AS we 90 press we are informed
that a petition has been forwarded
the Secretary CT War asking the privi-
lege of erecting a nOn-draw bridge
across the Yalobusha river and al
leging that the stream amounts to
nothing as a navigable one. In our
opinion, should favorable action be
had upon the petition, it would be
very nurtful to the entire county and
greatly benefit the rail roads in per-
hitting them to forever fix high
freight rates for Grenada.

Clean Out Yalobusha River.

Nothing would so largely benefit
Grenada and it's trade territory as
would the cleaning out of the Yalo-
busha river so that it would be navi-
gable. 1t can be done. The money
San be obtained from the federal gov
ernment. Other streams, less inn
portant than this river, are the OBJ
jects Of governmental care and if this
river is not on the list, the fault lies
with the people who live contiguous to
it. If it were in the North, a corps of
engineers would have been at work
on it years ago and a town of the size
of Grenada, situated on it's ban ks,
would long have been enjoying and
reaping the benefit Of competitive
freight rates. Last winter it was
navigable from October Ist to May /,
this spring. With the river naviga-
bic, Grenada'S ideal situation would
be completed and there is not a town
IN the state that would make the
STRIDES in development that this one
BOalf. Outside Of the great reduc-
sion that would come in reduced
freight rates, which would be shared
N by every individual who purchased
j dollars worth here. the cleaning out
Of the stream would benefit every
farm on its banks. Ary observer can
See that tie willow growth along the
EVER is increasing very rapidly and
~ also narrowing the channel Of the
stream and causing it to ill up. This,
OF course, causes the river to more
quickly overflow and is no little
uetrIment to adjacent lands.
How can this appropriation be got
ten: Through our congressman and
senator's. Let Grenada show some
Ching Of her annual freight bills, and
recall the river transportation Of the
past When steamboats, carrying 1000
oaleS Of cotton piled the waters Of
laio6usha river and we believe the
matter will be f%avOrably heard by
congress. The time is ripe for such a
move NOW. president Roosevelt
starts in a few days at St. Louis and
VIII spend perhaps thirty days on the
Mississippi river going as far as New
Orleans, studying conditions and with
the view OF recommending an i'm
prOvement in the waterways Of the
West. So while the public thought is
being directed waterward, let Grena-
Ga see that the YalObuSha river re-
eeiTeS the proper congressional atten-
sion and gets On the ''eligigible list"
The time is opportune. Our wor-
thy congressman, Hon. W. S. Hill,
stands ready to aid US in every posi-
bic way and we feel sure that Hon.
John Sharp Williams and other mem
bers Of the Mississippi delegation will
lend an active cooperation. Let1Gre-
NADIA get busy.

Prosecution for Inserting New
Accusation at Last
Moment
nv Apsociated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 30.-The
president of the court before which the
trial of 1853 members of the duma who
signed the Viborg manifesto Is being
conducted, today read the list of charges
in the form of questions on which the
court will base it's verdict.
The principal charge proved to be the
sending and the transmission to others
for distribution to the people of the
manifesto--a vital point in establishing
crime in Russia.
After reading the charges counsel en-
gagged for the defense protested against
this, pointing out that the Indictment has
not mentioned the word transmission,
and called upon the prosecution to pro-
duce the evidence on which it based the
new accusation, made at the last mo-
ment.
The court retired for an hour, and on
returning conceded the validity of the
protest. The president then announced
that the charge would be altered into
one, reading knowledge and approval
of the transmission of the manifesto"
The counsel for the defense insisted
upon the production of the evidence. M
Tesslinko scathingly criticised the meth
ods of the prosecution and it's disre-
gard for the law. The case finally was
adjourned until tomorrow. The indict-
ment charges only thirteen of the depu-
ties with distributing the manifesto
