The following, from the Owensboro
Inquirer, might apply here as well:
"There is but little use to profess a
desire for the enforcement of the laws
before the first of the coming year
After that time the people will have a
right to demand that all violations Of
the law shall be put upon the same
plane, and that the law shall be en-
forced, vigorously and certainly in
any event"

A writer in Outing says that tho
grizzly bear. like other ferocious ana
! resourceful beasts, has his supersti-
tlous side, which inclines him at
times 10 cowardicc. and 1t was an
accidental play upon his weakness
which enabled a hunter Mr.. James u.
Holmes of Pasadena, Cal, to live to
tell the following story:
In August, 1896, Mr. Holmes was
chatting with guide mp among the
Coast Range Mountains I'm san Joa-
quln valley. California. As they talk.

Holmes.

cracking became louder.

said Holmes, softly
Both men were on their foct wait-
Ing. Mr.. Holmes had a rifle In his
hands. and he ana the guide stood
watching the thickct above them-
whence the cracking sound came. As
they looked. the gray nose of griz-
ely was protrudod through the foliage
and the men stepped backward. MIR.
Holmes Is a crack shot but he had
never had experience with grizzlies.
However, the nose OF tho bear made
fine mark. and he raised his rife

yards from the bear. Just as he was

grizzlies thrust their heads through
the thickct toward the men. The
guide turned pale.

Mr.. Holmes lowered his rifle.
Run for tho hin, Run for your

Mr. Holmes did not catch the in

IMPROVING THE OHIO.

The effort to improve the Ohio riv-
er has not diminished in the least, and
the Ohio Valley Improvement sssoci-
alton, through Colonel John L.Vsnce,
of Cincinnati, president Of the yassoci-
alton, is doing good work in many
of the larger Ohm river towns by sd-
dressing those interested in the move.
Colonel vsnce's arguments in favor
of deeper channel cannot but con-
vince. 1t is national matter, for the
vast increases in traffic that would re-
suit from the nine foot channel would
be felt all over the country in time.
II not only means great deal TO Ken
tucky--this ION to Cairo" move, but
to every other state bordering on the
Ohio river as well.
The Ohio river originates more
freight alone than any similar stream
in the entire world.
A Louisville paper says Of Colonel
Vance's talk there:
Colonel Vance then took up the
great freight tonnage of the tributaries
of the Ohio, which, added to that of
the Ohio, amounts to over 10000, 900
tons per year.
The question of coal transportation
on the river was spoken of, ana Colo
mel Vance showed that to have carried
by rail the 30, 900, 900 bushels of coal
which came down on the last rise,
would have required $4,000 railroad
cars, or q train over 500 miles long.
Kentucky was the first state in the
union to move in this matter of river
improvement. In 1920, Mr. Johnson,
member of congress from Kentucky,
secured an appropriation of $4,000 for
the improvement of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers. Two years later Pres.
ident Munroe reported to congress that
the $4,000 had been judiciously ex-
pended and the rivers improved.
Colonel Vance discussed at length
the aims of the Ohio Valley Improve
ment association. He deplored the
lack of interest in the work by the
river men themselves.
1.-THE plan adopted by the associa-
tion," said Colonel Vance, was to
secure a survey Of the river. We went
10 congress and secured the survey
from Pittsburg to the mouth of the
Little Miami. We have tried to have
locks and movable dams, where most
needed. Through the influence Of this
association, we have had more legis-
Iation for protection Of the river and
the establishment of hsrbor lines. We
have secured the doubling Of the gov
ernmont appropriation for snsg boats
"Thus far we have secured over
$4,000, 900 from congress for the i'm
movement of the Ohio and its tributa-
ries. We had IN wait five years fer
our survey. 1t will take 81 locks and
dams to give the desired stage of wa
ter We have already secured thir'
teen of these, and | don't think we will
have TO wait many more years to get
the rest. / believe there are some
here who will live to see all this work
completed.
1--WE have now got the business in
terest of the Ohio valley at our back
and the work is going steadily for
ward"

has not visited Paducah, unless IL be
that he knows we are all right with

This thoroughfare is 100 feet wide for
nearly 400 feet, and if it were gravel

property owners would be enormous
The committee has finally decided TO
gravel the street 81 feet on each side,
leaving 12 feet for the pavements and
plot of As feet in the center for

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The senate to-
day had the army appropriation bill, under

bill Mr.. Hale (Me.) and Mr.. Cockrell (Mo.)
discussed the general STAFF bill. the former
declaring that IT. was general legislation
and had no place in the bill. Mr., CockreI
insisted otherwise. 80.
Mr.. Quay CPa.) INTERCEPTED the remark
that the provision was properly in the bill.
The statehood bill was up for a short
time and Messrs. Bard Cali and Quarles
Cwis.) spoke in opposition to II,
After a brief executive session the senate
adjourned until tomorrow out of respect to
the memory OF the late Representative
Rumple (Ia.).
When the senate met Mr.. Hale CMe.)
called attention to an alleged, combination
among attorneys to maintain excessive fees
In claims filed with the Spanish treaty
claims commission.
These, he said, had been placed at sS Ia
per cent, as shown by the report of the
commission. He did not suppose that the
COMMITTEES would report the fun amount
of the claims-S6k 900 ,0OO-hut that even II
a reasonable amount was reported the at

Mr. Berry (Ark) said ne never heard OF a
more remarkable defense Of an ofhcer than
Mr. Proctor (vt.) made Of Captain Browuslk
mentioned as having been connected with
the death OF Father Augustin. Captain
Browneil. he said. had admitted giving the
water cure to Father Augustin, and yet the
autopsy is said to have shown that he died
OF fatty degeneration Of the heart.
Father Augustln. he declared. had been
murdered, and yet Captain Brownell was
to be held up as the highest specimen OF
the American soldier or American oficer.

phasis. said: 81
The senator from Vermont defended Cap
tainuBrownell and continues to- do-so. and
resentss the Implication of the senator. from
Arkansas that he was guilty of murder.

Mr.. Hale. when the provision creating, a

Ing appropriated. should do to earn. those
salaries.
