A Denison boy playing around
an old elevator found a sack
containing 5,lS5 pennies. Just
how the pennies came there is
a mystery but the presumption
is that they were part of the
plumber of some bank robbery
and were hidden there.

Alum Baking Powders.

BAMEO.
The housekeeper should bear
in mind that alum makes a
cheap baking powder. 1t costs
but two cents a pound, while
cream of tarter costs thirty.
The quality of the powder is,
therefore, usually indicated by
the price.

night.

Saturday we enjoyed a good
long visit with another of our
boys, j. w. Barnhart, of Chi
cago. He as we'll as S. B. Sloan,
started on the active duties of
fife, after leaving Logan High
in the Observer office
lnd John too, is making a sue
! geess of his life, and he deserves
Asuccess. We are always glad
70 meet John and Sam and still
more glad to announce their
advancement. There is not a
boy in Logan but would do we'll
to take either Sloan Or Barn
hart for a model to go and do
as they have done and are do
1g. And if every boy in Lo-
an were fitted to fill good
,laces, the places are ready for
hem and ready for many more.
Each succeeding New Years
day finds greater opportunities
for the boys that are suitable to
fill them. On last Thursday
/. we attended the funeral of a
Iyoung man at Missouri Valley.
(That funeral was very largely
(attended by men who are
actively engaged in the siren

years ago. who have not filled
lthe places they should have
filled, who have not lived the
lives they should, and of whom
3even their own families would
hardly say their calling away
by death has left a place that
can not be filled, yet that was
said and truthfully of Earl
Harris on last Thursday. His
life had been clean, industrious,
filled with kindness and good
will towards all. His death
was a loss to the community
and the community realized it.
These boys or young men have
selected their own course, just
as every boy or young man can
select his. No amount of "pull"
Ian pull the boy up that
chooses the wrong way, and
every boy that chooses the
fright way finds helping hands
pn every side. They are ex-
tended to give a friendly push
or hearty pull onward and
upward. Boys, start 1904 just
right.-Observer.

MUST DIG THE DITCH

\
Falls tc Wcrk--Tried to Force
Boyer to Cut Drainage
Channel
Cold Wave Freezes River and
Makes Earth 100 Solid
Mr.. Smith VIII Accordingly Have
to Adept More Expensive
Method Of Making the
Boyer Cutoff.
Nonpareil, January a:
Contractor w. A Smith, who
had a nice easy plan to excav-
ate the two or three miles of
ditch from the Boyer river to
the Missouri as part of the gem
eral drainage ditch system in
the northwestern part of the
county, has concluded that it
will not work. Mr.. Smith en-
tered into a contract with the
county by which he was to ex-
cavate a ditch of something
over two miles in length that
will shorten the course of the
Boyer about eleven miles. The
contract price was IL cents a
yard.
The new shortcut for the
river has considerable fall and
runs through a light, friable
and sandy soil. Contractor
Smith conceived the idea that
| if a shallow ditch was cut along
the line surveyed for the new
riverbed and the waters of the
Boyer raised by a dam and
made to run through it, the
current would do about 80 per
cent of the cutting. In accord
ance with this plan the prelim-
mary ditch was plowed and
scraped out early in the aut-
umn, and Mr.. Smith was maxi
ing arrangements to construct
the dam in the Boyer to raise
the water to the new level and
set the current at work, when
he was stopped by an injunction
issued from the district court
at the instance of some farmers
who own land on the Boyer
river bottoms in the vicinity of
the proposed dam. These men
sued out the restraining order
upon the showing that the dam
might cause them considerable
damage by flooding their farms
at ordinary stages of the river
and serious injury during the
spring freshets, when the turb-
ulent little stream is bad
enough anyway.
UNDERWRITING BOND.
When the suit came to hear
ing Mr.. Smith satisfied the OBJ
jectors by executing a bond for
$4,000 indemnifying them
against possible loss. The
farmers, however, insisted up
on putting some conditions in
the bond that effectively
spoiled Mr.. Smiths scheme for
quick and cheap excavation.
They procured the insertion of
a clause that required him to
remove the dam by March Is.
This gave Mr.. Smith the use of
the stream only in the winter,
when it carries the least vol
ume of water and when the
ground is frozen, but he went
ahead and constructed his dam.
About the time he got it done
and sent a prospecting current
along the shallow ditch he had
excavated and demonstrated
the fact that his scheme was
an engineering probability, the
weather suddenly turned cold
and froze up the source of his
power and the object of its at
tack. The water continued to
run however, but instead of
wearing away the frozen earth
it filled up the ditch and began
to spread sheets of ice over the
adjacent banks, threatening to
infiict the damages his bond
was to provide against. AS q
