guests were seated and the good
things of life disposed of. The cigars
were circulated and DIR. Taylor as

was the signal for perfect deluge

DR.. Taylor was in his most happy
mood and carried the after dinner
speakers along with him in his happy
vein of wit He told story after story
which kept the banqueters in an up-
roar.
Prof. Brannon of the State Univer-
sity was the first speaker introduced.
He discussed drainage in a humor-
GUS vein and told number of very
pleasant stories.
H. G. Hays of the Minnesota state
drainage commission followed with a
number of new and most happily ap-
propriate stories. vs. s.
DR.. Robertson of the State Uniyer-

speech was replete with wit and

DRAINAGE PROBLEMS OF VALLEY
Paper By John I. Stewart, Drainage
Engineer, Experiment station.

In discussing the drainage prob
lens OF the Red river valley I wish
1t understood that L refer especially
to a strip Of territory from twelve to
eighteen miles in width, lying along
the west side of the river between the
south line Of Cass county and the
north line of Walsh county. In using
the term Red river valley, shall use
It as referring to the Dakota side Of
the valley. .ss.
In some respects the entire valley
may be regarded as occupying unique
. position In the field of drainage. The
watershed has been spoken Of in var
ious publications., as the dividing line
between the humid and the arid re-
gions. The east side of the valley
Z extends into the region OF heavy rain
fall, and the west into the region of
light rainfall. The source of the river
being to the south and its general
course north 10, also, out Of the ordin-
airy for rivers of the United States.
The valley cannot be compared with
the heavy overflow lands Of the Mis-
sissippi delta, neither is its drainage
condition the same as the swamp up
lands of Iowa or Illinois 5s.
The topography OF the region Is
level sloping towards the east and
north at the rate of 10 feet to the
mile in the flatter sections with the
fall increasing as the ridges are APP
preached on the west SIDE Generally
speaking the greater fall is to the
northeast but this direction of great
est falls varies in sections from east
to north. The general directions of

luvial regions. the surface is higher
along the banks of the streams than
at some distance back. This is true
OF all streams and cOulees in the val
ley. This elevation of stream banks
is due to the overflow. The streams
being heavily charged with sediment
at the time 1t overfiows its banks, the
current is slackened and the sediment
deposited. Heavy deposits occurring
NEAR where the water first
leaves the channel. This occurring

The Gap in the Back.

The gap in the back! The reason for a
record-breaking list of June weddings
this year has at last become apparent
Last winter. when lovely woman read
that lingerie waists were to be the
piece de resistance of the summer
wardrobe, that they were to be hand
embroidered, and otherwise fussily
fixed, she Immediately began work,
and then she began to think. The
waists were to be buttoned in the back.
She knew what that meant, so she
joined a gymnasium. and practiced
feats of contortion that promised to
lengthen her arms and reach, reduce
the size of her hips, and make her
graceful and after all there were still
about three buttons on the waist,
In the middle of the back,
that could not be reached. She quit
the gymnasium, and decided to get
a husband, as the next possible best
thing to maid And behold the
records for June of this year, in the
marriage license department of the
public works, were beyond all other
records. In addition to the convent
ence of having somebody to button
you up the back, there is the divine
test of character and disposition. A
man who will stand season of lin
gerie. Observation-Disclosures waists,
while he is the fastener in chief, with
out committing suicide or murder, is
a jewel rare and much to be desired.
But the gap in the back that one
encounters in every public gathering
testiffes mutely to those who have been
left husbandless and those virgins who
got them no husbands. When one sees
the space of about three unfastened
