Clearing Government Site.

A. F. Anderson of Clarksville, Texas, who has the contract for the construction of Newport's s government building, has al- ready cleared the site of the proposed building, preparatory to commencing the excavation work.
 1 MT. Anderson has built a num- fber of government buildings, though this is his first contract of this character in Arkansas. He will have material on the ground before the excavation work is completed. The usual time for construction of such a building is about 10 months, or a year and thus by next fall, the Newport postoffice will be in stalled in it's own building. Of the trees upon the govern ment site all except two box el- ders in the south corner near the Stayton building are to be tor have been cut. There was really only one pretty tree upon
 the tract, spreading elm on the south side of the lot, but this had to fall on account of a
 concrete driveway.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-02-09

the department of state has begun
great life-saving movement to aid
China in her goodyear fight with
ftoeds-which annually overflow riv-
er valleys, desolating whole states
and killing thousands of people.
The three great offending rivers
are the Hwang Ho, Yang-Tze Kiang
and the Huai Ho.
The latter: in Central China, will be
tackled first. 1t will be made to stay
in it's bed. With the aid of the adj
miniStration, Miss. Mabel Boardman,
president of the American Red Cross
Society, has put through a plan to
loan China $2O,OOO,OO0 to be spent
on Improvements in the Huai Ho val
ley. Also the president will loan China
one of the best engineers in the Unit
ed States army, to superintend the
gigantic battle against flooding
water.
The Red Cross, acting through the
department of state, has just con-
cluded preliminary negotiations
which will bring together the Chinese
government and the ]. G. White Con-
struction Co. of New York and Lon
don in the $2O,OO0,OO0 river improve
ment project.
This is not only a new departure
for the American Red Cross Society,
but it is a move in new direction for
the American government.
The Red Cross, which has hitherto
devoted itself exclusively to relieving
distress caused by floods, fire, famine
and war, has concluded that if floods
were prevented there would be no
flood victims to aid; that it is more
practical and more humane to send
construction engineers to China than
Red Cross nurses.
With the approval of The depart
ment of state the society sent Charles
Davis Jameson, civil engineer, to the

on through the American ambassa-'
dor, Paul S. ReinsCh.
The $2O,OOO,OOO to be expended in
the Huai Ho valley by the constrUc-
ton company viii be raised by bond
issue, to be floated in America. The
bonds are to be guaranteed by China
and secured by the revenues of the
reclaimed lands.
The j. G. White Construction Com
pany has handled many big engineer
ing projects for the U. S., particularly
in the Philippines. The Chinese, gov
eminent guarantees the bond issue.
The engineering work will be super
vised by an American engineer who
will resign from the U. S. army to ac-
cept the post from the Chinese gov
eminent.

of Joseph X. Watson and Murray j.

"Brushky" and "Rushky'' characters
which they have made famous all
over the country. The twain get into
all sorts of side-splitting situations
and their adventures are sufficiently
mirth- provoking to tickle the risibles
of the most cross-grained man-hater.
They are aided and abetted in their
gloom destroying efforts by cast of
some of the cleverest and most expe-
rienced performers on the stage. The
company includes Helen Van Buren,,
