BREAK IN CACHE LEYEE
MAKES LAKE 20 MILES SQUARE
BETWEEN WHITE AND
CACHE RIVERS.

Little Rock, Aug. 30.-Another was
added to the long series of floods in
the White river valley of Arkansas
yesterday when levee of Cache riv-
err, a tributary of the lower White,
broke and drove 400 persons from
their homes. They fled eastward be-
fore the flood and joined the refugee
camps at Cotton Plant and Cow
Mound. The entire section between
the White and Cache rivers is now a
vast lake, approximately 20 miles
square.
While all the people are believed to
have escaped, few had time to save
their livestock and the loss is heavy.
One farmer lost $50 cattle and an
other 100.
D. C. Welty, agricultural commits
sioner of the Iron Mountain railroad,
returned to Little Rock yesterday aft
er spending a week navigating the
flood district around Newport in
motorboat. He says that at least s.
600 people within a radius of 200
miles of Newport have been maroon
ed without food since last Monday in
the upper stories and on roofs of
their homes. About 200 of these
reached Newport yesterday and some
were nearly famished.
Food and money from all parts of
Arkansas continued to pour into
Newport and the situation in that
city is we'll in hand. There is abund-
ance to feed the refugees.
Under the direction of DR.. J. H.
White of the United States Public
Health Service, the work of cleaning
up the city is being carried on as fast
as the flood waters subside.

head, the missile penetrating the
brain, Mary Harpole, 15-year-old
daughter of Dunlap Harpole, colored,

was exonerated by the coroner's jury
for the killing. At first no hope was
entertained for the recovery of the
girl, but she continued to improve

who have visited her says her mind is
apparently not injured, although the
bullet passed entirely through the
brain.

WOULD LEVY TAX TO
PAY ENGINEERS COSTS
ANOTHER SUIT FILED AGAINST
CADRON LEVEE AND DAM
DISTRICT.

From Mondays Daily
Following up a case in which the
late George H. Burr was given Judg-
ment against Cadron Levee and Dam
District of Faulkner and Conway
counties for $1,666.66 as compensa-
ton for the surveys and engineering
service rendered by him, Mrs. Ruth
II. Burr, administrators of the estate
of Prof. Burr, has filed suit in chan
Gerry court, asking that the directors
be required to levy an assessment
against the lands in the district sui
ficient to satisfy this judgment.
The district was organized by a
special act of the legislature approx.
ed on May 81, 1911, and it was in
tended to build a dam across Cadron
creek near Gleason to prevent the
overflow of Cadron bottom lands by
backwater from the Arkansas river,
and also to provide such levees as
would be needed. By this means 1T
was expected to reclaim ABOUT 10000
acres of lowlands. From various
causes, however, the project was
abandoned after the surveys had been
made and the district was abolished
by an act of the legislature of 1915.
The latter act, however, provided for
the liquidation of the Indebtedness of
the district through chancery court.
The directors of the district are j..
d. Collier, F. U. Halter and S. S.
Surratt of Faulkner county and Riley
Parker and T. C. Hervey of Conway
county.

The Progressive party in Vermont
seems to be dead one. 1t will
take a pretty strong current TO re.
yive it sufficiently to be an active
factor in another campaign, either
state or national More Of those
who voted the ticket at the last cleo
ton will return to the republican par
ty provided the republican party
leadership is what it ought to be. Ii
the old liners think it is time for
them to take the reins again and put
the party back where it used to be
and they are permitted to do so, a
serious error will be made. Tile pro,
gressive element that has remained
with the party and the progressive
element that left it temporarily
should join hands under the republi
can banner and put the party and hu.
manity and business and the country
where they ought to be and keep
them there. There is neither occas.
ion for rubbing it in nor killing the
fatted calf The most obvious thing
the Progressiyes have accomplished
is to put the democrats in power. but
they have really accomplished more.
They have saved the republican par
ty from itself and forced the retire
ment OF leadership headed toward
the rocks. The recognized rejuvi-
mated republican party with the pro
gressiyes occupying the seats of the
penitent is again proving triumph.
