show a waste of water, the ike of which
has seldom been seen before. At Millikens
there is a small strip of old levee which Is
used as landing place and road to the
village. The large unfinished levee IN front
of the bend (which, by the way looks very
little like a bend now) is very high. aud
when completed will be of great benefit. 1t
stands like a series of moulds, in bold relief,
and so far, is in no danger. At Alsatia
landing, the levees is about two or three
feet out of the water, with depth of ten
feet against il. Here there are two fine
stores, that of Mr.. J. Stein being one Of the
most complete on the river. At one place Ia
particular, Walnut Point, just below

sections of railroad lands In three dif-
ferent towns In that county, with the
view Of testing the legality Of such pro-
ceedinR. That is right. When the old

the County Board Of that county has

give it their early attention. If it
were private individuals instead OF
counties whose interests were invol.

and the wealthy owners made to bear
their share of the public burdens. But
this will never he done us long rs there
is no effort made to force them to come
to time. Few people are so honest that
they would not escape the payment OF
