staff Of the Rock Island Lines, which
will involve the names Of Topeka Of
ficials. are predicted today following
the resignation of w. M. Whitenton as
general manager of the first district of
the road with headquarters in Des
Moines. The Rock Island men in To-
peka refuse to discuss the proposed
changes. but from the general lineup of
the stan as 1t stands, railway circles
are inclined to believe that a successor
to Whitenton will cause a shift in the
organization Of the headquarters of the
second district in Texas.
In the first place, there are three gen.
eral managers and three assistant gen.
eral managers In the trio-district or
ganization of the Rock Island operating
staff. The three general managers are
w. M. Whitenton at Des Moines OF the
first district; A. E. Sweet at Topeka of
the second district. and c. w. Jones

We learn with sincere regret OF the
resignation of Maj. J. T. Mcclellan as
General Inspector of Levees for the Fifth
Louisiana Levee District. Maj. Nc
Clellan has been in the service of the
Fifth District for the past fifteen years
and at all times has been untiring in his
efforts to upbuild system OF leyees that
would protect this District from the an
nual floods the Mississippi River.
In rendering his resignation, he said
that in his opinion, the President should
be the Inspector, for the reason that the
combination of the two offices would
give the chief executive of the Board the
greatest prestige and influence with levee
interests, as well as with riparian tax
payers.
He continued, he said, temporarily
under resolutions of the Board OF January
18th with the understanding that his SER
vices would discontinue at such time as
Mr.. Rhodes could arrange his private bu-
siness and assume full control OF the
affairs of the ard.-Madison Journal.

White Oak Lake is under contract by

this is a point which needs close atten-

The Rariton levee needs raising and

Kempe is the most serious proposition
in the District, because OF its extent.

MADISON PARISH

Villa vista-Mascot Stations, 2S60 to
1866, should be drained. Milliken's Bend,
upper bend, to Cabin Teele Loop should
be raised and enlarged. A new. levee will
be needed, continuing Cabin Teele Loop,
South, too soon to justify enlarging Of
this deficient stretch.
Duckport to Killarney should be en-
larged as soon as it can be determined
where caving will reach levee which is
Independent on action at head of Paw

All the other deficient levees in Madi-

and thorough investigations by borlngs

The United States Engineers should be
induced to care for borings and leVee
proper. and District should do drainage
and extend banquette upstream.
The LArgent levee should be enlarged
and close examination made OF sand boil
boils which are there.
CONCORDIA PARISH
There is q large amount OF enlarge
ment under contract in Concordla, out
the whole stretch from lower Bougere to
Point Breeze needs raising and enlarg-
ing. And Green leyee should have drain
age considered.
The leyee in front of Ferriday should
be made entirely secure by banquette, as
Ferriday lie quite town and a break
near it would cause a great loss OF prop
erty and probably life.
The leyees in front of all the towns
should be made absolutely safe.
NEW LEvEEs.
The most extensive new levees needed
will be at Cabin Teele, in Madison par
ish, and Ingefeld, in Tensas. Other close
places il needed at all, will be short
stretches.
The revetment already undertaken will
be repaired and extended as needed by
the United States Engineers.
The most pressing needs in revetment
to be undertaken is at Hagerman, East
