TEXAN TO SMOKE oUTs COOLIDGE?

While the main object of the meeting of the Republican National Committee in Washington next month is t8 seloet tlie site for the partys national convention in 1928 whole lot of poi- ticians are awaiting with interest the meet nG between President Coolidge and R. B. Creager, National Committeeman for Texas. For be 1t known that gentleman from the Lone Star State has declared his intention of smoking out" the President on the real meaning of his famous T do not choose to run" Of course, MT Creager IS not going to do the smoking out crudeiy, He is too well versed Tn the proper political etiquette to commit any such blunder. But he is going 10 get the desired information. e thinks. MT. Creager has said that he will inform the Presi- dent that the people of the State of Texas desire hm to be a candidate and that the 23 delegates from the State will be instructed for him unless they are definitely told the President will not ac- cept the nomination. Others beside MT, Crsager have had ideas about getting more definite views on his attitude than they thought his terse an nouncement of last summer contained Yet when the opportunity presented itself they passed by it. Maybe the Texas Committeeman wont feel so ambitious when he gets to Washington. However that may be, the meeting between the President and him will be watched with considerable interest.

HOW BROKEN LEvEES LOWERED THE
 BIG FLOOD.

How high would last springs flood i'll the Mississippi have risen had all the main levees remained unbroken?"
 This was a question asked so frequently of the United States Engineering Corps and the Weather Bureau that each organization gave care ful consideration to preparing an answer The two sets of answers were compared and corrss- bonded closely.
 At St. Louis the crest of the flood vas not influenced by the breaking of the levees. Ai or A. 2 feet over the flood stage of f3 feet and if the levees had not broken the crest would have been eght-tenths of foot higher, or As feet. Cairo, H.. Memphis. Tenn. and Helena, Ark each escaped rise of the river Of between one and two feet because the levees failed. The principal changes between the stages that might have been and the stages that actually happened appeared on the lower river with maximum dif- ferences at Arkansas City, Ark. and Natchez Miss where the river, would have been from 8 to s feet higher if the eyees had held. Green vile Miss. and Baton Rouge, La, had flood stages about feet lower than they might have had. At vicksburg the relief was nearer 6 feet Flood stage at New Orleans is IT feet The river rose to 21 feet, but without the breaks in ths levee the engineers and Weather Bureau men think the possible stage would have been from 27.2 to PIT feet relief of from G2 to G.7 feet due to the breaks in the levees

JOHNSON OPPOSES HILL MERGER.

Congressman Albert Johnson of Washington Chairman of the House Immigration Committe and regarded generally one of the leading spokesmen in Congress for the Pacific Northwest has announced his unequivocal opposition to tn proposed giant consolidation plan of the thre great Hill" roads the Great Northern. Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy In announcing his position, he said
 Congress, through legislation already has accepted the policy that if there arc 10 be railroad consultations they must be first, in the public interest; second, they must be we'll balanced so as to give equal opportunities to all the carriers; third they must preserve competition.
 The proposed consolidation is not in the public interest. It is established as an undisputed fact that it will create unbalanced competition that will jeo- pardize the interests of the entire North west and particularly Washington, which State is entering period of industrial and agricultural development that prom ises to outstrip existing transportation facilities in the State.
 As one of the great gateways to the Orient and coastwise trade it is first necessity that Washington have unm- paired railway facilities. It would be industrial suicide to permit any combina- tion that would prevent the active and yirile competition between carriers which is the very life of efficient trans / portation service.
 The proposed consolidation would duce the number of employees limit facilities and equipment and any saw ing would accrue only to the stock holders and not to the interests of the public.
