Anniversary OF
BIRTH GEN. GRANT
PRESIDENT HAHDlNG DELIVERS
ADDRESS AT BIRTHPLACE.

Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 81
The nations of the world of their
efforts to recover from the disas-
trous effects of the world war need
more of the spirit of magnamity with
which General Ulysses S. Grant well
coined victory at the close of the civil
war, President Harding said here to-
day at the ceremonies commemorat-
ing the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of the hero of the SOS.
The president spoke from a plat
form in front of a little village store
to throng that had come to the
hamlet birthplace of General Grant
to pay homage to the great generals
memory. Resentment of war must
not be perpetuated if peace is to pre-
vail. the president said. His words
were directed to Europe.

MISSOURI CUTS
INTO FARM LAND
YANKTON COUNTY HAS LOST
SEVERAL THOUSAND ACRES
PLAN TO CHECK 1T

Yankton, April II. Yankton
county has lost probably some 5000
or 1000 acres through the encroach-
ment of the Missouri river during the
past two decades, in the opinion of
Fred Towl, representative of the
Woods Brothers Construction Co., of
Lincoln. Nebraska, who is organizing
districts along the river for protec-
tion purposes.
Within the last year some hun
dreds of acres have gone into the tur-
bulend stream, even the high water
so far this spring having caused a
loss that would mount up into a large
money figure. The Missouri river is
gradually working northward toward
theDakota shore along practically
the entire southern border of Yank-
ton county. and also along the course
of the river as far as Sioux City. As
it cuts on the Dakota side it is build
ing UP bottom land on the Nebraska
SIDE. making the trade from state to
State without any compensation for
the Dakota losers.
The cutting is worst at certain
points in Yankton county. 1t is the
habit of the stream to alternate from
shore to shore, but the chief cutting
is on the Dakota side all the way
down from Yankton to Sioux City,
Smutty Bear bottom is vanishing.
One of the chief points of attack is
there, just above the city, and the
prospect is that the road leading up
the bottom will be carried out in the
June rise this spring. Water may
be tapping at the foot of the Gilman
hill this summer, in the opinion OF
Mr.. Towl. unless prompt action can
be taken to throw the current from
the bank and cause a sand bar to
form. And there is even prospect,
in his opinion, that the bluffs above
town are not impregnable to the un-
dermining action of the water. They
will gradually cave off as they have
done before, because there is no~rocB
apparent in their base to resist the
current.
Mr.. Towl has been keeping close
watch of the bank cutting situation
this spring all the way from here tt
Sioux City, making trips every few
days all along the stream, and or
both sides. Between here and Yer
million the northward movement ol
the river is very rapid. Below the
mouth of the Jim river the Missouri
has taken away large portion o.
corn field, belonging to the Val
Osdel farm, which produced goot
crop last year. There is a prospec
that the river will cut through th'
point of land just above the OLE
mouth of the Jim, for there the cur
rent must turn at almost righ
angle. and the sandbar on the oppo
site side is constantly building ou
and narrowing the channel. AT tha
point the channel is narrowest of an
point in this region, and it will offe
a fine place for ice gorging i'm tn
future.

OPEN CAMPS To
DOUBLE TRACK
v. MD. RAILWAY
Cumberland Yards Scene OF
Activity As Contractors
Unload Equipment.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. 90
The initial move in the plans that
will eventually result in the double
tracking of the Western Maryland
railway between Connellsville and
Cumberland has been started at
lockwood. where the Ferguson &
Holbert Company. West Virginia
contracting firm. unlOaded equip.
mcnt for construction work.
Camps are being erected at South
lockwood to take care of the men
and horses and mules during the
winter. The company expects 10
employ 100 or more men within n
few weeks. Horses, mules. dump
carts and one power crane have
arrived and two more cranes are on
the way.
Delays Of from 80 minutes to three
hours are oCcasioned upon Western
Maryland trains at lockwood, due
to the water station and coaling
plant both at that place, and it is
likely that in an effort to do away
as much as possible with these de.
lays. the work of double tracking
was begun at this point.
The western Maryland. since the
completion some years ago OF its
link between Cumberland and Con
nellsville, has been catering to the
moving of freight rather than
passenger service. due to the fact
that it receives all the freight it can
handle from the New York Central
through the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie at COnnellsVille.
When the road was built, provision
was made for double-tracking in the
construction OF all bridges.
