DRAINAGE DISTRICT
 IS APPROVED
Major W. J. Parkes, Engineer of Plum From Washington, Where he Con. ferred With Government
 Engineers.

Major w. J. Parkes, of the firm of Parkes and White, civil engineers, re- turned yesterday from Washington, where he conferred with the officials of the department of Drainage rela- tive to the Plum Bayou Drainage District which is being opposed by a number of planters whose proper ty holdings are included in the Dis trict. The plans of the Jefferson county district were submitted at Washington and approved by the United States Engineers. Arthur E. Morgan, supervising engineer. and C.. G. Elliott, chief engineer of the Drainage department, are preparing report which will be forwarded here within the next few days.
 The Department engineers declare that the plans of the Plum Bayou District are the most conservative and carefully drawn ever submitted to them. They suggest that part of iiiC iiiii i'ttAON i'iSti iNt IliiCiit pN eliminated, if advisable. Among other things the government engi- neers say:
 ''If it appears upon careful con- sultation that the time is not ripe for the improvement of this part of the district, the improvement of Pump ing District No. i can be abandoned or postponed for the present with out in any way interfering with the success of the remaining portion of the work Pumping District No ? may. also be eliminated, say the en- glneers. without Interfering with the prposed work.
 With these two districts out of the original plans, it is stated that the cost of the work will be reduced 50 per cent. and there is a possibility of this feature being favorably received at meeting of the land owners and commissioners of the District Mon day, in this city.

 Tomorrow, however, it is expected that every meeting planned by the committee, and particularly the clos ing rallies, will be attended by all the people that the large church au- ditoriums of the city can accommo- date.
 Today's sessions of the convention have been marked by an unusual at tendance of delegates from various cities and communities throughout the State, showing the widespread interest in the movement and the forceful addresses of Rev. T. B. Ray, Dr. J. T. Reid, Dr. J. T. Henderson, and others this morning, carried home in a keen appreciation of the evange- lieal purpose of the movement now under way.
 Dr. Rays address on the systema- tic education of men in missions was especially to the point, and treated the theme most effectively.
 Great interest centers in the meet ings tonight and tomorrow. particul- arly in the denominational rallies.
