Mr.. Jobe called up the United States
engineer and learned that the stream
is nayigable for about two miles from
the mouth. but no further. The en-
giuecr would not report as to whether
or not the stream was navigable in
1871. but declared that at an earlier
period an ark might have passed over
the spot, and possibly did.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Marked Tree.-Planters in Poinsett
county and, in fact. all Eastern Ar.
kansas, owe a debt of gratitude to the
army worm for the services several
million bugs are performing. The
growth of the cotton was so rank it
was feared the crop would rot. but
this danger has passed. With an ever
increasing appetite, the worms are
slipping the stalks of foliage, thus al
lowing the sunshine to penetrate the
thiekest portions and cause the bolls
to mature.
The army worm arrived about u
days ago, headed east. Field after
field has been denuded before the
march of the insects and in some
cases the leaves of an entire field have
disappeared over night. In some
cases where the worms attempted to
cross the road in sandy districts they
have filled the wagon ruts and perish
ed by thousands in the hot sun.
