 District Map Be Formed

of the project would be determined by the engineers. The estimated cost of the enterprise would be contained in the suvrey report It is probable that the cost would reach more than one million dollars, but those who fla vor the canal say they are willing to pay 8 tax of from $7.50 to $10 per acre in order to secure the benefits, which would include an increase in land values and certainty of crop pro- duction. The city of Newport is in cluded in the proposed district. It is said that many persons in all the counties involved heartily approve the project.
 It is practically certain that an ap- propriatiou for considerable portion of the cost of the improvement can be secured from congress It is not inn probable, we are told, that an appro- priation for the entire cost can be had If the engineers report is favorable, and if the district is. pfaced in actual operation, strong and concerted eff fort on the part of interested persons will be made to secure our delegation in congress to assist in securing what ever government aid possible.

 first degree murder for the killing
 Of John Barton near Amagon last

 Barton and Davis with their fami-
 Oklahoma several months before the
 killing, and were neighbors near VAmagon, Barton being employed by ssDavis on the farm. In March, 1918,
 it is stated, the men engaged in dis Spute, but the matter was settled. In \ November Barton, it is said, sold his possessions at Amagon to Davis, pre- pairing to move away. A few days before the killing both men came to z Newport, and from all accounts were E in a friendly humor. On the 8th of November the men met in the road way near their homes, with the re- suit that a short time later Barton's body was found, Davis surrendering
 to the officers late that afternoon. There was no witness to the killing. Davis claims that Barton shot at him first, there being no explanation of the trouble which led to the killing.
 Witnesses for the defense claim that

ME MORAL DAY |s
 PLEASANT AFFAIR
More Than One Hundred w. c. T. U, Workers Attend Willard Service
 Here Last Wednesday.

It has long been the custom of the local w. c. T U. to observe Willard Memorial Day" some time in Feb ruary, near Frances E. Willard's birthday. The occasion is not one of sorrow, but of joy and thankfulness for the beautiful life and noble work sof Miss Willard as National, and then as world president of the w. 0. T. U.s On Wednesday afternoon about one hundred guests assembled at the home of Mrs. A. T. Hubby to celebrate this sweetly joyous occasion.
 The hostess had decorated her re- Iception room and dining room with beautiful, fragrant hot house flowers.
 The program was an unusually good one. Rev. w. c. Mitchell of the Baptist church spoke first on "The Past of Prohibition" followed by Rev. J. F. B. Bates of the Methodist church, whose subject was ssThe Press ent Status of Prohibition" Rev. c. Bridenthal spoke on "The Future Of Prohibition" All of these are com paratively new men in our commun- ity, and each group of those present must have felt especially proud of the address of their pastor. Mrs. Dor sey's address followed, and when she spoke of how Mrs. Tom Johnson and MT. Fred R. Suits had stood in the same archway just one year ago and talked to the same gathering, many were moved to tears.
 Mrs. Carl Bellingrath and Rev. M. c. Mitchell sang beautiful solos ana Rev. and W. c. Mitchell delighted the audience with wonderful duet. Tho w c. T. U. is indebted to Miss Ro4E wena Campbell for playing all- compartments so cheerfully and for S very pretty piano solo.
 Mrs. Isaacs is to be congratulated on the delicious refreshments shS| served with the assistance of several ladies and half a dozen little girls| from the w. c. T. U. family.
 The freewill offering of $2O.5O will. be used in part for the support Of the French orphan adopted in the mein- ory of MT. Frederick Suits, and in part to carry on the mission work which is always done by our national organization.

MRS. SCARBORUGH'S FINAL REPORT OF THE
 KNITTING DEPARTMENT

The knitting department of the Jackson County Chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross made it's fifteenth and final shipment of knitted garments on February 15, inst, and has re- ceived orders to discontinue the work.
 This shipment consisted of AS socks and ten sweaters, making total of 3911 knitted garments made and shipped to Division Headquarters at St Louis since it's organization May, 1917.
 We desire to express our apprecia- tion of the earnest work of the wo- men of Jackson county, which has made this work possible. The chair men of the various knitting units over the county, have been faithful and conscientious, and have responded promptly to every call. Sometimes there have been long delays when yarn could not be obtained, then when shipment of wool arrived, there would frequently be more willing hands than available material. When we had the material to distribute the work always progressed steadily and without the slightest friction or un- pleasantness; we were working for a common and noble cause our coun- try and our men in uniform.

WOULD ELECT COMMISSIONERS.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 21.-The Senate yesterday afternoon rejected the pro- posal to make the contemplated Ark ansas Corporations Commission elec- tive instead of appointive as origi- nally provided in Senate Bill No. 133 Senator Emory's measure creating the commission.
 The senate's action was taken in two votes on the amendment offered by the joint house and senate com mittee which considered the bill mak- | ing the membership of the commis-
 sion elective instead of appointive.
 The first vote was vive voce and there were none in the negative. Senator Ward of Lee County, who
 was not on the floor of the Senate at the time this action was taken pre- cipitated a fight on it when he re-
 turned, and succeeded in bringing the
 amendment up for reconsideration. After heated arguments for and against the appointive system, a standing vote was taken, and the amendment was again defeated by a
 vote of IT to IA.
 Following Senator Wards attack
 on the amendment, Senator Cald-
 well submitted an amendment which ! would have exempted electric water
 and gas companies from the provis-
 ions of the bill. This amendment pre- cipitated another fight, which ended i in the defeat of Senator Caldwell's amendment.
 "You might as well kill this bill" l" Senators Emory and Cazort told Sen ator Caldwell.
 "In view of the powerlessness of the present railroad commission, which the new commission would take over, and the huge expense it will be to the state, think we might as well kill the bill," Senator Caldwell re- torted. "This railroad commission of ours is as useless right now as $100 saddle without any horse to put it on. The government is handling the rail roads and no commission can do any thing with them.'
 Senator Ward attacked the bill, with it's provision for appointment of all three members of the commission by the governor, as the "most vicious instrument ever presented in this body" The bill now goes to the en- crossing committee, after which it will be brought out for final action on the floor of the senate.

HORSE RACING.
Special to Independent.


 Little Rock, Feb. 21.-An unsuc- cessful effort was made in the house yesterday afternoon, just preceding adjournment, to call up the Doyle bill to prohibit horser-racing within three miles of any church or school house in the state. The proponents of the bill had been sparring for an opening, and it came on the roll-call of Representa- tive Porter of Boone. The opponents, led by the Garland county delegation, had opposed the proposition, and while no open fight was made on the floor, they succeeded in preventing a two-thirds vote for the suspension of the rules to take up the bill.
