Marion Boys Defeated.

Last Friday afternoon the Fredo-
MIA and Wilson Steam Laundy teams
crossed bats on the latter's diamond
in this city. Up to and at the close
of the fourth inning Marion boys
had run in three scores and shut
Fredonia out. During the fifth in
ming the Fredonia boys run in seven
scores, this put our boys "up In the

score. The score stood fifteen to
seven in favor of Fredonia at the
close.
This was the laundry boys second
effort and they PLAYED good ball to
have practiced so little. Quite a
number Of "rooters" accompanied
the visiting team, perhaps that is
why they did such good PLAYING.
However, our boys are ever backed
with an enthusiastic crowd of specta.

LARGEST IN WORLD


Through the consolidation of sew
eral irrigation Companies in Colorado,
arrangements have been completed
for the construction of the largest
dam iu the world at point nine
miles northwest of Denver. j. G..
White e. Co.. OF New York, who
will build the dam, as well as auxil-
larry works, state that it will have a
length OF nearly a mile and a quar-
ter, height of $50 feet and will
contain 10000, 600 cubic yards Of
material.
The colossal size of this latest
creation of engineering skill will be
realized when it is compared with
the new Croton dam in New York
City water supply system, which
contains less than 1000, 600 cubic
yards, and with the great Roosevelt
irrigation dam in Arizona, the larg-
est Of many big ones being built by
the government, which contains only
$50, 900 cubic yards.
The Stanley dam, as the new
structure will be known, will i'm
pound 5, 900, 900, 900 cubic feet of
water, a capacity sufficient for the
regular irrigation Of more than 100,
900 acres of land. The flow of five
rivers on the eastern slope Of the
rockies will be confined in the great
reservoir which the dam will form.
The dam and auxiliary systems,
thus far projected for collecting and
distributing the water, will cost mp
ward of $4,000, 900, and although
the project constitutes the greatest
irrigation development yet advanced
by private enterprise IN this country.

L0UISv|LLE'S new MAYOR
Robert Worth Bingham Appointed Mayor Of
Louisville Last Wsek-StockhoIder
In Crittenden Co. Mines.

Governor Beckham last week APP
pointed Robert Worth Bigham Mayor
of Louisville to fill out the term Of
Paul e. Barth, who lost his Office by
a recent decision of the Court Of
Appeals. Mayor Bigham is we'll
known to many Of our people, having
made frequent visits here to look
after his mining interests. He came
here first with Mr.. R. d. Dresher
and became interested in the Column
bia Mining Co. Later he was elect
ed a director IN the Southern Lead
and Zinc Co., being one of the pro-
moters and largest stockholders in
that company. Of him the "Louis-
vile Evening Post said the day
after his appointment:
Robert Worth Bingham is a
North Carolinian by birth, his natal
city being Asheville He is in the
prime of manhood, being thirty-six
years of age. His early education
was received in military school at
Asheville, of which his father is COM
mandant. He later graduated with
high honors from the University of
North Carolina, and took a post
graduate course in the University of
Virginia.
Returning to his home, he be-
came an instructor in his father :
school, an institution that was found
ed by his great-grandfather in 1893.
For four years he occupied the chair
of Ancient Language.
"'He married Miss Eleanor Miller,
a daughter of Samuel A. Miller, of
Louisville, in May 1896 and remov-
ing to this city matriculated in the
Law Department Of the University
of Louisville, taking both courses in
one year and graduating high in the
class.
''Mr. Bingham entered the law
Office of j. T. O'Neal in 1879 and
continued to practice in his chosen
profession in that connection until
1900, when he founded partnership
with W. W. Davis, his present
associate. under the firm name of
Bingham Il Davis.
The vacancy in the office of
County Attorney, caused by Samuel
b. Kirby becoming Judge of the
Chancery Court, Second Division, was
filled by the appointment of Mr..
Bingham. This was in January 1904
In the fall he was reelected to fill
out the remainder of the term and in
1905, was his own successor in the
office.
During the recent lid agitation,
Mr.. Bingham was chosen by the
Governor to carry out his Sunday
closing policy after the regular auth
critics had proven their inability to
do so. His last act in his official
capacity as County Attorney was the
exposing of the alleged irregularities
in the contracts for the Courthouse. !"
