They have corn mill there and are grinding all the meal from their home grown corn used in the county hospital, jail and other county institutions. He has greatly improved conditions hereto fore existing at the county farm, has furnished the men with more cloth ing, bedding, pillows, etc, as well as putting in sanitary closets, baths, etc, remedying the unwholesome and unsanitary conditions which have al- ways existed on the farm.
 In addition to putting scrip at par the county always discounts its bills, receiving a discount of 2 per cent, more or less, for cash within ten days of purchase. This amounts to thou sands of dollars in the course of year. On one machine purchased a few days ago the discount the cash discount amounted to was $l70.
 
 There was very small exhibit of. livestock, but a pen of Red Duroe pigs exhibited by A. E. Avery were as pretty as a picture.
 A very fine large Holstein COW was exhibited by L. E. Miller.
 The poultry exhibit was large and fine, consisting of the various strains of chickens as we'll as four pens of ducks, guineas and geese.
 Too much rain early and later drouth had discouraging effect on the garden and farm exhibits. MT. Ed Dixon had some of the largest pumkpins I have seen this year, grown on his Arkansas rice farm. The exhibit of farm products was very creditable and the ladies ex- hibit of canned goods, preserves, etc, was very superior.
 Ladies fancy goods and needle work bore testimony as to the expert ness of the ladies and was an excep- tionally creditable exhibit.
 The building was tastefully deco rated and the entertainments put on at nights for which small admit tance fee was charged were unusually good and on some occasions the crowd was so large that the large hall would not accommodate 1t.
 Several of Little Rocks firm had exhibits, among others Freeman and Freeman had Fordson tractor on exhibition and demonstrated it. The land was too hard for teams to plow, being sorghum stubble grown up in grass and weeds.
 The first time through it stalled on small stump, away below where the ordinary blow reached, then re- turning, the plow after cutting through stump stalled in sand bed, the wheels spinning. The first round made rdige four feet wide and three feet high, the next round left a good grade for narrow road. and by the fourth round was left a grade wide enough for a public road These graders are proving successful in the country and are doing world of good in enabling the farmer on smooth land to make a success of his business.

GREAT FALLSPLAN
CALLED HAZARDOUS
Mr.: Weeks Gives Congress
Report Condemning Lever
ing Improvement Project.

Exceedingly hazardous experiment
not undertake." is the opinion of the
Army engineers signed by Brig. Gen
H. Taylor. senior member of the board
and transmitted to Congress yester-
dav by Secretary Weeks. as chair
man of the Federal Power Commits
sion. after a study of the so-cal1ed
Levering plan for harnessing Great
Falls.
This opinion refers to the "Leverins
type of dam. whether at Chain bridge
or Great Falls" the report states.
The author of the plan thus dis
credited is J. H. lowering. Los
Angeles engineer. He proposes erec-
tion of two earthen dams in the Poto-
mac river, the lower one near Chain
bridge.
The report again lays stress on the
desirablity of constructing ma
sonry dam as already recommended
ny the Army engineers. which it says
''is in accordance with conservative
and successful practice
Summary and Conclusions.
In summarizing the finding of the
board. after observing that the Lever
ing plans furnish too little informa-
ton to enable clear idea of the
fnetnOQ anu OetdllS OF construction
proposed by Mr.. Levering. the report
says:
The art of constructing earthen
dams is one that has been evolved
from experience. The strains in such
dams are not susceptible of rigid anal
HSiS, and the wise course is to adopt
designs in accordance with expert
ence and good precedent. The Lever
ing proposals are novel. and contem-
plate application to new construc-
tion of great magnitude details that
have never been successfully tested
anywhere. even on small scale. Pru-
dence and reasonable regard for the
money of the government and the in
terestS and safety of the people of the
locality dictate the rejection of this
plan, which. as shown by the discus
sion. cannot be regarded as having
the elements of safety and stability
that should characterize such con-
struction.
Masonry dams for the development
Of power have been built everywhere.
1t is possible to apply to them the
usual engineering methods of analy-
sis with some certainty that the the
oretical deductions will be justified by
subsequent experience and that the
money invested will not be lost nor
the lives of people living nearby
placed in jeopardy.
Masonry Dam Commended.
The plans already recommended
by this board for developing power
at Chain bridge propose a masonry
dam Of we'll recognized type whose
design is in accordance with conserv-
ative and successful practice. The
head to be developed. 100 feet. is no;
unusually great, and we feel sure
that the dam is sufficiently strong to
Withstand all the strains that it will
be called upon to undergo.
believing that all the features of
the case thatwe were desired to con-
slider have been adequately discussed
in the preceding portion of this re-
port. we close by stating categori-
cally that We regard the lowering
type of dam, whether at Chain bridge
or at Great Falls, as an exceedingly
hazardous experiment and one that
the government should not under
take"

HOSPITAL SPIRITS TAKEN.
Three Men Arrested When Alcohol
Goes Into Bootleg Whisky.

Forty-five gallons of alcohol, stolen
from Sibley Hospital ten days ago,
formed the basis for much bootleg
whisky disposed of in this city, ac-
cording to the police.
The alcohol was in a barrel stored
in the basement of the hospital, and
Detective Joseph Waldron of the sec
ond precinct reported that he had
traced the intoxicant. but not in time
to recover any OF it.
The detective arrested three color
ed men on suspicion of having stolen
the alcohol. 1t was learned that the
stolen fluid had been disposed Of in
gallon lots. the price charged being
$12 a gallon, far below bootleg prices
and about one-half the price charged
for it by druggists.
When taken to the police station

ington and Thomas Cook. living at
