Mississippi plans to curb floods and aid cotton trade
The River and Harbor bill faces post veto hopes for flood mitigation on the Mississippi. Officials note improved channeling could protect cotton regions and national interests, while noting political moves including Dallas attorney Kearby's independent congressional bid. Texas figures Captain Bigger and Marshal McKee advance in their roles as district attorney and marshal respectively, with Judge McCoriwick’s absence delaying duties. The Indian Territory rail right of way bill passes the House, pleasing Paris residents about future prospects.
