Protect tl|C Streams.
•Tho Ocmulgeo river was once nuvi-
.guble an high op ua Macon. Steam'
boats connected that city with the
,citi«8,of the coast, nml steamboat
. ownorx grew rich in the business of
,transporting freight and passengers
.Gradually the river became shallow,
until now no steamboats go to Ma
con, and nono but tho smallest go
even as far ni. Uawkinsville. The
cause of tho river’s becoming shallow
was tho cutting down of tho trees
along its banks. Tho absonco of
.treesand undergrowth permitted the
soil to be washed into tho river with
.cv<5ry henry rain, iJHing upjtho chan
nel, and thus leaving a depth of wa
ter scarcely sufficient to float a
canoe.
Other streams havo shared tho
fate of tho Oomulgee. Indeed,
many of tho navigable streams in
Georgia are rapidly becoming little
.more limn shallow crooks. Every
year their banks become more bar
ren of trees, and 'tho soil of the cul
tivated lands tho more easily finds its
i*ay intp.l^o channels. The towns
.and cjtips on sqoli streams suffer in
dury to their commorco boyond re-
pair,.hut,nono .of them tako any
