RAPPORT Of Examening Committee
To the Hon. o. W. H. Wright, Judge
of the Court Of Common Pleas, Hook

To the Hon. o. W. H. Wright, Judge
of the Court Of Common Pleas, Hook
ing county, Ohio:
Your committee for the exmination
of the report of the financial transao-
tions OF the commissioners of Hook
ing county, Ohio, for the year ending
september 1st, 1902, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
We find that said report is not
made in conformity with Seo 9l7,
Rev. Stat. of Ohio, the Section
which provides for the making OF
said report. That Section requires
the Commissioner to make DE-
TAILED report in writing, item
ized as 20 amount, to whom paid
and for what purpose. Said report
In great many instances contains
In one Item number OF different
bills for services and materials per-
formed and furnished on different
dates and does not show the amount
paid to each person or party, and
does not show for what paid.
We further find that the Infirmary
Directors have not properly itemized
their travelling expenses which they
are allowed under Section 1858. Rev.
Stat. of Ohio. By an examination
of that Section IL will be found that
each Infirmary Director should pre-
sent an itenlized account of his SER
vices and expenses in the discharge of
his official duties to the Board of
Directors, which after being approx
ed by eaid Board, shall be Submitted

No Plot AGAINST the President.

Washington, Nov. 19,-Chief Wilkie
of the United States secret service,
in speaking Of Mrs. Lena Doxheimers
story of a plot to kill President Roose-
velt, said that a searching investiga.
tion by operatives of the secret SER
vice proved conclusively that she was
mistaken as to facts. Chief Wilkie is
convinced that there has been no plot
against the life OF the president such
as MrS. Doxheimer describes. He be-
lieves, however, That she is an honest
woman and sincere in her beliefs.

Slough Landing Levee, and designated by the
Government Survey as the Reelioot Levee.
This levee is now an assured fact, and will re

Engineers have estimated the cost OF the

have vital interest in the completion OF the
leyee. have subscribed 100000; the people at
the Hickman end, $4,000 whilst the United
States Government by congressional appro-
priation. has voted 100000 in aid OF the work.

with proper cultivation, is from 70 to IS bushels
to the acre, while in some favored places IS

Corn is chiefly grown on the bottom lands,
where the best results achieved, but is also
cultivated generally on all farming lands. On
the bottom lands from 90 to 100 bushels to
the acre Is an average crop. the yield varying
according to the fertility OF the soil. the care

the usual conditions winch obtain everywhere.
While 100 bushels TO the acre must not bc con
sidered a usual crop even on the most favored
lands II is. on the other hand by no means
a rarity. On the up and highlands 90 bushels

Land encrcling Hickman, when not othe--

being the prevailing quality; and as a prolific
producer OF this quality OF hay II Is scarcely
anywhere exceeded.
Vegetables OF all kinds thrive exceedingly
in this vicinity. and here is the home OF the
finest melon raised anywhere on earth. This
luscious and healthiul plant has not been album

transportation to rapidly convey II to the large

done away with by the recently established

by, to secure his specimens OF fruits for ex.
hibit at state expositions, which custom he
also followed at the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
from the range OF hills running southwest from
Hickman; and with these fruits Mr.. Samuels
invariably carried off first prize notably at
the Worlds Fair, where he secured diploma
for the state OF Kentucky with an exhibit from
the iar-famed French Fruit Farm
Mr.. Samues often told the writer that no
section OF the United States could produce
more perfect fruit than the hills in the vicinity
OF our city, not even the Ozarks, the land
OF the big red apple" and he was the
knowledged authority on fruit growing in
southwest Kentucky.
The writer has given twenty years of the
flower OF his life to the study and propagation
of tree fruits, and the result to-day is a mag
nihcent orchard of thirty acres, excelling all
others known to him in thrift. size and beauty,
and he has seen in his journeyngs hundreds
of miles OF fruit trees.

tced no finer and more profitable calling can
be chosen by the man with the hoe"
The virgin soil OF the hills around Hickman
is a black loan, especially iriabe, and is the
ideal soil for the growth of fruit and vegeta-
bles. Wild fox grape vines are often found as
large as one foot in diameter. Grape growing
is in its infancy, but the indications are that
grapes can be grown mere that would rival
those grown on the sunny southern slopes of
Italy France and California

there have been partial failures.
The marvellous possibilities of the adaptation
OF our soil to fruit growing has not been de-
veloped, but these opportunities must soon be
seen and utilized. My prediction is that in
twenty-five years the foothills adjacent to
Hickman will be one vast fruit and vegetable
garden, exceeding the valley of the Nile or
the ar-amed gardens of Babylon.
The natural grade lies ready for use, ravines
will be damned. conserving the winter rain

age reservoir system VIII be necessary as is
evidenced by the fact that there have been but
three normal rainfalls in twenty years.

tunities awake and develop the untold treasures
that lie at our feet? Or will men from afar
snatch the prize from us2 That these advan-
tages are here, no thinking, observing individ-
ual will deny, and some one, at an early day,
will develop them and receive bounteous re-
ward
