the county court of PULASKI county
on January 18th has becu cortinIod
until Februarg 25th in order to give
the committee time to investigate
more fully some Of the Technical
points H. the case. AS far as the
city OF Mounds is concerned it mat
ters but little how the question is
decided. To Pulaski county 1t is of
vital importance as the drainage
district embraces about 10000 acres
of our best land The land owners,
the tax payers and the people in
general are anxious that no mistake
be made in settling this great ques-
tion to the best possible advantage
Of all parties concerned. Reason
would teach any one that if the di-
version of Cache river wcuid be n
detriment TO the Cairo Drainage

gtruction of the system The esti

Some OF the testimony showed
that cures had been effected when

in charge that the only hope for
the patient was painful, expensive
and dangerous surgical operation.
After the conclusion of the eyl
dence for the prosecution, the de

WESTWARD CANNERE|s
 AnE NOT DOING WELL

Captain Whitney and P. c. Peltret the inspectors of boilers and hulls who have just returned from the west ward report that the weather is ex ceptionally fine all along the coast this summer. The rivers are low and the water Is very clear. However the salmon run is very light. Up to July 18th the canneries had hardly made showing in their expected packs and they expect to fall very short of their seasons output of a year ago. The Cook Inlet canneries are doing the best they say.
 The only cannery far west that is doing we'll is that at Port Moller where they are using purse seines' and going way out to sea. When the salmon begin running in the rivers they will come so late in the season and in such great numbers that the canneries will not be able to handle them.
