Private Corporation Wants to Expend
Million to Improve CUNT er-
land River.
ASKS GOVERNMENT FOR ALL

Washington, ID. c., Feb. l9-If con-
gress will undertake to spend money
to make the "navigable" portion of
the Cumberland river navigable, a
private corporation will undertake to
improve the so-called unnavigsble por-
tion for nearly 30 miles above what is
called the head Of navigation by the
government engineers. This stipend
Gus plan of CO operation with the fed
eral government WAS unfolded in the
address made by L. <. Bryant, Of
Burnside, Ky, before the rivers and
harbors committee of the house, and
so struck the members of the commit
tee that they asked for the immediate
action submission of the proposition in
writing.
Mr.. Bryant and his assc icate, G..
W. Cole. of Cincinnati, were before
the committee in the interest of the
proposed appropriation for the compile
tion of Lock 81 ON the Cumberland,
30 miles below Burnside. The com.
pletion of this look and dam, withou,
regard to other proposed improve
ments on the river, would insure 9
nine-foot harbor at Burnside the yeal
round. If the government will ex'
pend the quarter Of a million dollars
necessary to this work, Mr.. Bryant
company will agree TO improve The
river for many miles above Burnside
out of private funds.
Mr.. Bryant says that above Burn
side, on the banks of the Cumberland
are eight veins of drift coal, four Il
six feet deep each. of exactly the same
conformation as the Kanawhs Goa
fields of West Virginia. II harbol
is assured at Burnside it will be pos
sible to load barges there in the sum
mer, and then when a tide comes t.
tow them down the Cumberland Il
the Ohio and Mississippi. witho on,
this it will be impraoticable to develop
those coal mines on any large scale, a,
cheap transportation cannot be Sc.
cured.
To get cheap transportation the
capitalists back Of the plan propose to
secure . franchise from the federal
government, to work under the scru-
tiny Of the war department. and to ex-
pend approximately q million dollars
for the improvement of the river from
the coal veins down to Burnside.
whether the federal government
will enter into . cooperation with a
mining company is question yet to
be opened and considered. The prop
osition will be made to congress
through the rivers and harbors COM
mittee by Mr.. Bryant.

Of this scheme, the GOAL market Of the
Mississippi valley probably will be

Representative w. c. Clarke
Reaches Paducah.
Has Erysipelss But May Recover Un'

Set in.
UNCONSCIOUS MUCH OF TIME

Capt w. q. CLARK, representative
from McCracken county in the Ken
lucky legislat ore, who was taken seri-
ously i'll in Frankfort, was brought
home this morning, arriving at $3.50
O'Clock with his son, Mr.. Charles
Clark, who went TO Frankfort yester-
day.
Capt. Clark stood the trip remarka-
bly, we'll. and is resting comfortably at
his home on South Fourth street this
afternoon. He is suffering from cry
sipelss, and not from pneumonia as I
first reported. His physicians here
think that if the erysipelas, which is in
his nose. can be arrested he will re-
cover, but his condition is very pre- ca.
rious and death may come at any time
He 10 unconscious most of the time,
only having occasional lucid intervals.
This afternoon there was no change
in the condition of Capt. Clark re.
ported. He is unconscious most of
the time. One Of the principal reasons
he was brought home was that in or
der, IL he cannot recover, he will be
at home when the worst comes. His
condition might have become such
in day or two that it would have
been impossible to move him.
Capt. Clark's many friends, howev-
err, hope that he will rally and soon
recover.

SIT.
NOTES ABOUT CITY HALL

The petition eI parte filed by Attor-
ney Mark Worten, as city solicitor,
several weeks ago to test the validity
of the city improvement bond issue,
street improvement, will probably be
acted on in few days.
The petition was filed some time
age, but Judge Husbands did not act
on il and Judge William Reed when
he came into office found so much ac-
cumulsted business that he has been
unable to consider il. He will act on
the petition in few days, however, it
is stated on good authority.
The finance committee Of both
boards recently ordered the new City
Solicitor, Attorney puryear, to bring
suit TO test the validity of the street
improvement bonds, but no action
probably will be taken until Judge
Reed makes decision in the other
case.
The question Of floating the bonds
will come up for consideration as soon
as the matter of the validity of the is
sue is settled, and it is anticipated
some little trouble will result. The
county of McCracken has been trying
to float for more than year 800, 900
of bonds and the lowest bid that has
been secured was per cent. and this
was rejected. The lowest bid on these
bonds since the per cent. bid has
been just z per cent higher.
The poctetbook found by Officer
John Hessian at the I. q. depot sew
eral days ago has been claimed. The
pocketbook contained SIT and was the
property of Mr.. Jones, who lives with
Mr.. Pete Darlington, Of Seventh and
Jones street. Mr.. Jones called at the
city hall and fully identified the prop
erty, telling the exact amount Of
money the purse contained. 1t Was
turned over to him and he was most
profuse in his thanks to the popular
officer who found it end turned it over
to Captain Woods to wait the claim
ant.

OF this city is being pushed TO the front
as candidate for the legislative nom
. inauon, which Is due the northern end
OF the county and which is generally con-
cedcd by the Republican party to this

worked up In his behalf. Mr.. Johnson
has served the public several times In

strength If he decides To make the run.
There are two others mentioned for the
same position however in this vicinity
James ClawsOn Of EphTaim being one and
the other being L. G. Jensen, leader OF
the Jensen faction OF two years ago. Mr..
Ciawson has been an avowed candidate
FOR weeks and has been doing all that
was possible in his behalf Mr.. Jensen
mas not uneQuiVOcally committed himself
as yet. but IL is understood that unless
there are many changes made he win
be in the race for keeps soon. If he does
set in Il means more trouble because of
the feelings which have come down from
the old fight. In fact. it seems to be
the idea Of those who are fathering the
Johnson boom to put their man in as
compromise candidate. for the purpose of
keeping Jensen and Candland out of the
scrap, and thus patch up one of the
party. Candland. IL is said is willing
to drop out in favor of some other good
man, but II Is pretty safe 10 say that II
