The grand jury empaneled for the

to submit to your honor, the following
report:
That they have carefully examined
into all violations of the law that have
come to their knowledge where it has
been possible to get the evidence
and where ever the evidence justified
it, have returned true bills Of indict-
ment. That they have examined the
county Jail and find the same neatly
and clearly kept, and have also exam
ined the County Auditors books, and
insofar as they are able to ascertain
they are properly kept and show all
receipts and disbursements of county
funds.
Although the board OF supervisors
have not up to this time made any
provisions for hiring county prisoners

the opinion OF the grand jury that the
neglect to do so was due to no desire

diate action, which we earnestly re-
commend be done at once and if dis
regarded request your honor at the
next term to call the matter to the at

will be then in a situation to deal with
such failure as q violation Of the law.
We desire to express our cordial APP
proval and appreciation of your hon
or's able and comprehensive charge
to us, and to commend the epeditious
and impartial despatch of business by
your honor. We also desire to express

The proposed draining of the Guy.
Ter Zee, which has been under discus
sion for the past century, is popularity
looked upon as an engineering problem
in contemporary history. The land
that would be reclaimed by this work
would be about $50 square miles. In
comparison the Engineering News re-
fers TO a work in this direction now
being carried out along the Mississippi
which will reclaim a tract of land
900 square miles In extent. The work
Iuf reclaiming the ST. Francis basin,
which lies on the west bank of the
Mississippi, between New Madrid, in
Missouri. and Helena, in Arkansas, is
already well under way. only few
additional miles of levees being neces-
sary to complete the artificial banks
which are to hold In check the flood
waters of the Mississippi. The soil
is an alluyial deposit, and. therefore,
remarkably fertile and capable of the
highest cultivation, comparison Of
the extent of the st. Francis basin
with the combined areas of Rhode
Island and Delaware gives a good idea
of its magnitude. All of this area
was recently overfiowed by the
waters of the Mississippi. With the
exception Of a few gaps there has
been constructed in this work con-
tinuous line of levees some PIP miles
| in length, The work has been done
under the supervision of the st. Fran.
els Levee Boards Of Missouri and
Arkansas, acting III conjunction with
the United States Government. The
expenditures OF the two Boards to.
gether to date amount to about
S1,5Oo,000, while the Government has
expended about $4,000 additional.
Already the reclaimed land has ap-
preciated in value many times its
original valuation, and is now held at
$50 an acre Railroads now intersect
the reclaimed area iii several direct
Ions, numerous Industrial establish
ments have been built, the population
has been doubled and h general pros
perity has appeared where originally
there were only waste swamps.
1t is. however, not only in the ex-
tent of the undertaking that the st.
Francis basin reclamation is notable,
but In the very low cost at which ii
has been accomplished. The work of
lreclaiming about 2500 square miles of
the Nile Valley in Egypt is now being
carried out by the building of dams
at Assounan and Assiont at an esti.
mated cost of $25,000,000, while the
entire reclamation of the $500 square
miles of the st. Francis basin will not
cost more than 100000 all told, OF
only S1430 per square mile. compared

the little monkeys grow less and less
like humans every hour they grow,
our babies turn their backs on the

period of development. The monkey

development in which the child grows

putting distance between himself and
the monkeys, is in infancy and early
