Farmers Union

a Farmers Union was organized
here last Saturday in connection with
the American Society of Equity, a
national organization OF farmers.
The farmers assembled in the G.. A {.
r. Hall at 2:30 p. m.
The meeting was called to order by
5. II. Goodfellow who stated the object
Ofthr meeting was to organize Union.
He then invited W. =. Slocum to act
a. chairman OF the meeting.
Mr.. GOOdiellow stated that it would
be impossible for him to remain to
take part in the proceedings OF the
meeting. Although he was not a
practical farmer he had always been
III favor Of and worked for the organ
i2ation OF the farmers. He hoped the
farmers present would organize and,
il he were eligible to membership he
wanted to join. He handed a dollar
to the chairman to pay his member
ship fee provided Union was organ
lied and he was permitted to Join.
II. d. Sherman, the national organ
izcr Of the American Society Of Equity
was then introduced and gave a de-
scription of the objects and aims Of
the organization and how the farmers
hoped to be, and had already been
benefited by cooperation along the
lines outlined by the society. Mr..
Sherman proved to be a very interest
speaker and his lecture was listened
to with close attention until its close.
He stated that the order was composed
OF farmers and their friends" That
fessiOn, or trade might be If he were
interested in the success and welfare
OF the agricultural class he was eligi-
bic to membership.
At the close Of Mr.. Sherman's ad-
dresse A. J. Fritts OF Elkton, was

organized with the following officers
duly elected: A. NJ. Hall, president;
W. p. Slocum, vice-president; S. II.
Goodfellow. secretary; and I. 5. Le-
Fevre, treasurer. The local union will

STRAIGHTEN SIOUX RIVER
Much Land May Be Drained By
This Method

The distance from the North Western
Railway bridge over the Big Sioux
river to Medary, where the river leaves
the county line, in straight line, is
about twelve miles. The course of the
river is said to be over thirty Imiles.
There are about twenty curves which
could be Strengthened by cutting
bitches from four to twenty rods long
that would reduce the courserof the
river to fifteen miles. TheseI bitches
need be dug only large enough to
catch high water and the current
would soon enlarge them sufficient to
carry the entire stream. In heavy
clay the bottom might Ehave to be
loosened when the water was low, but
the soil along the river is'generally
loose.
am informed that water will move
at least three times as fast Through
a straight course fifteen miles long as
it would thirty miles OF curved.course.
This would generally prevent an over
flow OF the river, except perhaps in
case of freshit, when there is ice in
the river and then there arc no crops
to be damaged. This would xdrain
about $50, 900 worth of land, most OF
which is ranked by the L. S. govern
ment survey, made few years ago,
as being the most fertile soili in the
state.
1t would be hard to estimate the
loss on these lands during the past
four years. While such.a protection
and improvement would make cultiva-
ton of these lands safe and they
would become a rich garden spot.
Farmers cannot afford dSsuchs risks
and losses and city likeNBrookings
cannot prosper when hemmed in on
two sides by lands that arelralmost
impossible. 1t seems to meEthat we
cannot afford to let this matter! rest
until everything possible is done to
remedy it.
| would suggest that a meeting be
called OF those interested to devise
ways and means to accomplish this
work. The loss OF one year will be
four times the cost.of the remedy.
Similar work has been and is. being
done ip Iowa and Minnesota from
which | have seen very encouraging
reports. My estimates are only
approximate but think they are con
servative.

Having a Good lime

When Philo Hall started for the
coast country he promised to write a
descriptive article for this paper, but
instead he sends copies of the Anacor-
It's American from which we learn
that he is having such a good time
that writing is a secondary COnsidera-
ton. On July 9Th the business men
OF AnaCOrtes gave reception TO the
commander of the gunboat Princeton
and our worthy townsman, we notice,
was among the guests and responded
to a toast. Speaking of Hon. and
Mrs. Philo Halls presence in that
city the American says: Hon. Philo
Hall and wife of Brookings, South
Dakota, accompanied by their three
children are visiting in the city the
guests Of their daughter, Mrs. II. l..
Dodge and family. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall will remain here for about one
month before returning to the land of
alkili, wheat and whetstOnes. Mr.
Hall who for many years has been
attorney general Of the state OF South
Dakota, is now the republican nomi-
nee for Congress from his district
and a nomination on the republican
ticket there means an election. In as
much as Mr.. Hall is sure. for Con.
gress and the fact that he is interested
by family ties in our beautiful city,
we make no hesitancy in asking his
support in securing government aid
in dredging Fidalgo bay. Mr.. Hall
is much pleased with Anacortes and
says with our splendid industries we
must grow into a fine city. He, on
short acquaintance sees a bright
future for US and we in return can
bespeak for him success as one Of the
nations law makers.
Many Of our citizens will remember
H. l.. Dodge, who was at one time a
eweler in this city, and who now has
prosperous business in Anacortis.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Neil Stewart Says 1t is a Sure
Thing

Neil Stewart Of Brookings, the cleo
trio railway promoter, held meeting
with the special committee of the city
council yesterday regarding the right
of way to be given the electric line
into this city.
The action taken by the meeting
was to discard the ordinance given
the first reading at the first meeting
in July which gives franchise to the
Brookings and Sioux Falls railway to
operate over the city streets. The Or
dinance will be substituted with a
new one giving the electric line only
an entrance into the city and the right
OF way to the heart Of the business
district. The first ordinance named
Phillips and Main avenues from
Sixth street to Fourteenth street as a
portion Of the city thoroughfares to be
used by the proposed railway. These
streets are not necessary to the opera.
ton of the Brookings and Sioux Falls
line and will be reserved by the coun-
Gil for city system.
Mr.. Stewart stated that all the COM
pany wants is the entrance to the city
and that there is no disposition to
acquire the rights on the business
streets.
Mr.. Stewart also assured the mem.
bers Of the committee that the elec-
trio railway is a sure thing, that the
money with which to build will be
forthcoming soon, and that the right
of way for the proposed line has been
nearly all secured. He left for his
home yesterday having arranged the
matter Of right of way satisfactorily
with the board of trade committee and
