Gentlemen:-
The rising river has again stopped all
levee work since the 1st Of January, ex-
cept land side enlargement at Bunches
Bend. Some ten stations OF the enlarge
ment at Cottonwood has been completed.
That portion of ''Sa)em," which
showed weakness during the water OF
1918, has been covered by the new en-
largement and should give us no trouble
in the future.
The contractor repairing slides at Reid
Biggs, has been delayed in his work by
high water and recent rains. He had
one slide excavat ted and the second one
about half out, when tie recent food in
the upper river required the refilling OF
the cuts. On account OF frequent rains.
the contractor made little progress. ]
took one of the partially filled slides of
his hands and put in an extra force. All
the dirt should be replaced in the next
week, well in advance OF the rising river.
The enlargement on st. Joseph front
has been completed. The contractor
will move on punch bowl levee in about
two weeks.
The rising water has cut of the pit
room for topping at Hollybrook when
this work was half completed.
All Government work has been delayed
OH account of frequent high waters.
New loops will have to be put in at
Hagerman and Fairview this year, on
account of caving banks. The bank is
caving pretty rapidly at Millikins Bend
and Deer Park, at the latter point new
levee will be rather expensive on account
of lite height and the nature Of the ground
to build over.
In reference of the 100000 unsold
bonds Of our Board, 1 have assurance
that they will be disposed Of in the next
sixty days. I visited Reid Biggs levee
yesterday and find progress very salts
factory. The I'll already in, will stand a
stage of 80 feet on the Vicksburg gauge
and with reasonable weather will be COM
pleted within a week.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. RHODES, President.
There being no further business, on
, motion the Board adjourned until the
next regular meeting.
E. C. RHODES, President.

Ashton. Kirke is = young man OF high
social position and great wealth; he lie a
deep student and learned in tie lore Of
ancient tablets and forgotten books. His
keen mind delights in those mysteries
which hare proven too shadowy Tor the
police. He 6nds icy in the hunt;
there ia thrill In matching his inteli-
eence against the craft Of the criminal.
His interest in the mystery OF The
House OF Fear Cramps house wac
awakened by Pendleton, aho, az guest
OF Cramps communicated to Kirk, his
friend, the strange sense of mystery and
fear surrounding Cramps hhuse.
In Cramps household lives Grace, his
sister, Miss Hohenlo, his aunt and Kretz,
his servant. Kirk learns through his
agent in Mexico that Cramps father was
an expert engraver in Mexico years be-
lore, and his astute mind connects this
fact with the number Of Mexicans in the
vicinity. He alec learns that, in time
of financial stress, Cramps father forged
some currency plates for one Alva, an
INSCRIPTIONS Mexican, but at the last
moment, failed to deliver them. At the
time of Kinks visit, the plates rested Sc
curely under a great stone in the celler OF
Cramps house, and the presence OF thu
prowline, murderous Mexicans, headed
by Alva, was explained by this. The
perplexing question, however, was how
these intriguers managed to gain nightly
entrance to the celler in their search for
the plates. 1t takes Ashton-Kirke to re-
solve the queer markings on the string ci
package sent to Miss Hohenlo, into tn.
message, tonight" That night KirL
and his aides wait in the celler, as the
unsuspecting Miss Hohenlo lets in her
confederates. There is big scene in
which Alva and his men are overpowered.
and it is learned that Miss Hohenlo is
Alva's wife.
Thus does Ashton-Kirk solve the mys-
terry of the "House of Fear"

Blow Up the Menace Plant?

A BRIEF dispatch appears in our timid
Georgia dailies, stating that three bombs
exploded in The Menace plant, Aurora, Mis-
souri,, at O'Clock Saturday morning.
The New York Evemirg San says that the
plant was wrecked.
1t also states the Menace has been the OBJ
ject of continuous Roman Catholic persecu-
ton.
The Sun says:
The Menace has been the object of attack by
the Roman Catholic Church for several years,
because of the character Of the articles which it
publishes. The paper, which is issued weekly,
is devoted solely to spreading anti-Catholic views.
The papers circulation reaches every part of the
country.
In January, 1915, the Roman Catholic Church
started nationwide movement to stop publ
cation of the Menace The movement originated
at a meeting held in the Dominican Church at
st. Vincent Ferrer Lexington avenue and Sixty
sixth street.

THE Constitution of the United States is

The Pope's K. of c. are not doing any
particular harm, except that they beat up
Protestant preachers, attack Protestant
churches, riotously prevent lectures against
the use Of State money by the Popes ''reli-
