or not the case bids fair to outrival
the famous Strever ditch in publicity
and court proceedings. Within the
past week a paper has been circulated
in the proposed district upon which
those opposed to the ditch have signed
up for varying amounts for the pur-
pose Of fighting it. over $1,000 has
been pledged for this purpose up to
date. The land south Of Stanhope is
very low, and is covered with sue
cession of sloughs and ponds some

little doubt but that the ditch will aid
in draining these, and that the board
will establish the district, whether the
majority of the property owners OPP
pose it or not.
