The Louisiana Lottery,

The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune applies with equal fore to
this locality:
There are great many people in
this city who contribute monthly q
part of their earnings to the Louisiana
Lottery. We trust that they will
make note of the offer that that
concern is making for the privilege of
conducting its business in the State
Of Louisiana, and have time to reflect
that they help make up that tremen-
dous fund. Perhaps that will lead
them to the further reflection. that it
is risky businesato try and make a
living out Of a game that collects such
tremendous percentages.

The qusrrelling over the Hennepin

report recommended that the $500. 900
appropriated by congress he spent on
the dam at Rock Island, and that work
be begun at once. The war department
formally approved his recommendations
Now large number of prominent citi.

war begging him not to carry out the
recommendation of Capt. Marshall The
petitioners desire tina the work Of con.

of the canal rather than al the mouth of
Rock river, as recommended by Capt.
Marshall. Assistant-Secretary Grant
said today that he had not had time to
examine thoroughly the petition. and
could not, therefore, say what the people
of Mo inc really did want

of Moline will be for rsught now. 1t Is
