TWO YEARS FOR MRS. CONNELLY

The Grand Rapids News Of last week
in speaking of Mrs Connolly, formerly
Miss Clara Bartlett and later wife of
George Hodgkinson of this city, said =
Mrs. Clara Connolly. who killed
her husband during "a quarrel last
August, was sentenced by Judge
Stuart, in the superior court to two
and not to exceed four years in the De-
troit House of Correction.
With brave demeanor, showing
but little signs of the strain she was
undergoing and without any tears,
Mrs. Connolly stood before the courl
and listened to the kindly words
which preceded those which sealed
her fate $780, --s----s ----.-----' -
The court stated that he believed
that there was a chance for her re-
formation, that he had once thought
of sending her to prison for not less
than two and one-half years but his
more mature deliberations had COM
PEELED him to reduce this sentence. He
declared that the woman had made a
good defense, had been represented by
able counsel aud that possibly he. in
not granting a new trial might have
erred. But ne believed that she had
remained in Jail long enough and
should start her sentence
Mrs Connolly believes that she was
unrightfully convicted but intends
serving her sentence with the hopes she
will gain new trial
Attorney Ellis stated Immediately
after the sentence that he would APP
peal to the supreme court with the
hopes that the case might be heard
during the January term

THOSE LAND FRAUDS.

Years ago, pioneer years, there were
probably more land frauds in Michigan
than in any other state. Often times
purchasers of state land, instead of
high and dry tillable lands, received
swamp acreage through real estate
agencies that prospered and grew fat
decades ago.
Purchasers of these wet and until
liable lands.were given the laugh and
they disposed of them at any price
that was offered.
Today however these same swamp
lands-ar invaluable and the man who
owns them is the man who laughs
Not only are these lands available for
garden truck but for another purpose
which years ago would also have re-
ceived the laugh.
During the last year experiments
have been going on at the NJ. A. G.
Experiments in peppermint oil. and il
has been conclusively proven, although
these experiments were partially a
failure, that muck land is the most
probable and valuable of all lands
The experiments conducted at the
state institution were TO determi ne
whether low OF high lands produced
the most and best grade of pepper
mint oil During an-ordinary season
one acre OF land will produce nearly
two tons of mint vine if the condi-
tions are at all normal Two tons of
mint vine means..2O0 pounds of-pepper-
mint oil and 200 pounds of oil means
about $500 as the the average price of
peppermint oil the last ten years has
lowered around the $3.50 mark.
The experiments conducted at the NJ.
A. G.. while not ideal prove that the
old swamp lands that there we're erst
while scoffed at are a gold mine and
produce quality of fragrant stomach
ache cure that cannot he raised on
high ground.
Furthermore after the oil has been
extracted the mint vines are good for
. variety Of purposes and the object OF
these college experiments has been to
prove that low water covered swan .
lands are not always gold brick. but
may be converted into propositions
that are almost gold mines.

Controlling Flood Waters.

The lone Echo is urging the moor
poration of the valley town, on the
ground that proper system of Ievees
could then be provided for the pro-
lection OF the town against flood
waters, such as have Visited that
section during the recent storms
The policy of building levees fol
protection of the lowland towns is
open to serious objection. lt is
doubtful whether it has afforded per-
manent protection in any instance.
Indeed, it is more apt to. bring,
greater disaster in the end than if no
4egees we4e; built. 1t is natures plan
.ts-oveI tle.S. the valleys in flood time,
and nature brooks no control of her
laws. The. valleys have been made by
the wash of detritus from the highlands
in flood times. 1t is contrary to the.
established order of things to con-
fine the river beds to narrow channels
by means of high. embankments on
either side. Nature 3 way is to raise
the surrounding country hy the
deposit of sediment In corresponding
ratio with the bed of the stream. But
the tendency of the levee method is
to raise the bed Of the river or creek
without any raise of the bordering
lands. The inevitable result of this
process, sooner or later Is that the
bed of the stream is eventually built
mp higher than the lands outside OF
the levees. Eventually, the levee
must give way, and the stream for
sakes It's old channel, and permanent
ly forms new one. The protecting
levees, barriers erected in restraint of
natural forces, become absolutely
worthless, and the costly system must
be started anew. 1t is claimed by
some that the bed. of Sutter creek is
now higher in places than some por-
tions of the streets. There can be but
one, outcome of this condition of
atfairs-the flooding of the low places
in times of overflow. Restraining
levees may postpone the evil day for
time, but cannot remedy the evil.
., A more feasible plan is suggested
IN assisting, rather than trying to
thwart, the course of nature, by
deepening the bed" of the natural
channel, and cutting additional water
courses to divert flood waters, as
necessity demands, beyond the danger
point of cities or towns In close
proximity to the stream. This
strikes US as a far moIe efficient
method of protection than the dis
credited levee system.
