Made Possible by Court'a Decision.


Special to Times Republican.
Logan. Oct. e4.-By the decision Of
the supreme court of Iowa, Of which
notice was received here today. the
completion of the Soldier river engin
eering project is made possible. The
Soldier river drainage district en-
braces $4,000 acres OF land too wet for
cultivation. but unsurpassed for fer
tility OF soil. The district has been in
litigation during the seven years passed
with every project proposed by the
engineers as a result of typographical
surveys costing hundreds Of dollars;
the present project is the first to win out
thru the fiery ordeais. Tho the upland
farmers have made their lands pay
from se5 To $50 and S75 and in ex-
ceptional cases in small tracts from
So to 500 per acre. and tho the low.
land owners have lost all or much of
their crops each year during the seven
Years past, yet they have kept on fight
ing with a determination worthy of q
better cause.
The present project contemplates the
diversion of the Soldier river where
the stream strikes The Missouri bottoms
on leaving the hills. and running
southwest to Round lake and thence
thru Round and Dry lakes to the Mis-
souri, river distance OF 6s miles
and costing for the diversion channel
$4,000. About $4,000 will also be
spent in laterals and the construction
OF levees around the lakes thru which
the main channel Will run.

be noted that Mrs. Upson's birds vie with
the best in tho world. Another silver
cup won at this show was for the best
Black Orpington cockerel exhibited by a
lady.
In regard to her prize winnings at a
recent show the Knoxville Sentinel has
the following:
"A beautiful pen at the Appalachian
exposition was the magnificent display
of Black Orpingtons of Mrs. Louise l..
Epson, Athens. Ga. This splendid ar
ray OF handsome birds won second best
display at the show and the beauty of
this pen won ordinations of praise and
admiration of one who passed. Mrs. Epson
is a bright vivacious little woman and a
continuous crowd of callers greatly enjoy
ed her intelligent and untiring discourse
on culture of prize birds. Splendid things
are in store for Orpington Grove, the
home of the famous pen of Black Orping-
tons and no doubt the demand for stock
and eggs for the coming season will be
great"
On passing from the home grounds to
the adjoining plot where are the birds
and the beautiful prize grove. the first
thing to attract attention is the neat
ness, the artistic arrangement The
plant is bordered with a privet hedge
and the chicks are all in the shade of the
foliage.
DESCRIPTION OF BIRDS. et
In the pens were the White. the Bun
and the Black Orpingtons. all large. Of
the purest strain. with beautiful shapes
and fine piumage.
1t is a beautiful sight to see the
young chicks in their different pens, the
Whites to themselves. and the Buffs and
the Blacks to themselves.
A number of little chicks, unlike the
others In color playing around the brood
ers, gave evidence Of little secret OF
the grove" Having received a large
number of demands for Diamond Jubilee
Orpingtons Mrs. Epson decided to add
this fourth strain to the Orpingtons on
her farm. and consequently next season
there will be four varieties of the Orping-
ton family on the place. Incubators were
set with the very best eggs procurable
from this strain. which will probably
form an important portion of the farm
in the future.

SUICIDE PACK KEPT
BY TWO YOUNG GIRLS

RIDGwAY. ILL.,. June PA suicide
pact between two girls was carried out
today when Jessie Cabbman. II years
old, and Lucy Davidson, aged is years,
drank carbolic acid.
The Cabbman girl had quarreled with
her parents and was living with Miss
Davidson. Fearing that the formers
parents would seek to recover her, the
girls agreed that in such an event they
would die together. The poison was Sc
creted in their bedroom in separate
glasses.
Today a constable called for Jessie. She
asked for time to dress, but instead went
to her room and drank the acid. She
then returned to the parlor and told
what she had done. A moment later her
friend also drank the poison. Both ex-
pired within few minutes.

ATHENS, Ca, June 24.-At her beauti-
full home on Prince avenue. not far
from the State Normal school, is located
.'Orpington Grove" where Mrs. Louisa
L. Epson has raised many prize. winners
Bun, Black and White Orpingtons. In
numbers OF poultry shows the last season
her exhibits were easy prize winners and
were admired by all visitors.
Six years ago Mrs. Epson became In
terested in the raising OF fine birds, and
her first efforts were with the Buff Or
pingtons From the start she has been
most successful, and she is today the
recognized authority in. this section on
all matters pertaining to poultry. It Is
almost a daily occurrence for some Wis
itors to make inquiry in regard to the
successful handling OF the Orpingtons.
Mrs. Epson engages in this work pure
iy as a matter of pleasure, her husband
being one Of Athens leading lawyers and
successful business men. And while she
greatly enjoys the work necessarily at
tached TO the venture, it in no wise inter-
teres with her social obligations.
She is possessed Of abundant energy,
and in the care of her fowls has only
the assistance of the servants about the
house.
She also finds time to conduct a poul-
and each week her columns in that pa
per are carefully read by those interested
in poultry raising. BY her timely and
able articles on the subject she has arous-
ed much interest in poultry matters
among people who. until her articles APP
peared, apparently evinced little interest
IN the subject.
HAS WON MANY RIBBONS.
While Mrs. Epson has a large number
of ribbons, won at various shows
throughout the south (she has never en-
tered a single exhibit without gaining
some OF the prizes), she values nothing
more highly than the William Cook &
Son cup. This handsome silver prize Mrs.
Upson won at an exhibit in Philadelphia
with her S. c. Black Orpington cockerel.
The cup is OF unusually beautiful design
and was awarded by the "originators OF
all the Black Orpingtons" for the best
Black Orpington cockerel at the largest
class ever exhibited in America. On ac-
count OF the scope of the show, which
embraced the whole United States, II can

ington is all that could be desired, of a
black vivid green and no purple; and
while in the white was the size, and
heavy leg bone and the markings of the
Buff were perfect; yet no one of the
three varieties excelled the other, as all
Of them were prize winners at the vart-
Gus shows last season. The male birds
at head of Buff pens were remarkable
for their type, color and size. In pen
where there is a most beautiful imported
White Orpington male bird, most notice
able was the heavy leg bone, a quality
most desired. Anoher joint noticeable
was the successful brooding up to heavy
weights in the Whites.
HAS THIRTEEN RUNS.
Mrs. Upson now has 10 runs, but the
demand is so great for her birds that
next season she expects to increase the
number to %, and will carry her runs
farther into the pine grove. This grove
is a most beautiful spot, and in addition
to furnishing scratching gravel and
shade, Mrs. Upson finds the pine needles
most useful in keeping off the insects,
and furnishes straw for scratchings for
the winter. The grove" now presents a
beautiful green surface, as by planting
orchard grass and red clover she has
succeeded in getting luxurious growth
that lasts until near Christmas.
The heahhfulness of the birds is won
derful, as there are seldom any sick or
puny chickens on thez big farm Yet
this is easily explained. Their coops
and pens are always neat, clean and
protected from the rays of the sun,
while special attention is given to plenty
of fresh water and care taken in the
food. The fowls are always given
hearty supper and go to most with full
crops. This is regarded as essential to
their health.
Last season Mrs. Epson sold a num-
Der of trios and pens and the demand
for eggs far exceeded the supply. Al
hearty supper and go to roost with full
show birds for next season, not only
from this, but other states.
In passing through the grounds one
could not but notice the gentleness Of
the birds, and their healthfulness. In
addition to the Orpingtons, Mrs Epson
has the mammoth White PelSin and In
dian Runner Ducks for pleasure and
the home.
