BEGIN ANEW ON TIE bitches
3uEerv;ssrs Name Commissioner
and EnGineer for DraiRaoe
Systems.

Nonpareil:
Before adjourning yesterday
to meet again on June 81, the
county supervisors board took
the first steps toward the con-
struction of two drainage
bitches under the law passed
by the last legislature. r. B.
Wilson of Carson was named
as commissioner for Pottawat-
tamie county in the joint pre-
ceedings with Harrison county
for the opening of the big
causeWay to run through both
counties. County Surveyor
Thomas Tostevin was appointed
as engineer for the Pigeon
creek ditch, whose projected
route lies entirely within this
county.
Mr.. Wilson was chosen last
year to represent Pottawattdmie
county in the ditch negotiations
which have since been declared
invalid, owing to the unconsti-
nationality of the old law. In
conjunction with w. II. Fensler
of Missouri Valley, who is the
commissioner for Harrison
county, he will name an engin-
eer to survey the ditch route.
The three together will report
to the supervisors boards OF
the two counties. The Pigeon
creek survey will be entirely in
the hands of Engineer Tostevin.
1t is expected that the sur
veys will not be much changed
from the previous ones, but the
Pigeon creek petition embraces
more territory than formerly
and this will require additional
work. The Observation-Disclosures
rison county ditch includes the
Willow Creek and the Allen
creek channels and the Boyer
cutoff ditch, into which they
empty. The territory bene-
fitted in this county by the big
bitches lies in Rockford and
Crescent townships. The Pigeon
creek ditch is designed for the
drainage of lowlands in Hazel
Dell, Crescent and Garner
townships.
The flow of water in each in
stance will be facilitated by
Strengthening the creeks, which
will make a shorter distance
for the same fall. One other
drainage way, the Fensler
ditch in Rockford township, is
still to be acted on by the
board. 1t is a short one, only
about two miles in length, and
was nearly finished when work
was stopped on it by the adj
verse supreme court decision.
Thepetition for the Harrison
Pottawattamie county ditch
has a long list of signers. The
principals on the $1,000 bond
are r. w. Myers and j. G. Schulz
meister. The petitioners for
the Pigeon creek ditch are
James L. Paxton of South Oma-
ha, Earnest E. Hart of Council
Bluffs and j. B. Young of Har-
rison county.

Miss Wainwright is the. recognized

displays the most delightful humor In
comedy scenes and it is this fact, com
bined with emotional strength, which
fits her so supremely for this charac-
ter. The diversity of characters IL

meeting yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Mary Sutton, west of
the city. The program cinsisted
of three excellent papers, read by
Mrs. w. K. Bradbury, Mrs. Oliver

s'The Republic of Cuba,' for the
most. part narrating the resources of
the island and especially giving a
full account of the government of the
little republic. Mrs. White had
fine paper on "Civic Improvement in
Havana under Military Rule in
which she spoke Of the much needed
improvements to the city that were
brought about by General Wood, and
of the difference between the Havana
of few years ago and of the pres
ent time. Both of these subjects were
handled In a most entertaining and
interesting manner. The Review of
Wagner's "Simple Life by Mrs.
Dalbey, was especially fine. Follow
ing the program short articles on cur
rent events were read by members,
after which there was a general dis
cussion, in which all participated.
The business of the day was trans
acted and, at adjournment, it was de-
cided to meet with Mrs. w. s. Hiser,
