the River Commission, has been
enlisted against the scheme OF
Messrs. Mason & Samuel, of ST.
Louis, to get a contract for dredg-
ing the Mississippi river and free
ing it from sand bars.
There is every indication that this
is job to make money out of an
enterprise that is properly under
the control of the River Commis-
sion, and ii. is to be hoped that Con-
gress will leave the whole matter OF
improving the river to where it
properly belongs. The river, to
which the eyes of the dwellers of
this valley are now turned, is be-
having beautifully. After going
to something over 30 feet on the
guage at Vicksburg, it is coming to
stand. Even those who plant on
the outside of the levee have hopes
of makinga crop undisturbed.
