MISSOURI A NEWS
To Reclaim River Lands.

A delegation of citizens of the Co
iumbia bottoms, in the extreme north
ern part of st. Louis county, called on
the county court at Clayton to solicit
its aid in the collection of 10000, estf-
mated to be necessary for diverting the
channel of the Missouri river near its
mouth and retaining thousands OF
acres Of valuable land. For some time
the current of the stream has been
washing against the bank on the st.
Louis county side and carrying it
away at the rate of about 16 feet per
day. This condition exists for several
miles.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Bartholdt, an engineer from the war
department surveyed the river at that
point. His estimate was that 10000
would be needed to turn the current
and build dykes. Local engineers esti-
mate that 5000 acres of land, valued at
about 5000 per acre, have been washed
away by the river within the past If
teen years.
1t is the purpose Of the property
owners to secure an appropriation from
the county and supply the balance nee
essary by popular subscription.
Columbia Site Trouble Settled.
The difficulty over the site for the
new post Office at Columbia has been
adjusted, and title to- the ground is
now vested in the government. The
condemnation proceedings brought
against a portion of the site, which
wa owned by three parties, one Of
whom could not give a clear title, has
terminated favorably. The site cost
$4,950. Now that the title is clear and
in the government, preparations will at
once be made to begin work on the
construction Of the post Office building,
for which congress has appropriated
$500. The plans and specifications
will be prepared at the earliest oppor-
tunity. This was one of the post Of
flee sites involved in the federal grand
jury investigation at Hannibal last
winter, in which several indictments
were returned. 1t is expected, however,
that there will be no more court pro-
ceedings to hinder progress.

stealing beer, in Kansas City. When
reprimanded Terry attacked M. G.
Helm with a knife, inficting slight
cuts on his hands. The wounded man
ran to his Office for a revolver, when
Terry attacked Ferdinand Helm, cut
ting him first in the wrist and then
driving his knife into his thigh to the
bone. M. G. Helm and J. ]. Helm, the
latter president of the brewery, then

Raise More Potatoes.

Farmers of Ward county, do
you raise enough potatoes for
your own use? Do you have any
to spare? How much time did
you spend in planting your po-
tatoes and how large a piece OF
| ground did you use? These are
a few questions which we wish
you to ask yourself. We know
| OF no crop which will yield so
we'll as the potato crop in this
state and it can be put in with
SO little work. How long will it
take you to plant five or ten
acres OF potatoes? We daresay
the work can be done in a week
or not more than two weeks.
With q little care as to the kind
OF seed planted and the way it
is put into the ground. it should
yield 100 bushels to the acre.
Often potatoes yield two or
three the times that number. II.
C. Smith Of Elk Point, S. d., har-
vested about II, 900 bushels OF
Early Ohio potatoes from 80
acres OF ground and he has sold
S, 500 bushels of them for 20 cts
a bushel. We believe that if the
farmers do not put too much de-
pendence in the flax crop, they
will all be better of. Once in a
number OF years, the flax yields
at an enormous rate, but when
it don't, the farmers suffer the
consequences. But from what
we can learn from talking with
the old timers, the potato crop
has never been a failure in Ward
county.
