While large sums OF government
money are being spent in making
Trinity river navigable the farmers
of Ellis county have taken the mat
ter Of navigating Waxahachie creek
in their own hands. They are going
right ahead constructing boats to
be used in transporting supplies
down the creek TO their farms.
The first trip was made Sunday
afternoon and IL proved entirely
successful. Monday the boats were
brought up the creek and loaded
with supplies for the second trip.
Mr.. Bell, who was In charge of
small skitf, left yesterday morning
with his boat loaded with feedstuff
and supplies for his family. A few
miles below the city the boat struck
drift and was upset, the entire
load going to the bottom of the
creek. Mr.. Bell had narrow es-

Hauling Supplies On a Sled.

A few days ago Rev. F. p. Ray
offered the suggestion that sleds
would be the proper things for haul
ing supplies during the muddy con-
dition Of the roads, as they would
not sink in the mud as deep as
wagon wheels. Yesterday a farmer
attracted considerable attention by
driving into town with a pair of
mules hitched TO a big sled, which
he loaded with feedstud and
groceries. He said this mode of
transportation was much better than
a WAGON.
