Trieber Reaffirms Decision.

Little Rock, July 1O.-Reaf- firming his previous decision in the migratory bird case United States vs. Harvey c. Shauver) on the ground that the question had already been decided simi- larly by the United States Su- preme Court, Judge Jacob Trie- Der of the United States District Court yesterday refused to grant a rehearing of the case, in accordance with a motion filed by Col. J. H. Acklin, United States game warden at Nash vile, Tenn. Arguments were heard Wednesday.
 The case which concerned the shooting of game bird out of season, involves the constitu- tipnality of an act of congress, which declares that all migra- tory birds were the property of the United States as whole. The act made it unlawful to kill such birds out of season. In the Shauver case, which was tried at Jonesboro, Judge Trieber held that game birds had always been considered as belonging to the state in which they were found, and for that reason con- gress had not the authority to pass laws affecting the rights of such states.

Big Proclamation Project.

The board of commissioners for Overflow Drainage District, comprising 17,600 acres on Lit tie Red River from Judsonia to |Stecherville, are advertising for sealed bids to be received until July 20, for one of the largest drainage projects ever proposed in White county, and which will represent an expenditure of be- tween $16O,OO0 and $175,OOO. According to c. M. Ergan- bright, the chairman of the board of commissioners, and E. IE. Mashburn, engineer for the the district, the work will con- sist of excavation for one main ditch and p lateral ditches, ex- tending an area of thirty miles and comprising 594,700 cubic yards of drainage excavation. The main ditch is seven miles long with bottom width varying from A to 28 feet, an average depth of eight feet. Lateral ditch No. 13 is six miles long, bottom width from 12 to IS feet. The proposed district will protect 17,600 acres of fertile lands in the vicinity of Judsonia, West Point and Stecherville.

To Select Commission Soon. Special to Independent.

Little Rock, July 1O.- The
 most interesting political event
 of this month will be the selec-
 tion of the county election com
 missioners, which will take
 place about July 15. These com-
 missioners are selected by the
 governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Two demo- crats an done republican commis-
 sioner will be selected for each county, and these will in turn select the election judges and clerks for elections held in all counties. The State Board of l Election Commissioners has in timated it will follow the recom- mendations made by county conventions, permitting each county to thus govern it's own affairs. There are going to be changes in many counties, how
 ever, radical changes, if rumor
 can be entertained. In most of these counties there is a keen contest, for the selection of con- Imissioners is a very important thing. It will be one of the things attacked in the new
 Brundidge election law, for it has long been claimed that the power to select election commis- |sioners gives state officials too
 great lever in certain counties, and permits them to perpetuate
 themselves in office, or to rail-
 road their friends into political
 positions.

Swimming Pool For Boys.

Little Rock boasts of the finest swimming pool in the state. Im- mediately after it's opening the number of cases of drowning .in the Arkansas river at this place was reduced. The boys who had been risking their lives daily in the treacherous stream, found fin the large pool the water of sufficient depth to allow them a good swim, and they did not at the same time have to keep their eyes on their clothes, which remained on the bank, to see that they were not confis- cated by officers, or filled full of knots by mischievous boys.

One specimen is ta- ken from the surface of the pool. The other is taken from the bottom by diver. Dr. Man glesdorf states that he has never found a germ of any disease in the water, and that it is far purer than the city water fur nished the citizens for drinking purposes. Dr. Manglesdorf fur ther states that germs of the nature referred to will not live in water, and he recommends bath in the swimming pool for those who enjoy swimming.
