! OF ditch between sec. Il and IS
and IA and rs.
Observations made curing
high water show the speed of
West Fork to be 6-ths of u foot
aer second. The West Fork at
that point has a cross section of
1900 square feet making carry
ing capacity of West Fork at
high water of 720cubic feet per
second. The main line of Mo-
nona-H Harrison ditch taps West
Fork and will have an average
depth of 10 feet, with cross sec
ton of $50 square feet and We
locity at flood height of of 3
feet per second, and carrying
capacity of 1850 cubic feet per
second, making carrying capac-
ity of main ditch more than
twice the volume of West Fork
at flood height.
The estimated cost of pro-
posed Improvements are about
S250,0OO and $4,000 acres of
land now too wet for cultivation
are expected to be drained and
made good corn land. Great in
terest is felt in the proposed
work on Missouri bottoms which
is generally regarded as the
most important improvement
ever undertaken in the two
counties. There is some objec-
ton made to the construction
of the ditch, but not much
doubt of it's ultimate construc-
ton.

A Voice from New York.

Mf. Black, OF New YORK, SalQ
in presenting the name of Par
ker as the Democratic candid
ate for President:
"The nolth and the south,
each wearing scars that tell of
war almost forgiven and for
gotten, feel the fear again chat
a problem, which only time can
settle write, will be forced upon
them wrong. Behind these
fears and doubts and startled
dreams and vague misgivings
is many a hidden cause. But
over them is one at least reveal
ed. For Lincoln said in the sad
ness of his soul, with malice
toward none, with charity for
all, with faith in the right as
God gives us the wisdom to see
it, and Roosevelt said, in the
glory Of his self-contemplation:
Tread softly and carry a big
stick And between these, the
beginning and the end of repuk
lican growth, in time and tenn
per, is all their wild discerning
flight. With all they know and
feel of the country's question of
their course the republican par
ty yet claims every fruit of soil
and sun, of brain and soul. They
say that by a wise dispensation
of natures's laws they brought
abundant harveet from the soil.
They say that by careful direc-
ton of scientific search they adj
died. untold volumns to the store
of common knowledge. They
say that invention, under their
their controle, has lifted loads
from mankind. They say that
sleep was broken by the stimu-
lus of republican virtue and
pointed to tbs churches all over
the land. They say that educa-
ton was unpopular until they
took it up and that now almost
everyone is willing to be educa-
ted. They say that while pop
ulation was increasing some,
there was never any steady adj
vancing general increass until
the republican party came into
power.
When attention is called to
the economic industrial and adj
ministrative vices, they say af-
ter all their are some things
which the all-wise providence
insists upon doing without Civ
ing any particular reason for it.
So on the whole we may con-
clude that whatever the good
Lord does in administering this
good universe that turns out to
be good they credit to themsel-
YES, and whatever the republic
cans do in administering the
government that turns out bad
they charge it to the Lord"

