Supt T. j. Grer of the Homestake
has at last decided that the mine must
be flooded to extinguish the fire that has
been burning for over month. This
is the hardest blow that has ever struck
the northern Hills and is calamity we
may all deplore. 1t will probably take
a month to fill the mine with water up
to the 500 foot level and two months
more to pump it out and resume busi-
ness. The mills that were kept running
on the surface ore have been compelled
to close down as the water they would
use is needed for flooding purposes. 1t
is said that 1900 miners have left the
mine to seek employment in other
camps.

MISSOURI DRAINAGE DITCH
TO RECLAIM MANY ACRES


The man with small farm had as
large a vote as man with thousands
of acres. Trivial objections often were
magnified. Luckily, Southeast Mis-
souri-Scott Dunkin, Ste. Genevieve,
CAPE Girardeau, Madison, Stoddard
and a few others-were also asking
relief, so after convention at Cape
Girardeau, in which Bates county par
ticipated, the present law was passed
1t permits the formation of drainage
district much in the same manner that
sidewalks are secured in the cities.
A majority of the property owners to
be affected sign a petition and the
county court takes action. A majority
of theo acreage can force the building
of drainage ditch. The cost is as
sessed in proportion to the benefits
derived.

the bonds that were ordered.
Their total amount was $4,000, but
the promoters had figured the cost
and the resulting benefits. They found
that in round numbers about $4,000
acres of land would be kept from the
dreaded annual overflow, and that the
cos. per acre would be Sl0.93, which
could be paid off on the installment
plan. The method of assessment is
simple, though unique. The basis is
that land is either overflow land or it
is not Assessments are made on each

making no difference. Thus, if 80
