Lock navigation is not an expert

thirty feet, or less than those hereto

The delays due TO lockages are more

Holmes Didn't Know.

After the machine bearing the Long
worths had departed. Holmes. the
butler, was quizzed as TO its possible
destination. That individual. however.
maintained the obdurate and unknOw-
ing silence that since the arrival OF
the L0ngworths has been a perfect bull
wark to all those with too much curiosi-
ty He simply stated that he did not
know the destination of the car.
Leaving the Friendship estate far
in its wake, the touring car turned of
the old Tenleytown road and entered
Lovers Lane. Speeding through that
thoroughfare II soon emerged into the
Chevy Chase road and from there made

Shortly before 10 o'clock the door was
opened and Mr.. LongwoTth stepped out

The last part of last week and
the first part of this have been
quite troublesome and to some
extent damaging to ranchmen on
the river. Probably Ira Cline
has been the heaviest loser by
reason of the high water. At
present it is believed that
damage at his place has
been stopped owing to the
large amount of work expended
at that point. Mr.. Merchant. J.
R. Williams, Melvin Lane and
others have been industriously
fighting and at present seem to
have the situation fairly we'll in
hand. More than ever is it proven
that some systematic work should
be done to straighten the river
and thoroughly dixie the banks
this fall when the river is low.
Bottom land is very valuable and
the river should be compelled to
keep its channel. Like all her
shallow streams subject to spring
high water it will have to be inn
proved and its banks strength
ened to secure safety while the
SHOWS are melting. The matter
has been delayed long enough
and the town and county should
get together on plan this fall
for protecting the river front near
town at least. This work could
and doubtless would be extended
by ranchmen to protect their
property farther up and lower
down.
