scamps who are willing to accept the small
salaries paid the clerks in our consulates
because of the opportunities the positions
give them to accept brides and levy black
mail upon merchants doing business with
our government. We have recently had
conspicuous case of this kind in China,
and the culprit happened to be an Ameri-

live on and he was compelled to resort to
illegitimate means to increase his income
His dishonesty was the direct and inevitable
result of the parsimony of our government

Inundated and remorseful about 1t and
was in continual anxiety lest it should be
discovered by our government, but If he
stopped paying his business would be in

to a great deal of annoyance. Further
more, every one of his competitors, so far

ground that the United States government

TO RECLAIM
IOWA LANDS
DRAINAGEcA cANALNEAR MoULToN
WILL BE GREAT I'M
PRovEMENT

Moulton, March 2S.-(Special)-
The contract for the Charlton river
drainage canal has been given to John
McAndrews, of Kankakee, Ill, at the
rate of 121s cents per cubic yard. The
ditch has been sought for and The
plan has met strong opposition. The
Q. B. & @. railway has brought suit
for 100000 damage, but this case is
thought to be more of bluff than
anything else. H. G. Hanson has
this ditch for about ten years, having
pushed an injunction suit through the
district courts and to the supreme
court, which decided in his favor.
The canal will start about one-half
mile north of Sedan and run to the
Missouri state line, a distance Of about
six miles. The width will be twenty
feet at the bottom, thirty feet at the
top and the depth from six to twelve
feet. 1t is estimated that FAC, 900 cubic
yards of earth are to be moved, and
that 5000 acres of land will be re.
claimed from flooding and overfiows
This land will not exceed $40 in value
at the present, but with the canal
through, it will be worth several times
that amount. The approximate cost
of ditch No. i is $4,000 and to each
acre of land affected by the overflow
tax will be about $3.50. McAndrews
will ship his dredge as soon as possible
and put it to work. 1t is one Of the
large floating type called the 1.-TWO
yard dredge" and will complete the
ditch in about six or seven months.
Ditch No. 2 will probably be con
tracted for Monday and the work
will soon commence on it. Interested
land owners are also preparing to
petition for ditch in Missouri. This
movement will be great benefit to
this section of the country. Ditch
No. 2 will probably cost about $25, 900.
and will start at the Rock Island
tracks and meet ditch No. north
of Sedan.
