| Webster City, June 21.-County Sur
veyor f. e. Fox has turned in to the
county auditor the plat and profile Of
| the Farley ditch. This ditch begins
en- the west side Of harrisburg and
runs in northeast and easterly di-
rection thru harrisburg and Williams
townships in Hamilton county; thru
a portion of Vernon township in
Wright county; thru n portion Of
Oakland township In Franklin county
and southeast thru Hardin county to
the Iowa river below Eldora. This
ditch Is known as the south fork of
the Iowa river.
Engineer Fox recommends devia-
ton from this natural waterway at
about the common corner OF the four
counties and by a short route directly
northeast to make an outlet into the
Iowa river in a distance of less than
two and one-half miles instead of con-
tinuing thru the natural waterway
to the river below Eldora, a distance
of over twenty-five miles. The fol-
lowing are a few statistics concerning
the proposed ditch:
Length of proposed ditch sixteen
and two-thirds miles.
Area drained, 1920 acres.
Average cut OF ditch, seven and one
half feet.
Capacity measured by a six foot
flow.
Average fall per mile, five feet.
Estimated cost $35 600
This ditch will drain the large
slough north and adjoining, the town
of harrisburg containing strnout ESQ
acres which in the past two years has
been a solid body of water and 1t will
also drain the famous duck grounds
about three miles north of Williams.
containing over 1000 acres. This
ditch traverses a territory very fiat on
either side for u distance Of one half
to one mile. 1t will make Immediate
ly tillable over 5000 acres which has
heretofore been breeding grounds for
muskrats.
When the ditch proposition was first
put under way there was much oppo-
sition and when the trouble came up
with the new land and the matter was
dropped by the board of supervisors
the opponents of the ditch thought
they had defeated the project. The
rain of the last two years brought
around some of the most stubborn
opponents OF the ditch and ma jority
OF the land owners along the proposed
ditch are in favor of It, today and
there exists scarcely any opposition at

The present association, which was

organization of similar character that
had been in existence for twenty years,
so that Iowa music teachers have had
an organization for nearly thirty years
and have participated in the national
conventions and other musical events

The Iowa association is one of the.
largest in membership in the union,
and Iowa has produced more musicians
and singers OF note than any other
state. This is especially true of Du-
buque, which has the best church
choirs of any city its size in the mid

a majority of the smaller towns OF the
state have produced singers who have

SHORTENING POLITICAL
CAMPAIGNS

Thet endency Of modern times in
this country, the Philadelphia Record
thinks, has been toward shorter politi-
cal campaigns, and it notes with salts
faction that though less than three
months are left for the present one.
there have been no great meetings or
parades or general disturbance. In
1889 the Wings made the Harrison
hard cider and coOnskin campaign last
for a year. Since then the duration Of
presidential contests has grown less
| and less. AS to the practical side, the
Record thinks:
LAS a rule. the party In power, with
its control of government Offices and
spoils, is much better organized for
campaign work than the opposition. In
Pennsylvania, for example. the ma
chine which has submerged the repub-
lican party is permanently organized
all the year round. its thoroughly dis
.ciplined forces can be set in motion on
the shortest notice, SO that it matters
little whether the campaign actually
begins in May or October. But the best
organized party machine that human
ingenuity has created can not accom-.
plish much when not moved by the
popular breath, whether the campaign
begin early or late. Last year the
formidable machine organization In
Pennsylvania mustered at the ballot
box $4,000 votes less than the repub-
lican party strength in the state. The
boasted machine would have been in a
pitiable plight had it encountered a
vigorous opposition"
