HEIRESS1 ARRIVAL TIMELY

Whole Nation Rejoiced with thePrincess Whose Heart Was Set ona Girl Game at Height of SeasonEvent Announced by Post CardsHow She Gnres for Her Babies

CorwpeadiTif et The Wasfetegtan HirAMOstend Belfclum Oct Ostend this

year the greatest event of an eventfulseason was the birth to Prince and Prin-

cess Albert of Belgium of their firstdaughter To the joy of all the babysbirth took place in the height of the sea-son Its coming had been eagerlyawaited For a full month the news wasexpected every moment and every strangesound which was heard in the air wastaken to be made by the booming can-

non which heralds a royal birth Practical Jokers took advantage of the peo-

ples expectancy and a week before thebaby came telegrams to the governor ofthe neighboring district of Bruges announced the safe arrival of a princessand brought forth showers of

addresses from high officiate andfrom civic bodies as Wen as a preliminarydisplay of rejoicings with their full ac-

companiment of bands and cannon flagsand flowers

Prince Albert of Belgium babysfather though the father already of twosons as well as heir presumptive to theBelgian throne is not free from bashfulness on these occasions and the

congratulations confused him butthe incident had no dampening effect onthe people it only led wise women tonod their heads and aver that the babywould surely be a princess for they saidevery one knows a girl takes longer incoming than a boy Aa a matter of factthe good women of Belgium wanted agirl for they were convinced that theirfriend the princess wanted shenot two boys already and they wouldhave been hugely disappointed had shefalsified their predictions and presentedthem with another baby prince insteadAs It was they were a hugely delightedwhen what they foretold came to patsat last N

Event Announced by Post CardsNot one had doubted how it would bp

The baby was born at 3 in the morningby breakfast time and people breakfastat dawn ra Belgium the hawkers on theOstend plague were selling post cardswith pictures on them of the infantshown in its nurses arms on that sameplague Dispatch could not Rave beenIore happily joined to intelligent antici-pation

The wife of the Belgian hejr lovesquietness but she does not resent thewatch which the people on her mostintimate trails There IB no such thinsas pqrtng a princess in th j directline of a throne Is concerned and throneshave been lost and countries plunged intowar before now because events weresurrounded with privacy whoa state cuetorn and policy ordained there shoulftbenone Statecraft however bad little toSlY to Ute public interest in the newestroyal birth the two sons already born tothe babys Barents rendered the comingof a third child a matter of small politi-

cal importance It was the gojHilar affec-tion for the babys mother which madethe coming of the little princess such agreat event

1rlnccss Mother Greatly LovedThe babys mother has long ago won

erself into the hearts of the women ofBelgium by her gentle womanliness bywhat In days to come will be known as-

her motherliness but which has not yetcome to be so called because somehowher small youthful personality makes herappear more in the light of a very kindmarvelously unselfish and deeply

sister a young sister whosewisdom and sagacity causes her to takeand fill a place fitting for one older thanherself rather than In that of an augustroyal mother AH the women of the poorer classes know that Princess Elizabethas they call her using her own namewhich to them seems more personal thanher ottteial title is the daughter of a greatdoctor They believe not unjustifiablythat with her fathers kindliness she haminherited some of her fathers learnedmagic and they accept with her helpher advice on recondite matters regardingInfants care but all the time even whenthey listen with awe to her instructionsthere is found something of a protectingspirit mixed with their affection They donot call her so but they figure her tothemselves in their minds as their littleprincess the kind and wise motherly lit-tle princess whom they so love to thinkof with a little baby girl of her own inaddition to her two fine boys

Now the desire of princess and people isgratified and the royal household has set-tled down again to its customary routineBefore that was possible there had ofcourse to be a great official pother overthe christening of the baby Ministers ofstate had to be attendant on its birthnominally within sight and call but only

nominally in these days and special train-loads of other ministers had to come forthe registration of the event

Registration DifficultiesFor that registration itself difficulties

had to be coped with which kept the off-icials at great and small awakernd troubled for a full week beforehandwhile the newspapers chronicled their per-plexity Every babys birth must be

in a book of special form kept inthe record fce of the commune AU

hien even when bibles are equal beforethe eyes of the Belgian law and thisbaby had to be registered In the samebook as the other babies of the communein Its proper place among the othersproperty deteribed as a baby of thefeminine sex and with tb proper nameand description of its father added hesigning the record as wttaass of its cor-rectness

