HORSES COULD SWIM
IN H|NKSON' IN 1850
Now Round Hole Is the
Only Place Deep Enough
for a Man.
GRASS HELD BACK WATER
Soil Carried Down from
Fields Has Filled Up
the Holes.

The installing of weirs by the School
of Engineering to determine the
amount of rainfall carried by Hink-
son and Grindstone creeks calls atten-
'tion to the difference between those
creeks now and in former days.
Sixty years ago there were plenty
'of holes in Hinkson creek that would
swim horse. Just above the pres
|ent site of Hinkson bridge on the Ash
land gravel road, there was hole
which, at low water, was seven or
eight feet deep. Columbia boys used
to go out to this place and swim their
horses. Now, round hole" south of
town, is about the only place in which
even man can swim.
Flat branch, which flows under
Stewards bridge, used to contain many
holes four and five feet deep. Now
\ it can scarcely be called good wading
most of the time. After a heavy fall
of rain there is usually considerable
flow of water in this creek, but nearly
| all the year it is only a brook and
goes dry at times. Its pools appear
tstagnant and discolored.
In 1912, r. H. Smith. who lives at
1905 West Broadway, bought grst
and saw-mill, known as the Hanna
| mill, three miles northeast of Colum.
| bia. Mr. Smith says that at that time
| the mill would run more than three
months in the year, but that now such
mill would not run three weeks in
the year. He has owned three diff
iferent mills on Hinkson and says that
as early as 1850 lessening of the flow
of water was noticeable. The law al
lowed mill owners to build dams nc
higher than six feet in order to pro
ltect landowners from overflow.
Mr.. Smith says that the prairie
grass that grew on the upland uset
to hold back the water and thus cause
a reserve that made more uniform
flow the year round. There was more
drift wood to obstruct the channel!
If the creeks then than now. Ths
breaking up of the sod and the clear
ling away of timber have brough
{about a condition which allows thu
trainfall to run off quickly. Soil Car
Tried down from the cultivated field
has filled up the holes in the creeks
formerly on the unbroken prairie
sthere were many seepy places where
la horse would mire if allowed to ge
outside the road.

THE STORY OF SID
NOUMAN.-(PART TWO.)

The young husband of a very beau
tiful lady discovers that she Is really
a witch. When he accuses her Of this,
she turns him into a dog. He takes
refuge with a baker. One day the
lady comes In and tells the baker
that the dog is dangerous.
| went up to the baker, put my fore
paws on his knees and looked APP
pealingly up into his face. Finally
the baker who was a soft-hearted
fellow, said, II cannot drive him
away. for he has been very faithful
and has done nothing that bad dog
would do. I think | shall keep him
with me-" And Anime went of very
angrily, while | tried In a dogs way
TO show my master how ! appreciated
his kindness.
One day woman came into the
shop and offered my master some bad
money. She insisted that IL was good,
and finally my master threw the mon.
ey down before me, saying, Even a
dog could tell the difference. Come,
tell me which coin is bad?" He

and then said 10 the baker. This is

chented man. Will you give me per-
mission to restore him, IL | can, to

The baker readily agreed, and the
young woman drew from her bag
