 There iG great demand for small pigs for Thanksgiving and if the buyers keep making raids on the mar ket there will not be a little porler in any of the show windows or whole sale houses tomorrow. They are sell ing for from fourteen to sixteen cents pound and many of those who have suddenly taken fancy to that kind of meat don't care what they cost provided they can get them.

 way he has been making them toe the mark. And best of all, he's got
 his eye on the sugar TRUST lately.
 Now if he will only make them give
 us pure sugar as well as stopping them from cheating our government, it will be very nice of him. But, we
 hear he has got so much into his
 head about TRUSTS that it's possi-
 ble he will try and have the word TRUST dropped entirely from the English language. We see his latest
 lookout for TRUST is on our gold coin He's going to have, Tn God we TRUST" stricken from our gold. We'll, he may be right and he may be wrong. However, he's the first individual we've ever heard of who found fault with the above motto being on coin Or on anything else. Say, if he keeps on finding fault with this and that, he may start in and tell us what 70 wear Well, that might be all right with the men folks. but it's sliiddoo, Teddy, if he mentions wearing apparel to the wo- men folks; it will be woe be unto our president when he makes that mistake.

their extremely broad bases. being from

contrast to this great width OF base,
the concrete Gaping which forms the
top Of the jettics and which Is the work
receiving its finishing touches this week.
Ia but few feet wide. The Gaping Is
d seawall u feet high and Ia the only
portion OF the jetties not submerged.
The well weighs between two and three
tons per lineai foot. The submerged
structure supporting this mass OF con.
crete Ia made almost entirely OF willow
poles and brush With the aid OF frame
works OF scantling. the willows were
formed into so.called mattresses; broad,
fiat structures resembling bed mattresses
in form, each about two feet thick. 200
feet long and varying in width from 30
10 $50 feet The mattresses were sunk
one above the other. with the widest at
the bottom and those above uniformally
diminishing In width as they approached
the surface. The topmost mattresses
were uniformly 80 feet wide and on a
level with the surface Of the water.
Heavy broken stone was spread evenly
over the mattresses 10 sink them, 80
that a layer Of stone rests between each
Of these willow structures. The greatest
number Of superimposed mattresses was
five.
The Mississippi has done some very
interesting work in addition TO securing
out channel for il has made the mat
trosses practically indestructible to any
normal agency Of nature in this region
by burying them under hundreds OF tons
Of mud. These deposits follow closely
the contour Of the jettics, in conjunc'
tion with which they form new banks
OF the river. The only change likely to
occur In the jetties ia their gradual
sinking until in time the concrete cap
ping entirely disappears. This sinking
already has occurred TO the jetties at
the south pass.
In the course Of many years new
bar may form by silt deposits in the
Gulf in the now deep water beyond the
mouth OF the jetties. and then tha
remedy win be the extension OF the
jetties short distance further. The rate
of bar extension during nearly rs years
preceding the starting Of the jctties was
between 100 and $50 feet annually, and
the deposits responsible for this advance
were made when conditions, now greatly
changed, favored such accretions.
Part OF the $6,0OO.0O0 allotted to make
the channel is being spent in safeguards
several miles above the jetties to pre-.
vent any increase in the flow of other
large outlets from the main river to the
Gulf This is being accomplished by
placing stone covered mattress sills on
the river bottom across the entrances
to those outlets. Several small bayous
leading from the southwest pass to the
Gulf will be entirely closed up.
