Undoubtedly Brookville, and
Franklin county did their duty and
were as generous as Wayne and I'm
ion counties or any of the towns
along the line of the canal, but after
great exertion / have learned of but
two IN the county who took stock in
the canal. These were Graham
Hanna and James Wright
In September of 1889 Richmond
and Brookville papers contained adj
vertisements calling for bids for
constructing sections !, 2 and 3, near
Richmond; -. near Arlington; 20,
near Brownsville: 10, near Fairfield,
and y, near Brookyille. The adver-
tisement states that the sections to
be let "embrace a number Of me-
chanical structures. consisting prin-
cipally of dams and locks, with some
heavy bluff excavations. Specif-
cations Of the work were to be post
eft at DR.. Matchett's tavern in Alb
ington, DR.. Mulford's tavern in
in Brownsville, Abijah Dubois tav-
ern in Fairfield, d. Huffman's tav-
ern in Brookville, and at the compa-
ny's Office in Richmond The let
tings took place as advertised, except
section -, near Brookville, which,
owing to the heavy excavations, was
not let. I cannot learn of any work
done near Brookville, but on section
40, near Fairfield, the contractors.
Henry and Harvey Pierce, excavated
about one and one-half miles of the
canal down the east side of the river
to the farm now owned by Misses
Sallie and Missouri Hanna. Traces
of excavation can also be plainly seen
on the farm of James Blew Sec
tions |, 2 and 3, near Richmond, were
let, and from a mile and a half to
two miles of excavation made. No
use Of these excavated portions was
ever made until 1860, when Leroy
Larsh erected a erilst mill on the
portion near Richmond, which is yet
in operation.
At the "breaking of ground for
the Whitewater Canal John Finley,
| editor of the Richmond Palladium,
quoting Moore's "Meeting of the
Waters,' with changes to suit the
occasion, said: "The last picayune
shall depart from my fob ere the East
and West Forks relinquish the job"
Whether the last picayune departed
from the editors fob or not the pres
ent writer can not say, but undoubt-
eddy the East Fork relinquished the
job. and Richmond failed to become

FOOD
NOT MEDICINE.

If all the treatments for
consumption were put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm
provement over the old treat
ment of rest, fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
Improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tent to make that gain. Peo-
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion-it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen Scots
Emulsion take hold of a pa
tent and bring about a
change for the better inside
Of a week. 1t always helps
even the most stubborn cases.

Quarterly Magazine of History
AS one travels the highway be-
tween Richmond and Brookville he
may find at intervals almost obliter-
ated evidences of an old canal dItch
upon which no small labor was once
expended. The history of this ditch
is sunk in oblivion is chapter lost
from the story Of internal improve
ments in Indiana. 1T is not included
among the works provided for by the
internal improvement law of 1886,
and seems to have been taken up by
the State an sort Of side work in
connection with the more prominent
Whitewater Canal for in the
sub-joined sketch, we are told that
the Board of Internal Improvements
was to '!use the local engineers then
employed on the Whitewater Canal,
and to incur no extra expense for
the State 1t should lie understood
that the said Whitewater Canal,
which was completed and used. fol-
lowed the West Fork of the White
water river, contributing materially
to the development of the valley,
while the Richmond and Brookville
Canal was to do the same service for
the East Fork.
So far as we know there is nowhere
else any published account of this
forgotten enterprise, and no record
of the men who promoted it. AT our
suggestion some years ago Mr.. James
NJ. Miller of Brookville, now deceas
ed. undertook to rescue from various
sources the information that he has
embodied in his article. An invalid
for the greater part Of his life from
ossifed Joints of the lower limbs,
helpless, and dependent almost en-
tirely upon the services of devoted
sister, his work of getting obscure
facts was sadly handicapped. Tt
was a long and ardous process for
him, and that he gathered together
so much is monument to his perse-
verence and patience Ed.
Among the first settlements in
southeast Indiana were those along
the fertile valley of the East Fork
Of Whitewater River and its tributa-
ries. The settlers were thrifty,
energetic people, and their industry
soon produced surplus. AT quite
an early day fatboats were built at
Dunlapsville and Quakertown and
loaded with the products of the farms
and when rise in the river occurred
We're run opt into the current and
floated to New Orleans. / remem-
Der hearing my mother tell Of seeing
a flatboat, in the spring of 1910 or
1920, shoot Bassett's mill dam at
Fairfield on its way to New Orleans,
that had been built and loaded with
provisions at Dunlapsville by George
Newland, father of the blind must
elan of that name. long known in In
dianapolis.
Possessing the push and energy
that they did it is no wonder that
these people were among the first to
advocate internal improvements.
Such improvement was very early
agitated and by 1894 the scheme for
canal down the East Fork began to
assume form. On August of that
year, a meeting was held at Richmond
to consider the praeticability of con-
tructing a canal from that city to
intersect The proposed Whitewater
Canal at or near Brookville. This
was followed by meeting in Brook
