We the undersigned members of the

ception and celebration beg leave to
present the fol- ,wing facts:
The Queen City Band" of Seattle
were engaged TO play on the day of the
Willard reception at s for each instru-
ment. An invitation was Also extended
to the Seattle Cornet Band. who now
complain Of iniuSticel TO play during
the day of the reception After some
hesitation, they said they would play.
but only on condition of being PAID
$I2 70 for each instrument. We IN
formed them that the other band had
agreed to play for s., and for home
celebration in which they had person
al interest. occupying only a portion OF
the day. it seemed that this was
proper remuneration and we could not
make an exception in their favor They
refused TO play for less than the amount
originally stated.
The Carbonate Band was engaged
for about SIS for each instrument OF
eighteen pieces for $50. They, however
agreedto play not only during the day
bu. also in the evening. As the CaToona'
do Rand would have to be absent from
their homes and business three days
and do double the playing asked from
the Seattle Cornet Band it was felt by
every member of this committee tina,
the Carb. nado Band eyinced a spirit OF

est in the Gospel ship Evangel, has pur-
chased little steam propeller recently
built by }. c. Hornbeck, of Port Blakely,
and which will be completed in about

Benjamin will use her as a sort OF

Arkansaw Legislature.

For some cause or other our Little
Rock papers have suddenly stopped
coming; whether or not it is because
they are freighted with such momen-
tous issues that is being legislated
upon by our representatives which
makes them too bulky for transmits
sion through the mail bags, we don't
know. One copy of the Gazette, of
the 9th. inst, however, after going
around the circle, finally found its
way TO the inner court of our sane
tum. From it we learn that both
law factory of Arkansas met the day
before, Monday, and organized. The
Senate elected Senator Judkins, Of
Randolph, president, and Hon. John
G. Holland, Secretary, on first bollot.
For the Office Of assistant secretary,
Senator John b. Driver, of Mississip-
pi, put in nomination the name Of
Judge Harry S. Williams, also of
Mississippi, who received three solid
vote clear through to the sixth ballot
when he was pulled of the tract. DR..
Mcclure, an old favorite, was elected,
and thus the contract Of last summer
went by default-the party of the
first part failed to deliver the Office
to the party Of the second part, and
thereby hangs tale.
The House, after being called to
order by Paul NJ. Cobb, clerk of the
last house, prayer by Rev. A. r.
Winfield, calling the roll, swearing
in the members. &c, the election Of
a Speaker was announced in order,
which resulted in the election Of w.
c. Braley, of Washington.
We hope our Little Rock exchan-
gcs will come with more regularity
in future, so we can keep Our readers
posted.
The Osceola times., 1883-01-13
OSCEOLA, ARKANSAS SATURDAY, JANUARY 49, 1888

The commission say: ave see no
reason for doubling the ultimate en-
tire success Of the imp ovement on
the upper Mississippi. Below Des-
Moines the work is carri d on in de-
tached portions, and so far only at
those places where navigation is most
impeded; but on the Missouri only
the continuous work, beginning at
some point of stable regim N, affords
any prospect of success. by doubl-
ing or trebling the plants, which can
not be done under the present allot-
ment of appropriations, the work
could be done in a much shorter time
without any increase Of the ultimate
cost" The report recapitulates in
detail the plans upon which the com
mission is at work below Cairo, the
main principle being the contraction
of the width of the river and the pro-
lection Of the banks to secure the
securing out Of the bottom and the
prevention Of the formation of bars.
These works have already passed be-
yond the experimental stage. They
have received practical tests at va
rious points on the Mississippi. and
Missouri rivers, and even the recent
work of the commission already
shows their correctness. For carry
ing on the work at the harbors of
Vicksburg, Natchez, and New Or
leans, the lock at bayou Plaquemine,
the rectifcation of the Red and
Atchafalaya rivers, and for closing
crevasses and outlets as auxiliary
to the works of channel improvements,
S4,573,OOO is wanted.
Concerning outlets and levees, the
report says: "The plan of improve
ment should include the control of
floods, in order to succeed in such
general improvement as is described
in the organic act creating the COM
mission"
The report recommends that pro-
vision be made by law for the appro-
priation, by suitable proceedings, of
land and material necessary in any
work of improvement of the Missis-
sippi river undertaken by the gov
ernment. 1t recommends that pro-
vision be made for retaining control
by government over areas reclaimed
and built up from the river bed by
channel Improvement. 1t is recon-
mended that provision be made by
law for the punishment of persons
making or assisting to make any cut
of at any neck or bend in the Mis-
sissippi river, or in any manner in
terfering with its channel or banks.
From SO much of that part of the re-
port which relates to levees one mem
Der of the commission, Gen. CONS
took, dissents. He is of opinion that
levees are of but little aid in the i'm
provement of low water navigation,
and doubts at present the advisable
ity of raising the levees on the banks
Of rivers above the present grades.
