Lake Lillian Ditch AGAIN.

0. H. Halvorson and Chas. M.
Holm of this county and A. j.
Smithson of Kandiyohi started in
yesterday on their work as viewers
of the amended Lake Lillian Cosmos
ditch. The first petition, on which
the route was viewed last summer,
was thrown out on the ground that
it drained meandered lake, Lake
Lillian. The old ditch was IA miles
long, while the new one is about
80. The new project goes all
around Lake Lillian and it's start
ing point is several miles northwest
of that body of water. It would
seem that the new ditch, tho not
actually touching Lake Lillian,
would pretty effectually cut off any
inflow into that body of water and
may dry it up without acually tap
ping its waters. The estimated
cost Of the project is close to $780,
