nually to the Gulf of Mexico 136400-
000 tons of dissolved matter. Of this
total the Ohio river carries 83350000
tons while the Missouri river contrib-
utes mora than twice that much. The
Colorado river which like the Mte-
slsalppl has built for Itself a vast
delta brings down more suspended
matter than any other river In the
United States delivering annually 387
tons for each square mile of Its drain
age basin or a total of 100740000
tons.
The rivers of the United States the
geological survey reports show carry
to tidewater each year 270000000 tons
of dissolved matter and 513000000
tons of suspended matter. This total
represents more than 850000000 cubic
yards of rock or 610000000 cubic
yards of surface soli. If this erosive
action could have been concentrated
on the Isthmus of Panama the report
says at the time of American occupa
tion it would have excavated tne i
prism for an 85-foot level canal in
about seventy-three days.
An exchange says: "They are ar-
resting people in Dallas for doing noth-
ing." Why not? Such people are law-
breakers as much as those who com-
mit overt acts In violation of the
statutes. They transgress not only the
law of man but the law of God and
of nature also.
What Texas politics needs at this
Juncture is a great leader of the con-
servative anti-statewlders who will
rally them and dictate terms that the
extremists on both sides will be
obliged to accept This Is the only
chance for peace.

EASY MARK FOR JACK JOHNSON
The conservative law-abiding people
of Texas are not going to put up with
any foolishness from either lawless
antls or fanatical pros.
The dust on Main street Is causing
the people of Bryan more anxiety than
that little whirlwind at Austin.
Erosion In the United States.
Investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosions of
numerous dralange basins of the na-
tion reveal that the surface of the
country Is being removed at the aver-
age rate of about an inch In 760 years.
Though this amount may seem trivial
when spread over the surface of the
entire country it becomes supendous
when considered as a total or even
in sepaarte drainage basins.

