The Paducah council is wrestling with
the question of what best to do about some
serious wash-outs made by the river in the
front Of the city. so serious are the dam
ages done and threatened to be done, that
the board of trade of that city is about to
petition Secretary Lincoln for federal aid to

rivers channel by huge slices of Paducah,

selfish motives in the matter, but purely by
desire to save the channel and commerce.
