results of that drainage will probably
be StupendOus. Already, with simply
the prospect of drainage, and while
the case was pending in court, the
price Of lands within the proposed
district has more than doubled. Lands
that formerly could not be sold for
two to four dollars per acre now
readily bring seven to ten dollars.
The puSherS Of this enterprise, all
of whom are practical business men,
who have studied their project in all
of it's bearings, confidently expect to
change this uninhabitable, worthless
useless, miaSmatic swamp, into the
finest, richest and most productive
farm and garden land. And there is
no reason why their plans should fail.
Other such tracts have, under drain
age, given such results. Under the

PASSING OF THE MARSH
DRAINAGE SUITS ARE NOW SETTLED
A Brief History OF the Dispute Necessity
OF Having Complete and Uniform
System of Drainage.

Coming by rail 10 Grand Rapids,
from Tie south or west, the Traveller
Is unfavorably impressed by the long
stretches OF low, fiat, uninhabited
lands on either side SO far as he can
see And well ne may be, for more
dreary eXpanSe of country Is hard to
mud. Not that the LAND is unproduc-
tive, for it is not. In most places it
l. covered with rank growth Of
small tamarack, spruce or wild marsh
grasses. But The country is fiat, wet
and uninhdbitabe. By fiat, We do not
mean that it has no slope, for surveys
show That it has an abundant slope To
the south, for all drainage purposes,
if proper drains were there. But it
| has not enough slope for natural
! drainage.
The swamps of which we have
spoken are only small parts of vast
triangle of swamp land. nearly 400
square miles in area, extending from
Grand Rapids, westerly beyond City
Point and Southerly to Camp Douglas,
and lying in the counties OF Wood,
Clark, juneau and Monroe.
! The land is composed OF large marsh
area, interSpersed or dotted with
small higher tracts, (Often but rod
or two III surface, known aS Islands. ="
Formerly this vast tract was, in part,
covered with large spruce and tama-
rack timber, between the areas of
which spread great open marshes.
These marshes then grew wild grasses,
MOSES, "feather-leaf, +" "leather-leaf"
and cranberry vines. Then, during
all wet seasons, thousands OF ACRES OF
this low land was floating bog" that
h Ii
or thin OoZe Of mud. After the
advent Of the railroad this vast marsh
gradually changed. The railroad gave
good carriage for the cranberrieS grow
ing SO profusely upon the marshes.
And, once in market, those berries
brought high prices. The result was
that such OF this marsh, as was
thought suitable for cranberry raising,
was eagerly purchased from the state,
| by people who thought they saw for
| tunes in cranberries.
These cranberry men sought to
| Improve" their marshes; and to that
end dug elaborate systems Of shallow
bitches, and built many hundreds of
| miles of surface dams, so that they
might more easily control the waters
of their marshes. Following this
ditching came several dry seasons,
and as the combined result Of dry sea-
sons and cranberry drainage, most Of
the FLOATING bog" became compare
lively solid marsh, anchored to the
subsoil by the roots of the vegetation
growing upon it. Following this
came the excessively dry years Of 1893
and 1894, during which extensive
marsh fires swept over almost this
entire swamp district, destroying the
trees, brush, grasses and moss, and
burning down to the general surface
of the marsh all Of the dams formerly
built for cranberry purposes. With
this vast accumulation Of surface
vegetation burned away, and the
cranberry bitches still there, the sur
face waters falling upon the tract
passed away more quickly, and the
lands became still more solid though
not by any means hard land. They

Winnipeg. Manitoba, Nov 10.-The
Doukhobors were unloaded from the
cars today and another chapter in
their pilgrimage was begun. At an
early hour Inspector Pedley, Agent
Speers and an interpreter went
through the train and told the Rus,
SLAMS that they would be started for
home; that wagons would be provided
and that they might ride If they chose,
but II they did not they would be com.
PEELED to march on foot.
4 number OF policemen were lined
up and the Doukhobors followed their
leaders from the train. Everything
went smoothly for the first quarter Of
mile, when halt was made and
several OF the leaders were loaded In
the wagons much against their will :,
The procession started very slowly
and difficulty was experienced in keep
ing the marchers from turning back L.
They seemed to be in rebclbous
mood, and 1t is believed that much diff
flculty will be experienced before they
are landed upon their farms, They
had reached a point twelve miles

MUD DRUM AT EAGLE r1ILL ExPLODEs
WITH FATAL RESULTS.
GEO. EBENHoH HURLED TO ETERNTT,
ENGINE HOUSE AND BOILERS SUSTAIN
GREAT DAMAGE

People in the vicinity of the Eagle
mill were startled Thursday afternoon
by the loud report that came from that
direction and were alarmed to see the
cloud nf steam that rose and enyeloped
the mill like smoke from . fearful fire.
By some means the mud drums of the
boilers refused to work and without
warning Of any kind an explosion took
place that wrecked the entire boiler
house, blew the fire BOXES out from all
the boilers, fatally injured Geo. Eoenhob,
the fireman and blew his brother Frank
out of the door of the house. George
7Ebeuhoh has since died from his in
juries.. He was thrown backward, evil

ON the back of the head. The base of
his skull was fractured and he bleed con-
tinuously from the nose, ears and mouth.
He was taken to the hospital where he
was given. surgical aid by Drs.s Weiser
and Schoch but they said at the time
that there was no hope for his recover
and he died Friday evening. His brother
beyond being knocked out of wind was
comparatively unlnjured and assisted in
caring for the one who was hurt. III
The place was in discouraglag COR
ditloa after the steam cleared away sc
that it could be seen. The roof was
force up in the center and openings made
through it In various places, nearly The
entire portion of the back wall was blown
out the glass and frame work of all ths
windows was cleaned out, the brick work
beneath the four boilers was destroyed
and all the boilers moved out of true 81

a force of men soon collected about
the wreck and discovered the injured
man who was put on the hose cart and
sent to the hospital as quickly as pos
sible. .s
The boilers and buildings were in
sured against the results Of explosion
and the place was left as it was until
the adjusters could get to the city. They
arrived Friday and took photographs Of
the ruins inorder to permit the work of
repairing to 60 on.
Il will probably require two or three
weeks to get the boilers in place and the
building ready to begin work again,
meanwhile the mill will have to be shut
down. The misfortune comes at a time
of the year when It will be mostly felt,
|as the mill was crowded with orders and
the loss Of business will amount to more
than the damage to the property. The
only advantage that will accrue to the
mill will be- that the workmen on the
addition to the milling property will be
able to work with more freedom and
will be able to push the new building
with greater rapidlty. RI a4. sssss4
