Attorney Middleton received a let
ter this week from J. L. George, tho
county auditor, in which he says,
that he had just returned from St.
Paul where he had seen number of
the state officials, and had secured
definite promises from Mr.. Iverson,
the state auditor that the state would
take the bonds and furnish the mon
ey for the construction of judicial
bitches No. 6, and Is. Ditch No. 6,
as projected, will be eleven miles
long and extends north from Will
liams. Ditch No. will be a lieel
over four miles long, and connects
with the ditch now constructed from
Baudette to a point about three and
one-half miles southwest, and extends
south distance of four miles farther
to the north branch o fine Baudette
River. Ditch No. 10 will extend from
the Rainy River south along the
range line between ranges 20 and 80
distance of about twenty miles.
These three bitches will give access
to some of the very best lands in the
northern part of the county, and as
the earth excavated in making the
bitches will be used in building good
roads the full length of the bitches,
it is readily seen how important it is
that there should be no delay in their
constructions Region.
