Street to be Raised to Level of River Levee. North' street, or the Seven Mile pike, is going to have a hurap in it.

People, who have had occasion to 'travel over that street or roadway now under improvement, in the past few days, have wondered what was Near the Two Mile bridge a pile of gravel over which the tracks if the Cincinnati Dayton Traction company have been carried has loomed before them as they approached the Two Mils bridge. it was a pile of gravel for. repair work or whether it was to be permanent affair remained an un- jmswered problem. Tie.ansK-er comes from Engineer 'tt H. Biffert, of the Miami Con- iervancy district.

That pile of gravel is going to stay there and the improvement of North itreet, or the Seven Mile pike is complete, it will be there as a part pf the improvement. It will not only be 1 a part of the improvement but it will also be a part of tin flood prevention work that is to protect Hamilton from the great Miami river when it attempts to go aver'its banks and create havoc. hump in North is necessary for a continuation of 'tho flood prevention work. The levee on the west side of the river has been completed, from North street to the high ground back several inndred feet. But between the Bids of the two levees, there passed fforth street, or the' Seven Mile tike, much lower than the tops of levees, leaving a big gap lErough which the waters of the Btftt Miami river or Two Mile creek could pass out over that section of the city with little or no hindrance.

so to make these con- tmuoiiE and to make the protection from waters complete, it has 'been found necessary to raise North street to a level at this point equal to the height of the levees. this is what is being done. The roadway is 'being built up just in such a manner that when it is complete the fill in the roadway will meet the river and creek levees and make a continuous protecting wall against the waters coming down the river. This hump may not prove thing of beauty, but it will mean'the protection of 1 Caany homes and much property, especially the plant of the Champion Paper company lying in that section of the city. "It is inconvenient to make this crossing, but necessary since the ground on the other side of the road is not high enough to protect the houses from either the river or the creek." C.

The rise was rapid being halted only slightly by the rain, and resuming its speed after the clouds cleared away.

Representatives of all of the principal hog registration associations in the country, farmers and breeders from all parts of Butler and adjoining counties with their families made up the crowd, of over one thousand which attended the dedication on the Harikinson memorial on the Hankinson farm near Blue Ball.

The -'monument is the first one ever dedicated to a hog. Mrs. Hannah Hankinson 88 years of age, widow of W. C. Haukinsony the first breeder of the Poland China bog, unveiled the beautiful mar- ale shaft which contains a bronze inscription with the names of the -irst breeders of the Poland China Just prior to the unveil- ag, Miss Mary Hankinson, granddaughter of the elder Hankinson read a beautiful dedication poem was followed by the dedication speech by Edward F.

Bosen- orans. The Hankinson memorial commemorates the origin of the Poland China strain which dates back as far as 1816 when Shakers in the vicinity of Blue Ball started to raise this type of swine. In the base the shaft was placed a replica of the pedigree, the original of which was destroyed shortly after the death of Carl Freigau, French artist of Dayton, who is said to have been responsible for the writing of the first pedigree. Bosencrans Heard. Ed F.

Eosencrans in his dedication address paid a beautiful tribute to the founders of the breed here, and praised'the breed of hogs as having been developed into the best in the United States. In part he said: "The Poland China hog is what is known in the Miami valley as the 'mortgage lifter' of Warren and Butler counties. Tho hog, known as the old Harkrader sow, was the first to be pedigreed and is the originator of the now famous breed. There is but one person now alive who has ever seen this hog and she is the aged Mrs. Harkrader, who is unable to be with us today." The speaker told of the history of the breed, its tracing to the Shakers and how it flourished for awhile and then was slowly passing out of existence when it was supplanted in the west where it immediately thrived.

"There was a man in this vicinity many years ago, now retired, who raised many bogs. His name was William Magie. For a long time the breed was known as the Magio breed but later the name changed to Poland China. We are meeting here in an unusual and unique celebration today in honor of those who have passed beyond but who, without thought of publicity or personal reward, worked all teir years to perfect, this breed of hogs which is now famous. The speaker stated that it was the hog who helped to win the Civil war and it was the hog that made the Kaiser take up the occupation of sawing wood.

"An army travels on its stomach and the sword Grant in the Civil war would have been useless had it not been for the pork and beans' that fed tha troops. ''For many years the fancy breeders as many hog raisers called themselves, local breeders in their attempts to produce the Poland China breed of hogs. They took to raising a smaller variety which they tried to name Poland China hogs. However, despite all handicap the breed has progressed until it is now the finest in the world." J. C.

Clawson, of Hamilton, was in, charge of the dedication exercises. He first introduced Thomas Hunter, one of the most prominent breeders in the country. Mr. Hunter paid eulogy to W. C.

Hankinson, the original breeder, and told the audience they were gathered to pay tribute to the finest breed of hogs in the world which were conceived and pedigreed, on that ver Pictures Taken. Movie cameras clicked and the band played as the venerable wife of the pioneer bog raiser of tho Miami valley drew back the white shroud which covered the monument revealing the bronze inscription which reads aa follows: "The first pedigree of a Poland China Hog was written on this farm in August, 1876, by W.
