Will 9nt Improve White River. la the annual report or Chief Engineer Wilson of the river and h»rber survey department the paragraph relating to White river reads as fellows: “The act at August 18.1884, made provbioa far a reeurvey of W hite river, and Capt. J. G. Warren and corps'of engineers submitted report thereon M.iy 13, 1896. The project presented proposes extension of Um three-foot d. pth now existing in the lover thirteen miles of the river to Blackbora station, forty-six miles above the month of the rivvr; improvement of the East fork so as to afford a depth limited to feet, and improvement of the West fork, to be effected by the use of locks and dams, three of which will be required to give a low-water depth of two feet to the falls. The estimated oast of the work mentioned Is $649,977. In regard to the locks and j dams proposed for the West fork the local j officer states that farther examination will j he required for their location, but by the location of one of them at or near Rocky < Ford ripple, forty-two and a half miles from the mouth of White river, certain of the regulation works for the East fork vould be rendered superfluous and the estimate diminished correspondingly, making the total estimated cost of the improvement $455,946. In addition to this, the caving of unstable banks would render necessary an annual expenditure for snagging and dredging of at least $6,000 or an expensive system of bank protection. Capt. Warren remarks that these tigures indicate that the cost of the improvement is far in mtoess.of what would be justified by the present demands of commerce, in view of which be submits that the improvement of White river should be suspended until the navigation of the Wabash has been so improved as to afferd an outlet for any traffic which may then be devek^wd on White river. This opinion ts concurred In by the division engineer. The n p rt was transmitted to Congress and printed in House document No. 47. Fifty-fourth Congress, second session. \St Appendix K E 12."

Arthur Items. Pine w>ftw «ai wheat sowing in tnil blast. Some are done sowing and some are jet breaking. Granville Coleman, one of our laboring men, has moved to Ayrshire to work in the eoal mine. Elder A. B. Dayton went to Hunting* burg on Saturday last to attend the annual co-operation meeting of the Christian church. Miss Ida Farmer Tbited Mrs. Ellen Beatty of near Arthur, Friday last. Jasper Burchfield, one of Pike county's school teachers, rode the Odd Fellows’ goat of Arthur last Saturday night. Miss Stella Pipes of Arthur, went to Evansville last Thursday to visit some of her friends. Charles Clifford, one of Pike eounty’s boys, has returned from Kansas, where he lias been for the past eight years. - Miss Ora Skinner received the ring given at the show at Arthur on last Monday uight, it being given to the prettiest girl at the show. The teacher and scholars are making preparations to observe Arbor day at Arthur school on next Wednesday. Arthur school has fourteen scholars iu the advanced grade. Mrs. Ilardy Beatty of Monroe township, visited her son, P. H. Beatty, of near Arthur, on Sunday last. We democrats of Arthur are still looking for McKinley’s promised prosperity. But it is a questiou whether we will see it very soon or not. The cause of free silver is not cold in the minds of the people near Arthur, but is talked of daily and is growing stronger every day, fixing to give the gold bugs a wann reception in the next county, state and. presidential election by rolling up a big vote for the great and noble cause of free silver ami equal rights to all, with special privileges to none. We ask the hearty good will and co-operation of all of our friends. A Library Free of Charge. Representatives of the International Library association of New York are iu the city. Thev have a very commendable plan to present to our citizens which should be taken advantage of at once. By the payment of a small rental fee per year, at the expiration of three years, all books in the library tweome the property of members remaining paid up for that time. This association has placed libraries at Knightstown, El wood, Tipton, Columbus and Washington, Indiana, so far in this state. They go to Bedford, Indiana, fiom here, These gentlemen will make a thorough canvass of the town and should tie accorded a courteous hearing. At towns where libraries have been placed eminent satisfaction has Uen given. Every j»erson in this city should be able to join this circulating library, at the paltry charge of 12$ cents per month. Persons desiring further information ou this matter will find the association'® representative at the Read House. 25-1 Noxid Items. Wheat sowing is about passed. Coru gathering is now in order. “Pike County Bill” is digging a fine well. Our town is now swarming with school boys and girls. The truant law seems to be working fine. The partition separting the main school building from the eloak room had to be toru out to make room for more seats. There is to be a wedding in our midst next week. Who? Who? We have plenty of confidence under the McKinley administration, but tunuey is a scarce article judging from the number of borrowers.

Bergen & Oliphant. o The following special from Ripley, Qhio. to the Cincinnati Times-Star shows that the people of that section are interested in the Black Diamond railroad system: At a meeting held here last night at the offices of the Black Diamond railway, a committee of young men was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the purpose of locating the car shops at this plaice. Fifteen thousand dollars is the amount asked. There is now not the shadow of a doubt but that this branch of the Black Diamond system, from Columbus to Ripley, will be speedily built. Col. B >oue and staff have raised sufficient money to complete the survey, which is being pushed as rapidly me possible. __ The following special from Indianapolis appeared in the Evansville Courier Wednesday : Colonel George G.
