AN IMMENSE DITCH.
VIII be Constructed In Order to Re
claim Thousands of Acres of Indiana
Marsh Lands.

Crown Point, Ind, Dec. 1o.-Pre-
liminary steps are under way in the
northwestern counties of Indiana,
including Laporte, Starke, Porter,
Lake and Jasper, to construct what
probably will be the largest artificial
waterway of its kind east of the Mis-
sissippi river. When completed it
will reclaim hundreds of thousands of
acres of Kankakce marsh lands now
regarded as worthless.
\ contract has been let for the
first IA miles in LaPortc and Starke
counties for 100000. The ditch will
be so feet wide and 16 feet deep. 1t
is the plan of the other counties to
continue the ditch to the Illinois
state line. a distance of go miles. The
cost will be about $1,000 900.
The project has been taken up by
tn. owners of large farms along the
Kankakee. The payment is to be
made by assessments on benefits de-
rived from the ditch.
