It goes without saying no:business can survive that loss, especially:when the greater cost, repairs and underwriting are added to-it.

It must be maintained, but the. probleni is-how. to- maintain’ it on' deep water and still ‘com- pete-on nearly equal térms for the ocean carrying trade. The principle of protection must be applied- somehow. The matter has been debated in Congress' both dogmatically and-academically, For this reason | ion is looked: and but little Jight has been cast upon. it thereb the forthcoming report of Senator Gallinger’s commiss for with the liveliest- interest. s Not. the -least among' the difficulties: is. the differe nce in .port! conditions between the Pacific Coast and the - Atlantic seaboard, Ini: -|" Atlantic ports scratch crews are.more easily obtained; and.

The meeting-will be very important. . There are uneasy signs of rising wrath between: the miners: and ‘the valley- people. It is-as- sérted that the dredge mining on the river: benches' violates Judge' Sawyer’s injunction .against- hydraulic . mining; "and .already the slogan is sounded along the valley to this effect All ‘mining looks. alike to.us valley people.” SR SR Conflict should be avoided if science and patience ctan avert 1 It is probable that the money expended .years ago in litigation over this subject would have .paid for engineering methods to permit mining to go on to the benefit and not the injury of the valley. That it was Mjurious is judicially decided and settled, as.far a hydraulic mining is concerned. If -all mining is considered by the valley people to-be the same, there is danger of a serio y will be costly and the result doubtful. o Ambong. the ‘miners ‘and the farmers.there -are many very able. men, leading citizens, who ‘desire the good of the Stdate. Let the voice of such.be heard in the meetings next week, and let the ut- terance of mere prejudice and passion be suppressed. The valley people are asking much public help to keep .the floods off their lands and maintain the navigability of their rivers.” Any unneces- sary contention will raise up enemies to these plans and start a war that wili injure all and benefit none.

Eve longed to slip away, but it was impossible without disclosing her presence. Besides, ‘the others wbuld no doubt resume their walk. Pierce contirued: “When you wrote me of your coming I did not expect my mother. Her ap- pearance was a surprise.
