DEATH OF MRS. F.. s.

After an illness of several weeks, Mrs. Eliza $. Foote de- parted this life at eleven o'clock Tuesday night. The cause of her untimely death was heart trouble.

When quite young she was married to Mr.. Guy Foote. Shortly after their marriage they moved to New Mexico and then to Arizona. She had three daughters, two who survive her, Mrs. Ford, of Clifton, and Mrs. Chas. Tester man, of Holbrook, and Mrs. A. E. Maupin, who died some years ago. Mir. Foote also died about fourteen years ago.
 For many years she had been a resident of Holbrook and when anyone was in need she was al- ways found on hand. Her loss will be mourned by those who knew her and that means every resident of this section of the country.
 The funeral was held at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon and the remains were laid in their final resting place in the cemetery here. Mir. Joseph Fish had charge of the ceremonies.

Town OF Bristol Levies Taxes to Open
Up Old Ditch to the Illinois
State Line.
FARMERS KICK ON THE EXPENSE
Work Will BE Done Next Year and the Cost
Will Reach Five Thousand Dollars
To Be sixteen Feet Wide.

The town of Bristol is being torn
into factions on account of the tax
levy that has been made by the town
board for the widening and deepening
of the Dutch Gap canal, one of the
historic waterways of the county The
canal was built some twenty years ago
to reclaim number of farms in the
town OF Bristol and at the time Of its
building it caused big fight in the
town.
AT that time the canal was laid out
six feet wide and two feet deep. The
passing of years has not dealt kindly
with the canal and it is rapidly being
filled up and along the course sluice
land is becoming all too prevalent.
The plan that is now being urged is
the dredging of the canal from the
Wilmot road to the state line, a dis
lance of three and half miles. The
ditch, for it can hardly be digni6ed
with the name of canal, is to be made
sixteen feet in width and sufficiently
deep to carry off all the surplus water.
The cost of the improvement is fixed
at five thousand dollars, but many of
the farmers who are opposing the work
claim that before the work is completed
it will cost nearer ten thousand dollars.
The work will not be paid for out of
the general fund of the town but the
farmers who are directly interested in
the dredging of the canal will be
forced to pay for it.
In order to get the work started the
town Board has made an appropria-
tion of $1,000 and more money will be
appropriated next year. It is claimed
that the burden of taxation for the
work contemplated will fall heavily on
one or two farmers in the town and
these men are making a strong fight
against the work being started. It is
possible that they will begin a fight
by injunction to make the town Board
show the benefits that will come to
them by the large expenditure. Not
withstanding the objections there is a
strong proba bility that the canal will
be widened and it will be great bene-
fit to many farmers. Hundreds if not
thousands of acres of land which are
now one continual s1uice will be re-
claimed for cultivation and the drain
established will be of benefit to farms
for miles on either side of the ditch.
Some of the farmers are making an
effort to have the cost of the improve
ments planned placed on the whole
county out there is no doubt but that
this would bring up fight which
would delay the work for years if not
make final end to all the plans. The
work must be done by the town of
Bristol and the start in appropriating
so large sum seems to indicate that
the town is ready to take care of it.
