Contest Is Over Route Of Ditch to Di-

Special to Times Republican.
Logan, Jan. 16.-The Soldier river
drainage case has occupied the entire
time since Monday, in court and will
without doubt continue over into next
week. The contest is over the route
proposed by Engineer Wattles. and APP
proved by the board of supervisors. It
is claimed that the new route thus pro-
posed for the diversion of the Soldier
river, by Engineer Wattles. does not
satisfy the conditions of the drainage
law, which directs that the bitches
must be dug along the natural drainage
of the district in which the ditch is to
be located Engineer Wattles' ditch will
cost about $4,000 less than the ditch
proposed by the opposition, and 1t is
believed that it will be much more ef-
fective In time of need.
