coldwater Drainage District.

a large and enthusiastic meeting Of
landholders was held at Crenshaw and
an organization perfected tn BE- known
as the Coldwater Drainage district.
The plan Is to cut a canal some forty to
sixty feet wide, leaving the river near
Askew and inter.ecting 1t again near
Marks, a distance Of about lsO miles by
river and Is by canal. A. there are
several hundreds ot thousands Of acres
in the district, it is thought that the
total cost will only amount to a matter
Of from 75c to 81 per acre, aud this will
be distributed through a period Of
years, making the burden Of taxation
only few cents per year, which will be
as nothing compared to the increase Of
from one to five times the present value
of something like four hundred thou
sand acres OF lands-lands that will b.
the garden spot of the delta when this
system of drainage is completed.
