TO DRAIN
MUCH LAND
COUNTY OFFICIALS IN WESTERN
IOWA WILL ACT AT
ONCE.
BIG MASS MEETING HELD
Men Interested in The Plans for I'm.
proving Lands in Woodbury., Mono
ma, Harrison and Pottawattamie
Counties in Attendance.

Missouri Valley, April 20. = The SUI
pervisors, county attorneys, county
auditors, surveyors and interested
land owners of Woodbury., Monona,
Harrison and Pottawattamie counties,
on call of Supervisors Edgecomb and
Kelley of Harrison county met today
in Missouri Valley. 100 in number to
interpret the new drainage laws and
learn how to proceed with the several
drainage schemes that we're under way
in the Missouri valley when interrpupt-
ed by the supreme court last January.
Among those present whose advice
was sought We're: Senator Hogue, At
torney P. A. Sawyer. Attorney Kilpack
and County Supervisors Kelley of Har-
rison, Baker of Pottawattamie and
James of Monona.
Canvass New Laws.
The new laws were thoroughly can.
vassed and found to be most complete
in their application to all phases of the
drainage question.
A resolution was adopted asking
Governor Cummins to sign these bills
at his earliest convenience.
VIII Go Rhead.
After full and careful study of the
substitute for S. f. No. Is, it was de-
cided to proceed with the $60,000 con-
tracts already let in Harrison county,
and to proceed as rapidly as possible
with two other drainage schemes of
like magnitude under H. F. No. SO.
Will Push Work.
This will enable the boards of super.
yisors of the four counties represented
to begin and complete as rapidly as
possible the establishment Of eight
large drainage canals, relieving some
100000 acres, of the finest alluvial
lands from destructive overfows, and
adds hundreds of thousands to the
taxable value and millions to the pro.
ductive capacity of these lands, be.
sides indirectly providing passable
highways, relieving the country of mi
asma breeding swamps. This action is
the one thing needed to put this great
valley Of the Missouri on. the solid
rock of industrial activity and sure re
turns for the capital invested and the
labor of the husbandman. 1t marks
the beginning of a new era in this
country and insures a speedy return
to prosperity in the towns and the
country alike.
