de San Miguel sc queia que ell con.
trato heeho con Laub por Ia coml-
sion por el uso de las maderas en-
dicha mcrced. no es justo nj

sc junt6 nj q algunos dc los miem,
broa de Ia cOmision, qniegee SD IN
teresaban q dar el contrato q aque-
Tia persona que pagara el mas alto
precio. Despues de haberse frmado
el contrato aparece mucho descon-
tento; ademas el senior j. d. W.
Veeder, ell abogado que represen-
tn los intereses de Ia merced en-
las curtes, les ha aconsejado de
no hacer ningnn corltrato, hasta
que no Sc pasara el tempo dc ape

Julian Sandoyal y Julio Segura,
miembros de Id comision por orden
del pueblo, han llamado uta junta
de todos aqucllos a quienes con

IT CAN'T BE DONE.
1t Is Nonsense to Talk About Dredg-
ing the Mississippi River.

The following item is going the
rounds of the river exchanges; The
Mississippi River Commission is at
work on a plan for keeping the
channel of the river dredged out at
all seasons by having a permanent
dredging force at work. Expert
ments with a dredge, such as is used
in Germany for a similar purpose,
are being made with excellent re.
suits, The commission believes that
within two years work will be in OPP
GRAFTON and ther iver clear fromi its
mouth to the headwaters,
Maj. Meigs was talking to a Gate
City man the other day about this
statement and he said it was an ut
ter impossibilty to dredge the Mis-.
sissippi in the manner proposed,
The task is simply impracticable.
What the government has been for
years and is now doing is to let the
river dredge itself. This is mainly
accomplished by the construction OF
dams which concentrate the power
of the water in the channel and in
a year more is accomplished in this
way than could be in a century by
the use of the dredge. In places,
however the dredge has been used
to advantage; but it requires deep
water for the operation of the
steam dredge, The suction dredge,
one of which is in the government
fleet at St. Louis is a splendid
thing to work in sand with under
limited conditions, When the sys-
tenn of dams and dikes and shore
protection is completed it is calcu-
lated by Government experts that
there will be a navigable channel at
least four and one-half feet deep in
extreme low water the full length
Of the Mississippi, but this will not
be accomplished for very many

DAvY CROCKETT.
A Ghost Story Not Told by Col, Bob
in His Lecture on "The Fall
of the Alamo

Recent reports from the Alamo
Mission building, where, in 1886,
so many brave men were butchered
by Santa Anna's soldiers-Davy
Crockett and James Bowie among
the rest-revives the old legend
among the Mexicans that it is
haunted. 1t is said that when it
rains and the wind blows around
the Alamo, the scene of the massa-
ere, it is visited by the spirits OF
Crockett and Bowie, whose measur-
ed tread can be heard about the
old building,
The Alamo is in dilapidated con-
dition. The upper room is separat-
ed from the lower one by loose
floor, and there are numerous wood
en- posts supporting it, The floor
Of the lower room consists of loose
boards, laid on light sills, which
rattle when one walks over them.
1t is thought impossible for the
noise heard by the guard to be pro-
duced by rats or any kind of ami
mails,
Not long while ago small ad-
dition was built, and it has been u.s.
ed as a sub-police station. 1t is
since the police have occupied a
part of the structure that the
manifestations are said to have oc-
Cured.
That part Of the building where
the police station is located filed
up what was formerly a hollow
space on the side where the Mexi-
cans finally broke in and slaughter
ed the defenders. The window is
not very large but has doubled
iron bars across it, and the wall is
five feet thick. This window opens
directly from the room where two
officers who are detailed at the sta
tion sit,
Adjoining the room is a small
cell, which is used for the tempor-
airy confinement of prisoners, A
number of desperate prisoners
were confined in this cell at one
time, and they were nearly fright
ened to death by the appearance
Of trio of ghostly figures in their
midst one dark, rainy night, The
forms and features of the ghosts
were recognized as being those Of
Crockett, Bowie and Travis, and
they disappeared through the solid
stone wall when approached by one
of the prisoners who was more dar-
ing than the others, These prison
ers also heard walking and the rat
tling Of muskets and chains on the
floor above, They told the story of
their remarkable experiences, but
it has been almost forgotten by the
people of San Antonio until reviv-
ed by recent occurrences.
The story as told by one of the
police officials is that soon after
the station was opened he was
standing alone near the door lead
ing into the street one night about
1 o'clock, when he thought he
heard someone walking in the main
hall Of the building, He had never
heard the story Of the structure
being haunted, and his first thought
was that someone, belated by the
heavy rain, sought refuge there.
He went to the window and looked
through the grating into the dark
room and asked who was there,
There was no response, but the
walking continued, and at times
groans as of some one In terrible
pain, could be heard. This sound
seemed to come from the small
room where Bowie was killed, The
mysterious sounds continued during
theremainder Of the night, t,-[Stutt'
