay. and hold to and
feel safe in others they desire to i
enter into later along.
Proprietors and stockholders
in enterprises desire to see oper-
atoms in progress on the adven-
lures in which they have theil
money invested, and are yer, |
timid and afraid of having it tieo |
up. The bank and money lend |
ers are also keenly interested in
all operations, and their attitude |
in these matters affects every
man. whether he be a laborer fol

to live on the interest or earning

mineral resources with huge zinc
mines and profitable coal mines, the
people Of the state in general know
very little Of her mineral resources

Wilton and found to be unsuitable
for that purpose has been remodeled
into a handsome Exhibit Building
where the Mineral Displays will be
shown. Under the direction Of Fred
NJ. Bullard these displays are al
ready beginning to arrive.
Particularly interesting to the
visitor to this building will be the
miniature working models of the
mines and other mineral interests OF
the state. There will be tiny models
of coal mines showing the workings
of the shafts. models of the big zinc |
mines the state reproduced on an in |
scale and oil drilling out |
fits. And the oil drillers will not |
get a dry hole" either. Enough of |
the real Oklahoma fluid will be used
in the miniature drilling operations
to show that Oklahoma oil wells are
producers instead of Clusters

libits to be shown here a perma-
lent exhibit that can remain in the
building the year round as an in
eresting showing of the states re- +
ources in this line. If this is done
he exhibit will be added to from
ime to time and will make a fea
ure display that visitors to Musko-
ee can inspect at any time Sam
