The Observation-Disclosures
Meeting on May % The
asst

meeting held at Logan about
ten days ago. If the two
boards succeed in completing
the proposed settlement the
meeting will be their last as a
joint drainage board.
FURTHER EXTENSION LIKELY
Considerable ditch work still
remains to be done Which is
now nominally in charge of the
joint board. This is the extern
sion of the Boyer cutoff ditch
up the valley of the Boyer riv-
err to a point near Logan. tbs
expected, also, that ultimately
there will be still further ex-
tension of the ditch along the
Boyer above Logan. All of the
work now under way, however,
as we'll as any further extern
sion of the Boyer ditch, will be
entirely in Harrison county. 1t
is felt by the supervisors that
Pottawattamie county is not so
concerned in this work as to
warrant continuation of the
joint drainage board, and for
this reason a settlement be
tween the counties will be made
After such action is taken, Pot
Eawattamie county will have
nothing to do with further ex
tension of the bitches.
CHECKING UP
The principal part of the set
element between the counties
will consist in checking up the
accounts of the two county au-
1itors to determine what claims
have been paid in one county
which should have been paid in
the other, and a general closing
up of the books of the joint
drainage board.
The first steps toward the
construction of q joint system
Of drainage bitches in Harrison
and Pottawattamie counties
we're taken in 1904. Harrison
county was chiefly concerned,
and residents of that county
took the initiative. Two ditch
es were originally proposed ir
Harrison county. They were
known as the Allen Creek and
Willow Creek bitches, and fol-
lowed closely the channels Of
these two streams, which, in a
general way, extended in a
northerly and southerly direct
ion through Harrison county
At a point near the boundary
line between Harrison and Pot
tawattamie counties, Willow
Creek and Allen creek came to-
gether. and a short distance
farther south emptied into the
Boyer in Pottawattamie county.
JOINT BOARDS ORGANIZED
1t was desired to use the 3D.
yer as the outlet for the drain
age system to the Missouri riv-
er and for this reason joint ac-
ton of the two counties was
necessary, and they were there
fore constituted a joint drain
age district.
Now that all that part of the
ditch system in which Potta-
wattamie county is directly in.
terested has been finished, this
county expects to withdraw
and leave further work to Har.
rison county. 1t is stated that
this can be done, although NOM
inally the joint board now has
charge of the extension to Lo-
gan.
Since the Inauguration of the
joint Harrison ottawattamie
bitches, Pottawattamie county
has constructed two bitches anc
has a third drainage project I'm
der way. The Fensler ditch, a
small project in the northwes.
tern corner of the county, was
the first. This was followed by
the Pigeon Creek ditch.-Non

John Drew Injured.

New Yorw, Dec. s-John Drew,
the actor, was thrown from his
horse, while riding with his daugh-
ter on the Bridal Path In Central
park and seriously injured. The
horse trampled on the actor as he
lay on the ground. A passing auto
mobile stopped and Mr.. Drew was
picked up and hurried to the Pres
byterian hospital. Mr.. Drew is at
present appearing in play in this
city. Miss Drew was holding her
fathers head in her lap when the
automobile party stopped and volun-
teered to take the actor to the hos
pital. While the doctors were un-
able to determine the full extent OF
Mr.. Drew's injuries, they announced
this afternoon that he had sustain-
ed n severe fracture of the left
shoulder, and il was feared that he
had been injured internally.

ADVICE TO WOMEN.
A Message From a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking in
s. Energy and Vitality.

Thousands OF women valnly at
tempt to improve their complexioDs
and to remove blackheads, crows feet
and other blemishes, through the use
Iof cosmetics. This treatment fails
because the trouble lies far deeper
than the skin. They are suffering
from impure and impoverished blood.
This condition is in many cases due
to a catarrhal condition of the whole
isystem which finds its expression in
Isallow. muddy complexion, dark-cir-
leled eyes, general weakness of the
system, and perhaps most plainly in
the weeping of mucous membranes
that is commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency Is,
properly speaking. Catarrh. Danish
this catarrh, and the complexion will
clear as II by magic. eyes will
brighten, faces become rosy and
shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes
only with perfect health, and perfect
health for women can only be OBJ
tanned through one certain treatment
that which will cure 'catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that
the one positive and permanent re-
lief for catarrh Is Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Here is her letter:
81 can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
flor systemic catarrh. It's tonic effect
are remarkable. II builds up the
strength and restores vitality. II
women who are tired and run down,
Hacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will
praise as | do its strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu-
,cous cells-the congestion and in
Illumination OF which causes poison to
be expelled from the system, and the
blood is purified and revitalized. Thus
the natural functions OF the mucous
cells are restored, and the mem
branes are cleansed and made strong.
We know that Rexall Mucu-Tone
does relieve catarrh. We positively
guarantee to refund the money paid
us for this remedy in every case
where the user is dissatisfied. II liz

IHE CAUSE OF IT
MANNER OF PAYING FOR M
PROVEMENTS COSTLY.


That the present system OF paying
Nor public improvements is the cause
OF exhorbitant prices was demon
Istrated by letters received by City
Engineer Washington. When the
concrete for sidewalks on Fountain
avenue, Clay and Twelfth streets was
advertised in the municipal journals
nearly a hundred requests for plans
and specifications were received.
However only 16 bids were entered,
although the city did get low price
on the work
Since contract was let between rs
and so contractors, who received
plans and specifications, have writ
ten Engineer Washington. All state
the reason they did not bid was be-
cause Of the manner in which the
work was paid for. Should the city
pay the contractor when the work is
done instead OF handing him a bunch
of estimates, the majority OF which
he will have TO wait for several
months. II is certain that lower
price could have been secured on the
concrete sidewalks.
