Government Engineers Oppose Eurthei
Wasting of Public Money on White
River Locks and Dams.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—
The war department in a letter
to congress, holds that St. Fran
cis river is not worthy of improve
ment, beyond the limits of
the present project, which pro
vides for snagging operations;
also that construction of further
locks .and dams in upper White
river is not desirable for the
reason that the railroad has en
tered the lead and zinc area and
afforded outlet for that product.
Two locks and dams are already
completed in upper White River
but the government enginers
assert that eleven more locks and
dams including three below
Batesville, would be required to
make the project a success. This
would mean a total outlay of
more than $3,000,000.
Representative Macon has in
troduced a bill to preserve and
maintain the river channel of
White River near Augusta. The
bill carries an appropriation of
— $50,000 for the purpose.
Again Ignores Committee.
President Roosevelt has again
ignored the Republican organiza
tion of Arkansas. The state
committee at a meeting held in
Little Rock recommended Car
rick W. White for postmaster
at Walnut Ridge. It was stated
to the committee at the time
that S. W. Andrews was also
a candidate for the office, but
he preferred to send his papers
direct to the department at
Washington. The president has
"If notified the senate that he has
appointed Mr. Andrews.

• LAKE’S PENALTY STANDS.
Lake’s Trickery In Cotton Will Put Hin
In iail Unless He Coughs Up.
Little Rock, Dec. 12.—The
United States circuit court of ap
peals at St. Louis had dismissed
the appeal of E. H. Lake, whc
was ordered by Judge Triebei
on January 24 last to pay intc
the registry of the court $60,
953.72. which it was found he
had failed to account for aftei
the failure of the Alphin-Lake
Cotton Company with the pro
vision that if he failed to paj
the amount within thirty days
after the order was entered he
should be confined in the Pulask:
county jail until the further or
der of the court.
The action of the circuit courl
of appeals is considered here tc
be final, and if this is true Lake
will be required to fulfill the con
ditions of Judge Trieber’s order.
This would mean that he would
be compelled to pay into courl
- $60,954.72 or go to jail to remair
until the court should order his
release.

Catarrhal
Gastritis
“For two years I was in a
very bad condition. I was
treated by a number of emi
nent physicians for chronic
catarrhal gastritis and dilata
tion of the stomach, and ob
tained no relief. I grew grad- |
daily worse, my breathing was j
so difficult at times that I
thought I would die. My heart j
was in very bad condition from
poor circulation and pressure '
of the dilated stomach. I de- j
cided it was only a matter of a
very short time with me. I
was advised to try Dr. Miles’
Nervine and Heart Cure, and !
before I had finished taking
one bottle of the medicine I
felt like a new being. I took
eight bottles of the medicine, !
and am entirely cured, for a
matter of about $8.00 in the !
face of two hundreds spent in
the two years before without
relief.” A. D. SLACK,
Master Mechanic of the I. & G. N.
