STATE DRAINAGE BOARD
VIEWED SOME bitches
Secretary Of State, State Auditor, State
Drainage Engineer looked Over
II .-as
Work KoochichIng County.

Julius Schmahl, secretary of state,
Samuel Iverson, state auditor, George
Ralph, engineer of the state drain
age commission and Mr.. Clark, an
employe in the general offices of the
N. T. railway company, spent yester-
day in the vicinity of International
Falls, Big Falls and Littlefork
inspecting some of the state bitches,
which are being constructed for the
purpose of draining certain parts of
Koochiching county.
The gentlemen came down from
St. Paul Saturday night on the
weekend" special, over the
Northern Pacific and M. & I. rail
ways. They occupied a special car
and after arriving at international
Falls, yesterday noon, they were
given the use of an engine with
which to visit the points where the
bitches are in close proximity to the
M. & 7. railroad tracks.
They spent most of the day in
that vicinity and the car was finally
switched off at Northome to await
the down trip of the weekend spec
ial.
1t was reported that in one of the
bitches the contractor has encount-
cred rock, which will make the fin
ishing of the bitches much more
difficult than was at first ,antici-
pated.
The work, generally, is progressing
in very satisfactory manner accord
ing to member of the state DRAIN
age board, who made the trip.

WHO'S A "LYER?"

In the last issue of the Sentinel,
old Allen" exploded as follows, in
the fullness of his virtuous CD
wrath:
of all the d-nd lyers we ever
knew that little cuss over at the Pio-
neer table is the worst"
Just whether the odd man" meant
concentrated ''lyer" or the liquid
kind, we are unable to determine;
but at any rate, the gentleman who
is over at the Pioneer table" has
never been compelled to resort to
the cowardly action of attempt
ing to screen himself by trying to
shift the responsibility for being a
'lyer" onto the shoulders of his
daughter. Concerning this action,
a brother newspaper man of Beltrami
county says of odd Allen"
Blackjack Enterprise: I'VE
thought that Col. Allen, with all OF
his 80 years experience, was a
printer of the old school, but do not
believe it now, when he denies writ
ing the letter to C.. O. Moon about
Wilmann's loaning the county
records to the Crookston Lumber
company, and knew what the answer
would be, and then lay the blame on
his daughter.
If he had said the office devil
wrote the letter, every printer in the
country would have believed him
innocent, but when he lays it on
his daughter or others, his denial is
proof enough that he did authorize
the letter and few of the newspaper
menwill now think any different"
