county on request from the sheriff, to-
day directed another of tho regiments

= company of mounted troops.
A secret conference of the leading
officials of the miners organization was
held at Hazleton. At its conclusion,
President Mitchell said the question OF
calling joint convention had not been
considered. He added that out OF
142. 900 mineworkers. only about 5000
are at work, and these, he said, would
be out in short time. The time limit
of the Lackawanna Company's offer of
increased wages will expire tomorrow.

determination to pay no heed to the
offer.

MILLIONS FOR LEvEEs.

why Not Use Portion OF This Money
for Reservoirs?
The history of levee construction on
the Mississippi river has been long
one. The first levee was begun in
17l7, which was, when completed, one
mile long, erected to protect New Or
leans, then a mere village. This levee
was four feet high and l8 feet across at
the top. 1t was not, however, until
after Louisiana had been cedel to the
United States that levee construction
was begun on large scale. As the
work progressed up the river and addi.
tional basins and bottoms were en-.
closed. the levees necessarily increased
in height. The average height of the
levees i'm Louisiana above New Orleans,
is now between IL and l3 feet, and this
heigh- proved insufficient in the great
food OF 1897. This food indicates to
the official engineers that three or four
ieet additional will be required.
