Dean Makes Report To Joint
Drainage Board.
Allen Creek Ditch Gets Soldier
River Flood--Other BUSH
ness of the Meeting.


Nonpariel July 21-In the
unusually heavy rains and con-
'sequent severe floods in the
Boyer river valley, the cutoff
bitches from the Boyer have
demonstrated their efficiency,
according to the report of Seth
Dean, engineer, which was pre-
'sented yesterday to the Harri-
son-P ottawattamie joint drain
age board in session at the
county court house.
The cutoff referred to, Mr..
Dean says, carried off all the
flood water as fast as the river
brought it down from above,
and protected the adjoiring
lands from overflow. There
was, however, considerable
damage to crops by rainfall in
the fields, which, because of the
high stage of the river, could
not be drained.
Two small breaks were re-
ported by the engineer in the
levees along the Willow creek
ditch. One of the breaks was
near the north end of the ditch
the other on the west side of
the ditch, about a mile north of
Missouri Valley, at a place
where an inlet had been put in
by private parties. The Willow
creek ditch carried practically
all the water that flowed into
it, declared Mr.. Dean in his re-
port.
The contractor had not re-
moved the silt from the ditch,
said Mr.. Dean, but the water
carried away considerable of
sediment.
SOLDIER OvERFLoWs.
Into the Allen Creek ditch,
the engineer reported, a large
amount of water had come
from the soldier river territory

The following article recent
lly appeared in the Davenport
Times. "The reporter has
heard several Of the leading
doctors of our city say that
Root Juice is certainly a great
medicine, as a number of their
patients after using it a short
while for chronic stomach, liv-
er and kidney troubles were
rapidly improving. One broad
minded doctor was heard to say
in the presence Of a number Of
people that he prescribed it to
his wife for a chronic liver
trouble and from a short use Of
it is simply astonishing. The
remedy is doing so much good
here in Davenport that it is the
common talk of the city. Peo-
pie from every walk of life are
praising it, and as a conse-
quence the demand for the
Juice is SO great that it is hard
to keep it in stock. The extra
ordinary merits of Root Juice
have been proved by the expe-
rience of home people whose
word cannot be doubted. Those
who have Investigated have
found every statement made in
this paper in relation to the
remedy as true as gospel!
Scores Of people are calling at
the drug store daily, and prais-
ing and praising the great rem
|edy to the skies forthe wonder
full good tits doing for them-
selves, or some member Of the
family. Mr.. F. Monroe, who
is we'll known here, said he has
spent over four hundred dollars;
for medicine and treatment for
his stomach trouble Of long
standing without benefit until
he started to take Root Juice,
but that one bottle made such q
change in his condition for the
better that even his friends
were noticing it. Mr.. Jesse
Bennett said: Both my boy
and self were badly afflicted
with rheumatism when We
commenced to take Root Juice.
In fact, / was unable to get out
of bed, but after using It awhile
my boy no longer complains.
The Root Juice people have
hundreds Of testimonials from
we'll known people all over the
state. The remedy is begin
ming to create much talk here
in Mo Valley as several that
have been using it q few days !,
|are praising i very highly.

that D. 3. Brainard, present

"The divice employed is a COM
