HEARINGS ON OHIO
RIVER ICE HARBORS
ARE GRANTED
Board Of Engineers Of War Depart
ment Invite Statements Of River
Men In This District on Proposal
OF New Ice Piers For Ohio.

Men associated with river interests
In this vicinity have been invited to
submit statements to the Board of
Engineers of the War Department,
relative to the construction of pro-
posed Ice piers In the Ohio River be-
tween Pittsburg anG Cairo. The Ice
piers are designed for the protection
of river craft during the winter
months and especially in the period
when the breaking up Of ice occurs In
the smaller streams emptying into the
Ohio.
This action en- the part of the river
interests is desired In view of the fact
that the Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors Of the War Department
has made tentative recommendation
that no funds be expended for con-
structing the ice harbors.
Maysville and vicinity will be espe-
cially interested in the final outcome
of the ice pier question as the Mays
vile harbor is vitally concerned. The
proposition for the building of new
piers and the improvement of harbors
contains recommendation for the
making of the Maysvlle harbor one of
the best along the Ohio from Pitts
burg to Cairo.
| It will be remembered that during
the last big ice breakup in the Ohio,
there was large fleet of government
boats behind the local piers and the
officers of that fleet greatly praised the
local harbor and later recommended
the improvement of the harbor SO as
to give at least two additional piers
and raise the three piers we now have
to considerable height to make them
of use in high water.
Should the hearing proposed by the
Board of Engineers of the War Depart
ment result in the plan now proposed
before Congress being adopted. Mays
vile would greatly profit therefrom.

Talked Too Long

"The pastor was the most eloquent
orator l ever listened to-" Mark Twain
once said. NHe painted the benighted
condition of the heather so clearly
that my deepest compassion was
aroused and l resolved to break a
lifelong habit and contribute a dol
lar to teach the gospel. AS the
speaker continued 1 decided to give
five dollars and then ten. Finally l
knew it would be my duty to give all
the cash l had with me-S20. The
pleadings of the orator wrought upon
me still further and l decided to Dor
row $40 from my friend in the next
pew and give that also. That was the
time to take up the collection. How
ever, the speaker proceeded, and I
lost interest and dropped
off into sweet slumber. When the
usher woke me up by prodding me in
the ribs with the collection plate, l
not only refused to contribute, but
am ashamed to state l stole 15c from
the plate"

Chicken Caught in Trap

How an Emmett man put stop to
the depredations of his neighbor's
chickens was made public the other
day. Last summer the gentleman in
question had a fine crop of strawber-
ries, but for week or two something
ate all the ripe ones early in the
morning before the family got up.
Who the culprit was was a mystery.
Finally, a steel trap was set and next
morning there was a hen caught in
the traps jaws. The mystery was
explained. A neighbor's chickens had
been hiking over TO the strawberry
patch as soon as it was daylight, tax
ing their ''mornin's mornin' and re-
turning to their home before ordinary
town folks had finished their slumh-
ers. 1t is needless to say that the
were not molested there
after.
