Of the vicinity to and from school, 1t
was only short time ago that all the
nuts on the vehicle were either removed
or loosened, but when Mrs. McClenning
started with the outfit a wheel came off
at once and the nuts were looked after
in time to prevent an accident. Now
still worse act has been committed
against the same outfit. Monday night,
Mr. McClenning's barn was entered and
this barge the property Of the town,
was almost entirely destroyed. The
axles were sawed through, the fellows
were sawed through to the tires, the

of and pair of shafts belonging to the
town and hanging in the barn were
sawed into pieces. The authorities hope
to apprehend the vandal or vandals.

Contrary to the general opinion, sta
tistics that can be gathered tend to
show that the imports of lumber from
Canada have not fallen off in Burlington
to any extent. Although the number Of
boats to be unloaded is not as large as
was the case 40 years ago, the railroads
have taken their place and made up for
the change in this respect. Even at
that 1907 looms up large in the number
Of boats, and last year is practically on
a par with the average for the past 10

MISSISSIPPI JUDGES
EFFECT ORGANIZATION
PURPOSE is TO SIMPLIFY METHODS
OF PROCEDURE.
JSdge Monroe McClurg of Cottonwood
Is the Prime Mover for the Or
ganization, and Leads 1t.
Committees Named.

Jackson.-The conference of Mississip
pi judges is the latest organization in
the state and was effected here at Il
gathering OF a majority OF the circuit
Judges and chancellors presiding in the
II circuit courts and 10 chancery dis
tricts.
The meeting followed a letter OF in
v~itation sent out some time ago which
had the concurrence of the Judges If
the supreme court at the instance of
Judge Monroe McClurg OF Greenwood.
The object Of the meeting was outlined
in a keynote speech delivered by Judge
McClurs, following the organization de-
tails. The main purpose is to simplify
the existing methods OF judicial procc-
dure.
The members of the bench at present
holding office in Mississippi have found
by experience that there is virtually too
much law" on the statute books, and
that there is room for improvement, not
so much by the enactment Of additional
statutes, but by simplifying the rules
of procedure now existing.
Organization was effected by the cleo
ton OF Hon. Monroe McClurg Of Green
wood as chairman OF the conference, and
Geo. G.. Myers, clerk of the supreme
court, as secretary.
Following up the address Of Judge
McClurg, organization was effected and
the chairman authorized to appoint COM
mittees to consider various topics con-
nected with judicial administration.
Committees on civil procedure in cir
cuit courts: Criminal procedure, equity
procedure, court rules and miscellany
are provided for and when adjournment
time was reached Chairman McClurg
announced the committees.

SUNFl0WER LOCK
Dam MEETS FAVOR
VICKSBURG MEN TOLD TO PROCEED
WITH WORK.
Low Stage of Water in Sunflower River
Causes Fear That No Considerable
Amount Of Work Can Be Done
This Season.

WashiiAton, ID. C.-The chief of enri-
heers has approved the revised estimate
for tLe lock and dam in the Sunf,owcr
river. The district engineer at Vicks-
burg vas instructed to proceed with The
work. The work on this project has
been suspended for the past two months
owing to the reduced estimates of the
cost OF the lock and dam. Congress au-
thorized the construction of a lock and
dam in the Sunflower river to cost $780,
600, the estimate being based on the
price at which eimilar work in the
Ouachita river in Louisiana has been
let. 1t subsequently developed that the
contractors there were unable to com
pletc the work because their bids had
been too low and the government had to
finish it. Capt. Graves OF the United
States army engineers then reported to
the chief engineer at Washington that
in view of the advanced construction
cost the lock and dam in the Sunflower
river could not be built for less than
$500, 900.
Several years ago a project was sub
mitted for the improvement of the Sun.
flower river by a system of three locks
and dams at an estimated cost OF $780,
900, but this was regarded as too ex-
pensive in view OF the prospective COM
merce OF the river, and the project was
rejected. When it was ascertained that
the present project would cost something
more than 100000 Capt. Graves con-
cluded in view of the foregoing facts
that it would be advisable to bring the
matter passed upon to his superior Of
ficers before beginning work. The chief
of engineers referred the matter to the
board of engineers OF river and har-
bors for SPECIAL examination and report
and all work was suspended until their
final determination OF the matter. After
going into the whole subject very care
fully the board reported that the prof
eet was worthy of the increased esti-
mate, and so reported to the chief ell
%gineers.
In view OF the very low stage in the
water in the river it is feared that lit
tie progress can be made on the project
this season., but all preliminary steps
will be taken and work will be pushed
vigorously as soon as the spring floods
subside sufficiently next year.

USING ALCOHOL IN HOSPITAL
Out Of 1,52e Patients Spirits Were Ad-
minlstered to but Three, All
Three Proving Fatal.

The London Temperance hospital
has for 40 years treated diseases and
accidents without the use OF alcohol.
At the last annual meeting Of its
board Of directors, Sir T. veyez, who
took the chair In the absence of Lord
Alverstone, the president, said its
progress had been continuous and sat
isfactory. Last year the hospital had
2',14S out-patients and 1929 in-pa-
tients. OF the 1,529 cases alcohol was
only administered in three, and he
regretted to add that all those three
proved fatal. Sir Victor Horsley said
this hospital had been a pioneer in
medical science. The old routine was
represented by three D's-diet, drugs,
and drink. and it was long before the
profession al a whole followed the
lead of that hospital in getting rid
OF the last item. Sir Victor corrected
the common notion that 1t was impos-
sible to prepare certain tinctures and
medicines without alcohol.
