RUSH RIVER DITCH
FLOODS MUCH Land
1T Is STATED BY LAND OWNERS
THAT FULLY 1900 ACRES OF
VALUABLE LAND IS FLOODED
IN WET SEASONS BETWEEN
HoWEs AND ARcusvILLE.

A number Of farmers along the love-,
end of Rush river between Howes ana
Argusville have complained consider
ably about the overlooking of the
drainage ditch from the Armenia dis.
trict, which 1t is said causes water To
stand on over 1880 acres of land in wet
seasons Of the year and which has
ruined number of crops.
according to r. B. Blakemore, one OF
the land owners in this district. the
water previous to the digging of the
hlg Rush river ditch. came from the
high land around and seeped down over
this cup shaped ground for period OF
TWO weeks However, this water al
ways disappeared at the end of three
or four days leaving the land clear for
the cultivation of crops. Since the
digging of the ditch in 1905 the water
has been drained from the Armenia dis
tr1ct seventeen miles away and has
come down into the lands owned by
w. a. Scott, Ole Munson, r. B. Blake
more and others, and has simply food
ed these properties, making them ut
terly worthless for cultivation. HAY
in small quantities has been produced
on the lands but not with any great
success
Mr.. Blakemore said when the
county commissioners ordered this big
ditch, they put an assessment on all
parties along it to pay for what they |.
claimed were the benefits. Seventeen
miles away at the head Of the ditch
the farmers are paying $50 per Quartet
section for their supposed benefits
while at the lower end of the ditch the
land owners are compelled to paw an
of over $500 for a quarter
section for benefits they do not re-
ceive at ALL This land formerly !.
brought into the Golfers of it's owners
$4,000 year for a quarter section and
now it is losing proposition.
THE cause of all this trouble Is that
no provision has been made for an
outlet to the ditch which causes the
water to back up and flood oye4. the
land. An opportunity will be given the
county commissioners in the near fut-
ure to straighten out this great in
Justice and the land owners who have
been hindered by the new ditch are
hoping that the commissioners will
take tsinto their hands to rectify the
ditch problem"

When Two Battleship Teams
Play.

Foot ball as played in America sorely
puzzled the London reporters who went
to the Crystal Palace on Thanksgiving
dav TO see the match between a team from
the battleship Idaho and one from the
Vermont. One writer in his description
frankly admits that 20 attempt to describe
the game in technical detail would be
beyond the powers OF any English trained
foot ball reporter.
Another calls It the fiercest thing in
games" Take, he says, two parts Graeco-
Roman wrestling, one part catch as catch
can season with a little French boxing
add ball. and serve hot. That is the
recipe for American foot ball.
F. B. Wilson, a well known writer on
sports, says: The American game Is en-
tirely different to Pbglkh rugby or assor
ciation No doubt after playing it half
a dozen times, the survivor, If he survive,
would understand the thing properly.
One thing is certain, anyway; the game is
a game for men-men as the Romans used
the distinction between real men and just
humans OF the male sex"
After the first three-quarters Kohler of
the Idaho team emerged with a bandage
round his head and others were limping,
but it did not matter, for Idaho won with
10 points to nothing. They received the
