GEORGE A. PRATT.
Obituary.

George Alexander Pratt was
born February 25th, 1888, at
Woodstock, Vermont, of sturdy
New England stock. When a
boy of Is he lost his father, and
a year later, his mother, after
which time he was practically
thrown upon his own resources.
His father had died with ex-
IRENE suddenness. An hour af-
ter the event, search was made
TO. three small boys. They were
found in the woodhouse indus
triously saving wood. George,
the eldest, had set them the ex-
ample of going to work, and
compelling them to follow it,
with the remark, We must sup
port our mother now, and we
had better begin right away"
1t was a characteristic incident.
The man, like the boy, always
did the duty nearest to hand,
whether it was faithfully and
accurately running the business
of q railroad station or respon-
ding to his country call for vol
unteers.
He first learned the black
smiths trade in his native town
and then came west where he
engaged as hotel clerk at St.
Louis and other cities, finally
starting in railroad work as a
brakeman on the old Milwaukee,
and Mississippi out Of GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin. He remained as
trainman but a short time when
the new line of the C. & N. W.
Ry., from Chicago to Evansville
was completed and he went to
work for the American Express
Co., as messenger between Chi
cago and GAINESVILLE.
In 1861, at the breaking out
of the civil war, he entered the
service in the First Illinois Light
Artillery and served in many
battle until, ON account of her
MIA and siclness,..he was sent to
the st. Louis hospital to die. By
the merest chance, a farmer
friend, an influentirl st. Louis
man, obtained his immediateex-
animation by the chief surgeon,

channel at preseat is fifty.one
miles, while the proposed ditch
is 6.62 long. The surface fall
is about fourteen feet. The
grade line on bottom of Soldier
ditch OF new channel is LBS of
a foot to the mile, or so Of a
foot more than the Monona-
Harrison ditch has, and Expert
Elliott called the fall sufficient
there.
This system of bitches will
drain $4,000 acres of land and
the estimated costs are $685.
54l.76, or about $3.50 per acre
for land benefited, hardly q
years rental. There should be no
hesitancy in adopting this plan.
If Mr.. Wattles had included q
new channel for the Soldier,
from the bend in Section 2S-79
As to Missouri river, his plan
would be nearly perfect for re-
c.amation of the lands, not a
part of them, but every acre.
Inside of five years after this
work is completed the ploduc-
tive value of these lands will lie
doubled. Furthermore we te-
.lieve that this will be found all
sufficient; that tiling will not be
needed, as the under drainage
is SO exceedingly good, the soil
Of these bottoms being a com
posite one,
The gumbo or stick nature
will disappear after a few years
drainage and it's consequent
aeration Of subsoil. Now if
good counsel prevails and liti-
cation is avoided, so that much,
if not all of this work can be
done in 1904, the bumper crops
that will be raised even in the
years of floods, will gladden. the
hearts and fill the granaries,
the cribs and the pocket books
of the jewellers on the Missouri
bottom.
Our readefss -ii'av think we
re dev'1....g too much space to
drainage, but in our opinion, it
IS the most importont local mat
ter we have to discuss at pre-
sent. A reclamation of the
swamp lands and good we'll
drained dirt roads will place
Harrison county in the front
rank in the state. observer.

j. S. Wattles filed his report,
plat and profile of the drainage
district in the vicinity Of the
Soldier, Mondamin, and Round
and Dry lakes.
He commences a ditch or a
diversion Of the Soldier at a
point eighty rods Me- of Sec
ton 4-80-44, thence in a south
westerly direction to the up
per end Of Elm lake, about one
hundred rods cast Of the center
of Sectiona7 S0-44, thence west
all north OF the half section
T, Iine and two hundred feet Ct
right of way to bank of Dry
lake between lots 2 and 3 of
Section l1-SO-45, thence south
westerly along center line of
Dry lake to intersection of the
north line of Section 22-8O-45
/ and the Missouri river. Then
he recommends a ditch cast of
the Soldier, commencing at a
point eighty rods east of the
northwest corner of Section g.
so-45, thence south on line with
right of way fifty feet wide TO
a point in Nelson ditch about
eighty rods south and forty
rods east of northwest corner
of Section 4-7a44. He also re-
commcnds an extension north
eastwardly to intersect the
most eastern channel Of Steer
creek. The Soldier has trans
ferred itself to the lower part
of Nelson ditch.
On the west side of the Sol
der he recommends a ditch
starting eighty rods north of
the center of Section 8-8O-44,
thence south on the half Sec
ton line with right of way fifty
feet wide to q point near the
quarter section corner between
Section 6 and 8-79-44 in the

was his wife Ind that he was
in search of work and desired
to engage room and board for
a week. Being financially en-
barrassed he volunteered to put
up a large trunk of goods for
security. The alleged husband
remained until Monday morn
ing when he said he would go
to Omaha to find a job and re-
turn Saturday night.
Monday evening two men ar
rived at the hotel and made in
ualry for the woman, stating
that she was the wife of the
younger and had eloped from
Colorado with a cowboy. The
elder of the two said he was
the woman's uncle and that
they had spent over $500 in
search Of her. She was called
to the hotel office and the meet
ing between the two is said to
have been very affectionate.
The husband willingly for
gave his unfaithful spouse but
was not so willing to pay the
board bill for his wife and her
cowboy lover. The landlord.
however, firmly refused to give
up the trGnk until the bill was
settled, and after considerable
parleying the uncle settled the
bill and the party started on
their return trip to the west,

returns from Omaha, will find
that his bird has flown.
