CACHE CREEK BE DIVERTED

Witch With Three -Eighths Mile

Will Do the Work.

Attorney Hugh Mason was in the
city Saturday in an endeavor 20 in
terest local people in big reclama-
ton scheme in which it is proposed
to form q drainage district which
viii prevent from overflow some
thing like $4,000 acres of very val
uable farming lands partly situated
in Alexander county and in Pulaski
county.
In forming the drainage district
tho Big Four viii assist by filing

ming Cache creek where the Cairo
Drainage District ends at Cache
creek whicn will unite the Big Four
lc}oe With the levee continuing on

1t is the intention to divert Cach .
creek into. the Mississippi river just
east of Beech Ridge where u di,ch
viii be dug 100 feet wide at the bot
tom for a distance Of hve-ei ghts of 4
mile, and, which with n levee three
oighths of a mile will complete the
scheme
Part cf Cache creek will be di
verted into the Ohio river near
Grand Chain with big hills interven-
ing when the work now in progress
which is within the next week, leay-
ing only forty percent Of the
stream to flow down the old channel.
this later to be diverted entirely into
the Mississippi river il the Mason
plan is successful.
The adoption of this new drain
age or Reclamation scheme will
make the Cairo Drainage District
levee along Cache creek from its
junction with the Big Four leyee on
the east to the Mobile and Ohio
levee on the west, dry levee in ad-
dition to placing Mounds in per-
fectly dry territory at all times thus
obviatiug the necessity of building
a ,evee system ut this suburb as
contemplated at cost Of 100000.
Mr.. Mason has complete estimates
furnished by Engineer Wheeler in
conjunction with the Big -Four en-
gineering corps showing that the to-
total cost OF the work will approXi-
mate $4,000. A small part Of the
cost will be assumed by the Big Four
railroad while the remainder, in the
event of a failure tc obtain assist
ance from tho National government
must be borne by the property own
ers in the proposed drainage district.
In the event this drainage district
is completed Mound City will not
have use for its rear levee system
which cost mere than the cost OF the
making. of the new district.
Not, only are the owners OF the
ground: in the proposed district
greatly Interested in the matter bat
Cairo, Mound City and Mounds are
vitality concerned in seeing that the
proposed reclamation proceedings are
