(From Tuesdays Daily Press)
At Piggott yesterday Congressman
IT. H. Caraway delivered an address
to a large number of property own
ers whose lands are affected by the
drainage system depending upon the
st. Francis river for an outlet for
the surplus waterfall, and proposed
a plan of reclamation and perma-
nent drainage for the consideration
of the land owners, suggesting they
confer among themselves and decide
whether or not to endorse the pro-
ject.
The congressman believes the on
ly way the government will ever
be induced to make improvements
on the ST. Francis river is through
n plan similar to the irrigation
projects in the arid sections of the
west in which the government puts
I'D the money for the construction
of dams and is later reimbursed by
those who profit from the irrlgat-
ing systems.
Mr.. Caraways idea is for the
land owners to organize and pro-
pose to the government, through an
act of congress- to sell the reclaim
ed lands now under water and use
the proceeds in paying back to the
government the amount it exponds
in digging a new and direct chan
mel for the st. Francis river.
Beginning at point directly
east of Piggott the tortoise course
of the river covers a distance of lag
miles in it's meanders to Marked
Tree. On a direct line between
these two points the distance is not
in excess of sixty or siXty-tlVe
miles. Over this stretch of 149
miles the river bed is from one-halt
TO three miles wide, filled with
morass. smart weeds and other OBJ
structions Government engineers
who made a survey of the river the
past summer estimate there are be
tween fifty and siXty-five thousand
acres of land covered by the waters
of the river. All this is government
land and none of it is subject tC
homestead entry because 1t is II
the socalled bed of the river. Il
is said the land is extremely fertile
that the soil is from four to twelve
feet deep.
If the government will take hold
of the project and canalize the riv

ms had not expressed determine
ton to join the Germans or an
mex himself to Villas naval forces,
it is not thought that the governors
exactions will seriously conflict
with Blevins' conception of person
al liberty. OF course, when Blevins
was convicted, the judge and jury
were wrong. Hays was right.
Other pardons will follow as soon
as the governor has time to tune
his fiddle and confer with the Still
Small Voice.
