campaign for the abolishing of the
privilege tax. believing that an adj
valorem is the My equable tax and
that the State should derive its rcven

would have all candidates for the

1t Is evident that the systems should
be laid out SO they will not injure
other localities. but that all of the
systems should, ON the other hand,
operate AZ q harmonious whole, in
furnishing one vast comprehensive
method retaining to the greatest
possible advantage to the entire region
directly interested. This can only be
done through some central authority
whose duty 1t is to harmonic the var
ious conflicting interests and with
whom all record shall be permanently
kept.
The expenditures of my office in be-
half of drainage up to the present
time are about $500, about half of
the amount furnished by all the four
counties combined. From this it may be
seen that the Office is doing everything
In Its power, as are also the agricultu-
raj department and the counties.

of the people in the making of plans

kinds of drainage of public nature,
in the construction of systems, in the

OF drainage districts and in all other
ways of public nature.
All the people have to do to re-

Why PeODle Do Both.

A wine expert was tasting both. In
tasting sweet wines he lowered his
head upon his breast. In tasting dry,
or sour ones he threw his head back.
why do you do that?" said spec
tator.
Il don't know. Habit I guess" the
expert replied.
You do it, the spectator explained,
because the front of your tongue can
only taste sweet things and the move
ment of your head is for the purpose
of throwing the wines upon the right
part of your tongue. The taste nerves
have different functions some handling
sweets, others sours, others bitters,
and SO on, Just as the muscles have
different functions, some working the
leg, and some the arm"
We'll, WE'LL said the expert. .tsYou
surprise me. At the same time, I'm
sure you are right. Everybody, come
to think of it, holds sweet things on
the fore part of the tongue to get
their flavor and sour things ON the
hind part" 57ii &ss

PEMBINA COUNTY.
Over 100000 Has Been Expended in
bitches to Drain the Land.

Senator A. Garnett, of st. Thomas,
representing the Second district in the
state senate, is among the CONSPICUOUS
figures at the drainage convention. He
is deeply interested in drainage mat
tiers and has had some experience in
the work being done in Pembina coun-
ty. Among the delegates from Penn
bina county are ]. S. Garnett, broth
er of the senator, H. C. Thompson and
w. j. Louden, respectively secretary
and treasurer of the Pembina county
drainage commission. The commits
sion has control of large amount of
ditch work already done and two big
bitches under course of construction.
The county has two big bitches al
ready completed. One known as Ditch
No. ID is in the southeastern portion
OF the county, three miles north of
Drayton. 1t is thirteen miles long and
reclaims thousands of acres of land.
1T was completed at cost of 500,
600. The other is known as Ditch No.
20 and parallels No. 10 some six miles
to the north. 1t is twenty-three miles
long and cost $4,000. Both bitches
empty directly into. the Red river and
have large carrying capacity. In
Vulnerable small bitches empty into
the main ditch and much valuable
land is drained.
The greatest ditch is yet only par
TALLY constructed and will be twenty
seven miles long. In the central por-
ton of the county where the Tongue
river bends sharply to>the north, there
is low stretch of country and the
storm water overfiows the river at this
point and mandates large area. The
ditch leaves the river near Cavalier
and runs almost directly east to the
Red river. 1t will cost 100000 when
completed and will reclaim large
tract of very valuable land.
George Patterson is also among the
delegates from Pembina county. He
lives at Bowsmont and is a heavy
owner of real estate and does some
ditch work. He is an enthusiastic be-
lever in both open and tile bitches.
He hopes to see the county we'll sup
piled with large bitches to give the
smaller bitches an outlet When this
is done. he does not doubt but that the
farmers will drain their lands. Tile
will probably be used, especially in
the lower tracts. Mr.. Patterson thinks
this will prevent the soil from baking
as we'll as do away with the surplus
storm water.
Pembina county has spent 100000
in the past three years on bitches. In
addition to the big ones mentioned
above, there has been a large number
of smaller ones constructed. The
county is one of the best in the state
and with proper drainage in some
localities, the producing capacity can
be greatly increased.