ficer Curran the Irish heavyweight
champion. Bet for a decision tonight
looks very much like It Dublin is to
be the scene of the encounter and re
ports from that city state that the
Irish sports are falling over each
other to get tickets of admission. The
Emerald Isle has gone crazy on box-
ing and while few expect Curran to
whip the "smoke" the fight fans of
Dublin consider it worth the price of
admission Just to see the big black in
action.
It is not known definitely how much
Johnson will receive for his battle
with Curran although his press agent
sets the sura at $25000. This is prob
ably an exaggeration as there Is hard-
ly that much loose coin In Ireland.
The negro will receive it Is alleged
the sum of $30000 for fighting Bom-
bardier Wells In London early in Sep-
tember. In November probably John-
son will go to Paris to tackle Sam
McVey and will add another snug roll
to his bank account. He Is holding out
for at least $25000 for this mill and
Parisians are so anxious to see him
that they will probably cough up.
By Bryan Civic league.
In one part of town and there may
be others not noticed by the writer
the poles for the new electric light
wires Instead of being planted along
the sides of he street have been set
up in alleys. This certainly improves
the looks of the street for the poles
are not objects of beauty and the wires
often pass through the upper branches
of trees sometimes causing serious In-
Jury to them when the Insulation U
worn away. The city council or. who
ever is responsible for putting Jn the
background these "ugly necessities"
as they have been called should re-
ceive from the citizens a vote of
thanks with the wish that this be
done again wherever possible.
If some owners of handsome homes
would acquaint themselves with the
appearance not of their back lots but
of what is back "of .their lot fences
they might Institute such a local clean-
ing up that would add greatly to the
neatness of their neighborhood. The
writer has in mind one of the Impos-
ing homes of our town where a hired
boy is always employed the stable of
which Is across the street from one
of the most neatly kept homes in
town where no hired man Is kept. The
man who delivers corn at that stable
Is not the only one responsible for the
heap of shucks that litters the face
of the earth In the whole neighbor
hood. When "clean-up day" occurs In
that stable It Is known for blocks
around for It Is transferred only a
few feet from the stable to the street
and carried on the breezes for blocks
away and especially across to the
pretty lawn which disorders it for
days if the mistress of the house her-
self does not remove the shucks. Con
sider the effect of carelessness on
your next door neighbor and on the
tidiness of the street on which you
live.
The much talked of trash can In-
stead of helping to make Main street
a model of neatness for the rest of the
town to follow as Its promoters
thought it would do seems to be work
ing in Just the opposite direction.
Sometimes the can Is full and papers
and trash are piled on the ground
around It. The man who .takes up the
trash simply empties the can and
leaves the rest for the wind to scatter.
If word Is sent to him to take up the
other trash too (this Is the actual ex-
perience of a business man on Main
street) he sends word back: "Naw
sir! Not since they'se got these here
trash cans! I only has to empty them
now and doesn't take 'round a rake
and shovel to scrape stuff off the
eround. Naw sir! I Isn't paid to do
that!" It seems that In this case the
women have done as much as they
could. In the crusade for the trash
can necessarily they had to call on
each merchant more than once and
they have tried fervently to work up
an Interest In cleanliness and neat
ness. It seems now that ll Is time for
the men to enforce these ordinances
that are constantly violated. I am not
a suffragette but I believe that If the
women were Intrusted with that part
of the city government and given the
actual power to enforce the laws re-
lating to it conditions would not be as
they are. Men naturally too are
thinking of business and expect some
one else a very Indefinite someone
to do the cleaning up.
rifle port. There Is no Intention of
making Port Arthur a naval base but
It too will be devloped along commer-
cial lines. Four hundred miles of the
South Manchuria railway together '
with the lease of the peninsula have
Involved vast expenditures. These
may be reimbursed by China and the
leases terminated but there Is another
Interest namely the Antung-Mukden
railway which In another year will be
the continuation of the Korean rail
ways and the last link In the line
between Fusan at the southern end of
the peninsula of Korea and Berlin.
By the time the leases have terml-
nated the capital account will be very
large and it Is doubtful if China will
be able to purchase. Meanwhile the
development of Manchuria goes on al-
most entirely because of the activities
of Japan and the Chinaman resident
benefits In so far as he Is able to mar
ket his produce while at the same
time the money In circulation in-
creases and he Is more prosperous.
The Japanese do not care to go to
Manchutla. The climate does not suit
them and there they must come in
competition as laborers and as mer
chants with the Chinaman who Is a
cheaper laborer and equally as astute
merchant. Nevertheless there can
be no doubt that Japan Intends to
maintain her sphere of Influence up
to the last. There has been so much
bickering over certain Interests In
Manchuria and so much of discrimina-
tion' against others and Intrigue in
their own behalf has been laid to the
door of Japan that she always looks
for some move that will follow the
same lines. Arbitration has not a
pleasant sound to the Japanese offi-
cials. They have been disappointed
by arbitration before. Nevertheless If
the terms of the Anglo-American
treaty are found to be practical there
Is every likelihood that Japan will not
be unwilling to Join but she will al
ways ask to be allowed to apply the
Monroe doctrine to Asia.

MANCHURIA IS THE
CRUX OF THE PROBLEM
Why Japan Is Unwilling to Sign
Unconditional Arbitration
Treaties.
By Associated Press. 1
Toklo Aug. 5. Hesitation on the
part of Japan to enter into negotia
tions with the United States looking
to the conclusion of an arbitration
treaty on lines similar to projected
between Great Britain and the United
States is not born of objection to arbl
tration. but arises from a desire to
know more of what may be proposed
before committing herself.
It is nointed out that there are cer
tain things which Japan can not and
will not arbitrate any more than It
would be reasonable to expect the
United States to arbitrate the applica
tion of the Monroe doctrine. Undoubt
edly Manchuria Is the crux. So much
has been said and Is being said about
the hand of the whole world being
against Japan's expansion policies that
it has come to be the popular belief in
Japan that every effort will be made
to prevent her making any more out
