Dearborn draws three feet nine inches
of water and in some cases they have
found travelling exceedingly slow.
: Captain Stinger, in an interview

canal will have to be greatly improved
if 'munition are to be hauled. The

shape but from Morris to Ottawa the
canal is very shallow and filed up
with mud The Mexican ships that
made the trip experienced great
deal of trouble, owing to the fact that
their boats have very wide hull.
1T might be possible that fiat boats
which do not require a great deal OF
water, could travel thru the canal, but
many Of the locks will have to be re
raired.

SULPHUR |. SPRINGS
PLANS GREAT HOTEL
IN TWO MORE YEARS
CAMPAIGN TO
BE STARTED TO PLACE RE-
SORT IN FRONT RANK WITH
FRENCH LICK AND EXCELSIOR
SPRINGS.

Sulphur Lick Springs will be the
equal of French Lick Springs of lndi-
ana, Excelsior Springs of Missouri, or
the German water resorts il the plans
of W. T., Fuller, secretary of the Sui
phur Lick Springs Hotel Co., material
ize, and Judging from the past devel-
opments there is no reason to doubt
but what they will.
The Sulphur Lick Springs hotel was
built about seven years ago, and from
the day of its opening to the present
time it has paid expenses and made
sufficient interest on the investment to
improve the property to the extent OF
several thousand dollars. The conf
pany is incorporated for 100000, but
of this amount only $9l 900 worth OF
stock has been issued which is repre-
scented by its equivalent in buildings
and grounds. II is now proposed to
issue $4,000 additional stock and In
crease the capacity Of the hotel from
twenty to seventy-four rooms. The
new extension will be built to the
south of the present building and cree
ton will commence just as soon as
Mr. Fuller succeeds in placing the $50,-
600 worth of stock which Is now of
fered for sale.
At the present time a spring house
is being built ever the Sulphur Springs
and other improvements are being
made which will cost in the neighbor
hood of Il5,0GC. The Spring has ca
pacity of nearly 500 gallons per min
ute, the greater portion of which water
goes to waste in the Illinois River.
The company proposes to develop It's
bottling plant, bottle the water and
ship IL all over the world 1t Is claim
ed that this water has the same min
eral properties as the waters OF
French Lick and are not unlike the
waters of West Baden. The water
from these famous resorts are being
shipped to all parts of the world and
in cafes. hotels and buffets command
higher price than so called manu-
! featured soft and hard drinks.
The building of the new annex IS
only a starter Just as soon as con
struction is finished an extensive ad-
vertising campaign will he started and
Sulphur ick Springs will be heralded
all over the world as one Of the great
est health resorts in the county.
When this campaign Is well under way
work upon a new and larger hotel OF
two hundred rooms will be com
menced. 1t is expected that this con
struction will begin in 1919.

ience in the advertising line and II

enthusiastic over the Sulphur Springs

TON|CA BANKERS
ONE STEP NEARER
THE PEN|TENT|ARY
COURT FINDS NO
SERIOUS ERROR IN RECORD
AND ExONERATES ATTORNEY
BROWNE FROM ANY MiScON-
DUCT.

John II. Hartenbower and George
D. Hiltabrand, the Tonica bankers
who were convicted in the LA Sale
county circuit court and sentenced to
the penitentiary, will have TO serve
their sentences unless the supreme
court interferes. The appellate court
today upheld the findings Of the low
er court
The Tonica bank failed Nov. II,
1918, with liabilities of $5l4, ,l94.59.
The plaintiffs in error went into bank
ruptcy with scheduled assets of $551,-
G4S57, but the assets realized but
$42, 80 and'90 per cent Of amounts
on deposit lost to the depositors.
One OF the principal points raised
by the plaintiffs was in reference to
the employment of Atty. L. o. Browne
as special prosecutor and his presence
in the grand jury room when facts
concerning the misconduct of the Ton.
lea bankers were presented to the
grand jurors. The court holds that
Mr. Browne acted within his rights,
altho there Is some conflict in author
ity over the right of an attorney to be
present in the grand jury room. But
the weight of authority SENS to
hold that the fact that special at
torney was present before the grand
Jury and assisted in examining wit
nesses, will not void an indictment ii
he was not present during the deliber
ations Of the grand Jury and not
guilty Of further misconduct.
The court holds that the constitu
tonal rights of plaintiffs were not vic
lated when facts secured from tn
bank books by the trustee were OF
fsred in evidence and that no i'm
proper valuation or disposal of assets
was made by the trustee. The opin
