Blythe heville.

BlytneV1lle.-
 An enormous fertile area of land be- tween the St. Francis and Little riv- CTS, east of Big Lake, will be openel up by this drainage project. In recent months tremendous demands have been experienced for lands in North east Arkansas, and such is the condi- tion that little doubt is felt that the drained lands will be cleared up and converted into profitable farms as fast as they become fit for cultivation.
 Tn addition to construction of more than 300 miles of canals and ditches, plans for the district contemplate util- ization of existing channels of Little River and Right Hand Chute, as far as possible. In order to do this to the best advantage, it will be necessary to divert part of the flow of Little River into Right Hand Chute and pth into the outlet channel of Drainage Dis trict No. g, of Mississippi county.
 Drainage on colossal scale is to be undertaken in the Keystone Drainage District of Arkansas in which 2S0,000 acres of land in Poinsett, Craighead and Mississippi counties is to be re- claimed
 Plans for the system of 300 miles of canals, which will constitute the second largest drainage system in the United States, is being prepared by the Morgan Engineering Company of Memphis. They will be filed with the commissioners of the drainage district at Blytheville, Ark, within 30 days.
 Cost of the improvements likely will run into the millions
 Located in extreme Northeast Ar Kansas, the Keystone District is imme- diately south of the Little River Dis trict in Missouri the largest drain asag 3 ge system in the UnitestnepSste Though part of the water fro4R stne Little River District is carried into the Mississippi river, a large portion of its water flows south into Arkansas through Little River.
 This very fact almost neeessitated action on the part of residents of Mississippi, Craighead and Poinsett counties, as matter of self-protection from the water dumped on them by the Missouri district.

BEGIN ON REPLY Y TO
 GENERAL CARRANzA
REFUSED TO APPROVE PRoTo- COL SIGNED BY COMMISSION
 MEMBERS AT ATLANTIC CITY.

ngton.-American members Of the joint Am erican- Mexican commits sion went to work on their response to the last communication of General Carranza, who, it is now admitted, of ficially refTsed to approve the proto- col signed by the commission mem bers at Atlantic City for withdrawal of Ameri can troops from Mexico and the cooperative border patrol,
 A number of circumstances lead to the belief that the joint commission may abandon it's attempt to conoose the international difficulties, and that Henry P. Fletcher may be sent soon to the post of ambassador to Mexico, for which he was confirmed nearly a year ago. The text of the protocol was published for the first time.
 There were further insistent re- ports, lacking of confirmation, that the administration is seriously con- sidering ordering General Pershing's troops back to American soil to be distributed along the border for mili- tary reasons, regardless of Carranza's attitude.
 Eliseo Aredondo, Mexican ambassa- dor designate, announced he had been called to Mexico City by General Car ranza for a conference, but that he would return to his duties here in about three weeks.
 It was announced that the American commissioners only would make statement of their position to the President and in Mexican quarters was taken to forecast an end of the commissions negotiations. An an- swer is being prepared to Carranza's plea for notifications in the protocol but it was said that was not to be discussed with the President.
 The end of the commissions nego- tiations was considered by other off cials to be preliminary to new line of procedure in Mexican relations. which is expected to begin with the sending of Henry P. Fletcher to his post as American ambassador to Mexi- co City, and the withdrawal of the American military expedition.
