The state scored in a number of

One case which attracted consider

was minor one, was that of the

with cattle stealing. The crime was

Some of the advocates of these two
plans want to take away from con-
gress the power to decide what
should be done and from the army
engineers the execution of the works
thta are ordered. Others believe that
congress should outline a general
plan and then turn over lump sum
each year to the army engineers to be
expended according to their judg-
ment.
There is a genenal impression that,
among other changes that will be
made by the administration that will
come into power on the fourth of next
March, will be change in the meth
cd of dealing with the improvement
of rivers and harbors. If press re-
ports Of addresses made by president
elect Harding are correct, he believes
a change is desirable and is inclined
to favor the appointment of commits
sion. Further study may change his
opinion, however and a discussion of
the various plans proposed should be
an interesting and valuable feature of
the convention.

Always pack meat skin-side-dowr
