DANGER Ditch Project.
Nonpareil, June %. I'm con-
sequence of the discovery that
all interested property owners
and tenants in the Pottawatta-
mie and Harrison county drain
age ditch district had not been
served with notice of the ori-
ginal hearing, proceedings rel
ative to the project came to a
halt yesterday, and where the
joint board of supervisors for
the two counties had expected
to pass on damage claims it ad-
journed to August l without
even taking up that part of the
program. Before anything
further can be done toward con-
struction of the ditch it will be
necessary to secure waivers
from every one of the persons
who were overlooked.
Responsibility for the failure
| to notify all owners and oc-
cupants of land in the district
is said to rest with the friends
of the drainage plan at Missou-
ri Valley who took the serving
of papers out of the Harrison
county sherriff's hands in order
to save expense. The records
in the ditch proceedings fail to
show service on about twenty
persons, all residing in Harrison
county and most of them in
Missouri Valley. Papers IN
PottaWattalnle county were
properly served through Sher-
iff Canning's office. About 200
of these were distributed, and
the number in Harrison county
was larger.
MAY ENDANGER PROJECT.
The refusal of one person to
waive service of the notice at
this time would, in the opin-
ion of County Attorney Hess
of Pottawattamie and County
Attorney Fallon of Harrison,
endanger the entire undertake
ing. Guided by this advice,
the supervisors declined to take
any more steps until the defect
is remedied. Harrison county
people have generally favored
the ditch, and its friends are
confident that those who re-
ceived no legal notice will sign
an agreement not to contest
the project on that account.
Otherwise, it may become nee
essary to drop the whole pro-
position, and those who desire
the ditch would have to COM
mence again from the first.
When the joint board met in
the forenoon, County Attorney
Hess addressed it and stated
that he had been informed of
the failure to give universal
notice. He advised against go
ing ahead until that matter
should be Strengthened out by
getting waivers from the part
les in interest. This precipi-
tated a discussion which con-
tinued until nearly IL O'clock,
when the supervisors voted to
adjourn over and allow time in
which to get things in proper
hape.
Chairman Brandes declared
that the joint board had been
particular at it's first meeting
to inquire whether notice had
been generally given, and on
being assured to that effect it
had gone ahead on the strength
of the attorneys statements.
Supervisor Baker expressed his
view that the lawyers should
have discovered the omission
beforehand and told the board
of it before the proceedings

w. H. Fensler and Attorney
C. w. Kellogg, both of Missou-
ri Valley, were called upon to
explain why all had not been
notified. Kellogg declared that
after a large number of formal
Acknowledgements of service
had been taken, one sheet of
paper containing number of
names had been lost. He and
Fensler admitted, however,
| that some of those in the drain
age district had never been
notified.
cit makes no differe nee in
my opinion" Mr.. Kellogg said,
whether those persons were
served with notice or not. If
those in the district who were
notified made no appeal, there
is no ground on which any one
else can come in and raise jur-
isdictional objections"
"That proposition is absolute
ly silly retorted County At
torney Hess, "for the simple
reason that before any court or
body can take jurisdiction of a
question all interested parties
must have notice."
Supervisor Brandes ask d
Fensler this question point
blank: 'Did you know of these
defects in notices the other day
when we established the ditch,
and let US go ahead without
saying anything about them?"
81 did not know of any not
being served" replied Fensler.
"The intention was to get ac-
ceptances from every one and
| supposed this had been done" :"
The question of who was to
blame for the state of affairs
kept the discussion going.
Fensler and Kellogg endeavor-
ed to show that the county at
torneys should have warned
the board before the first step
was taken. County Attorney
Hess answered this by saying
he was not in office at that time
and did not know of the defect
until recently. County Attor-
ney Fallon declared that as for
himself he had directed the
joint boards attention at it's
meeting last February to the
insufficiency of the notice given.
Supervisor Hall and other MEM
bers of the board stated that
they remembered his having
made mention of that point.
The two county attorneys de-
Tended themselves farther on
the theory that they were
not acting as counsel for the
ditch petitioners. Attorneys
Kellogg and w. H. Killpack,
representing those people, were
declared to be the ones who
should have looked out for the
regularity of all proceedings
taken other than those at meet
ings of the joint board.
81 did not know that | had
anything to dowith the serving
Of the notices." Mr.. Killpack
responded. sIt was the duty
of myself as county attorney at
that time to pass only on the
suficiency of the petition and
nothing more. | was under
the impression that the audit
ors were the men who had the
service of notices in charge"
This drew a rejoinder by
Auditor Adkins of Harrison
county, seconded by Auditor
Cheyne Of Pottawattamie, that
they had checked over the
names of people owning land or
residing in the drainage dis
trict and had delivered the no
tices to the sheriffs, which they
considered to have ended their

The Minneapolis Journal assigned a
young reporter to write up wedding
in his set. He had never described q
wOman's gown before. But he felt
equal to the task for the young brides
beauty still ravished his heart; every
detail was distinct. He took off his
coat, rolled up his sleeves and wrote
reyerentlY: "Her. white veil hung
down behind, ending half way between
the knee and ankle. Her gown was
white and there was on each shoulder
blade a Maltese cross made of lace,
and in the small of the back lace
star. a foot below the star was Il
lace pleat. The corsage was cut low
"a V shaped opening, eight inches
long and five inches wide at the top.
The body of the gown was profuseiy
trimmed with lace, from neck to
stomach. For further ornament a
band of embroidered flowers ran
around her stomach" Then he hand
ed in the manuscript, but the fashion
editor got hold of it somehow, and it
never appeared in the paper.
