Wins q Big Case
 In Federal Court

J. E. Daggett of the law firm of Daggett & Daggett of this city, returned yesterday from Little Rock where he appeared as attorney for A. c. Wineman & Son, prominent lumber dealers at Greenville, Miss, in suit against the Anderson-Tul- ly Company, involving title to a body of approximately one thous- and acres of land on Ship Island. The case was tried before Federal Judge Trieber, who decided the case in favor of Wineman & Son. Mir. Daggett was opposed by Judge Allen Hughes of Memphis, and by Attor- hey Montgomery of Tpnica, Miss. The litigation involved the question as to whether the land is in Missis- sippi or Arkansas. If the land were separted from Arkansas by an ac- erection, a gradual wearing away of the land from one bank and the building up of the other bank of the Mississippi river, then it belongs to Mississippi, and the case is not within the Jurisdiction of this court. If, however, the separation was due to an evulsion, sudden shifting of the land, the land belongs to it's original owners and is in Arkansas.

MISSISSIPPI IS
 AGAIN SWOLLEN
RIVER AT MEMPHIS TO REACH STAGE OF 32 FEET-BIC OVERFLOW WAS THREATEN ED FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

High waters are again threaten ing destruction to the growing crops in the lowlands in the eastern DOT ton of Lee county. Following heavy rains up the Ohio and other valleys the Mississippi river began rising last week and by Friday flood warnings were sent out by the weather bureau in Memphis, which at that time predicted a stage of 35 feet in Memphis. This meant that the backwaters would inundate practically all the lowlands in the eastern section of the county. However, the situation has consid- erably improved within the past few days. Fair weather has prevailed and Col. Emery, chief of the wealth CT bureau in Memphis, has revised his prediction and now says the stage at Memphis will probably not exceed 32 feet. Yesterdays reading was 29.5. The river at St. Louis is falling and at Cairo the rise is only slight. It is expected the crest of the rise will reach Memphis by Sun day and after a day or two the river will begin to fall. A maximum stage of 32 feet will of course do some damage, but nothing to com pare with the destruction that would follow a stage of 33 to 35 feet.

Are Seeking Oil
 Near Mariannu

For several years there has been strong suspicion that there are oil and gas deposits on some of the lands in the Phillips Bayou neigh borhood and recently experts have visited that section of Lee and Phil lips counties and made investiga- tion. of the soil. A special sent from Helena to the Commercial Appeal the other day, says:
 Helena, May 5.-N. Howard. an oil expert from Shreveport, La, has been in this vicinity for a week seeking oil. He stated Saturday that he had investigated several To. calities near Helena and felt con- vinced that there was oil somewhere beneath the surface in Phillips county, but whether it could be reached by drilling he was unable to say. For years past the existence of gas indications near Helena has been known and Mir. Howard stated that where there is gas there usual ly is oil. Mir. Howard came to Hell ena at the request of local citizens who have been Investigating the gas and oil question.
 Leases are now being taken on promising land areas and as soon as enough of these can be secured to justify further expenditure of capi- tai well will be sunk in quest of oil. Mir. Howard stated yesterday that at least one we'll and possibly two would be sunk, but he could not say when operations would begin. There are various spots near Hell ena where combustible gas is said to exude from the soil.

FOX FARMING IN ALASKA

An industry that was begun some years ago as a hobby, that of fox Farming, has now grown into a real industry, profitable to those engag- ed in it. In all the provinces of Canada and in many of the north states fox raising is carried on ex- tensively. The Japanese and Nor wegians also are developing this idea having suitable climatic conditions for the raising of foxes for the fur market.

 Backwater, however, stands at an approximate level, much as in a lake, and the level is determined by the height of the water in the river at its point of entry to the area back of the levees. So that back water in Phillips county, for in- stance, coming from gap at the mouth of the St. Francis, would be two feet lower that did it come from four miles above.
 The difference of two feet in the depth of the backwater inundation will mean that on thousands of acres throughout the backwater area crops can be raised without interfer- ence during the normal spring rise, as there are numerous ridges Tn the counties in question.
 Officials of the levee board have estimated that the crops which will be saved both in the four-mile belt freed completely from flood and in the relief given the backwater area each spring will pay for the four miles of levees in one year.
 Tn addition to it's other business the board Tuesday selected de- positary for it's funds in each of the eight counties of the district as fol lows: Craighead, First National Bank of Monette; St. Francis, Bank of Eastern Arkansas at Forreci City; Cross, Parkin Home Bank at Parkin; Mississippi, Bank of Osceols at Osceola; Crittenden, Crittenden County Bank & Trust Co.,, at Mar on; Poinsett, First National Bank at Marked Tree; Lee, Bank o1 Haynes at Haynes.
