Wholesale Ditchin9 Enterprise.

81. Anderson LObnttz OF East Lake
Lillian was in the city Monday, and
incidentally told the editor about the
extensive ditching operations now in
progress in bis township. Rather
than 60 through the formality Of pc
titioning for public bitches and incur
ring expenses for surveying, viewing,
aad possibly the costs of litigation in
case all would not be willing to &C.
cept the di'ches as laid out, the peo-
pie of this town have agreed to have
the ditching done and each man pays
for his own ditch through his premis-
es. A mammoth ditching machine
operated by a party from New Au-
burn, Minn., is now on the ground.
The cost of making ditch three feet
deep on the average with this ma
chine is GO cents rod. Fifteen miles
of bitches have so far been contracted
for In this township to be excavated
this summer. Mr. Anderson is very
deeply interested in the matter OF
pushing the draining matters, par
ticularly along the public roads. Mr.
Anderson also stated that he expects
to make trip to the old country in
the fall to visit the land of his birth.

Powell Gets the Dress.

Ticket No. 1O6 was the lucky card
that carried off the handsome prize,
the lady's silk dress pattern, at the
base ball benefit dance last Thursday
evening. The holder was our genial
English friend, Mr.. Powell, of the
force of clerks at the Great Northern
offices, and thus many fond hope
among the feminine portion was shat
tered. However, the new possessor OF
the prize intimated that some young
lady in the city might still be the lucky
one who would don the silks.
When Mr.. Powell was informed of
his good fortune, he was inclined to
question the veracity of the statement
made by his informants and it was
with some difficulty that he was per-
suaded to return to the hall, where he
had been q spectator the earlier part
of the evening. A speech was de-
manded and was delivered in the good
old English style.
There was a good attendance at the
dance and Manager Anderson was
we'll satisfied with the patronage given
the boys. Everyone of the $50 tickets
had been disposed of at ithe advance
sale. Sheets and pillow cases were
conspicuous by their absence and 40
ghosts appeared on the scene. Treats
orchestra furnished good music for
the occasion and all in attendance re-
port the affair as big success.

flanIeV Falls 8: WilImar 3.

This is the long and short of the
ball game played Monday afternoon
between the Hanley Falls and the
Edwards, w Wood & Co.'S teams. Chas.
Hoar, in the box for Hanley proved a
very efficient 'twirler," striking out
l6 men to "Coon" Nelson's 2 The
locals failed at the bat, and this,
coupled with some poor throwing and
errors, gave the game to the visitors,
who hit "COons" "curves" hard and
often.
Considering the locals lack OF
practice and absence of some of the
best players: the game was satisfac-
tory. The next game will be played
at Spicer between the same teams and
at that time the locals, with Booth in
the box, will undoubtedly prove them
selves dangerous opponents.
The following is the score by in
nings:
