LITTLE ROCK FIRM
 GETS RIVER WORK
Ieycc Building to Prevent Cuf-On Tt This Point Will Begin by DalhOh
 Construction Company soon.

Work will begin on the levee to pre- vent the treatened cutoff in the White river at Augusta Monday, the contract having been let to the Dal- hoff Construction Company of Little Rock. Building the levee will neces- sitate the moving of approXlmately 5O,O00 yards of dirt and will prob ably require until Christmas for it's completion. In the meantime propos- als are being received by the United States engineers for the construction of such levee just north of Pine Bluff
 The Pine Bluff work will be on q larger scale and is for the same pur- pose. When high water comes cut off is the river is threatened, which would destroy much property and dam age the remaining property i'll that Vi cinity. According to the announce ment the bids will be opened Novem- be- 16 and soon after that time it is expected that the work will be com menced
 The snagboat which has been work ing between Little Rock and Pine 1 Bluff for some time has finished the years work here and has gone to the lower waters of the Arkansas. When enough water is in the river to float the Harbin that boat will find the rov- CT between Little Rock and Pine Bluff, a distance of 67 miles, snagless
 The snagboat will remain in the | lower waters of the rkansas until January i. Next year the boat will be returned to the waters between Little Rock and Pine Bluff to at least do the snagging work in case nothing further is attempted.
 At present the government is work ing a force of men and boats on the White river near Batesville, construct ing locks and dams. Work is now being done on the third dam and it is expected that water will be going over the dam by December 1, if not sooner This work is for the purpose of pro- viding slack water navigation and will result in much good to the White riv- CT business.
 Those in position to know state that since the waterways meeting il Memphis people of Arkansas are walk ing up to the real possibilities of rlv CT navigation and that Little Rock Fort Smith and Muskogee people arc preparing to agitate further the Worl of river improvement. It is contende( that the river improvement apostles will not meet with the opposition iron the railroads they did in former Near' because the railroads cannot possibly take care of the freight business Whicl is now thrust upon them.

The Black sea. which in some parts
has a depth Of more than G.J0O feet, Is
poisoned by sulphIreted hydrogen
wherever the water Is deeper than
leo feet. This accounts for the curl
Gus fact that there Is no organic life
below that depth. excepting perhaps
some bacteria Of very low order, I'm
pregnated with sulphur. The causes
for this phenomenon are explained
by the quicl, outflow Of the fresh wa
ter through the Bosporus. while salt
water coming from the Mediterranean
enters through n deeper current into
the depths Of the Black sea. The wa
ters on the surface are, therefore, con
trolled absolutely by horizontal cur
rents OF considerable force, and vertl-
cal currents which might carry the
noxlous gases from the bottom 10 the
surface and fresh oxygen from the
surface TO the bottom are hardly ever
noticeable. The water at great depths
Is so saturated with sulphurlc gas by

Former Italian Army officer, Who De-

chicia. who until he was compelled TO
choose between love and duty, was
lieutenant in the Italian army COM
mitted suicide in the Tombs. His i'm
prisonment was brought about by his
brother Luigi. a banker Of this city.
The latter believed Giovanni insane.
According to the police records, he
fell in love in Italy and, unable as an
army officer to support his wife as he
wished. deserted and sought his for
tune as a cowboy in the American
west The venture was not success.
and finally. leaving his wife in their
new home, he came to New York TO
get a fresh start. Again unsuccess-
full and penniless, he asked financial
aid of his brother. The meeting OF the
brothers was Rt amicable. and at
second interview Giovanni was alleged
to have peremptorily demanded first
$1,000 and then $4,000 from the banker.
He exhibited a revolver and, 1t is
charged, threatened his brothers life.
The banker wished TO have Giovanni
detained as insane but the court would
not entertain this charge, and the
former soldier was held for trial on a
charge Of carrying concealed weapons.
In the Tombs Giovanni became de-
spondent. complained bNerly OF for

MONSTER MONTH IN IRON
All Records Smashed BY the October
Production.

production.
Cleveland, Nov. 11.-Reports from
the Industrial iron trade reveal some
remarkable conditions. Although for
a number Of weeks new business has
been reduced TO very small volume.
statistics Of production for the past
month show that seldom in the history
Of the trade have such large tonnage
been turned out
For example, the American Bridge
company, the largest producer OF
structural material. turned out 10000
tons last month. but sold only one
third OF the amount. The great plants
of the Steel Trust at Chicago and Pitts
burg made surprising records. The
Carnegie Steel company. for example,
broke Is records at It's various plants.
The Illinois Steel company, not only
broke all previous records. but did so
in every individual department In all
three works, South Chicago, Milwau-
kee and Joliet.
Even more surprising than all OF
these was the blast furnace production
for October. which reached a now high
point in the history OF the trade the
production being 1889. $50 tons, COM
pared with the largest previous out
put, 2.29l. $50 tons. in May OF this year.
In other words. the production for
October was at the rate of about 2S'-
900. 900 tons year The statistics for
November will doubtless tell a vastly
different story.

The Towns Crooked Dividing Lin

The Towns Crooked Dividing Line.
"There Is reason for most every
thing" said Cumberland county mar
when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such a crooked line
between two towns In his county
There's a reason for this crooked line
You see, some of our towns establish
ed in pioneer times, when land was
abundant and people were few, had a
big territory, which was afterward
sliced off to make new towns. 1t was
50 in the case you mention, and when
the cut OF was made people along the
line OF division were Of different minds
as TO which town they wanted to be In.
So the legislature drew q straight line
between the two parts and then pro-
yided that persons dwelling on lands
adjoining either side Of this line might
be in one town or the other, as they
should decide within ninety days after
passing the act. Some went one way
and sone the other and the line was
oil skewed up TO accommodate them"
