OUR WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
PROM WASHINGTON
What Our Grout Men ere lining, The
Measures They Favur, (liner
Things ol Interest.
Washington, D. C (Special)
The River and Harbor appropriation
bill, which, in all
will be reported to the Senate
this week, will carry between
forty-eight and fifty millions of
dollars in many ways gives promise
of being the most scientifically
prepared bill which the
committies of the two Houses,
dealing with the rivers and harbors
of the United States, have
ever reported. In addition to
liberal appropriations for the
larger projects, it will carry some
interesting items affecting the
smaller rivers of the United
States, which are sought to be
improved for the benefit of the
communities along their courses,
and it will carry in the neighborhood
of $75,000 for the destruction
of the water hyacinth
which grow luxuriently in some
of the streams of the south seriously
interfering with navigation.
These hyacinths originally
came from Florida. When
New Orleans had its exposition
in 1884-5 the water hyacinth was
brought from Florida and sold as
a curiosity to visitors attending
that exposition. They were
planted in the states of Louisi
ana and Texas and so rapid were
their growth that instead of be.
ing a decorative plant they have
almost become a curse to the
people living along southern waters
particularly in the bayous
of the Pelican State.
Congressman Broussard, of
Louisiana, realizing that the
work of the Engineer Board of
the Army, looking to the destruction
and extermination of
the water hyacinth, has been but
a drop in the bucket, contemplates
the introduction of the
hippopotamus as one means to
bring about the extermination
of the hyacinth and to that end
has introduced a bill in Congress
appropriating $250,000 to begin
the propagation of this animal.
Recently a hearing was had on
the Broussard bill before the
Committee on Agriculture at
which were present Captain
Fritz Duquesne, fprmerly of the
Boar Army, Doctor Irwin and
Major Burnham a naturalist who
has a great deal of experience
bpth in Africa, in this country
and in Mexico. This hearing
has aroused the very liveliest interest
and the newspapers of the
country are devoting columns to
the discussion, of what gives
promise of being of the first importance
in solving the problem,
or at least going, far towards
solving the problem, of our meat
supply.
Congressman Broussard, in
speaking of his bill said: "If
the government fails to appropriate
the amount asked for in
my bill I am in a position to say
that the introduction of the hippopotamus
into at least some of
the bayous of Louisiana will be
undertaken by a commercial
company shortly to be organized.
Their introduction into the waters
of the south is believed to be
wholly feasible for the climatic
conditions of my state are very
similar to those that prevail in
Africa, the home of the hippopotamus.
"African streams and African
rivers are kept entirely clean of
water hyacinth by the hippopot
amus and other animals like the
water buffalo. The pictures of
the Roosevelt expedition show
the l'ivers of Africa clean of
aquatic plants like the water hyacinth
and our streams could be
cleaned up the same way and
navigation made possible where
it is now impossible for steamers
to operate, on account of the
rank growth of this plant which
we have been endavoring to exterminate
for many years by
spraying, dredging and cutting.
Then again the introduction of
the hippopotamus would go far
toward solving the problem of
our meat supply.
"The flesh of the hippopotamus
is highly esteemed and
when salted and cured is known
in the Cape of Good Hope as
or Lake-cow-bacon.
The fatty mass lying
between the skin and the flesh
or muscles is considered one of
the purest animal fats and is in
great demand among the Cape
Colonists. These massive animals
were to the English settlers
in Cape Colony what our buffalo
was to the pioneers in the settlement
of our great prairies and
like the buffalo were heedlessly
almost exterminated. Then again
the African buffalo, the bush-buck
and red-buck would also
be valuable additions to the state
which I have the honor, in part,
to represent Because these animals
have not been introduced
is not a sound reason why they
should not be. Seriously we
need every additional species
that it is possible to secure before
its extermination takes place
Of the more than one hundred
species whose flesh is both palatable
and matritibus' we can find
a place somewhere in our great
country that will be atlapted to
the successful propagation of
each.
"We are now consuming on an
average eight ounces of meat per
day for each inhabitant or fifteen
billion pounds per annum At
the same rate of consumption as
now, in 1950 when we will have
two hundred millions of people,
it will require one hundred million
pounds per day or twenty
million tons per annum, and in
order to provide for this enormous
increase in consumption we
must secure animals adapted to
areas that are now non-producing.
Its a condition and not a
theory that confronts us.

The Agricultural Committee
of the House has been one of the
very busiest of the committees of
Congress during the present session.
Besides the regular appropriation
bill which occupied
upwards of a month in preparation,
the committee has had long
drawn out hearings on the bill
to create a great forest reserve
along the Appalachian mountains
as well as upon the the bill to
the sale of cotton for
future delivery. The latter measure
brought to Washington cotton
growers and cotton speculators
from all sections of the
country and developed some very
interesting information as to the
methods of "Boosting" and depressing
the price of that staple,
especially in New York and New
Orleans. But it is doubtful if
there will be any legislative outcome
of the healings at the present
session.
xxxxxx
The next measure of National
importance to be considered by
the committee will be the various
bills, there are nearly a dozen
of them, to amend the law
relating to the manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine. While

FIVE GENERATION IN WELL

Mrs. PCIIy lames Living in L'noy
Society ol Her Great Great
Grand f hlldren.
Photographer, Joe Stewart, of
Marion, has recently completed
a very interesting group representing
five generations of one
of the best known families in
Crittenden county.
Mrs. Polly James, who is the
eldist of the group, is the widow
of the late Smith James who is
remembered as one of the most
prosperous farmers of this county
She is held in high esteem by all
who know her and is much loved
on account of the tender, lovable
motherly way which has characterized
her life. Although she
has attained a remarkable age
she is yet in possession of her
full mental faculties, moves about dered purchasd making four in

The four remaining characters
are; Mrs. Eliza Paris, her only
daughter, Mrs. Sallie Prowell,
her grand daughter, John Prowell,
her grand son and his little
two. year old son, Walter Ray,
who is her great great grand son
Although Walter Ray has always
been a very delicate child physically,
a great deal of his life in
care of the family physician, he
has attracted much attention on
account of his extraordinary
mental powers. His bright little
face beams with intelligence;
this together with his friendly
and lovable disposition has made
him a general favorite and his
many friends predict that future
years hold flattering prospects
for him.
