WATER EXTREMELY Low.
Chief Of White River Junction Fire De-
partment Asks Users to Be Careful.

White River Junction, Feb. &c.
r. Jamason, chief Of the village fire
department, has issued a warning to
householders and property owners in FIRE
district No. !, against earelessness in
the use of furnaces and heaters. There
Is no surplus water in the reservoirs,
in fact the supply is hardly normal for
winter, pipes are frozen up in many
places in the district, and it would not
take long for fire Of any extent here,
or in West Lebanon, n. H., to use up
che available water supply.
William Shattack is supplying fam
lies on Taft's fiat with water drawn
from the White river, the springs in
that locality being frozen up. Old resi-
dents say that for twenty-five years the
frost was never known to penetrate
the ground to the depth it has reached
this winter.

The following bits were brought out
at the Investigations Of the Vermont
State Hospital for the Insane at Water
bury: The fact that great number
of visitors were entertained at the hos
pital was brought out by DR.. Berry
aud he said the matter caused a great
deal OF comment in Waterbury. He
said that not only the superintendent
entertained company, but that members
Of the staff and attendants did the same
and that he and Mrs. Berry had not
been backward in having guests, al
though he thought their record would
compare favorably with others. This
he said cost the state much money. He
said that various clubs were entertained
at the institution from time to time
and that certain church had received
contributions, all Of which formed q
topic Of comment and discussion, the
wonder being, who paid the bills.
If we remember correctly that was
one Of the things which caused 50 much

KENT TALKS DRAINAGE.
The Original Drainage Man Sees IRE
mendous Benefits.


Des Moines, Sept. Sd. A. Kent of
Jewell, than whom no. Iowa man is en-
titled to more credit for the drainage
legislation OF the state, was In Des
Moines yesterday on his way to Cen
terville. where he will confer Monday
with the board Of supervisors Of APP
panoose county relative to project to
straighten the Charlton river.
The scheme contemplates the con-
struction of a ditch eight miles in
length, beginning at the state line and
running north in the Charlton river
valley. It will be distinct and separate
from the river channel as it now runs,
but is planned to take the water from
the river.
1t will redeem about $4,000 acres of
land which now is practically valueless.
The river runs in a sinuous course
down the valley, which is about four
miles in width. and winding back and
forth In the valley keeps all of the land
all OF the time. so wet that 1t cannot
be titled satisfactorily.
The ditch will be straight and while
the water now travels about forty miles
to get from the point a little southeast
of Centerville to the state line. the pro-
posed ditch will be able to handle 1t in
eight miles. In other words the water
will pass thru the ditch at about four
times the speed 1t now passes thru
the channel of the river. AS a result
the ditch can accommodate all Of the
high water overflow though it may not
be as large as the channel Of the river
itself.
How the Ditch Grew.

object lesson for the Appanoose coun-
ty people" said Professor Kent. 'It

three feet deep and nine feet wide at
the top, running down to point like
an inverted pyramid. Now, twenty
five years after it's construction, 1t is
ten feet deep and sixty or seventy
feet wide at the top. 1t was construc-
ted on the theory that it would drain
100000 acres of land, but 1T would not
do that, at first. Now 1t does the
work assigned to it, very well, and
has made thousands of acres OF land'
formerly valueless, worth from $50 to
500 an acre. The same thing, / nave
no doubt, is possible in the Charlton
river improvement which is contem-
plated in Appanoose county.
IF they wish to expend the funds to
build ditch that. will take all of the
water, it will be easy to redeem the
land Immediately. But If they desire
to start 1T like the Skunk river ditch
even that can be done successfully.
For the water, once it finds its way
along the new channel, will quickly
cut it's way, the channel being
straight
1.-THE theory Of the Appanoose coun-
ty improvement is to build the ditch
at one SIDE of the valley. 1t is be-
cause the, channel Of the stream cuts
back and forth through the highest
point in the valley that the whole of
the land is wet and marshy. If the
ditch be built to one side the rest
of the valley will always remain high
and dry and will be the finest land in
the world"
Mr.. Kent for years was one of the
enthusiastic advocates of drainage
law in Iowa which would permit the
business to be done on the wholesale.
1t early became apparent to him that
nothing could be done satisfactorily
unless the project was gone into ex-
tensively to drain large areas Of
land with the same Improvement. He
was here last winter, and conscien-
tiously aided the legislature in the

Grand Master Tufford Thinks it
Highly Probable That Two
Will Be Erected
OLD PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN IOWA
Orphans Home Will Undoubtedly be
Rebuilt at Mason City, but Sep.
arate Home for the Aged, Such as
Is Proposed, Would Prove More
Pleasant in Southern Part Of State.
Special to Times-Republican.

Clinton, Sept. 9.-Will v. Tufford,
grand master of the I. o. o. F. of
Iowa, has returned from Mason City,
where he conferred with the directors
of the state association in regard to
the action to be taken following the
destruction by fire Of the state home
for orphans and old people at Mason
City. Mr.. Tufford states that although
no definite action has as set been
taken, there is no doubt that the home
will be rebuilt. He believes it highly
probable that the destruction of the
Mason City home will result in the
erection Of two Odd Fellows homes in
Iowa, one at Mason City, ON the site
of the old one, for the orphans, and
the other in some southern city OF
Iowa, the site to be selected later, for
the old people. who heretofore have
occupied quarters in the orphans
home. 1t Is commended that home for
the aged in some southern city Of the
state would prove more pleasant for
the occupants, as there Is a distinct
difference In the temperature in tho
southern tier Of counties from that Of
the northern counties of the state. The
location Of the home in southern Iowa
would mean large saving every year
in the matter Of fuel. ALSO The ques-
ton Of building home for the old
people in lower Iowa has been under
consideration by the Iowa Odd Fell
lows for several years. and now tina.
the fire has necessitated the erection
of a new building. 1t Is highly proba-
BILE that the plan. which Is favored by
so many members Of the great fra
ternity throughout the commonwealth.
will be adopted. and two buildings be
erected, in different cities.
Grand Master Tufford favors the
erection Of two buildings on the site
Of the old home at Mason City, DEEM
ing that two smaller buildings would
be more satisfactory than one large
one for all purposes. II he can con-
vince the directors Of this fact the plan
will be carried out.

Waterloo. Sept. 9.-Dr. +. c. Sage
of this place, in speaking of his recent
trip in Minnesota, said he was much
surprised at the amount Of flax which
is raised in that state, the fields of
which, in some sections, stretch for
miles. The most surprising thing,
however, Is the manner in which the
residents Of that state are now taking
advantage Of their opportunities to sell
the straw. At the town of Elma there
were 200 large stacks of flax straw
piled along the track which had been
purchased by an eastern corporation
from the farmers at $11 per ton, deliv-
cred to the track This had been cut
with binder and will be threshed as
other grain, and the straw after being
prepared for shipment by this corpora
ton will be sent to an eastern factory.
