Lock No. Twenty.

The United States Board of Engi-
neers will hold meeting in Burnside,
KY, tomorrow, the 10th, to take into
consideration the construction of Lock
and dam No. 20. The question to come
up at the meeting will be whether the
construction of said lock and dam will
pay and should be undertaken by the
Government. 1t is an enterprise that
every business man along the Cumber-
land should take and interest in and al
so counties adjacent to the counties
that the river runs through 1t would
be of lasting benefit to the people of
Adair county, and representative men
should attend this meeting and JOIN in
petition to Congress to make an APP
preparation for the lock and DAM

An effort is now being made by the
citizens of Corbin, Somerset and Leba-
non to induce the L. C. to build from
Hodgenville to Corbin where that road
would tap the great deposits of coal
in Eastern Kentucky. A meetinglwas
held in Corbin last week and the next
one will be in Lebanon in a few days to
take such action as may be deemed ad-
visable to accomplish the end sought
The fact is that the l. C. would be a
strong factor in the development of
Eastern Kentucky, should it enter, and
if such step is desired Columbia would
be almost on a direct line. 1t seems to
us that this should be investigated and
an effort made to show the resources of
this section to the company and offer
such inducements as will be necessary.
This town and county as well as Green
and Russell counties ought to wake up
to this important step.
