WillowCity Eagle: The survey
for the big ditch to drain the
meadows east of this city was
finished last week and the work
of securing the signers neces-
sarv for the completion of the
work is going on. A hearing
will be held in Bottineau today
and tomorrow. The proposed
ditch will be two miles long,
starting at the mouth of OK
creek and running in straight
line just north of the city to
the Ostby place west of town.
The work will be done with
stream dredge by some eastern
parties, as the work will be
impossible for local men to
handle. When completed
this piece of work will reclaim
many hundred acres of the best
land in the state, both hay and
farming lands and will be of
inestimable value to the farm
ers living along the creeks.

NOW ASSESSING BENEFITS.
BoitIneau and MoHenry County Drain
Commissions In JeInt Session.

The Bottineau and McHenry
county drain commissions are
holding a joint session at West
hope this week to assess bene-
fits in the Mouse river drain
age district.
These boards held a meeting
at Russell Friday. The Sen
tinel says of this meeting:
All the members of both
commissions were present. Al
bert r. Weber, states attorney
of McHenry county, and Assis-
tant States Attorney w. H.
Adams of Bottineau county,
were also at hand to give what
legal advice was necessary.
The meeting decided almost
unanimously in favor of the
drain. Only a few farmers op-
posed it and they only because
they did not fully understand
how the proposition was to be
worked out and how the assess
ments were to be made. After
thorough explanation hardly
an objection was made.
State Engineer Atkinson
and E. H. Cowan, one of the
largest contractors in Mime
sofa, were present. The work
of assessing those benefited by
the drain will be commenced
next Monday morning.

acre at which sale should be
effected by defendant to pros
pective purchasers introduced
by them, but it fails to allege
that they introduced a pros
pective purchaser who was will
ing to pay any sum in axcess
of $2O per acre and it also fails
to allege that defendant in fact
sold or had any opportunity to
sell said property for an amount
in excess of such price.
Held, that the complaint fails
to state facts sufficient to con-
stitute a cause of action.
2. Evidence examined, and
held, insufficient to establish
that anything is due the plain
tiffs for commissions under the
contract for the reasons that
proof is wholly lacking to show
that plaintiffs introduced a
purchaser to the defendant
who was willing to purchase
the property or that defendant,
in fact, sold or had an oppor-
tunity to sell for a price in
excess of 500 per acre.
3. For the same reasons the
conclusions of law of the trial
court are wholly unwarranted
by the findings of fact.
4. The complaint failing to
allege and the proof failing to
establish a cause of action in
plaintiffs favor, the judgment
in their favor and the order
denying defendants motion for
a new trial are erroneous.

feeders and is not open in com
petitive classes to agricultural
colleges, with it's course of
lectures and demonstrations it
is designed to furnish much
valuable information on the
subject of animal husbandry.
The classes in the premium
list cover individuals, pen lots
and car lots in cattle, hogs and
sheep. There are six prizes in
each class for the single cattle,
and five prizes in each class for
swine and sheep singles; while
in the car lot division there are
four prizes for all kinds in each
class.
In all there are nearly 1000
in premiums; and the small
farmer and feeder has a good
chance to win some of these
prizes.
The territory of the show is
limited to Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, the northern
part Of South Dakota, and the
northern part of Wisconsin.
Also there are no classes in
the premium list for breeding
stock. Therefore, the farmers
and feeders of this territory will
not be brought into competition
with the professional herds
shown at the big fairs.
The management of the show
has felt that there is a field for
it in this territory, and believe
that the farmers and feeders
will readily appreciate the ad-
vantages that will accrue to
them through the building up
of show of this character.
