paper presenting the subject matter In
detail and with logical arrangement,
and Father Myer, Prof. Mathes, Prof.
Cummings and Rev. Sibbet, debated
the proposition.
The question was ably handled by
these experienced reasoners. The
question Is one Of unusual interest aud
the discussion Of that evening i'm
pressed the public 10 such an extent
that the people are keeping the subject
alive.
The Regimental Band supplied
sweet music for the occasion. Miss
Marie Benton rendered a delightful
solo. She repeated the success of her
effort at the recent church entertain
ment In this city. This young lady
has fine contralto voice and she de.
serves .the encominms accorded her
Her part in the literary entertainment
was a pleasing feature.

east yesterday. He went as far ~ Bos.
ton and reports a successful business
trip. The affairs of his company are
in good condition ond there Is no room
for doubt Of the success Of the under.
taking. Mr.. Libby has done good
work in this enterprise and the con.
summation Is just reward for him.
The right OF way for the hig ditch

Importance to this company. If there
is any obstruction to prevent early and
complete success, 1t could come only
from the owners of land that will be
touched. The company asks the con.
ccssion Of the right Of way, which Ia an
equitable demand. The ditch will not
damage any Of the property on its
course, but will make the land more
valuable IN every instance by bringing
water within reach Of the riparian
owners. 1t ia to be hoped this last pos.
sihle hindrance to the progress Of the
work will not be checked by narrow
minded property holders along the line.
This enterprise, aud others that are
