deep center in the eighth inning, while
Rode was on first base was one of the
best fielding feats of the year on the To-
cal grounds. When the ball started on It's
journey there did not seem to be pos
sible chance for Milan to reach II, but
by remarkable squirt of sprinting he
got to the ball Just as it seemed TO be
passing him, reached out and pulled IL In

NEW LEGISLATION WILL
 BENEFIT LEVEE DISTRICT
BONDS AUTHORIZED AMOUNTING TO MILLION AND \ HALF
 FOR 30 YEARS.
Levee Will Be Raised Three Fee, Above High Water Mark-rTax
 is 1G Gents Per Acre.

Little Rock, March n.-9Legislation passed this session affecting the St Francis Levee District has been of character, it is believed that will re- levee district on earth
 One depository for leyee funds has been provided in each county.
 It has been provided t:at no mem Der of the board, except the presi- dent. shall be an officer, and under the old law the president was not re- quired to be a member Of the board
 Bonds have been authorized amounting to $1,5OO,00O, at , 1-2 for 30 years, with a 50 years option President O N Killough, who has been here for several weeks watching the legislature, says he will advertise for the Notation of the bonds at once
 The new bond issue will make a to- tai of $3,350 OOO on the district, not quite $2 an acre. It is estimated by the engineer that the proposed strengthening of the levee will cost about three and half million dollars including the banquet. This will raise the levee for it's entire length to height three feet above the high water mark of 1911, which was the highest on record. The banquet, to be built back of the leyee as a brace will have a width of about twenty feet, and in co-operation with the counties of Crittenden and Mississip- pi a public road will be maintained along the top of the banquet
 The district includes the counties of Mississippi, Crittenden, Cross, Craig head, St. Francis, Phillips, Lee and Poinsett. The valuations in this dis trict are about $5O,O0O,00O, not in cluding the railroads.
