over the corner of the back of the iron
betlstead, the bed post and the iron rod
forming a triangle into which her
throat was fastened and as her tongue
was hanging out she nau eNluellti!

fed who summoned a jury to hear the

while the feature allowed the greatest
comfort for the contestants, and no

Except with the favored few, high
scores prevailed The sudden change
from the baked fair green and the
blistering heat, to the soft turf and tho
cool breezes were too much for the
players and practically every man who
handed in his card had a tale Of woe
that might have convinced Job that he
was having an easy time of life. A
slight dash Of rain in the morning and
q high and erratic wind In the after
noon were the only obstacles to good
play, but in spite of this. the scores
mounted higher and higher. Early in

THOUSANDS OF ACRES or FINE
FARM LAND TO BE RECLAIMED
BY DRAINAGE DITCH
THE COST rs SMALL.
District Formed. Assessments Made,
Contract Let and Work Started
In Four Months.

Work is progressing on the drain
age canal from Altheimer to Wabbase-
ka, in this county canal thirty
feet wide and six feet deep will be
dug for distance OF six miles and the
dirt removed therefrom it being de-
posted on one side of the big ditch
to be later on smoothed down and
used as a public road The work is
being done by f. ]. Hahn, Little
Rock contractor.
The contract amounts to about $25,-
GOO. 1t calls for the completion Of
the canal within one year from the
letting of the contract, which was
awarder to Hahn on July 3. The work
when completed will affectually drain
eighteen thousand acres Of land, most
of which cannot be utilized at this time
on account of poor drainage, and it
is said that the lands when reclaimed
will be worth at least $50 an acre.
Their value does not at this time ex
ceed $40 an acre.
The district which is operating UNI
der the general drainage laws of Ark
ansas, was formed within the last
four months AS an evidence of the
sentiment that exists among planters
of this section in favor OF drainage,
it might be stated that the di. riot was
formed, the assessments made, the
contract let and actual construction
work begun within three months after
the first petition was filed. The dis
trict is known as Drainage District
No. 2.
The giant dredge on the work Is
moving dirt at the rate of 600 yards
day of ten hours The contractor
plans to put in two shifts day i'm
mediately that the work might be
completed even sooner than anticf-
pated. Hundreds of acres of land in
that section of the county are now
being cleared preparatory for cult
vation. They are among the finest
cotton producing lands in Arkansas
and that means that they will sur
pass anything Of it's kind in the world.
G. H. Triplett, of this city, is chair
man of the commission of the Dis
.rict and H. l.. Furr, of Altheimer, Sc
cretary. The reclamation of these
lands will cost not exceeding an aver
age of $1.35 an acre, but the benefits
have been so assessed that each acre
pays only it's proportion as benefited.
Some of the land in the District, high
and dry, is assessed not exceeding 80
cents an acre while that which is low
and untillable is assessed as high as
$3.50 an acre. In addition to the bene-
fit that the work will be to the lands
by reclamation, several swamps and
law places will be drained thus doing
away with the mosquito pools and i'm
proving the health of the residents.

up until yesterday roomed at the En-

leep during the hours in which the
crime is said to have been committed.
