New Dam for Oxford pitch.

The stockholders of the Oxford
Farmers Ditch Company will hold
a special meeting on July 2Sth to
vote on the proposition to rebuild
its dam in the Arkansas river at the
headgate. This dam was washed
out during the high water last
spring, and now that the river is
low, there is shortage Of water
in the ditch. 1t has been deepened
for short distance from the head
gate and this has given temporary
relief, but new dam is thought to
be positive necessity. The i'm
