A THOUGH the Father Of Waters"
"A has several mouths, none of them
provided a satisfactory channel for

ers which carry millions of tons Of

ing a recent year, was 15,728,144
punches of %bananas) from the ports Of
the world to and from the port of
New Orleans.
The weStern-most one Of these
mouths is known as Southwest pass.
1t is about 10 miles long, OF irregular
width, had a tidal variation of from
16 to % inches, was Influenced by
foods and INSTRUCTED by a submerged
sand-bar over which the water was
only nine feet deep.
Notwithstanding these handicaps.
army engineers considered it the best
route and set about to force the river
to run as they thought it should.
They planned to dig and build a chan
mel 1000 feet wide and 35-feet deep
through this pass, so that the biggest
ships could steam right up the river
and anchor off New Orleans.
They dredged the head of the pass
for 81 miles to give it the necessary
width, closed a number of outlets to
conserve the flow, built "sills" to pre-
vent the outlets to the river above
the mouth from en%larging; dredged
away the sand-bar (remoying the
equivalent of 35,0o0.O0O wagon loads
Of sand and mud, constructed ~jetties
more than 10000 feet long to protect
this dredged channel and built spur
bikes as necessary.
Southwest pass now satisfactorily
performs the work which falls to the
lot of the official mouth Of Americas
greatest river.

THE FATHER OF WATERS

COUNTING the longest branch as
~ a part of it, the Mississippi is
the longest river in the world. Her
nando de Soto lake and not Lake
Itasca, as commonly supposed, is nov
considered by some authorities as Its
place of beginning.
There is a difference of 1,470 feet
between the elevations of its mouth
and Of its head and during its journey
from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mex
leo the temperature depending upon
the season, sometimes varies as much
as $50 degrees.
Its waters wash the soils of ten
Louisiana, the volume of Its flow is
estimated to exceed 100000 gal
Ions per second.
The Wisconsin, Des Moines, ILL.,
nois, Missouri, Ohio, White, Arkansas
and Red river systems, as well as a
large number of "lesser lights" with
their myriads of tributaries, flow into
1t. These rivers carry drainage from
% of the 4S states. This tremendous
watershed has an area of 100000
square miles or 41% Of the entire
United States.
The Mississippi is navlgable for al
most its entire length or from st. Paul
to the Gulf.
Large numbers Of passengers are
transported between local points and
tremendous quantities of freight-prin-
cipally grain, cotton, live stock. coal.
lumber, logs, provisions, stone, gravel
and sand are carried upon its sur
face. The river freight at the port

ginia, fiankeu on the east by a lii
of mountains known as the Massa-
nuttons and on the west by the main
chain of the Blue Ridge range, is h
quaint, oldish town of Luray.
Ten miles west is Cave Hill, under
which is one Of our great natural
curiosities-the Luray Caverns, to
which have come to wonder, study and
admire, scientists, explorers and tour
lists from every quarter.
Here the mysterious workings of
nature have produced a veritable I'M
derground fairy palace, with miles of
passageways lined with an Infinite
variety Of curious, gigantic and won
derful formations. Almost every
object of nature seems to be repro
duced with surprising reality. The in
descrlbably fantastic groupings of
the weird and grotesque formations.
the beauty and the coloring of the
titanic tapestry effects and the trans
lucent and symmetrical arrangement
appear to be the handlwork of nature
In a playful mood.
One chamber measures almost 400
feet In length by 125 feet in width.
Others possess lofty, arched and elab-
orately ornamented domes. A most
marvellous formation bears strong re-
semblance to a gigantic pipe-organ.