About the signing there was no dlculty Royal persons are so mighty thatthey sign their Christian names aloneat if even among royalties there wereno other Alberts or Georges or sAwards than eacn particular one of themTherefore Prince Albert signed Albertand his signature took up less room thanthat of any fisherman who like him wasmade a happy father that day but ifprinces parade simplicity in the signing-of their names there is no such simplicityabout their titles and the long of ti-

tles of Prince Albert with that of hisdecorations from the Golden Fleece ofSpain m Double Dragon of Chinawould alone more than fill the burgoma-sters look and yet all had to be fittedinto to book

particularly irksome for them if theyhad any such custom for the Royal per-sonages of this small country love tofrequent places crowded by people andto come and go as others do The Bel-

gians pride themselves on this unfetter-ed movement and while the people ofother kingdoms make a great point offlourishing their hats and handkerchiefs-at kings and princes obliging kings andprinces to an almost perpetual hat lift-Ing in return whenever the set foot outof doors the Belgians pride

respecting the incognito of theirroyalties Theirs ter in reality far themore courteous and kindly proceedingand one consequence of it is that thePrinces Albert and her little toddlers canand do take their walks abroad in thesimplest manner enjoying their lovelyparks and avenues of Brussels and thebroad sands of Ostend with untroubledfreedom The courtesy of the peoplegoes further indeed for while there

apparent edging away in contrast toother countries there is not the l acrowding about the spot where the royalchildren play

I do not think it is the glamor whichsurrounds royalty as much as the realarUon the sense that the little boysare our princes which makes every onelook with particular kindliness on thegambols of the little princes and whichbrings a smile to every face which lookson them There are none Iff Belgium whorefuse that smile and truly it Is merited for the two little princes of the Bel-gian house are open bonny childrenThey have already learned the lessonwhich sunk so deep into their par-ents minds that it is the duty of princes-to content and please the people andthey are already considerate for all theycome in contact with and eager to pleaseTheir mother is a great patroness of chi-ldrens holiday homes by the sea and allsuch institutions and the little princes areconstantly brought into contact with

poorer fellow citizens of their ownage In thrifty and sober Belgium thereis no tragedy of child life and the poorchildren fare as gay as well nourishedand as stoutly clad as the royal princeswho come to visit and play with them intheir kindergartens and in the villas atthe seaside where the organization whichPrincess Albert protects secures summerholidays for thousands every year

Mother Practices HygIeneThere is a great display of wonderful

baby clothes whenever a royal baby isborn in Belgium and on such occasionsthe mothers who claim Princess Albertsfriendship or protection or who belongto any of these innumerable societieswith which she is connected manage toget within the palace walls on some

or another to present an address incommon or it may be individually tocarry their congratulations with aof flowers to their patroness and formonths afterward they tell wondroustale of lace and ribbons and muslin ofcradles and pillows and pincushionsgenerally the clothing of the Httle princes-is exquisite only in Its freshness and sim-plicity Their mother with her Germangood sense and her special medical loreis a high priestess of hygiene she wagesunceasing warfare against microbes Sheprides herself more on a particularly useful and cleanly combination of toilet

and babys bath than on any lacedraped cradle and so far in the earliestyears of her motherhood did she carryher precautions against infection that allentering the nursery from the street hadto cover their clothes with a huge overallThin precaution is now dropped but fursare sun strictly forbidden and the babysgrandmother herself the widowed Coun-tess of Flanders Prince Alberts motherhas to remove her furs on entering hersons palace before her grandchildren arelet near her

Every mother would do well to followthe careful example of tho Belgian prin-cess in the separation of her childrenfiom all contact with dirt and In wirdIng off evil from them as ftr as possiblebut watching these gay little tots one

realizes that if there are immense pos-sibilities for happiness In a prince lifethere are also shadows hanging over itmore heavy than those which threatenlesser men Both in public and in pri-

vate life the parents of these littleprinces are above reproach Each ofthem Is devoted to duty each of themstrives honestly and seriously to fill theday with good work and yet one suesthe glad play of their tiny children surrounded with precautions against un-

known danger for which the foir ofmicrobes alone cannot account PrincessAlbert loves the Belgians she knowsthey hold her in affection and ensuredly she has no fear of any of them yether motherly precaution even in theirplay out of doors in crowded placescauses her to draw the two boys whostand in the succession to the throneas far apart as may be without alto-gether separating it is muchthe same within their home itself CanIt be that she dreads that some mndanarchist hand reckless of the parentsgood or of the Childrens innocenceshould cast a bomb between themWhatever the cause of the excessive caremay evil omen be averted from them

