THE NEW LEvEE
Over $23o,ooo Already Expended On The New White River Lcvce
 N.w Nearing Completion.

Many of our people have heard of the new White River Levee district during the past year but few have re- aIized the magnitude of this great un dertaking or that it is now nearing completion and that more than $220,- 0O0.0o has been expended by the board on the work.
 This levee means much to Brink northwest of here in the Cache riv~ CT bottoms.
 The White River Levee begins just south of Augusta and extends 20 miles to Upper Surrounded hill. The levee Is now being pushed on Jackson bayou which protects and joins both Upper and Lower Surrounded hill.
 When completed over 100000 acres of the finest bottom cotton and corn lands will he redeemed from overflow by this levee.
 Already the wonderful value to the property owners in being shown land which formerly sold at from S5 to y1O per acre is now bringing $35 per acre.
 The recent high waters afforded sufficient test to prove the efficacy of the levee is planned. It Is now ' ,mpleted within two miles of Upper Surrounded hill and the contractors let a few days ago for the remaining stretch for $22.OOO.0o by the board, will shut off all of the water north oi the Rock Island railway to Augusta The south line of the district is the Rock Island railway tracks.

RISE OF PENNILEss RUSSIAN

The failure of the Northern bank of New York for $S,o00,000 and the story of Joseph G. Robins career in New York is the story of the gold-flled streets of America that lures the ann Ditipus of Europe here. Sixteen years ago he was penniless immigrant, with perhaps half-dozen words of English at his command. For the past year he has had a controlling voice in three banks, two bonding companies, two real estate development compa~ nies and two traction roads.
 A Russian by birth, Robin came to the United States as Joseph Rabino- witz. Heswas about twenty-two years old then, and is now about thirty. eight. He came to this country alone, and he is still single and without rela- tives here.
 A year after Rabinowitz reached America he fixed upon journalism as the profession he meant to follow. For rather less than a month he was re- porter on the Herald, with only broken

COMMANDER TALKED TOO MUCH

Commander w. s. Sims of the Unit. ed States navy has gotten himself into lot of trouble after long and very creditable career. He attended a ban quet in London and made speech, during the course of which he had the misfortune to sslop over" He was very anxious to impress on the minds of his British hosts the feeling of friendship which exists in the United States but he went too far and as sured them that:
 'If ever the time comes that the British empire Is menaced by an ex ternal foe she can count on every man, every dollar, every ship and every drop of blood of her kindred across the sea
 Now, Uncle Sam thinks a whole lot of John Bull, but he doesn't propose to have every Tom, Dick and Harry making wholesale promises for him. So Commander Sims has been lacked up. President Taft characterizes the offense as conspicuous and orders that
