DRAIN PRAIRIE LANDS.
Comprehensive System Of bitches
For Valley,

A comprehensive system of bitches
which will drain prairie lands in
stead of swamps, has been planned
in the fiat country from eight to twen-
ty-five miles west of Fergus Falls,
and the survey work is in charge of
Deputy County Surveyor Martin AL
berg of Otter Tail county, and City
Engineer Blegen of Fergus Falls. The
bitches extend from the western
townships of Otter Tail county COM
pletely across Wilkin, and the system
already planned contemplates the con-
struction OF about eighty miles Of
bitches. 1t is estimated that these
bitches will redeem 100000 acres of
land and the cost of their construc-
ton will probably run up to s125.00O
to $15O,OOO.
None of the land that is to be
drained is to be classed as swamp
land in the ordinary sense of that
term. In fact. in favorable years it
has raised some of the best crops
ever harvested in the state. But in
1904 and 1905 it has shared the fate
of a great many other portions of the
Red River Valley and the grain has
been under water the greater part of
the season. Thousands of acres have
been utterly ruined and even where
the grain was worth cutting it has
been impossible to place binders in
the field. Conditions have come to
such pass that farmers are desert
ing the farms and drainage petitions
are pouring in by the dozens.

along and do 1t comfortably"
However,it depends on the wife
whether she Is an incumbus or not.
One middle-aged man who travels for
a clothing firm in New York told the
reporter that his wife accompanied
him on trip just once, and found
that was all she wanted of it. "She
soon got homesick for her friends"
he said. "Then a travelling salesman

himself to this, but few months of

glad to settle down in a comfortable

means that we are parted ten months
at a time, for make long trips, gen.

That kind of life would certainly
prove excess baggage" But there are
other kinds.
Damp sheets?" said one who has
accompanied her husband many times,
not only in various parts of this coun-'
try. but as far south as Mexico. Eyes,
we frequently encountered damp
sheets, and that's one season why

the sheets are dried. A man. though

The Naughty High Heel.

1t Is said on the authority of ply
stefan that many young women are
being treated for broken arch of the
foot, the result of habitually wearing
high-heeled shoes. 1t takes months
and sometimes years to restore such
a foot to Its normal condition, and in
some cases the victim must always
after wear a specially cnne,
shoe with steel braces to support the
foot.
