From Wednesdays Paper.

The new records which the
mighty Mississippi is constantly
making all go to prove that the
theory upon which its great
levee system Is based is wrong.
The levees were undertaken IN
the belief that combining the wa
ter would force it to wash out a
deeper channel in the river but
every few years the river reaches
a higher point titan ever before.
showing that either the channel
is filing up or that the MISSISSIPPI
pi has become the watershed for
a larger area than ever. Already
engineering science has turned
its attention to the solution of the
matter and various methods are
suggested One method of re-
lief offered is to cut canals and
outlets, to send a part of this
enormous volume of water into
sections and areas which could
be oyerflowed with little damage
while another plan is for the gov
eminent to expend its millions
in building safety mounds of ref
uge throughout this overdowed
district instead of extending the
levee system. How TO control
the Mississippi is one of the
greatest engineering problems
which has ever been undertaken
and it is beginning to appear
now that the present plan of con
tining it is a failure.

Invited To Go To GreenyiIIe.

The meeting of Union Lodge
No. 35, [. O. 0. f. last Monday
night was a memorable one for
the order in this section. Not
only were large number of the
mem bers of the local lodge pres
ent but there were delegations
from Buttahatchie lodge, New
Hope lodge, Macon lodge, Ridge
ley lodge at Starkville and other
lodges while the Grand Master
John L. Buckley, of Enterprise,
and Past Grand Master Simon
F'reid, of Starkville, were also
present.
The purpose of the visit of
these grand officers was to see
the degree team work with the
view of having it exemplify the
secret work before the meeting
of the Grand Lodge in May at
Greenville. The team conferred
the initiatory degree upon Hon. A.
A. Kincannon and after seeing
the work Grand Master Buck
ley extended the invitation which
the local members had hoped
and looked for. It means that
twenty odd members of the 10
cal lodge will go to Greenville
free at that time and insures for
them a pleasant trip.
After the work of the meet
ing was over a pleasant session
xx7ac- Hol<7 vIaso1a shout oIIzr
were made by the Grand Master,
Messrs. Simon Freid, H. M. La
nier, G. L. Lincoln. VIM. Ward of
Starkville, O. p. Brown. L. W.

Phillips of Dow, Judge Jas. T.

ing was one of the most enjoy
able which has been held in the
lodge in a long time.

The meeting at West Point of
a numb Der of prominent educa-

most important matters before
the people of the State and any
movement calculated to improve
either is to be welcomed.

Sugar Beet Notes.

Over 100000 has been paid out by
Chesaning banks this season to persons
employed in beet fields.
The American Sugar Refining Co., of
New York, the sugar trust, is now in
control of both beet and cane sugars to
the extent that the company can dictate
the prices. AS an evidence of the
sweeping power of this gigantic corpora
tion, it has arbitrarily advanced the
market ON sugar 80 cents per hundred
within the past three weeks. The
price of sugars is now 80 cents per hun
dred higher than one year ago at this
time.
Reports from every locality in the
Saginaw valley indicate that the beet
crop this season will be a record breaker
1t said that the beets never looked so
we'll and if warm weather comes the re-
mainder of the month the richest and
best crop ever harvested will be the re-
suit of this years operations.

Exciting Council Meeting.

There was an exciting council meet
ing Monday night. The question of al
lowing the wall of the Catholic school
where it is although it projects twelve
inches into the street, was taken up.
FIR Slane was present, and during a
dialogue with Mayor Arnold, who has
been active in an effort to move the wall
accused that gentleman of telling what
was not true.
After considerable debate, the council
by vote of to 1, decided to leave the
wall just where it is.
The south Washington paving grade
was established. The only change is to
raise the Ann Arbor tracks about nine
inches. The culvert under the Grand
Trunk must be lowered so that Com
stock Creek will drain South Owosso,
and proceedings to force its adjustment
will be begun at once against the Grand
Trunk.
The o. e. 9. E. Co. asked authority
from the council to run its cars on West
Main street all the way to the Michigan
Central. The city refused to go on
record directing the street car company
to settle matters with the paving com
pany.
A. M. Bentley was notified that north
Chapman street must be put in good
condition at once. 1t has been torn up
to allow the digging Of drain.
