ASKS GOVERNMENT AID.

Knox Man Urges Reclamation of Kankakee River Lands. Washington, June 3. —Representative Barnhart, of Rochester, Xnd., received a, letter to-day from Charles D. Peters, of Knox, Ind., inquiring if steps can be taken whereby the government will assume charge of the Kankakee river, with a view to straightening the channel and removing the rock in the stream at a point .near Momence, 111. It is asserted that such improvement would be of inestimable benefit to commerce and result in the reclamation of a large area of marsh lands. Mr. ' Barnhart will have a conference with Senator Shively regarding the matter. The chances of the government doing anything in the matter, however, are remote. It is held by the engineer’s department that as the benefits to be derived by the improvement desired are purely local the state of Indiana should assume the expense and not the general government.

the latest to let the sunlight in upon its rich farming lands. The writer of this old letter notes that money is : scarce and times are hard, and then gives some prices/ of current commodities. “Corn is now 25 cents a bushel, wheat 50 cents a bushel, bacon 2)4 cents a pound; there are plenty of deer and turkey, badgers and Indians.” Deer' and turkeys, were so cheap that they were not regarded worth quoting. They were in the woods, and whenever anybody desired either he took down his rifle and powder horn, went out and shot one. Neither was there any quotation on Indians. It will be noted that there has been considerable advance in bacon since those good old days.—lndianapolis News.
