Proposed Drainage Canal,

Starke County Republican: The proposition of diverting the testers of the Kankakeejthrough a canal into the Tippecanoe river is again 'receiving* the |of the government, oivil’jen* gineere, St&Lessrs. g Johnson “rand Hanna, werejhere Monday looking over county maps and looal engineers. It is quite likely that if the plan is pnt into execution the Kankikee will be tapped at the sooth end of English lake. The shortest line to the Tippecanoe river, a point in Franklin ownship, Pulaski county, is wenty miles in length, but it is irobable that the canal would be anstrnoted south and oonneoted with Monon oreek whioh die: charges its waters into the Tippecanoe six miles north of Montioello, White county. Between English lake and the mouth of Monon oreak the distance is about •thirty-five miles- As has been mentioned before in these columns, 'theobject of this oanal is twofold, to give the Kankakee valley Jbetter drainage and to. famish better water power on the Tippecanoe.

The Mitchell Powder A Great Invention.

Delphi Herald • Editcr Chsrles E. Newton, Of the Montioello Evening Journal, with George Palmer and James Mitchell, of that place, and Frank Bending, of Brookston, all members of the Tippecanoe powder Company, were in the city today for the purpose of testing and demonstrating the qualities of their invention as a blasting force. Several charges were exploded at the lime kilns north of the city and the result was most satisfactory. Many different tests have been made with the powder, but this was the first stone test. It has been demonstrated that this powder is more foroeful than any other ever manufactured, and besides it is absolutely smokeless. This is a great advantage in blasting, as the fumes from dynamite are very annoyingjto the men who are compelled to work about it. —■— Another great’ advantage is [the faot that it is not neoessary to have a dry hole. The Joharges'Jexploded here today were in holes nearly] full CHID J|Th"eJ government hasjfgiven thii powder the most severe tests, and when the company is ready to manii. facture it oa a large scale Uncle Sam will be one of their best customers. The oompany is arranging to build a faotory at Mont'cello, but they are waiting for the granting of some ad. ditional patents on the invention James C. Mitchell, of Reynolds, is the inventor of the powder.