Careful Guard Against DangerThe careful guard against every

sible danger accounts for the fact thatthe little princes the eldest is only fourand a half years old the younger just

they travel to the sameplace go by different trains Thus theother day they went on a visit to theirgrandmother at her country chateau andPrince Leopold the elder went one daybefore his brother Prince Charles

For themselves their story is quicklytold They are intelligent docile littlechildren Prince Leopold is graver thanhis brother sedately like his conscientious father while Prince Charles theyounger is a greater romp and full ofmore ready laughter They have the longlimbs of their father while in their facesthe soft Bavarian looks of their motherare clearly shown

BUILDING INLAND SEA

Colorado River Rapidly Filling Salton Siuk

COURSE Or STREAM

Instead of Emptying Into the PacificOcean A It Once Did This GreatKlver Now Flows Into n PopulousVnlley Efforts to Bring River IntoOriginal Course So Far n Failure

San Francisco Cal Oct 9 An engi-

neering task of more than ordinaryand difficulty is that of attempting to

restore course of the Colorado Riverwhich no longer empties Into the PacificOcean but has leaped its banks and IB

building an inland sea of it own in theSalton Sink of Southern California

Great hydrograpbte engineers backedby unlimited resources are strainingevery fiber in heroic effort to turnriver back Into the natural bed of thewaterway but have only a lightingchance for success Failure will drivefrom one of the most fertile valleys of theworld SCM prosperous farmers whosecrops and homes will be submerged undera sheet of water that will have no outletand rival the great Salt Lake of UtahThis new inland sea already stretchesover S90 square mites of territory and isadvancing toward the higher levels at therate of a foot a day in every direction

The Colorado River one of the longestin the world measuring 1C30 miles jumped its banks a few miles south of the in-

ternational boundary line between Cali-fornia and Mexico at a dam that had beenbuilt by commercial enterprises in orderto harness the river for irrigation purposes Several million dollars were spenton the canal by private individuals Itfollows the line of the Alamo River westerly across the silt uplands of the Mexican province known as Lower Californiaand then turned northward toward

Valley which occupies the wedgeshaped depression between the imtinrange of the Sierras and the ChocolateMountain spur of the San Bernardinorange

Formerly an Inland SeaOddly enough the Salton Sink phenom-

ena demonstrate too that nature likehistory frequently travels in circles of

Government geologists tell usthat Imperial Valley which is now threat-ened with extinction by submersion wasonce before in the dim put the bed of agreat inland sea That was ecnturies agobut the fact is indelibly recorded in thestratification which read like an openbook to the scientist That original seaextended from the little town of Indtosons miles north of what in recent yearshas been designated as the Salton Sinkall the way down to the present Gulf ofCalifornia An idea of the depth of thevalley may be had from the fact thathalf of it 1 even today lower than thelevel of the Pacific Ocean

Mtttlons of tons of silt were carrieddown during the centuries and depositedby the Colorado in the southern portion efthe original Salts 9fc The river after-a while formed a delta like that of theHUe and built a barrier wMohta nettlon of the inland from theocean The building of this natural damgradually elevated the bed of the Colora-

do River higher than the sea level andas the silt spread out over the surroundingcountry a tableland was formed in thatpart of the Lower California peninsulaknown as the overflow lands Theriver cut a channel for itself downthrough these lands toward the Gulf ofCalifornia and the old inland sea sepa-rated from the ocean by newly formedoverflow lands was left without an outlet to shrnk by evaporation

Rich and Prosperous ValleyThe sea became smaller and smaller un-

til in our own time nothing remainedof it but the salt lake known as SaltonSink The sink was fed by this AlamoRiver Sowing northward from the over-flow lands and by Cartoo and San Felipecreeks which rise in tho Sierras Thesink had no outlet and although waterwas constantly entering from the riverand creeks the sink remained stationaryin size because the intense heat took Justas much water out of it by the processof evaporation as the entering streamsbrought every day

Until a few years ago Imperial Valleysouth of Salton Sink was for the most parta sage brush desert It had once beenthe floor of the old inland sea but whenthe water left the region became aridlike millions of other acres in the sultrySouthwest Civilizations advance acrossthe Rockies brought about the application-of the art of irrigation to the arid valleyand roses soon bloomed where there hadbeen a desert waste

