sent to fill the vacancy.

Lutte Brown was held up on
the road from Little Sioux to
where he is working and re-
lieved of a watch a good pocket
knife and a small amol n, Of
money. This highway robbery
is getting to be quite Q common
thing and a little dose of hot
lead would probably be a good
cure for the offense. When a
man carries either a knife,
watch or money, he should
have a 44-caliber in each hand
and when someone stops him
discharge about ten of the
cartridges in his dirty body.
This would be a sure cure and
no one would doubt the iden-
tity of the person committing
such crime. Try it and see if
it will not do the business

the middle Of May. This MA
chire was handicapped at the
beginning of work last year az d
suffered considerable delay, but
the beard of supervisors are
pleased with theic work now.
Engineer Seth Dean, who
has petsaa charge Of the
bitches, ha a all over sixty
miles of wor s,' 'ook after, 2S
miles of when j, at Missouri
Valley. He is very enthusiastic
with regard to tho ontcone
here, as were the members of
the Pottawattamie board. Our
board, of course, have known
the great benefit to be derived
ard are certainly deserving Of
a great deal Of credit for the
hard work they have done and
are still doing to finish the
work. Now with the djtchas
being built, and the contem.
plated re-arranging Of the shops
there is no reason why Missouri
Valley should not increase in
size and business Importance,
which we believe it will.

the existing evils before the
Western Dredging Company

the existing evils before the
Western Dredging Company
will accept the machine. AS
the time for digging the Boyer
cutoff has been extended from
time to time, there is a likli-
hood that the Joint board, who
meet at Logan today, will take
some action to have the con-
tract annulled unless some sat
isfactory guarantee can be
given that the work will be
pushed. This ditch is of great
importance as the Willow and
Allen creek bitches are being
cut rapidly and this canal is
needed to handle the waters
that come down from them.
The big Boyer ditch is forty
feet wide on the bottom and
the dirt from side to side is
nearly 100 feet wide.
After leaving the Boyer
dredge the party drove to the
Allen creek machine just south
Of the Northwestern tracks.
Here lunch was. served and
every member of the party GER
tainly did ample justice to the
good things set before them.
On the trip Engineer Seth
Dean and A. B. Mum, of Ne.
braska City, accompanied the
party and gave interesting de-
scriptions of the bitches and
the work in detail. Pollard &
Campbell, who have the Allen
ditch contract, have cut about
ten and one-half miles in eight
months, a record that could not
be excelled. This ditch is six.
teen feet on the bottom and
one of the prettiest bitches
ever cut, according to the ideas
of the experienced engineers in
the party. Mr.. Pollard has
active control of this dredge
and his force of men show the
hand of an organizer. The
best of trained crews work this
machine and consequently
there are no unnecessary de-
laws. The members of the
party warmly congratulated
Mr.. Pollard on his efficient
work.

chine the party drove FOUR or
five miles north to the Modale

chine the party drove FOUR or
five miles north to the Modale
road and thence east, crossing
both the Allen creek and vii
low creek aitclles. The bitches
show to much better advantage
where the water is lower and
one cannot well imagine the
success of the drainage until
one has made q trip over the
territory. Land that has been
covered witn water constantly
for the past five or six years is
now perfectly dry and the
farmers are plow-ing and work
ing the fields, preparatory to
planting q crop. Of course no
inlets have been cut into the
bitches, but the water has
found its way into the canals
and drained land that it would
seem almost impossible to do.
There will be no better land in
this country than that in the
valley west Of this city when
these bitches are completed,
for the soil has been settling
there for years and is of the
richest kind. Fences that were
built in the valley years ago
are now useless, for the top
wires are within a few inches
of the ground and in some
places they are entirely COW
cred up. Land that was bought
several years ago from $40 to
S35 per acre could not now be
had for less than $50 and the
price will climb steadily up.
After crossing the Willow creek
ditch we came to the Calhoun
road and driving towards Mis-
souri, Valley one could not find
a more beautiful sight than the
wide valley extending as far as
the eye could see, which will
in the near future be the best
farming land in the whole
country.

BOARDS INSPECT
THE DREDGES
The Joint Observation-Disclosures
tamie Boards Make Tour
of Inspection Of All
Three Dredges
Yesterday.

Yesterday was an ideal one
for the joint board Of supervis-
ors to make their trip to the
dredges. The party consisted
of Supervisors M. Murray, A.
B. Hosbrook and John Holeton
of Harrison county. and Col. w.
s Baker, Allen Bulls, Thomas
johns and Felix Sets of Potta-
wattamie county. Supervisor
Spencer of Council Bluffs did
not come up as he had expect
I'D, neither did Auditor Cheyne.
The Boyer cutoff dredge was
he first machine visited and
lsere the supervisors found that
they are not doing satisfactory
s,ork. They have been on the
..round for about a year and
,ss than a half mile of ditch
as been dug. Yesterday the
dreage men were unable to get
leir machine to drop the dirt
it Of the big bucket and made
q; high as six trips with the
crane before it could be
Jumped. This scoop has a ca
,acity of two and quarter
ards of dirt but it is the opin-
IN of the two boards that it is
>,ot constructed properly for
'londling that particular sort of
"ail and they also believe that
'oere is no way Of overcoming
he trouble unless a change is
'lade in this part of the ma
cnine. The machine was built
10 the Featherstone shops of
Chicago, members of which
firm were on the ground yes
'erday conferring with the
Western Dredging company.
It is understood that this boat
Is still in the hands of the
Featherstone company, who
have been trying to remedy

not invalidate the policy. The
lower court was reversed and
the entire face of the policy of
the suicide was given to the
wife.
