]. f LLEWELLYN
on THE KINGDOM

J. +. Llswellyn has come forward
with another reason why Galloway
County is called the Kingdom He
cites schaTf's History Of st. Louis
from which he gives this information.
He said:
aScharf''s History OF ST. Louis
says that in 1866 The entire vote of
Galloway County was thrown out.
and they had no representative In
Congress, ID the State Senate or
House Of Representatives. Hence
ii was called the Kingdom
another reason why Galloway Isl
the Kingdom is gkyen BY
some to be due to an event in
Gallaway's history at the time Mis-
souri, voted on the proposition wheth-
er to secede or remain in the Union.
Ait that time Galloway County Sc.
cedeA from the remainder Of the
sbate and hence was given the name
OF the Kingdom"

convlcts on good roads work. The
plan anticipates dlyesting the con
victs Of their stripes, and placing
them on their honor not to attempt
escape. Thus no guards would be
used and the conytcts would appear
as ordinary road laborers working
out their sentences without the stig-
ma Of stripes or the humiliation OF
working at the point Of a shot
gun.
Recently two Texas counties yot-
ed large bond isaues for the Improve
ment OF It's roads and bridges. no
the commissioners OF these coun-
ties Governor Colquibt submitted bis
plan. Bridge carpenters, black
smiths, qtarrymen and other trades
could be supplied at q cost OF 50
cents per day and their maintter-
ance. Half OF the so cents would
go to the families Of the prisoners
and the other half to the treasury
OF prison system. The convdcts
would be placed entirely upon their
honor and TO VII intends and pur-
poses given their freedom with the
exception Of requiring them 10

viding that no desert land entry here
tofore made in good faith under the
public land laws in townships ), s
and Z south, ranges II, Is, 19, 20
and 21 east, shall be Cancelled because

The Chuckawalla project embraces
in area Is townships, embracing 60
sections of land, or a total of 345,-
600 acres. The original plan, which
attracted several hundred entry men,
provided for the construction of an
immense dam across the Colorado

generating power that would be car
ried by transmission lines to a point
on the Colorado river opposite the
lands in question. where an immense
irrigation plant was to be erected and
