DIRT FLYING ON THE
WEST HICKMAN LEVEE.

With all interested parties CO.
operating IN the fullest measure,
work was begun in earnest on
the West Hickman levee yester-
day morning by the Dixie Con-
structlon Co, who have the con-
1raet for the work. They have
their work train and about forty
men at work now. BY Monday
morning Mr.. Morley hopes TO
have double this number of men
and another work train on the
Job.
The right of way for the le-
zee was cleared first of the week,
or enough of it to give the con
struetIon company plenty of
room, and train load after train
load of dirt is now being dump
ed on the new levee line. The
big steam shovel is digging dirt
fer this embankmet from the j.
W. Ward property south of town.
FINER earth for levee building
could not be asked, as it is of d
sticky clay formation that will
stay put"
The levee is to have a 6S foot
base and will be several feet
higher than the standard gov
el nment levees, which insures
adequate protection from even
higher waters than we We ever
experienced.
The levee committee was indeed
fortunate in securing the SER
wees of the Dixie people on this
Job. They are thoroughly equip
ped for this kind of work, be-
sides being experienced III it.
With favorable weather, the work
Will go forward rapidly. 1t is
interesting TO watch them at this
work. Everything is done by
specially designed, powerful ma
chinery. The cars are loaded by
machinery, the dirt is dumped
by machinery-and the spread by
"a huge steel wing projecting from
a ear, putting the dirt at exact
ly the right place and leaving il
as smooth as a marble ground.
Nothing succeeds like success
West Hickman is going to be pro
tected from such disasters as We
experienced in 1912-13-16, which
means that end of town will forg'
ahead.
