The Ditch Commission.
w. H. Fensler, ditch commi


Pottawattanie county, and En-
glneer Tostevin have gone over
a large part of the land in this
drainage district. They have
gone over the Boyer Valley in
! Pottawattamie county, the Boy
er Valley in st. John township,
the Allen Greek ditch in Taylor
and Raglan township, and into
Clay township. south into the
Fish Lake district, into Cincin-
nata township and down into
the west side of Rockford town
ship. They have examined the
land carefully over this entire
section and found that every
thing is in shape for the build
ing of the bitches. Engineer
Tostevin is in Logan today look
ing up data for the continual
ton of the work by the com
mittee. One good thing the
commissioners have found and
that is that they have not dis
covered a single man in all their
trip this week that is opposed
to the building of the bitches.
Every one whom they have
talked to has said to go ahead
with the bitches and they are
ready to pay the taxes neces-
sary for their construction.
That is the kind of feeling that
will build the bitches. The COM
missioners have found the sem
t!ment everywhere unanimous
for the construction of the dit
ches. There is an immense
amount of work to be done by
the commissioners before they
can make their report, but the
Times feels safe in saying that
when the report is made it will
be satisfactory to the citizens
of the Missouri bottom.

a complete success in every
way. The weather was most

every sort were unloaded from
a hundred baskets. Cake with
out limit was also produced.

pies and good fresh bread and
butter met the hunger of

The Eleventh Annual Con-
vention Of the Council Bluffs
District Ep1orth League was
in session this year in our city
and has adjourned. The gen
eral opinion among the dele
gates is that this was one of
the very best conventions the
district has ever enjoyed. The
convention held here ten years
ago was a good one, SO the
delegates came this year ex-
pectlng a good time. They
were not disappointed. They
all go home praising Missouri
Valleys brand of hospitality.
The local chapter feels amply
repaid for the hard work they
have done for the success of
this meeting. They also wish
to express their thanks to the
i friends who helped entertain
and to the chorus choir, the
Treble Clef and to Mrs. Hills
for the very excellent music
provided. This was a special
feature that the delegates APP
preciated greatly.
Rev. w. j. Stratton of Coun-
Gil Bluffs presided at all SEES
sions and held the convention
in hand like a master. Nearly
every one on the program re-
sponded, which made it full
from start to finish. A deep
spiritual feeling seemed to take
possession of the meeting from
the very beginning, which cul-
minated in the closing conse-
Grafton service led by DR.. Crit
fifth. This body Of workers will
go out among the $500 other
Epworth Leaguers whom they
represent with lamps burning
brightly and a determination to
do for the Master.
The only feeling of disap-
pointment the local committee
has is that not so many of the
young people of our city were
reached by this grand meeting
as they had hoped, yet they
feel that much good has been
done. The next convention
will be held at Shenandoah.
The new cabinet is as follows:
President, U. G. johnson, Den
ison; Secretary, Elizabeth
Logue, Shenandoah; Treasurer,
Fred j. Martin, Hastings; jun
ior League Supt., Mrs. Kate
Creagor, Missouri Valley; Asst.
|Supts., Rose Plumb, Hastings,
and Ira H. Smith, Denison; LIST
V. Pres, F. P. Nugent, Council
Bluffs; End V. Pres, Frank
Travis, Hamburg, 3rd V. Pres,
Kittie Hostettler, Glenwood;
18th V. Pres, Peter Jacobs,

TEMPE
DIRECTORS ELECTED.
At a Meeting of the Canal Company
 Saturday Afternoon.

The annual meeting of the share holders of the Tempe Irrigating Canal company was held Saturday at the odd Fellows hall. The mee ing was called to order in the morning and the min utes of the previous meeting were read and other routine matters transacted. The meeting then adjourned until af- ternoon at 1 o'clock.
 The principal business of the day was the election of the directors. The ballot showed that Niles Petersen was elected in the place of J. w. Woolf and I. V. Stewart and Grant Jones were reelected.
 One thing that was particularly in- teresting and commendable to the shareholders was the fact that the ex- pcnse or the cost of water this year was only about half of what it was last year. In the Tempe canal the ex- pense came to Si4 per right as compar- ed with SSO last year. The difference is partially accounted for by the reason that there were improvements in the way of new gates, etc, at the head of the canal last season which were not required this year.
 As a right in the Tempe canal is supposed to be sufficient to irIigate half
 
 seen that the cost of irrigation on the south side is considerably less than 50 cents -er acre.
 On next Saturday the annual meet ing of the shareholders of the Tempe Pumping company will be held at the game place at which time the direc- tors of said company will be elected and such other business transacted as snaT come before the meeting.

WORTH A THOUGHT.
This Statement Will Interest Scores
 of Phoenix Readers.


 The facts given below are worth the perusal by all who are anxious about their physical condition or are similar- ly situated to this resident of Phoenix. It is a local occurrence and can be thoroughly investigated
 H. T. Diehl, miner, of 15s E. Alameda St, Tucson, Ariz., says: My expe- rience with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed for them. In the month of February, 1902, I first felt q slight pain across the small of my back. directly over the kid neys, probably caused by a cold set tied in these organs. It was not se- rious, yet it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble, and read ing one night in a Tucson paper about Doan's Kidney Pills, my daughter went to Martins drug store for a box. took them as directed and when I had completed the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. I was so sur prised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doan's Kidney Pills that I recommended them to a number of my acquaintances and even went so far as to mail a box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco, who had kidney trouble"
