The life of an artist, If written Familiarity
and not sentimentally nor with that
pseudo Bohemianism that some people af-
feet when they try to describe an artistic
atmosphere-the life of an artist SO written
can be made peculiarly interesting. The
author of "Barbizon Days" has produced a
delightful volume of familiar description
and biography, leaving out the hackneyed
questions concerning the philosophy of art
and of art criticism. From among the ia
nous group of men of creative power who
between 1926 and 1850, lived in the one
street village of Barbizon, which lay be-
tween the forest of Fontainebleau and a
broad plain, he has selected Millet, Corot.
Rousseau and Barge, with their work. as
themes for his four essay-stories. Claude

under Amedee Servint the artists rollicked
and cut pranks like schoolboys.
Millet is of the most interesting of
painters. and the author. Mr.. Charles
Sprague Smith, gives adequate story of
his work. Millet loved everything that
was powerful and. as he said, would have
given all of Boucher for a single nude OF
Rubens." In his earlier career he painted
nude women almost entirely. Later he
transferred his interest from the primer

j. K. McGavren of Missouri
and r. B. Wilson of Car
son yesterday completed their
reports to the boards of super
visors of Pottawattamie and
Harrison counties upon the pro-
posed drainage bitches which
have occupied the attention of
both boards for several months
past.
The Harrison county board
took the initial steps in the pro-
ject last year and surveys of
the proposed bitches inl that
county were made by ]. Wattels
the county surveyor of Harri-
son county. Several months
ago County Surveyor Cook was
appointed commissioner to
make surveys of the propos-
ed extension of the bitches in
to and through Rockford town
ship in this county. His re-
port was before the Pottawat-
tamie board at it's january
Discussion of the
matter brought the board to
the conclusion, however, that
both they and the Harrison Co.
had proceeded in
the wrong manner, and that
joint action was needed. There
upon both boards of supervisors
met together and named Messrs
McGavren and Wilson as com
missioners. They looked over
the ground and adopted the
surveys made by Surveyors Cook
and Wattles, with slight
changes. They selected Thomas
Tostevin as their engineer.
The report completed yesterday
the result of their
work, and it will come before
the Harrison and Pottawattamie
boards of supervisors for furth-
er action at their April meeting
which begins April 6.

McGavren and Wilson contem-
plates the construction of

the report to run lao miles Of
lines and levels.
In Harrison county two
bitches are to be constructed.
One, called Willow creek ditch,
begins about five miles north of
Missouri Valley and follows a
course nearly due south, rum
ming directly through the town
of Missouri Valley and hence to
the south line of Harrison
county. The total length of
the Willow creek ditch in Hair
rison county is to be about nine
miles, and will vary from ten
feet to eighteen feet in width
on the bottom. The Allen
creek ditch begins about five
miles of the north line of Hair
rison courtyard following a gen
eral southerly direction, drain
ing low land which is now COW
cred by the flow from what is
known as Allen creek, a stream
which has no defined outlet.
This ditch will have a length of
about twelve miles in Harrison
county, and is to have the width
on the bottom of ten feet to
sixteen feet.
Both the Willow creek and
Allen creek bitches cross the
line into PottaWattamie county,
and there unite, the Allen creek
ditch being sixteen feet and
the Willow creek ditch eighteen
feet on the bottom to their
junction point. Thence the
ditch proceeds southwark until
it intersects the channel of the
Boyer. From this point it will
be sixty feet wide on the bot
tom in order to carry part of
the waters of that stream.
All the bitches are to have a
uniform slope of one and a half
to one their entire length.
The commissioners recommend
that the earth removed in dig
cling the bitches be used in con-
structing dikes along the sides
of the bitches and that culverts
be constructed through the
bikes to permit overflow from
the surrounding land to flow in
to the bitches; but flood gates
should be provided to prevent
water from the bitches from
overlooking on the adjacent
country in times of high water.
Incidentally the commission
ers state that the Boyer drains
about 900 square miles of ter
ritory, is forty to sixty feet in
width and from twelve to four
teen feet in depth.
Mr.. Tostevin, as commission
er under appointment by the
board of supervisors of this
county, has filed with the county
auditor his report of surveys,
with plats, etc., of what will be
known as the 'Fensler" ditch.
1t will start near the Harrison
county line in the northwestern
part of Rockford township and
will run nearly due south
through Pratt lake into the
Missouri river. Its length will
be 1920 feet, and it will drain
about half a township. Its es-
timated cost is about $4,000.
Mr.. Tostevin has nearly COM
pleted surveys for the Pigeon
creek ditch in Crescent town
ship. AS. now proposed it will
be about four and a half miles
in length, will involve the ex-
cavation of about 100000 cubic
feet of earth and will cost
about $35,O00.-C. B. Dept.
