B|G CELEBRATION IS PLANNED FOR

 Biggest Success.

In order to insure the greatest possible measure of success for the celebration planned for the Fourth of July, the various committees are making every effoirt to perfect the arrangements for putting on the events decided upon so far.

MAIN RIVER NOW
 AIDS RAILROADS
A Large Part of Waters of Lost Slough Is Now Turned Into
 the Main River.

Reports received from out the line are to the effect that with the receding of the recent flood waters to some extent, the jam formed at the head of Lost Slough by the driftwood and other impedimenta would appear to be quite effective and that a large portion of the waters that hitherto flowed down the channel across the grade is now finding it's way into the old channel in the main river.
 It is stated that if the water goes down a little lower and remains at that level for any considerable time, it may be possible to put in a dam to support the present pile of drift formed at the head of the Slough and thereby reduce to large ex- tent, the volume of water that flows in the channel across the right of way.
 Reports also indicate that the re- ceeding water has disclosed the fact that the two dams constructed at the head of Lost Slough had been carried away almost entirely. All that remained of these flood pro- lection works appear to be a few of the piles about in the center of the south dam.
 Driftwood and gravel appears to have found lodgment against these remaining piles and to have been added to steadily until it has reach ed such proportions as to have been able to turn to the old channel a considerable volume of water that would otherwise have flowed in the channel cut across the right of way.
 The damage done to the big 13OO- foot trestle has been considerable. Reports received at the commence ment of the floods indicated that some of the bents had been under mined and pushed out of alignment and that one bent only had been carried away, but it now is reported by arrivals in town from that sec tion of the country that about six bents in the middle of the structure have gone out.
 It is not known definitely whether the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion intend to repair the structure, but it is considered probable that in view of the fact that the bridge here will not be used for some time to come at least, the repairs will not be undertaken until within a reasonable time of the actual laying of steel across Lost Slough.
 The steel has been laid to within thousand yards of the bridge, but it cannot be put in use for hauling on until the grade for a considerable distance has been fixed and the track ballasted.

COHEN WANTS ROOVER TO FIX
FARM LABOR PRICES

Owing to the scarcity of labor and
the high price of same, Mat Cohen,
Commissioner of Agriculture, yester-
day addressed a communication to
Herbert Hoover, Federal Food Dicta-
tor, calling upon him to fix maxi
mum prices on farm labor. This step
was taken by Commissioner Cohen as
the threshing season is at hand, and
the price of farm labor almost pro-
hibitive. Threshing outfits are de-
handing fifty cents a bushel for
threshing grain and with the price of
farm labor ranging from five to seven
dollars a day and sacks at thirty
cents apiece, Commissioner Cohen
said that farmers would realize but
eighty-five cents net for their grain.
He called upon Mr.. Hoover to in
struct his county agents to call a
meeting of the farmers and farm la
borers, to include owners of thresh-
ing outfits, to place maximum price
upon farm labor, and also upon the
amount to be charged per bushel for
threshing grain. Before the prevail
ing high cost of things, Commissioner
Cohen said that grain was threshed
for as low as six cents a bushel.

HOWARD BROS CIRCUS TO Elk.
81 HIBIT HERE TODAY.

The small boys, as well as many
boys and women, too, of larger
growth, who used to think that even
the smell of the tanbark under a cir
Gus tent was well worth the admis-
sion price, are delighted at the pros
pect of a circus coming to Paris af-
ter the lapse of many years. How
ard Bros Circus, a combination OF
the Howard Bros Shows and the
Gentry Bros Pony and Dog Shows
will exhibit in this city to-day, Civ
ing two performances, afternoon and
evening, on the lot on Winchester
street, adjoining the Wilson seed
house.
: The Frankfort State Journal gives
a very complimentary notice of the
shows, which were in Frankfort
Monday, describing it as one Of the
Icleanest and best performances ever
given by a circus in that city. The
circus carries the usual line of at
fractions that go to make the shows
popular.
The afternoon performance, which
begins at 2:15 o'clock, will be pre-
ceded by a street parade about 10: 80
o'clock. The night performance will
begin at 1880 o'clock. Come early
and get the. best seats before the
crowd surges in and roots you away
from places of vantage where the &C
ton is the quickest and best seen.
