DRAINAGE PLAN IN MERRIcK

Government Engineers Give Result Of
Their investigation.
CENTRAL CITY, Neb, Dec. s0-(Spe-
cfsl)-'Lowlsnds waived at $40 per acre.
producing hay worth IS to SO per acre each
year, can be made to produce crops worth
from SOS to $50 per acre by the Investment
Of 50 per acre. and their selling value will
be doubled"
This is a Statement from a report by gov
eminent engineers who surveyed a route
for the proposed Silver Creek drainage
ditch last summer. The report. which is
exhaustive and carefully gotten up. also
gives quite a number Of other good reasons
why the damp belt of Merrick county should
be transformed from a region OF haystacks
and swamps to one of comfortable homes
and growing crops. 1t was prepared under
the direction of c. G.. Elliott, chief Of drain
age Investigations of the Department of
Agriculture. by w. j. McEathron and II.
y Kipp. drainage engineers, and was ad-
dressed to the board of supervisors Of Mer-
rick county, being received by County
Clerk George Agnew the first Of the
week.
The drainage district extends from four
miles northeast Of Chapman thirty-six
miles in a northeasterly direction parallel
with the Union Pacific railroad. to the
confluence OF Silver Creek with the Platte
river. The area generally overflowed each
year has varied from a quarter of a mile
to seven miles. widening at the Burlington
crossing northwest of Central City, and
narrowing gradually to the mouth of the
creek.
These facts were determined by Mr.. Nc
Eathron, who made a preliminary survey
last May, and Mr.. Kipp, who with his
assistants in July surveyed Silver Creek
and its tributaries, examined the wet and
overlooked areas and developed a plan of
drainage. The report proceeds to show that
Il would be possible to locate the new
channel so that the line would be in the
lowest part OF the bottom lands and cross
the old channel as often as possible. After
the first twenty miles the survey followed
the old channel, with cutoffs only at the
sharpest bends. The cost of making this
survey was $3.50 and was betrayed by the
government.
According to the plan OF the surveyors,
shown in the blue prints accompanying the
report. the bottom of the main channel
would be six feet below the ground sur
face. although at the upper end OF the
ditch a depth of five feet would be suf-
f%icient. Such lateral bitches as would be
necessary would be from four to five feet
in depth.
The total area that could be reclaimed
Is a. 760 acres. and about 5000 more on
ridges dividing the bottoms and between
the meadows and the Platte river would be
benefited. The total cost would be SIS, sS4.
The total length of the bitches would be
72.5 miles.
The report will be considered at the next
session OF the board. January 10.

A Trial PaokAgS Of stuAFt's Charcoal Los
snESs sent free by Mail
The stomach and digestive canal OF
man fills with gases from fermenting
and decaying food. Such gases impreG-
nate the breath, filter through the sys-
TEN, spread disease and in large Quanti-
ties extend the stomach so that It shuts
off heart action and death sometimes
results.
Pure. simple willow charcoal absorbs
gas at once and stops impure food fer
mentAtion. 1t sweetens the stomach. kills
the effect of all odors such as liquor.
tobacco, onions, etc, OF at least prevents
them from causing impurities TO arise.
The willow is renowned for its cura-
tive properties and ancient legendary
lore is filled with it's use, by barbarians
and civilized men. AS early a. 500 r. c.
the ancient chaldeans were sagely cur
ing disease by charcoal and every mon
astery OF the old world healed the STICK
and cured the drunkRrd by using pow
dered willow charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal LozenRes are pure
willow charcoal, compressed with honey
into a delicious lo1enge. They contain
nothing but sweet willow charcoal and
honey. One may eat a box OF them ard
feel only benefit from so doing. Two or
three after a meal will be a sufficient
guard against bad breath and the same
amount eaten just before bed time will
insure a pure breath upon arising the
next morning.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges tone up the
blood, the liver and the stomach. They
are great laxatives also. but eating large
numbers OF them does not increase their
effect in a painful manner upon the
bowels.
They are gentle, powerful and pure and

Trom a STAT correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Dec. 0-(special.)-The most
-outrageously humorous performance-o the
onlookers-Nebraska has bean called upon
to witness in years IL scheduled for the
night of January 4 And at the same time
the performances win so down In history
as very reprehensible- On that night viii
be held the legislative caucus and some
one is going to get double-crossed. That II
absolutely certain.
This is due to the fact that some MEM
bers of the house Of representatives have
promised their votes TO moro than one
candidate for speaker. 90 n follows that
when a member Is pledged to two candi-
dates, one of the candidates m Necessarily
be lost out in the shuttle. There II no
question but some Of the leaders OF the
democratic party, who are dipping in on
the organization know this condition exists.
SO that is why the speakership fight IL still
way up in the air without a single person
within hailing distance of its final outcome.
It is a question OF who gets the double
cross the least.
So the first big preliminary question to
be disposed Of when enough Of the member
get to town Is an open or a secret CAUCUS
Those who have the largest number of
members on their list Of pledges will In
sist upon the open caucus and a public
ballot. for they have most TO lose from
double dealings in the dark. Those who
have few votes promised will ask that the
time honored and tried and found safe
dark lantern methods of Nebraska demo-
cracy be adhered to. These candidates have
everything TO gain.
