REPORT On DlTCaEs

Plan to Benefit 1855 Square Miles
in Two COusties.

Recommend Several Channels
Instead Of One Ditch.
Willow and Boyer Cut-eff tc be

Size Of the Big Drains.
| Nonpareil, Sept. q.
Commissioners r. B. Wilson
|of Carson and w. II. Fenslor of
Missouri Valley and Engineer
Thomas Tostevin of this city
have submitted a full report to
the county auditor on their
survey for the system of drain
age bitches for Pottawattamie
and Harrison counties. The
work has taken more than two
months, and while the commits
Isioners and the engineer had
an old survey to work from,
they have found it advisable to
recommend several changes or
extensions in the original
|plans.
The area covered in the pro-
! posed ditch district embraces
the greater portion of Rockford
township in this county and
extends north iats Raglan
township, Harrison county, av-
eraging five miles in width and
approximating l55 square miles
| of territory. One hundred and
fo-ty miles Of lines and levels
we've run during the survey.
A large acreage of land within
the area to be drained had been
subject to frequent overflow in
the past and consequent dam
age to crops.
FAVOR SEVERAL CHANNELS.
The examination shows that
it will not be practicable 10
carry off all this overflow in
one channel, but i'm order to
drain the region effectively
there must be several. A large
area on each side of Willow
creek, in Harrison county, is
lower than the banks of the
stream, and artificial drainage
will have to be provided on
each side of the channel. In
spection OF lands in Pottawat-
tamie county reveals the same
conditions, with the additional
handicap that floods from the
overflow of Harrison county
streams have no other outlet
than over the low lands and
through the sloughs of Rock
ford township.
Flood conditions along the
Boyer river, which has a water
shed of approximately 900
square miles, are reported by
the commissioners and engineer
to be especially difficult of rem
edy. The channel is from IL
to IA feet deep, but for many
miles in Harrison county there
is little or no fall, and the only
thing that makes the stream
flow is the weight of the water
above it. There is one bend in
the river where overhows are
of frequent occurrence.
DITCH RECOMMENDATION.
The commissioners and en-
gineer recommend the con-
struction of the Willow creek
ditch, with a bottom of eight
cen feet: the Allen creek ditch,
sixteen feet; Boyer river cut
off, forty-five feet, and also one
to be known as Boyer cutoff
DO. 2, whose width at the bot
!, tom will be forty feet. Side
slopes at an angle of forty-fve
degrees are favored.
1t is proposed to form a
junction of Boyer cutoff No. 2
and Willow creek bitches a
mile north Of the line dividing
the two counties. The distance

Mrs. Phebe Amelia Pratt, widow of
William Pratt, yesterday celebrated
her ninetieth birthday anniversary at
her home, 166 Broadway, Chelsea. A
reception was held from to 6, during
which the old lady received numerous
callers and was tn ,ipient of many
presents. She was listed in receiv-

Stoughton; Mr.. and Mrs Charles H.
Pratt of Chelsea; Mrs. Eugene Pratt,
two of her grandchildren, Chester
and William Pratt, of Chelsea, and
Ida and Mabel Pratt, of Stoughton.
The reception was planned by her
relatives and the members of the First
Baptist Church of Chelsea, of which
she is a member.
During the summer Mrs. Pratt
wrote
"Gentlemen:-I am now almost 81