In 1906 more than 96060 acres were underirrigation Imperial Valley and thereare now 8009 inhabitants living there onground that is below the level of the sea

So much had been accomplished throughthe irrigation ditch that a company wasorganized for undertaking the ofa canal to recover many more thousandacres on the Mexican side of the boundary This company spent several milliondollars on the Imperial canal which har-nessed the Colorado and led its watersthrough a dam and waterway so as toconnect with the Alamo River

Colorado Bursts Its BanksThis irrigation canal bud been com-

pleted and prospects were brightest whensuddenly the Colorado then at its floodheight about a year ago smashedthrough the floodgate dam of the canaland rushed toward the Alamo Beforesuch a torrent with its million tons ofsilt every twentyfour hours the engi-neers were helpless and the turbulent waters opened the mouth of the canal a halfmile tearing great gaps out all alongthe artificial waterway At Calexico theflood cut a new channel a half milo wideand then turned northward toward BallonSink into which the Colorado River hassince been emptying its contents insteadof following Its own bed to the sea

of a sudden the Saltonshrunken remnant of a once wonderfulinland sea took on signs of new life andbegan to flood the neighboring countryThat was before the Frisco earthquake-and it was some time before the nativesunderstood the real cause Toursts on theTranscontinental Railroad were told mys-terious tales at the stations about the rea-son for the encroachment of the watersupon the railroad tracks Over ItO milesof the Southern Pacific were submergedand the tracks have been twice movedtoward higher levels but the water isstill encroaching Unless the flood sstopped the Southern Pacific will have tospend millions building a newline throughthe San Bernardno Mountains That iswhy the Southern Pacific is spendingwhatever the engineers may require in analmost hopeless effort to throw the Coloredo back into her channel

Great Damage Wroughtspreading of Salton Snk at the

rate of a foot a day until more than 30square miles of country have been Dubmerged has carried destruction and trembling In Its wake Great salt works havebeen annihilated valuable farms ruinedand the valley with depopula

UTES CHANGE MINDS

Now Refuse to Rctnrn to Reserva-tion Robbing Sheep Camps

Acting Secretary of Interior Ryan re-

ceived a telegram on Friday that hassomewhat upset his optimistic views asto corralling the Utes who several daysago left their reservation In Utah

Correspondence from Indian InspectorJames McLaughlin received In the pastfew days state that although the Utes arein a stubborn mood they would be gottenback without difficulty Fifty of themhave been started back but their leaderwith the major portion of his followingrefused to return and is marching towardthe Crowe Reservation in Montana Itwas in regard to this band thattelegram was received from the JohnMorton Sheep Company of GilletteWyo It read as follows

Utes camped fifteen miles from townRobbing sheep camps killing cattle andgame People becoming aroused overtrouble Cannot speedy action be takenAnswer

Acting Secretary Ryan immediately dis-patched the following answer

Telegram received The department isendeavoring to return Utes to their reser-vation and has been partly successfulYour telegram will receive immediate attention and prompt action

It was said by officials of the department that no trouble whatever is fearedor expected and that the Indians wouldsoon be persuaded to return to their ownreservation after they had camped for afew days on the Crow Reservation asthey would be unable to find subsistencethere

Digging the Canal Xot Easyna UK Providence Journal

The truth seems to be that we wentat tho task on the isthmus with noadequate conception of the difficultiesInvolved It appeared a work easilywithin the capacities of our boastedAngloSaxon civilization to dig thistropical ditch from ocean to ocean Ina few years and GO demonstrate oncemore how much better adapted for suchlabors are we who speak the Englishlanguage than the frivolous Gaul whoseengineering essay at Panama was quiteIn line with his efforts at tropical coloni-zation elsewhere But the sum total of ourenergetic enterprise up to date is Mil

Manner of LeaffallFrom St Nicholas

The manner in which the leaffall proceeds in different trees is also noteworthyThe ends of the branches lose their leavesfirst in the ash beech and hornbeamwhen the body of the tree ig still clothedwith bright foliage The poplars andwillows have an exactly contrary habitfor when the trunk is stripped of foliagethe branch ends are still decorated With-

a few lone leaves which wave like raggedbanners beneath the November sky ItIs remarkable how tenaciously these lastleaves cling to the tossing boughs Atlast they also come hurtling to the frozenground and the bare trees of the forestgive forth once more under the strongwinds urging that storn sonorous musicwhich will last throughout the winter
