FARMERS IN HAMILTON COUNTY
TO BUILD OWN DRAINAGE
DITCH.
EXPENSE OF PRELimINAR,Es
WILL BE ELIMINATED
Organize Company Among Them selves
and Will Award contraet-Ditet TO
Be Two Miles in Length and Drain
Some Of Best Farms in County
Other News Of the State.

, Webster City, Feb. .21.-Some of the
farmers Of Marion township have the
right idea of building a drainage ditch
at a minimum cost. They have organ
lied a company and will let the con-
tract themselves. In this way they
will cut out the cost of the board OF
supervisors. the printing, etc, and can
let the work to whom they please.
The saving will no doubt be con-
siderable. The company is composed Of
Oliver Sealine. Albert Felleson, J. f.
Gustafson. Charles Ristrim, ALT Ris-
trim, Len Johnson, c. G. Peterson, John
Chapman. August Carlson, Andrew
Lindauist, Gust Brandt and few 9th
ers. The outlet will be near the c. G.
Peterson place into an old creek and
the main line of the ditch will run
In northWesterly course to point
near the home of Mr.. Gustafson or at
the farm formerly known as the Olund
place. One branch will enter the main
at a point near the outlet and go thru
the ALI Ristrim farm to the August
Carlson farm. Another branch will be
run southwest thru the Charles Ris-
trim place and Len Johnson farm and
up to the fence on the Brandt farm
The ditch will be about two miles in
length. When completed it will drain
some of the finest farms in the neigh
borhood and will add materially to the
value of every one of them.