MOnSnl-Harrtscn Commissioner S
File R1poit.
Onawa, Iowa, July ID The
commissioners on the big Mo-
nona-Harrison ditch and Engin-
eer r. S. Fessenden filed their
report here today in the office
of the county auditor. The re-
port for Harrison county was
also filed yesterday at Logan.
The report is a very long one
and covers about thirty-five
pages of typewriter matter
concluding as follows: "1n our
opinion the proposed improve
ments as described in report,
plat and profile should be loca-
ted and recommend that same
be established. And the same
when established and construc-
ted will conduce u the public
health, convenience and well
fare and will be for public bene-
fit and utility and is signed
G. H. Elliott, commissioner for
Monona county; A. M. Ralph,
commissioners for Harrison coun
ty, and r. S. Fessenden, engin-
eer on the proposed work.
The joint meeting of the two
counties will be held at Onawa
early in September. The work
of serving notices on the land
owners will be commenced inn
mediately.
The engineer andcommission-
ers report that 'the land east
of the Little Sioux river is low
er than the river banks, and
consequently the waters that
flow over the banks has no di-
rect means Of escape. That the
land lying between the Little
Sioux and West Fork rivers is
lower than the banks of the
rivers and receives waters of
both rivers. We find that the
land lying west of the Little
Sioux and West Fork rivers lies
lin two basins, one on the east
side of the district and one on
the west side. West of the Lit
tie Sioux river waters enter the
east basins from the north end,
flows south east into Quacken-
bush slough in section 17-83-45.
South of the slough the basin
is intersected by a ridge which
holds water until a sufficient
amount collects to pass over or
same is drained by the DEVILS
ditch, which drains the land
only when the land in Sioux
River is tow. From this point
water passes into Lower Oliver
lake and out Of the lower end
when sufficient water has col
lected to do so. The water then
flows down the south line of
sections 10 and 20, township 80,
range ID, where the basin is
again intersected by a ridge
which holds the water and then
passes down into Harrison coun-
ty thence into the Missouri
river, through several sources,
which only drain when the Lit
tie Sioux is low.
''The west basin is drained by
the Persons ditch, which empt-
les into a slough at the Monona-
Harrison line, but this slough
has no outlet.
''In taking up the proposition
we consider a measure necessa-
ry that will relieve the Little
Sioux river of enough water to
keep it within its banks and
make drainage for the lower
lands"

Whether or not the telephone

Whether or not the telephone
is superior to the telegraph in

four years, is on the point of
installing the telephone system
in all it's offices between Coun-

this it will be necessary to int

citizens i'm the work. have
wished the boys of Dunlap could
be educated at public expense
for some useful occupation
which will make them more
useful members of the commun-
ity. Too many boys are dumped
into the street waiting for some
thing to turn up, and are not
fitted for anything in parsicu-
lar; they have no particular
aim IN life and simply drift in
the path of least resistance,
taking that Which comes to
then, but few of them hustling
after any particular kind Of re-
munerative work. More of
these boys do not go to school,
or go for short periods, because
there is no incentive to keep
them IN school.
Now if an incentive can be
furnished and a usefal trade is
taught them, they will remain
in school longer and be worth
something to their town when
they do leave. The same can be
said of the girls~to a less extent
for altho' they do not become
.loafers as do many of the boys
yet their lack of refinement

Joy mems and putting into life

Doyou think itwould beprac-
ticable for me to try tointerest
the community in the work !!
The cost of installing the work
need not be large and private

that when the public see the

people must be educated up to

MOODY WON OUT IN
THE RICHLAND FIGHT

g. = #
Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. THE jury
in the case Of the state vs.. Sheriff
Moody was out about thirty minutes
and brought in verdict for the de-
fendant. Action was brought to oust
the sheriff from office for alleged mis-
conduct consisting, first, of collecting
Illegal and exorbitant fees as sheriff
and, second, for protecting blindpig-
gers and conducting blind pig hiln-
self
Before the last adjournment the
court ruled that nothing in the COM
plaint relating to acts committed DUR
ing the sheriffs first term Of office or
during 1901 and 1902 could properly
enter the case. The court held that an
officer cannot be removed from Office
for an act committed during previous
term. In the last trial the court ex-
cluded all evidence relating to exorbit-
ant fees collected by the sheriff except
in cases where the fee IS fixed by law.
This materially weakened the states
case ais it claims it has evidence that
the sheriff collected several hundred
dollars in illegal fees for work done
for which the law provides no fee.

pciNer, Col, Aug I.-Attorneys H.
N. Hawkins and John III. Murphy,
counsel for the Western Federation of
Miners, are dcvising ways and means
to enable the deported Cripple Greek
miners to return to their homes. Pa
pers are being drawn and application
will be made to some court, possibly
the federal court, for an injunction
restraining the Citizens Alliance and
Mine Owners from interfering with any
deported miners who return to the
Cripple Creek district.
The Western Federation officials are
also making arrangements to reopen
the union stores in Cripple Creek and
Victor that were raided and looted by

Teller County has advised against the
reopening of the stores on the return
of the deportees, fearing that such ac-
