THE PROPOSED
WOOD COUNTY
DRAINAGE DIS 7.

From articles in the Pittsyille and
Necedah Republican that come to our
attention it would seem that there
is much misapprehension about the
Wood County Drainage District, now
being organized in Wood county. We
have interviewed several persons who
know the location of this proposed
district and are familiar with the
records to be examined and here pre-
sent the facts as they appear to us.
This proposed district covers about
seven thousand two hundred acres
lying west and southwest of the City
Of Grand Rapids, and north of the
village of Nekoosa. The PittsVille
is the district being drained by F.
P. HiIes Mr. HiIes' contract is to
drain the Kert Creek Drainage Dis
trict and the latter district does not
and will not drain to the Yellow
river, but, drains through Kert Creek
into the east fork of the Black river.
So much for the first error that
has scared our Necedah friends.
Now, as to the second error.-The
proposed Wood County Drainage Dis
trict is not turning water" and Will
not turn water toward Necedah or
the town of Armenia that otherwise
would not go that way. The old set
tiers in the vicinity Of the proposed
Wood County Drainage District tell
us that the waters from this district
have always flowed to Cranberry
Greek. That creek has always been
the outlet for those waters. And the
civil engineer's levels of this district
also show that the slope of all of
that territory is southwesterly to the
Gran berry Creek.
The proposed new district is flat,
without hills around it, except that
"B'ueberry Ridge" a. narrow ridge
OF high land. touches it on the north
We are informed by those who are
familiar with the drainage OF such
flat tracts that after they are drain

Stevens Point Wis, April 25, 113.
IF the permanent results are as
satisfactory as the treatment is a
a remarkable advance in the treat
ment of joint tuberculosis, said Dr.
Thos- H. Hay, medical director of the
River Pines sanatorium of this city,
upon his return last evening from
New York city, where he has been al
tending the government investigation
of the Friedman 'cure" for the past
seven weeks, but what its effect viii
be in the treatment of the pulmonary
by far the commonest type of the dis
ease, is yet to be seen, for results
to date have been very indefinite
During his extended stay Dr. Hay
was unusually fortunate in gaining
access to the clinics of which the
treatments were administered, and to
the hospitals where the patients are
being held under observation. He
also became We'll acquainted with DR..
Friedrich Franz Friedman, the dis
coverer Of the treatment.
In a statement given out last night
DR.. Hay said: Il have prolonged my
stay in New York for some weeks
longer than. originally intended in the
hope that l might secure a supply of
the friedman vaccine, or at any rate
that the cases under treatment might
show some pronounced symptoms on
which to base definite conclusion
Of the value of the treatment. So
far as the former is concerned, it is
now certain that none of the vaccine
will be given out for general use or
the formula for its manufacture re-
leased, until after the government
final report, or until DR.. friedman
has succeeded in disposing of the
manufacturing rights on a basis sat
isfactory to himself. The whole mat
ter is practically at a standstll
awaiting the action of the govern
ment officials.

with the vaccine just six weeks ago,
and while this is far too short a tim1
to establish definite conclusion,
is sufficient to dispel the belief tha

ed they are far less subject to floods
than before they were drained The
water falling ON them, instead Of
rushing off with a flood, in the spring
or in very wet seasons. as it does
now, sinks into the dry drained
earth and reaches the bitches slow
ly causing a more uniform flow of
the outlet streams than the flow of
those streams was before the drain
age.
We have had two very wet sea-
sons in succession. The result has
been that even high lands have been
too wet for use, and our streams botl
large and small have been higher
than on average years. That in a
great measure accounts for the exces
sive wetness of the lands in the
town Of Armenia
As the new district is turning no
water that way, that does not natur-
ally flow that way, we do not see
how the Necedah or Armenia people
are likely TO be injured by the pro-
jected drainage. That the project
ed work will change several thousand
acres of land, which now produce only
a poor grade of marsh hay, into coed
farm lands is claimed by the pro-
jectors of the new district. 1t seems
to us that the Armenia and Necdeah
people, before they put their good
money into an expensive lawsuit
would better investigate more fully.
We are quite confident that they will
find that the new proposed drainage
will help rather than hurt them.

COMING FROM
FLOOD BELT
Ohio Farmers Looking to North.
ern Wisconsin.

"One result and an unexpected one,
OF the floods in Ohio said Ira R.
Bush, assistant manager of the Wis
consin Advancement association, wi
be heavy immi grafton from that
portion of the country to northern
Wisconsin Immediately after the
flood subsided, We noticed in our
daily mail in the association a con-
tinually increasing number OF inquir-
les from farmers in Ohio who were
seeking information regarding north
in that section We have since made
tabulation Of the points they came
from and found that practically every
one of these inquiries was includ
ed in the flood belt.
THE indication from the inquiri es
is that a large number of thesepeo-
pie will take up lands in northern
Wisconsin. 1t is just the country to
appeal to them and they will never
be troubled with floods 4 pleasing
factor lis that they are a very high
grade Intelligent class CT farmers.
The fact also indicates an awakened,
interest and wider knowledge of the
advantages of northern Wisconsin.
When these people bethought them
selves of moving from Ohio, their
first thought was of Wisconsin. In
fact the whole movement of immi gra-
tiOn and settlement is showing a. ten
dency to the rain belt states and
Wisconsin, is the greatest of all Of
them. From the number of inquiri es
we are receiving and the Widee inter,
est shown, ! am convinced that upper
Wisconsin is on the eve OF an era
of development that will astonish the
most sanguine.
