Gen. Casey in a report of the oper-

harbor improvements contiguous TO
this section. These works. which are
under the supervision of Capt. W. L.
Marshall, are treated as far as the
Hennep'n canal is concerned, as fol-
lows:
1t is expected the western section
of the canal will be completed ready
for navigation before the close of the
present working season. There has
been expended 1853, s69. which has
resulted in the requirement of the
right of way for Observation-Disclosures

work there; in the location on the
ground and the preparation of plats
and descriptions of all lands needed
for the eastern section as far as to
the feeder junction and the acquire
ment of title to the first eight miles
of the right of way by condemnation.
Descriptions and abstracts of title of
lands required for the next eight
miles are in the hands of the district
attorney. and for the remainder of
the "a miles of this section ready to
submit to the department of justice
to the necessary proceedings to ac-
quire title. Nothing has been done

therefore difficult to estimate accur-

the county to be about 500. The re-
publican Legislative ticket is carried
by about LOO. while Hemeuway
will have 1000 for sheriff, Tittering-
ton 1,4OO for treasurer, McKeever
1,2OO for superintendent. and Kohler
$500 for clerk. Judge Adams had
no opposition for judge, nor did
Fisher for senator. The state ticket
will carry the county by 1920 to
$500, decided republican gain.
