thought will show that an immense
amount of water has to be taken care
of. The extent to which the lake
surface will be lowered will be de,
termined by the surveys aow being
carried on,
The old canals 9uId possibly
keep the water down once it reached
the required state, but did not have
sufficient capacity to bring it down;
then, too, having no levees, they were
easily overflowed, covering the entire
low lands.
The drainage districts involving
about one hundred thousand acres
inclusive OF the lake and the con-
troll of the lake will effect an annual
saving of thousands, single individ-
uals counting on o saving of as much
as five thousand dollars.
The survey will require about two
months and the party embraces sew
en- men. Done by private engineers
it would cost the district about
81, 500; this amount is saved to the
district by the Reclamation Service
of the U s Department of Agrlcul-
ture. Many beautiful old residen'
ces have been abandoned because OF
the failure IN crops, and no doubt
when the purpose of this survey is
accomplished and the plans carried
out, these places will be revived
and their masters come again into pos
session of natural advantages rare.

DRAINAGE PROBLEM.
Work OF Government In ReClalming
Abandoned Lands Along Atlantic Coast.

Editor County Record
According to promise am going
to tell your readers of the work Gun
Gle Sam" is doing here for the prop
erty holders of this community.
Years ago, long before the Civil
war. no doubt, large tracts of the
rich coastal lands here were cleared
and put into cultivation. There is
no history of this section but doubt
less the good old planters soon e.
nough discovered the necessity for
some meads Of disposing of the
waters coming down from Lake
Phelps at times of excessive rain
fall.
Sooner or later the faithful slaves
were put to work in constructing
some eight or ten canals from the
lake to the Scuppernong river, about
eight miles to the northward. These
canals were surveyed and were dug
with wooden shovels. The lake,
strange to say, occupies the crest of
a broad plateau, so to speak, and is
some fourteen feet above the water
in Albemarle sound, twelve miles to
the northward. The adjacent land
slopes away from the lake with a
good fall (about seven feet in first
three miles,, but lands farther out
from the lake are almost perfectly
flat, so that while the lands border
Ing on the lake may be easily drain
ed, those farther out suffer because
of drainage. A large part of the
lands included IN this drainage dis
trict are but little 1.-TWO feet at most)
above sea level so that the problem
becomes very complex because of
water from the lake above and be-
cause the constant high water table
keeps land in bad state mechanical
ly. The problem then involves the
lowering of the water In the lake to
such an extent that the lowest lands
may not suffer in times of excessive
rainfall upon the lake. AS one inch
of rainfall on this lake means about
200, 100000 cubic feet or 100000,
600 gallons and as the mean rain
fall for the crop season lis about
twenty-five inches, moments

Prominent Official of Mexico & Colorado Incensed Over Re- fusaI of Owners in Valley to Grant Right of Way.

Doulsas. Jan. 2s.-"if the people of Douglas want the Mexico and Colorado railroad to connect with tr- Southwestern within the limits of the city of Douglas it is essential that few land holders up the valley reeede from their altitude of attempting 10 get lnordInate prices for a rieht-of-way over their lands. if these owners will not give us right ofwsy over their lands, for which we will agree to pay for any actual dam ages done, the railroad will be divert ed from Douglas 10 a point three or four miles on either side"
 These are cold siugs of truth that emanated from a very high official source fin matters connected with the NJ. and q. railroad. Back of the state ment was a note which indicated there was nothing of ''bluff" in the an nouncement
 "As a matter of fact" said an off cial of the railroad interuewed to- day, it would be a more economical route if we were io cut out Douglas and connect with the Southwestern west of the city. But at that we would prefer to bring the liuc from Courtland right into the city and will still en- deavor to bring such land owners as are holding out into camp. But we think the people Of Douglas should have a full understanding of the sit nation, which is this:
