streams meander in tortuous courses
sluggishly over the prairie and lose
themselves finally in big marshes.

Just as rivers are marked on maps of

bitches to lead the waters of these now
sodden and worthless lands into the
valley. The Lost River ditch will be
four miles long, and will drain $4,000
acres of swamps; the Badger ditch
will be eight and half miles long,
draining $500 acres; the New Solum
ditch will be four miles long draining
1000 acres; the Goodhope ditch, FIVE
miles in length, will also drain an
important area.
The total cost of these four bitches
is estimated at $26, 500, and they will
