EXCAVATION BEGINS ON
BIG SIOUX DITCH

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Aug. 26.-Workmcn
and machinery are on the ground ready
to begin the construction of mann
moth drainage ditch in the region i'm
mediately north of Sioux Falls. The
ditch complete will cost about 100000
and is one of the largest projects of
its kind under way in South Dakota
this fall. Machinery and material for
the ditch now is being placed upon the
ground preparatory to the commence
ment Of the work of construction.
It is expected the ditch will be COM
pleted by Nov 1. The ditch will re-
claim thousands of acres of very valu-
able farm land lying along the Big
Sioux river. which during the past few
seasons has been flooded by the over
flowing Of the river and rendered prac-
tically useless for the raising of crops.
Among the machines which have ar
rived is O ditcher. which can work as
easily and effectively under water as on
dry land.
