 He said that three-foot channe, m the Arkansas would be all that is necessary, so far as a channel is con- cerned. and this would not cost vorv much If the work is done under the direction of an Arkansas river nilot channel can be maintained in any rlVer Ii the work is done according to ihstrucuons of river pilot. If these improvements are made the boats can be operated alright
 In addition to this tho snaps should De pulled from the bank lines. as well as in midstream or in the chan, hel Boats have to make the landings ana II a snag is in the way a hole will ne torn in the hull just the same as though the obstacle were met in mid stream.
 captain Hicks also remarked that While the channel may not be the same derth all along the route. one should not lose sight of tho fact that Ii It is too shallow at any place, it might as well be shallow al the way. as the boats cannot blow tnrough the shallow water.

WARNING TO SPEEDERS.

The automobile season is now rap
idly approaching, in fact, it IS with
us now. and the inherent desire of
and gasoline will soon be manifested
in the reports to the papers of deaths
and accidents.
The speeders are hereby given fair
warning by the police department OF
the city of Paris with the full co-ope
all of the automobile laws OF the
city, county and State will be enforc
ed to the letter, and that they are ex
pected to be fully advised as to the
requirements of the various laws
Speeding is the breach of the laws
that affect the most people, and the
officers have decided that an attempt
will be made TO break it up, even II
* requires the employment of plain
clothes men TO do it.
AS an illustration of the utter reck
1essness and defiance of the laws THE
NEWS will cite an instance. SundaY
vas a great temptation for the auto
lists TO try out their machines. One
OF these, driven by a Carlisle man
came dashing down Fourth Street
Sunday afternoon. Two Paris citizens
we're about to cross the street at the
corner of Main and Fourth. The dri
yer Of the machine made no attempt
90 warn them by sounding his horn
Eor did he try TO check the speed OF
his machine, which narrowly missed
the .sole at the corner. Two
citizens called the attention to by
ISLANDERS TO the marks left on the
street by the tires to show how mar
row an escape they had made. The
gay boy in the machine, like all other
irresponsible ones of his kind, went
on, unconcerned about anything save
his conoeit in being considered a dash
ing youth"
Some OF these days some citizen Of
the city OF Paris is going to do some
thing that will excite the wrath Of one
CT these speeders and then there will
be a funeral, with the reckless driver
leading the way feet foremost in one
of the auto hearses belonging TO =
Paris undertaken.
Fair warning, boys!
