Special Train for
Drainage Enthusiasts


Drainage Enthusiasts
A special train carrying
about four hundred citizens of
the Soldier Valley, people from
Pisgah, Orson, Mondamin, Mo-
dale and from California juno
ton made the trip to Logan
yesterday to show their inter-
est in the proposed drainage
project of the Soldier Valley.
The special was joined at this
point by about twenty-five in
terested parties. On arriving
at the county seat the crowd
entered the court room to at
tend the hearing before the
board of supervisors as to
whether or not the report re-
Gently handed in by Engineer
Wattles, establishing the Sol
dier Cutoff ditch should be
accepted or rejected. There
was plenty of legal talent for
both sides, Attorneys C. w.
Kellogg, Emmett FINLEY and
L. w. Fallon appearing for the
Soldier Cutoff interests and G.
A. Bolter and H. H. Roadifer
objecting thereto. The route
for this proposed ditch is prac-
tically the same as reported by
Engineer A. B. Mum of Ne
braska, whose report was also
rejected by the board some
time ago. AS to drainage in
the Soldier Valley there is no
doubt but that all living in
that territory are in favor of
lit, but there was some question
as to the location. The report
shows that the drainage of
that section of the country
would mean about 100000 acres
of land practically reclaimed,
which is among the best farm
ing land in the country. Years
of waiting caused the people to
awaken and they finally ar
ranged the special train in
order that they might show
their unanimous support of
such a proposition to give them
relief.
At the opening of the hear
ing Engineer Wattles' report
was read showing the exact
location of the proposed Soldier
Cutoff ditch, the amount of
land needed for the ditch, the
cost of proposed construction,
etc. The report was given
close attention by the large
crowd and during the long ar
guments by the different at
Itorneys the people showed an
usual interest.
The route proposed by En-
gineer Wattles will cover g
distance of about six and one.
half miles, while the other
route mentioned would NEAR
some thirteen miles of drain
age. The MAN arguments OF
course in this case being to gel
at the route which would affor(
the most relief and thus elm
mate the great trouble which
has visited that Valley fol
years.
1t was about 2::30 when the
final arguments were made b,
the attorneys and then Chair
man Hosbrook of the board an
nounced that they wished som
time to consider the matter,
being one of such vital interest
The crowd filed outof the cour
room and the board immediate
ly went into session, and late
2 in the afternoon agreed unar
, imously to accept the report G
Mr.. Wattles, thus taking tn
Z first preliminary step in tn
ditch project.

i've to all people who live in a
farming community whether
actual tillers of the soil or not
lblt no farmer who counts him
self worthy the name ought to
miss this opportunity to fortify
4 himself in his honorable calling.
If anybody has to stay at home
to do the chores leave the old
man and send the boys and
girls and women. They need
the recreation most and they
will receive just the inspiration
that is needed to make them
contented with the farm.

We note from the booklet of
the Chautauqua at Missouri
Valley that the rates for tents
are practically unchanged from
last year. The standard 10x14
tent with siX-foot walls and
partition can be had for $500.
The same size in the low walled
"a" tents rents for 1925 and a
smaller size of that style for
$2.75. A slight additional
charge is made for tents after
August 3. Application should
be made to G. H. Bell, Missouri
Valley, Iowa, with inclosure of
at least $500, by payment of
which sum tent and location
will be reserved and balance
may be paid when renter takes
possession. We cannot think
of any better outing than this
and the total expense is incon-
siderable. Just think of ten
days in the cool shade, with de-
lightful music, thrilling oratory
and clean entertainment at an
expense so slight. Farmers
shouldstake their families; the
wife and children need the
rest and recreation; business
men lay aside their cares for a
time; and all the rest of US
take time to breathe the pure
air and give our minds a chance
to grow while our bodies are
resting.

Il selected it as you wished-just near
enough to be in touch with the gaiety
of Nice and far enough away for the
honeymoon retirement of Edwin and

what a charming home / have for all

Yes. the ladies win be here this

TO know if the privacy of the villa has
been preserved: You have driven into
Nice once or twice since you arrived? p
Yes, I've only been here five days,
and have been literally overwhelmed
with attentions" Prunella remarks,
rather grandly. MY horses '-Barnes
had paid for them-"take me into Nice
in 25 minutes over that beautiful for

"Ah, and Won Bulow?" he suggests,
roguishly.
"Oh, Baron Won Bulow was in ecstasy
at my presence. Franz gave me a
lunch at the Casino
"Oho, it has got so far as Franz "
laughs Burton. And your other ad-
mirers?" his tone is insinuating. You
cannot persuade me you hadn't more
than one, Lady Chartris.'
"Oh, several, but II don't like to
speak about them" The widows face
becomes rosy.
A good deal of this has been said
as Prunella has been showing Mr..
Barnes about the pretty house, and he
has inspected the rooms set apart for
Edwin and his bride and Miss An
struther.
Then, despite his hostess sugges-
ton, for Lady Chartris has lovely
him who is really the master of the
villa, Burton selects for his own use
a much inferior bedroom, but one that
gives him a commanding view of all
the country lanes that lead to the
grounds.

"An eruption broke out on my
daughters chest. l took her to a
doctor, and he pronounced it to be
eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,
and then the whole of her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost I'M
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-

doctor we tried afforded her just as

NO CRIME TO BET GLOVES.

There is nothing in the penal code

viii Try TO Reform.

Some of its readers having criticised
the London Law Notes for being too
Yankee in Tone" the editor replied:
Have our candid friends any idea
how dull the English law and lawyers
have grown lately? Rarely is there
any legal incident in this country with
a grain of fun in It, Hence we are
driven to younger country, where
lawyers, in common with the rest OF
the population, still retain some boy
ish instincts and are not too blage
with life to enjoy a joke However
we will try to be less Yankee and
more British and stodgy for as long as
we and our other readers can stand
it."
