Lake Lillian Ditch.

There has been so many con-
f1icting statements made of late
regarding the Lake Lillian ditch
that it may be of public interest
to know just how matters stand
at present. There has been no
work done to speak Of except on
the stretch from the Meeker Co.
Inc to Lake Lillian. a distance Of
I miles and 900 feet. The ditch
ing foi' this stretch w;!s let some
time ago and much of the work
has bcen done. But it seems
that the surveyors profile was
net in when tho sale took place,
ard hence the ditching rs done
proved unsatisfactory. At any
rate some trouble grew between
the Co. Commissioners and the
County Surveyor that resulted
IN the Commissioners procuring
the services of Prof. Fink, of
New London, who is ROW at work
doing the work over again.
There is. rs wls found by both
engineers. q fall Of over eight feet
in the stretch. It is in the utili-
zation of this fall where the work
will Lc resumed in Il different
way from which it Was started.
1t Was first intended that on the
two first miles nearest the Meek
er Go. line the ditch should be
constructed with a fall of .03 of
an inch fall on every 100 feet. and
On the remaining distance .02 of
an inch. It seems that on the
two miles mentioned above the
banks are high and there is no
great danger OF an overflow, and
icr that reason it has now been
proposed to leave this distance
Oh the level and use all the fall
higher up where the banks are
low and the ground marshy. It
is also the intention to widen the
bottom Of the upper part Of the
ditch to fifteen feet. This will
keep the waters of Dog Lake and
tributary marshes at low water
mark. It is certain that not
spade-ful of earth will llberemoved
from any of the upper sections,
Of the ditch before this lower
section is nearly completed. It
is q matter Of doubt whether the

B. F. Miller WAS chosen as man

Morris nine is flushed with vic
tory this season and it remains
for our boys to reduce their

Morris will probably occur at
Benson. but no date has been fix

able move of our athletes, and
the sport loving people will look

pleasure. as they will serve to re-

The Bicycle Crank:

Special meeting of the Cycle Club
will be held Friday evening, Aug. 9Th.
The roads were never in better condi-
tion for cycling than they are at present.
Eight or ten of our boys are going to

Wednesday, Aug. 18th, to-day. There
will be 3 races-a 200 yards slow race,

ces Will start promptly at 6 p. m. Ad-
mission, 10 cents. Everybody cordially
invited.
The century run. which was to have
been held last Sunday, was postponed to
Sunday, August II. 1t looks as if at
least s club members will participate. 1t
will be an interesting trip.
Do not miss the races tonight. They
will be worth while going miles to see.
Messrs. Gieseke and Raabe wheeled to
Swan Lake Sunday.
No doubt there will he some good
track records established at the races to-
day, and nobody can afford to miss see

Only local club members will race to :
day and the events will be interesting ng
and hotly contested for.

included Buncombe County, apologized
for the emptiness of his remarks by stat

has come down through the years as a

Hayne. Lncoln's .'with malice toward
none and charity toward all' was first
heard in the halls of Congress when his
second inaugural address was read to the
assembled Rep1 esentatives. In later years
Senator Ingalls, contributed number of
epigrammat1c sentences. the best known
of which, perhaps was uttered in his
wordy duel with Senator Brown, of Geor-
gia. The latter had habit of rubbing
his hands together and Ingalls,, with bit
ter emphasis, described him as :.washing
his hands with invisible soap in imper-
ceptible water.' Another remark by
Ingalls, was much quoted at the time.
He was discussing the oleomargarine bill
and said, regarding certain dairy prod
ucts, that he stood sin awe at their
strength and reverence at their antiQui-

Duluth speech occurs that phrase, '*the