what Would Happen.
On the other hand, let it be known
to the business world that, by poll
teal revolution, white supremacy as
represented in the Democratic party
has been overthrown in. Georgia, and
that the Republican party with its
black cohorts had grasped the refine
of power in the state, and capital and
investment would as promptly flee
our borders as darkness follows the
disappearance of the sun. We have
orderly and honest and economical
government in Georgia. If so let the
truth be proclaimed that it is be-
cause the Democratic party of the
State is in power and embraces with
in it's membership those who repre-
sent the educated intelligence. the
virtue and the property of the
state, all united in the maintenance
of white supremacy.
A Peril to Investments.
We have a marvellous and a rapidly
increasing material prosperity. the
product of the diligent and peaceful in
dustry of our people. And this in
creasing wealth, is, in it's production
through all our varied Industries, made
practicable because the white people
of the state, acting through the Demo-
cratic party, by the maintenance of
good and honest government, make it
certain that investments are safe in
Georgia, and that every man is pro-
tected in the fruits of his labor either
of his head or his hand; and further
that the value of no mans property
is to be practically confiscated either
through the burden and waste, or the
plundering of dishonest and incapable
government.
1t is because Of the fact that the
Democratic party, through white su-
premacy, maintains in Georgia honest,
capable and economical government
with protection to person and property,
that the people of Georgia, both white
and colored are, speaking generally.
peaceful, contented. prosperous and
happy. And 1t is a fact, equally in
capable of successful denial that IL the
Democratic party were to lose power
in Georgia, and IL the Republican party
should, with those who would neces-
sarily compose It's majority. gain con-
troll of the state, we would have in
Georgia neither honest nor economical
nor capable government nor would
there be among our people, white or
black, either peace, or contentment, or
prosperity or happiness.
Democracy tne SSuths sniNutton.
1t is well to note present conditions
and to recur to the struggles OF the
past, I'm order that we may recall the
remembrance off the utter ruin and
desolation from which the Democratic
party saved the South and that we
may realize the abyss OF social degra-
dation and material desolatlon and
governmental ruin I'm which we would
be to-day plunged, II II had not been

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

An amusing and entertaining per. formance is assured when 'The Sleep ing Beauty and the Beast comes to Polls Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. This big spectacular Christmas pantomime was originally presented at the Drury Lane theater, London, and secured for this country to be presented at the Broadway the, ater, New York city, where it ran to big business, for an entire season. All the scenery and paraphernalia used was imported direct from London; the gorgeous costumes have never been duplicated in this country by any other attraction. Young folks and old find the production a fascinating 6ne, and every episode in the spectacle which ingeniously welds together the two popular fairy stories of childhood iA followed with the keenest attention
 The drollery of the comedians, the movements of the dancers, the songs of the vocalists, in fact everything con. nected with the production, is sure to make on instant and lasting impress sion. The dancing is particularly charming and the transformation at the end of the second act, when hun dreds of people appear on the stage. representing the different seasons of the year, will not soon be forgotten.

THEATER MANAGER
 AND THE SYNDICATE

The contract once signed with the Syndicate people, the theater managers were absolutely at the mercy of the Syndicate. Good or bad, they had to take what was offered in the choice of plays. If they rebelled after signing, the Syndicate whipped them into sub mission by forcing on them willy -n1lly whole raft of rotten shows A manager, if he were ambitious enough to write play for himself had no op- portunity to produce it. This actually happened, and the unhappy author manager was not only made to give up his pet scheme, but had to take instead a costly production which was a flat failure. And no legal redress was possible-the contract had been signed. Furthermore, if the Syndicate so de sires, it could grab uP any theater of any boolzing value in the country. It has allowed managers throughout the United States to keep possession of their own theaters; because by so do- ing, the owner bears possible losses which otherwise would have to be borne by the Syndicate, and the per centage fee by this method of business has to flow into the coffers of the Syn dicate whether the season is a favor- able one or not It is Heads I win, tails you lose" Remember too, that the Syndicate always insists upon get ting it's profits week by week, This means that where there are no profits, the losses are never divided.-Leslies Monthly.

THE PARIsIAN MODELS.

Henriette De Serris's Parisian mod, els nave proved quite an extraordinary novelty at the Jacques, being in theia way the most remarkable thing that Manager PQli has yet presented as q headliner at this house. If anyone has seen the living pictures that were once so popular in American theaters, it Is evident at once what striking ad> vance these statuary groupings are and what subject they are of study as we'll as entertainment. Madame De Serris has selected perhaps the moss famous groupings of the old world art galleries, and she has brought her models to such perfect reproduction of them that one can almost imagine it is the orginial groupings that arG being seen. Naturally, as head- liner. the groupings are proving won depfully popalar and entertaining. AS a special feature Francesca Bedding and her company are presenting A Texas Widow" in a way to win much favor. Charles F. Semon, "the nar- TOW fellow,'' has a musical number that for comedy and musical skill has probably not been equaled on this stage. The remainder of the bill, which has preponderating amount or comedy. is contributed by Josephine Gaesman and her pickaninnies, John and Nellie Doner, Phil Morton, Watson and Hill, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 1O and 20 cents, ladies 10.
