THE RESOLUTIONS.

The committee offered the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted: ::
Whereas, the whole of the Tensas Basin
included in the Fifth Louisiana Levee
District, which is composed of the par
ishes of East Carroll, Madison, Tensas
and Concordia, is alluvial, and therefore
drainage is absolutely necessary, and,
Whereas, it is necessary to have a
thorough Typographical survey of this
Basin TO determine the practicability and
feasibility of the formation of compre-
hensive Drainage District, and,
Whereas, it is recognized by Ievee Engi-
neers that it is of paramount importance
to have the water drained away from the
levees, making drainage one of the ad-
juncts to secure the safety of the levees,
and,
Whereas, the whole of the Fifth Louis
lana Levee Board of the Fifth Louisiana
Levee District, in cooperation with the
Police Juries of the parishesin the Dis
trict, be requested to enter any agree
ment, deemed advisable by it, with the
United States Government, or any De-
partment thereof, through the officials OF
the State of Louisiana, otherwise, for the
making of typographical survey of the
basin, maps, etc, of the Fifth Louisiana
Levee District, which will enable it to be
determined what the cost and expense OF
a thorough and comprehensive drainage
system will be, looking to the enactment
of bill to this end at the next session
of the General Assembly.

phasized the fact that Louisiana, es-
pecially the northern portion, would have
to be drained before immigration could
be induced this way.
Bolton Smith, of Memphis, Tenn, con-
trolling a vast acreage in this district,
and w. +. Wing, of Illinois, spoke OF
the benefits from both sanitary and finan-
cial standpoints to be obtained from a
comprehensive drainage system.
Representative Jos. f. Ransdell, mem
ber of Congress from this district, made
the concluding address, and among other
things said that all things considered, the
district could not afford not to drain, and
cited instances to show where in districts
that had been drained as it is proposed
to drain this one, values have increased
POO per cent or more Also the growing
scarcity Of labor makes immigration nee
essary, and there will be no immigration
without drainage.

Why the Dream Of Home So oiren
Fails to Come True.

To the Editor OF The Times: IN

true chord, tho dream OF every man

home sweet home" ! doubt not that
most every man has dreamed Of the
little cottage on the hillside. the beau.
tiful lawns and shade-trees.
Ii Is my opinion that most every
man has dreamed OF the little home he
would like to have. but most every
man Is not able to have his dreata-
fulfilled. When We consider the mum.
bers OF men and women who have
dreamed this same dream, and all
their lifelong have saved and saved
their small earning. and yet, went 10
their graves without having provided
their children with the cottage on the
hillside.
II Is we'll TO encourage every man
TO provide a home for himself, but
Is also we'll to show him why 1t Is SO
hard 10 do so.
Each year the cost OF homes In De-
troit are increasing. Each year II Is
becoming harder and harder for one
To acquire home.
When we speak OF a home we should
not confuse the bricks and mortar
with the place on which they rest. A
home is not a home today unless you
own the land under the -hoiae.
Within the limits of this city there
! is plenty OF good land on which to set
homes Labor Is willing and eager IN
erect the buildings, IL permission TO
do so can be obtained But, those who
own the vacant lots and unused acres
of this city will not give their permits

This is the reason. and the only rea-
son, IL is year by year becoming hard
or and harder for one to obtain for
himself home

AN INTERESTING FIGHT.
Papka and Ketchel Will Meet in
Frisco Next Monday.

stronger, larger and more exper-
fenced than ever, Stanley Ketchel
goes against Billy Papke again July
in San Francisco for the fourth
meeting of this classy pair of middle
weights. The battles of KetcheI and
Papke will go down as some of the
most notable in ring history. One
year ago this time both were claim
ing the middleweight title. Ketchel
met Papke on his own stamping
ground at Milwaukee and drew a de-
clsfon In ten rounds. Then came an
other battle at Los Angeles Labor day,
and in the thirteenth round, for the
hrst time in his career, the seconds
We're tolled off over Ketchel and
Fapke was winner and middleweight
champ. Then came the return battle
in which Ketchel shattered all ira
ditions by returning winner, knock
ing out Papke In the eleventh round.
Since then Ketchel has come fast.
His wonderful showing in two battles
with O'Brien have put him in a posi-
ton to claim the first chance at Jack
Johnson. Papke, on the other hand
made very sorry showing against
hugo Kelly in a Los Angeles bout
during the winter, and was being
counted among the has-beens until he
returned little over a month ago
ana nalled Kelly IN the hrSt.round of
their Frisco bout. It startled the fans
and backed up Papke's claim for a
fourth battle with the holder of the
middleweight title. He is confident
for this fight.
Those gathered at the Frisco ring
side independence day will watch
very closely the opening of the battle.
The man who gets in the first solid
punch has won in the previous fights
It's a cinch that they'll go after it
hard from the start in this bout In
one way Ketchel is the surprise and
wonder of the pugi1istic world. He
can apparently make the middle
weight limit at any time he so de-
sires, but should he so desire could
enter the ring at close to $50.

Notes of the Game.

Thomason partially redeemed him
self for his error, by remarkable
piece of fast fielding in the ninth. Will
liams hit against the left field fence
but Tommy was right after the ball
and by quick throw to second held
Williams on first.
Geier's second error of the game
came in the ninth inning. With a run
ner on first, Shea who went to bat for
Biersdorfer hit to Kunkel who threw
to Geier to catch the runner. Louis
Philippe dropped the ball.
Des Moines played good fielding
game considering the condition of the
field. The only error was DIVERS muf
of an easy fly, of which he seemed too
certain.
The first balk of the season was
called on Biersdorfer in the sixth
Hendrix walked and Biersdorfer start
ed to throw to the plate and then start
ed to heave the ball to first.
Fenlon made a nice catch in the
eighth on a long drive which was right
on the right field foul line.
Sandy Griswold of the Omaha World
Herald says that Bader of the Des
Moines club is swelled up. This may
or may not be so. But it is certainty
that he hasn't done much in the series
just closed. During the four games he
was up sixteen times without a safe
hit. And yet he is said to be leading
the Des Moines team in batting.
