55th Wedding Anniversary.

Last Tuesday evening, Feb. 2lst,
was the fifty-fifth anniversary of the
marriage of MIR. and Mrs. Ed Gillett.
who were among the pioneers of this
county and the first residents in the
east part of Cresco, and who have the
distinction of being the first couple
married in Howard County. During
the past winter. on account of Mr..
Gillett's somewhat feeble health, they
having been staying with their son-in-
law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Burgess; but last Monday they re-
turned to their own home, so a number
of relatives and old friends made up a
party to give them surprise 'house.
warming" They took with them well
filled baskets and after greetings and
cong ratulations bountiful supper wss
served. An appropriate address was
made by Mrs. Moon in the presenta-
tion of tokens of friendship and esteem,
beautiful pieces of silverware, as souv-
enirs of the occasion.
This anniversary was unique not only
because of the number of years Of
their married life, but also because
they have always kept their first home,
never making changes except to add to
the original structure. They have met
joys and SORROWS together with an
abiding faith and sympathy. ever
strengthening the bonds that united
them so many years ago.

against the mosquito that conveys the

The authorities in Louisiana have oil

quitoes were sent from Honolulu and

that is not probable.

with wet farming. Larger plans will

tourists. Every reduction made in the

photographer Martin, in response toI
a request that he. show, by actual ilg-
ures, what the loss by seepage from a.
big ditch can amount to, spent two
days in measuring the flow of water at
points reaching from the intake 20
distance of thirteen miles. The name
of the ditch is withheld for certain
reasons, but the canal is a fairly rep
resentative one of the type that were
constructed some years ago.
The ditch is an ideal one for OBJ
tanning seepage measurements, as
there is only one place below the main
intake where water enters the ditch,
and no place where it is diverted The
ditch was constructed several years
ago and consists, in large part, of
tunnel, but chiefly of open ditch. Ac-
,cording to Mr.. Martin, it was poorly
constructed in the first place and a
large part of the losses is due to
that fact. The losses in this ditch
are, undoubtedly, much greater than
in many other bitches.

"All of the bids exceeded the ap-

bidder on the storehouse.
The cabled figures on the Honolulu

GREAT WASTE
OF WATER IN
BIG DITCHES

Because of a second intake about
five miles below the main one, it was
says Mr., Martin, to make
in two sections. These
were made on different
days, and the ditch was kept at uni
form stage by several ditchmen, who
regulated the flow.
Measurements were made on the
"second-feet" basis. This is universal
nowadays, and the so many million
gallons per day" style of measuring
is obsolete.
In the ditch under observation,
losses occurred in every section of
the ditch-though it varied consider
ably for different sections. The per-
centage loss, per mile, was as high
as IL in one section, and as low as
Is in another The average loss in
the entire thirteen miles was 3.3 per
cent, per mile, and the total loss was
43 per cent
