SOLDIER RIVER
DRAINAGE SUIT

VdIllCS dllu NAdyllC DllSll
Systems Involved.--
The Estimated
Cost
Logan, Ia, Jan. 90. The
Soldier river drainage case,
which has occupied the entire
week closed here today, at
least all but arguments of the
several attorneys connected
with the suit.
Both the Wattles and the
Wayne bitches for and against
which the two factions have
been contending, are to begin
at the same point in Jackson
township, above the town Of
Orson and practically run over
the same line to the southwest
for a distance of two miles
where the Wattles ditch runs
through Dry lake into the Mis-
souri, river a total distance of
6.6 miles. At the point Of sep
aration the Mayne ditch runs
south through the Spooner ditch
then southwest through Linn
lake into the Soldier river to
the big bend in Clay township,
and thence south into the Mis-
souri, river, a total distance of
sixteen miles.
ESTIMATED COST OF bitches
The Wattles ditch, with other
bitches and laterals, embraced
in the drainage system or pro-
ject, will cost 100000. The
The Mayne ditch, as per esti-
mate Of excavation, SIG, 600;
$4,000 for drainage and $5.-
600 for incidentals, or a total of
$9l, 900, but the friends of the
Wattles system of drainage
allege that this estimate is too
low, and that when the Mayne
drainage system is completed
as that of the Wattles system,
the cost will aggregate $780,
600.
1t is also alleged that the
Wattles ditch runs across the
Missouri bottoms in an obtuse
angle, and that the slope per
mile of ditch is consequently
low, and that in time of high
waters the ditch will become
the outlet for the flood waters
of the Missouri river, instead
of the flood waters of the Sol
dier river; while on the other
hand it is claimed that the
Wattles ditch has the proper
location and sufficient slope
per mile to prevent harmful en-
croachment of the waters of
the Missouri, and that the
Mayne drainage system has no
material advantage over that
of the Wattles system in point
of efficiency, and that the cost
of the Mayne system will great
lily exceed the Wattles.
The editor of the Defiance
Enterprise congratulates the
council of its town for refusing
to take the dollar allowed each
of them for their official meet
ings. It's quite a slam on the
place to have it said that it is
not worth a dollar a month to-
have six business men neglect
their private affairs to consider

town. Harlan Tribune.

Davenport Democrat: AS
they figure it in Washington,
the wholesale advance of 2
cents a pound in the price of
meats mean an advance of 6
cents in retail. From along
the line comes the explanation
that the railroads get 2 cents a
pound as an advance in rates
and expense, while the retailer
gets the other 2 cents to meet
his increased expense in rents
and help, wagons and tires and
his own increased living ex-
pense. Evidently it is an as,
cending scale all along the line

COMET SOLAR BODY
STRANGER.
Will Completely Disapper
Soon, Say l..;s..;..rd AS
tronomers.

Data received by Professor
Fox of Northwestern Univers-
ity from Harvard College yes
terday indicated that the johann
nesburg comet which is now
visible to observ -rs is a strang-
er to the solar system. The
orbit of the com It, this inform
alton explains, is a parabola.
The visitor has reached the end
of its journey and its course is
now away from the sun, so that
within a short time it will COM
pletely disappear. Owing to-
the fact that the tail is in the
form of a cornucopia and that
the hollow end of it is turned
toward the earth, the comet
appears to have two tails.
This, the Harvard astronomers
say, is only an optical illusion.
1t is possible that the comets
orbit may be an extended ellispe

journey is very long, for there
are no records of it ever having

Record Herald.
Cedar Rapids Republican:
Our own guess at the present
time would be in favor of a
sweeping democratic victory.
Even Iowa stands to elect five
or six democrats unless there
is a sudden turning of the tide.
1t depends on congress whether
that tide shall be turned. If
we are to go ahead with a quar-
reling house and senate the
democrats will win. So far
there have been few evidences
of a return to sanity in con-
gross. They are going head
long with their party to de-
struction. Just what can save
them from catastrophe is not
yet made evident.
Clinton Herald: The appeal
that has gone out from the Au-
dubon societies and from the
sportsmen of the country to
seed the birds and keep them
from starving to death is one
that ought to go direct to the
heart of every human being.
With all food covered up be-

Des Moines Capital: Grocer

Des Moines Capital: Grocers
and butchers suffer much from
losses, from people who do not
pay their bills. The man who
pays his grocer and butcher
must assist in making up the
losses caused by those who do
not pay. This is important.
The first step toward lower
prices in meats and groceries
would be the universal cash
system. No man ought to be
permitted to defraud the man
who furnishes him his family
supplies.

Worlds Greatest Singers.


1--WE have heard today the finest

verdict of DR.. Turpin, the great En-
glish composer after hearing the Noun
tain Ash Male chorus in one of their
popular concerts in London. Il have
heard the best choirs in the world,
Belgian, German, France and :Italian,
but the work of the Mountain Ash
Male Chorus .eclipses them all" de-
clared his Royal Highness, the Land
grave of Hess. Recently they appear
ed in Rome N. Y, and the Sentinel says
of them as follows: "The ensemble
work of the ..chorus is grand. There is
a perfect harmony and unison, wealth
of power and expression while one of
the most appre ciated features of their
singing is the excellent enunciation
which characterizes their every selec-
ton. 1t mattered not whether it was
the grand swell victorious song or the
tender passage of a lullaby, the words
were rendered plainly and distinct y.
Added to these qualities is great dra-
matte ability, which in number of
instances was most wonderfully dis
played.
