An. auditing committee of three were elect ed to supervise the ezpending of the funds. They will immediately hire foreman with a crew of men and start the work at once. It is believed that the work can be completed in seven or eight weeks, as a great deal of the trail is now in fair condition, having been cut out by returning miners with win ter outfits and roadhouse men.

LOGAN CRAWFORD
ON MllhLsS STkED
Plaintiff In Ditcl, Injunction Case
Is Telling His Views cf
Drainage

OAtSsA ASAs
Though the Logan Crawford
ditch injunction case continued
to occupy the attention of the
district court all of yesterday
the proceedings lacked the pro-
missed fireworks. The only in
teresting event of the day was
the introduction of the patriar-
chal plaintiff himself on the
witness stand. Mr.. Crawford
did not commence to give his
evidence, however, until a few
minutes before the adjournment
and the principal part of his
story will be told this morning.
Attorney Wadsworth last
evening stated that he expects
t. complete the submission of
his evidence by noon today. 1t
is likely that the county will re-
quire at least the rest of the
day for it's witnesses, and the
arguments may not be compl6t-
ed tomorrow.
On taking the witness stand
yesterday Logan Crawford
stated that he would be 80
years old in a few months, and
that he had settled in Harrison
county in 1854, residing there
ever since, save the time of his
service in the union army dur
ing the civil war. Mr.. Craw-
ford began his career as a
school teacher, but after a few
years his health failed, and he
took up railroad surveying in
| Wisconsin. He first started out
as flagman for a surveying
party on the line from Fon Gu
Lac to Waterfowl, one of the
first railroads in the state of
Wisconsin. He was soon given
a transit and afterwards en-
gagged in surveying the North
western line from Chicago to
GAINESVILLE, Wis. Since his resi-
dence in Harrison County, Mr..
Crawford stated he had sew
eral times acted as county sur
veyor, but admitted that he had
not done much surveying for
fifteen years.
With this experience as a
surveyor and engineer, Mr..
Crawford undertook to give eX-
pert testimony concerning the
proposed Allen and Willow
creek bitches which he is vigo-
rously oposing as impracticable
and extravagant. At the adj
journment of the court last eve
ming Mr.. Crawford was giving
a description of the topography
of the western part of Harrison
county through which the
drainage bitches are to run.
He claimed to have a complete
knowledge of the territory af-
fected by the bitches in Harri-
son county, but did not profess
to know much about the condi-
ton in this county.

Anyone travelling in the Boy
er valley can note, one at least,
of the results of the two wet
seasons. He can see land that
two years ago was in a crop and
had a good one too, now over
grown with willows and young
cottonwoods as high or higher
than a mans head. These
lands, if drained, will produce
a crop every year of the gross
value Of from fifteen to twenty
dollars per acre, but if left UNI
drained, it will be at least ten
years ere the timber will he
worth that much. The willow
and cottonwood growth spoil
these lands for hay and will
greatly diminish it's value for
pasture. Observer.
Some very fierce kicking is
being done by the patrons of
the rural telephone lines and
also by the people who try to
use them once in a while.
When line is first instituted
it is quite a novelty and people
all along the line keep their
ears to the receiver most of the
time. 1t is said that some of
the women even neglect their
homework and let the bread
burn in the oven, the potatoes
boil dry and the meat burn to a
crisp rather than leave the te-
lephone when there is the least
chance to hear what somebody
else is saying over the line. Te-
lephone men say thatsuch lines
never work satisfactorily until
the novelty has worn off or the
women get cramp in their
arms from holding the receiver
to their ears. Manson Democrat.

NEW ELEVATOR WILL
RISE FROM THE RUINS

kSuOE ftSVW Inc kUkNS
wreCka9e Now Being Removed IL
Make RoSm For the New
UDdixe Elevator.
Two Hundred and Ei9hty-twO
Thousand Bushels Of Grain
In the Elevator When Fire
Broke Cat.
Official orders were given this
morning by the management of
the Updille Grain Company to
the local representatives of that
concern, to put a large force of
men and teams to work today
removing the wreckage of the
elevator burned yesterday, the
work being hastened as much as
possible so as to allow work to
be commenced on a new elevat-
or at the earliest date possible.
According to the official fig.
ures of the freight department
of the Northwestern here,
there was two hundred and
eighty-two thousand bushels of
wheat, corn and oats stored in
the elevator when the fire broke
out. Today most of the grain
is piled in a smoldering heap
seventy feet high and half a
block long. So efficiently did
the firemen work in combating
the flames, seven huge bins on
the west side of the elevator
filled clear to the roof with
grain, were saved with their
thousands of bushels of grain
damaged but little, although
considerably water soaked. Men
and teams are busy this after
noon loading the least damaged
of the grain into freight cars
for shipment east. The compa-
ny proposes to winter about
1000 head of sheep here, and
the unmarketable grain will be
fed.
N. B. Updike, President of
the Company stated while in
the city yesterday afternoon
that it means a saving of about
$4,000 for his Company to re-
build their storage elevator
here. Their power house and
dry room are but slightly da-
mayed, while the foundation of
the old elevator can be used for
the new structure. The money
spent on the construction of
the foundation of the elevator
represented one third of the en-
tire amount the structure
cost and this foundation can be
used for the new building.
The new elevator will be built
much after the plan of the old
building on account of the
foundation but will have a far
greater storage capacity and
will be larger generally.
Material for the new struct-
ure has been ordered by tele-
graph and the Updike Comp
any has notified the rail road
company it will have over three
hundred cars of material on the
road to Missouri Valley within
a short time.
