ject. Mr.. Jameson states that thus
! far the matter J. has never been
brought before the Wright county
board Of supervisors and that should
1T be the board would probably ap-
pointsa disinterested board Of ap-
praisers togo over .the ground to de-
termine whether or not the land is
worth jthe expense Of draining. He
is Of the opinion that few Of the
owners of the land affected would
favor the drainage of the lake. In
case the lake is drained the territory
draining into the lake and reaching
to the Boone river will be thrown
into an inter-county drainage dis
trict, and the cost of draining the
lake charged up to the abutting land
owners.
Mr.. Jameson states that as an
abuting land owner he will oppose
the matter Of draining the lake. He
owns great deal OF land around the
lake, and says his share of the ex-
peIlse would be more than the land
Is worth.

1t Is eminently just and befitting
that those who are living and knew
them best should pay just and af-
fectionate tribute to those who are
summoned from the busy activities
OF life to the untimely -and speech
less silence OF the grave. While vet
in love with life and enraptured

ed to silence and pathetic dust.
In the death OF w. H. Omstead
Ridgely Encampment, I. o. o. F..

because in it the world has lost

But 1t is both natural and proper
that We, his brother Odd Fellows,
should express to the widow and to
Others who We're near and dear unto
him our profound sympathy and
commiseration. Z
Be 1t Resolved: that these expresyl
