done by the Tensas Basin board, has

The government works of 1894
along the line are all nearing com

1895 has been commenced in a
way which will greatly reduce the

The Audubon break, in the Ar

for about ten years, and contributed
largely to the amount of water
which passed around the head Of the
present Mississippi river system

three-quarters miles long and about
eight and one-llalf feet in height.
and will contain about 90, 600 cubic
yards. The work is being paid for
by the Tensas Basin Levec Board to
the extent Of $4,000, and the remain