the journey through it an entirely new

Bill for Sesqui Building


Senator Bright, of Cape May, intro
duced in the Senate a bill authorizing
the appropriation of $4,000 for a New
Jersey building at the exposition at
Philadelphia in 1926 TO commemorate
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the signing of the Declaration
Of Independence.
Under a bill presented by Senator
Allen. of Salem, the Full Crew" act
would be repealed. Under the present
New Jersey law Jurisdiction over the
number of men to a crew on railroad
trains is vested In the Public Utility
Commission. but because of a peculiar
section in the act the excess men can
not be disturbed except upon specific
order by the Utility Commission after
complaint and hearing.
Under the bill presented by Senator
Allen it is provided that the existing
act, passed in 1917, be repealed and
that there be enacted in its place a
law placing complete jurisdiction over
all crews on trains in the Utility Com
mission with authority to issue orders
dealing with the number Of men 1t may
deem necessary from time to time to
mar trains.
The original Full Crew" act was
passed In this State in 1913 and since
that time the railroads claim to have
spent S 5,500,O00 in wages for excess
men on trains, men who have not con-
tributed to either safety Or efficiency
of operation. Last year alone the ex-
cess crews cost the roads operating In
this State S630,000.
J. Spencer Smith. of Tenafly, and
Robert f. Engle, of Beach Haven, were
renamed by the governor as members
of the State Board Of Commerce and
Navigation.
In the present temper of the Senate,
il can easily be seer how the effort Of
Governor Edwards to fill this place
will create an eruption that may cause
the adjournment of the Legislature for
weeks. This is one place upon which
the Republicans will insist upon a sat
isfactory nomination, and in these days
1t Is rather difficult to tell just what
qualifications will be Insisted upon.
Altogether the resignation of Com
missioner Treacy is cooked upon as
one Of the important happenings Of
the present session.

that it was not, but that he and other

Referring to editorial articles on
recognition in "The Washington Post"
and The New YORK Tribune, which have
been widely reprinted here, Obregon
said that the Mexican government
would not alter It's policies, whether it
vas recognized or not. He added that
if Spaniards suffered most from the
agrarian law, this was due to the fact
that they are the biggest foreign land
owners, and not because Of any Mexi-
can animosity toward Spain.
The President said that Americans
and others would all be treated alike in
the administration Of the law. To prove
that the agrarian problem WIS not
caused by the revolution, Obregon re-

ELECTRIC STORM
At VIRGINIA CITY

During a severe electric storm at
Virginia City Thursday afternoon the
large motor, operating the COM
pressor in the hosting plant of the
Con. Virginia mine, was shattered
and it is thought that the lighting
struck the gallows frame, followed
the cable down to the hosting room
and jumped across to the motor.
Several transformers were burned
out but there was no general in
terruption of service, says the
Gazette.
Lightning struck the home of Ed
ward Hawkins, section foreman of
the V. & 7. railroad, burning a
small hole through the side of the
house and SCATTERING mirror hang
ing on the wall. No one in the
house was injured, although the
room where the lightning entered
was occupied.
During the storm the rain came
in a heavy downpour and did con-
siderable damage to the roads,
especially in Six Mile Canyon and
Gold Hill. In Six Mile canyon a
slide of rock came down from Sugar
Loaf mountain and fully sixty tons
of rock and dirt blocked the road.
A detour, via Dayton, was necessary
to reach the mine at the lower end
of the canyon.
Road Supervisor Frank Colan had
a crew of men working on the road
early this morning and expected to
have it opened up late today. The
Geiger grade was not damaged.

FISHING PARTIES CAUGHT
IN NORTHERN CLOUDBURST

George Van Volkcnberg and
Frank Seibert returned yesterday
from a camping and fishing trip to
Trout creek, twenty-five miles north
of DEMO, Oregon, on the state line.
They report good fishing, but down
pours Of rain every day since Tues
day took away the fun of camping.
Starting back to Winnemucea Thurs
day they were caught in a cloud
burst on the Danglemaier fiat, which
made the going difficult. At DEMO
they met Harry Dunn and his son,
who are en- rout to the Stein Noun
tain country, also in Oregon, on a
camping trip. Dunn's car was brok-
en- down, but Seibert effected re-
pairs and the Dunns continued their
trip. A series of cloudbursts in the
northern country are said by the
campers to have done considerable
damage to roads, one instance being
in the toll road, few miles north
of this city, where considerable
work was made necessary.
