Twelve Open bitches Under Con-
tract or Awaiting Further
Action.
Progress Reported Down to Date
from Documents on FIFE
at Court House.

A representative of this paper has
been looking up the importantfditch
enterprises of this county, now un-
der contract or awaiting action on
the part of the engineers or county
commissioners. As will be seen from
the detailed outline given below,
Redwood county has madei sub
stantial start during the past year
and half, the length of the differ
ent bitches begun or planned aggre-
eating over fifty miles and the ulti-
mate cost over 100000, this being
for the open bitches alone. Add to
this ultimate cost of the thing and
tributary branches, and some ade-
quate idea can be hadisof the vast
importance to be attachad to drain
age work in this county, the import
ance of which will be realized more
fully from year to year as the
changed conditions in agriculture in
this county begin to reveal them
selves. The following are the bitches
by number:
DITCH NO. q

Lakes township near village of

three, and runs east and north a
distance of about 6 miles and en-

Wabasha creek in section "a, town
of Paxton. This ditch has some IL
branches and sub-branches of tile
bitches. The engineers estimate of
the cost of the open ditch at IL
cents per cubic yard was SD sos. ~
and the total cost of the whole was
estimated at $22,364. The main
ditch was let to Jerry Sherwood at
8 $40 cents per cubic yard and Mr..
Sherwood now has his dredge at
work on same. Contract calls for
the completion of main ditch by Jan.

THE new CREAMERY MANAGER.

R. Stensvad, the new Creamery
manager, arrived here with his fam
lily the first Of the Isweek, and ha
taken possession of the house just
vacated by J. A. Schmahl's family.
Mr.. Stensvad plans to visit the
farmers tributary to this town and
interest them in creamery matt ers,
with the view to greatly charging
his output the coming year. Speak
ing of Mr.. Stensvad's removal from
Hull, Iowa, after selling out his
creamery for $4,000, the National
Dairyman observes, that 'The Hull
creamery is considered the best
equipped creamery in northwest
Iowa, and makes about 200 tubs in
the flush of the season. This is the
kind of an institution that will not
only help Redwood Falls, but raise
the value of every farm in the sur
rounding country.

Every body Clean Up.

The time for making a spring
cleanup of yards and alleys has
arrived and in all our exchanges
we see the warning notice from the
vari Gus city boards. At the meet
ing OF the Shoshonc city council
last Monday night tho marshal was
instructed to notify all Interested
parties to CLEAN UP their yards.
II looks as though ordinary con-
Germ for ones own safety would
make such warning unnecessary,
but experience has proven other
wise.
In many OF our Idaho cite. the
scourge of typhoid fever makes its
appearance regularly with the adj.
vent of each succeeding summer
and yet this disease is particularly
n filth disease and is due to causes
that may be avoided if taken in
/ me.
IL is especially important at this
time that our city be cleaned up
and put into its Sunday clothes for
the summer as there is not day |
passes but that strangers are com
ing here to investigate the posibil-
tiles OF the future development OF
our city. We should greet them
with clean streets, clean yards and
clean alleys as we'll az clean faces
aud clean clothes and clean con-
sciences. 4

When Greek Meets Hobo.

Joe Lee, a travelling man." me
| with broken shoulder and {
bruised body by reason Of conflict
with gang OF Greek laborers
working in the extra gang last Sun
day.
Last Sunday was Greek Easter
and the Greeks were celebrating.
They were also looking for trouble
which they found. Their foreman.
Louis Robertson, was set upon by
some hoboes and struck in the face
while on his way from tho depot TO
tho boarding car. He reported the
matter to the Greek interpreter
who in turn told it to the men. The
Greeks started out to hunt up the
hoboes and punish them. They
soon found four Of them and the
boss recognized one OF them as the
man who had struck him. The
bum was ordered to leave town at
once, or sooner, which he did, Go
ing back to the car the Greeks
caught still another one OF the bum
gang Ho was told to march but
while ho'was getting away the boss
took shot at him. At that the
Greeks jumped onto him and beat
him up pretty badly and broke one
of his shoulders. He reported the /
matter to the sheriff's office and
warrant was issued for the entire
gang of Greeks as well as the boss.
They were taken before Judge
Fuller and the boss was fined s25
and costs. Each of the ten Greeks
were fined SIG 95. The boss paid
his fine at once but the Greeks de.
,ided to tight it. A night in Jail
md council from their attorney,
however, changed their minds and
hey settled with the county the
,ext morning.

From Saturday until Tuesday
noon Shoshone WAS a very dry
town. The motor at the city water
plant burned out and necessitated
shut down of the water supply
People never realized before what
a convenience the city plant was
until deprived OF its use. So long
have our citizens used the city
water from the hydrants that there
was a great scarcity of buckets
when it came TO carrying al the
domestic water from the river.
Pans, pots, stew-pots and every
form of vessel that would hold
water was pressed into service.
Monday morning those who were
not patrons OF the saloons were so
dry that thy could not raise spit
enough to, wash cat-fashion and
had to go with dirty faces all day.
A Geographic order for another
motor was sent to Salt Lake City
and the machine was shipped by
express, arriving Tuesday morning.
When the new motor was installed |
md water again pumped in,o the
stand pipe it found half the faucets
md taps in the town open and sew
raj rooms and yards were flooded. I
The old motor will be repaired
nd kept as relay to avoid such
ccidents in the future. Fortunate
there was no fire started during
he dry spell and everybody is now
eing about with a freshly washed
ice and smiling over the acct lent
