TO- DRAIN The VALLEY
LANDS
Indiana Capitalists Interested
in Reclamation of
Swamps

Through the efforts of F. A
DeClark, Indiana capitalists and
contractors have become interested
in the proposition to reclaim the
low and swampy lands in the val
ley between Emmett and Falks and
have signified their intention to
make an investigation at an early
date with a view of reclaiming these
lands.
There are 10000 or more acres
of swamp land between Freezeout
hill and Falks. Practically every
foot of it was at one time good
farming land. The bouHtiful sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes
which this valley enjoys has led
farmers to use too much water.
AS result lowlands are flooded and
have been made worthless. A
drainage ditch, with it's feeders,
would reclaim these lands and
make of them fertile and productive
farms instead of being the habita-
lions of frogs, muskTats and ducks.
With a family upon every 40
acres of this land it would, mean
an increase of 500 families to
Emmett's trade territory.
The gentlemen interested in the
are now putting the
touches to large drain
age project in Indiana. They are
we'll equipped with dredges and
other necessary machinery. and If
hey conclude to take up the
work will be able to start opera
iors at once. They have re-
lueated Mr.. DeClark to forward
| map of the district and other
lata, which he complied with this
week. Their decision will be
waited with much interest by En-
nett people, as the reclamation
f these lands will mean added
to this town and Sec
ion.
