had paid in.
1t will be remembered that few per-
sons subscribed literally to the stock
just in time to secure the appropriation
of swamp lands made by the state. This
was done in the expectation that others
who were interested in having the work
go on would come forward and subscribe
to aid in completing the work. This
has not been done although there are
parties as much interested Jas any of
those who subscribed so literally, and
more than the most of them. The sub
scribers to the stock, did not feel inclin-
ed to double up on their stock, which
would have been necessary in order to
have completed the improvement.
The TRIBUNE has taken deep interest
in this matter, believing it to be one of
the most important projects for the
future benefit of this section
that could be carried out, OPEN
ing up, as it would, a vast territory
of some of the best farming
lands In the state, and which without it
are of but little comparative value, as
there is no way by which access can be
had to the lands without this improve
ment is made. 1t is to be hoped that the
project may again be revived and the
work yet be done at an early day.
