proximately what L found in my work
in the 'Glades.
Canals Are Useless.
There is also condensed PRONE
made by the same engineer on the
whole line from Fort Myers to Pom
PIANO. This profile shows that the
country from a point 30 miles west
from Browns store, slopes towards
the 'Glades. In this 35 miles there is
some twenty feet fall towards the
'GIades There is, as every one can
see. more than seven times the fall
per mile in this thirty-five miles than
there is per mile after striking the
'CIades. The country at this point is
more than 10 miles wide-that is, the
part to be drained. / have gone INTO
this supbject as thoroughly as possible
at this time. and find that there IS
moro than 100000 acres of surface

/ through which they are being dug In
other words more than 1O,OOOOOO
acres to be drained. By what? Ine
bitches and canals already contracted

| will be like the canal at Fort Thomp-
| son. The state will have to erect IRON
posts, with pointers on the highest
| noints along the banks of the canals,
to show where the canals are IN a
regular rainy season. The fall Of the
.GIades towards the head Of the Hills
| borough, Miami and New Rivers is less
| than four inches per mile lis this all
gradual or like that at Jupiter, all IN
the last five miIes) We will assume
! that this fall is gradual and is enough

! face Of Lake Okeechobee is more than
seven feet higher than 80 per cent OF
the country lying between the edge OF
the Fverglad es and the ocean and eX-
tending from Jupiter, IN Palm Beach
| county to Detroit, in Dade county, a
/ distance of over one hundred miles.
The drainage engineers, to my knowl-
edge. have not as yet planned to make
any new openigs to tidewater, but have
advised the digging Of canals all run
ming to the east coast, three OF Whlcn
empty into small crooked rivers, run
ming from the edge Of the Everglades
to the ocean, with very shallow
mouths. all of which I have seen
closed. with the exception OF the Miami
, river. These streams in an ordinary
rainy season will overflow their banks
, excepting at very high points, and this
, before there were any canals dug int
them.
Vast Volume of Water.
ssThe fourth canal enters into Lake
Worth. some ten or twelve miles from
an outlet to the ocean, which outlet
; have also seen closed. Now, all tbs

NO CRIMINAL ACTION
Justified in Case of Infant, Who Died
of hamilton.

Burlington, July 22.-The report of
Dr. B. Fl. Stone of the autopsy per-
formed by him on the body of the name
less baby which was sent by Mrs. Edna
j. Munson to 0verseer of the Poor De-
laney, was given out yesterday by
States Attorney Hopkins. The report
states that the infant died of insnition.
The examination showed the body was
not diseased. although emaciated, and
there was no evidence of food in the
stomach or intestines.
In connection with the autopsy, States
Attorney Hopkins investigated the Mum
son maternity hospital and also made
inquiry into the care that had been given
the baby while it was in Mrs. Munson's
He concluded that although
everything was not as it ought to be,
there was no ground for criminal prose-
cution. The report of DIR. Stone would
indicate that the infant died from lack
of nourishment, but there was no evil
dence in the case whatsoever that would
indicate any intent to deprive the child
of what it needed, the states attorney
said. It's diet was probably not suffi-
cient. but this was undoubtedly from a
lack of proper knowledge, combined with
a desire to do the right thing by it.
The states attorney advised Mrs. Mum
son not continuing her business as
nurse.

GOVERNOR GIVES SPECIAL PRIZE.
Shows His Interest in Morgan Horses To
BE Exhibited at Vermont State Fair.

White River Junction, July 22.-In the
Morgan horse department Of the Ner-
mont state fair a special prize of $3.50
is offered by his excellency, Governor AL
len NJ. Fletcher, for Morgan stallion,
mare or gelding of any age under three
years foaled in Vermont. This prize
will be known as "The Governors spe-
eial prize"
Increased interest is being shown in
the raising of horses Of the Morgan type
in many states, including Vermont.
Where there was one Morgan horse in
the state ten years ago, there are a
dozen now, and breeders of AIorgans are
finding that there is constant market
for horses of this breed and at good
prices.
The Vermont state fair is deserving
of much credit for having reawakened
interest in the breeding OF Morgan
horses, and while it is true that the Nor
gan Horse club has done most of the
work entailed in creating this interest,
without the state fair it would have been
a more difficult task. Thousands of
horsemen and lovers of the horse have
since the state fair was organized visit
ttl bAt ffNilt ~ NtNhNoS hAN
horse exhibit, and these visits have in
many cases resulted in enlarging the
number OF breeders and owners of Nor
gans.
The Vermont state fair will fall on
earlier dates this year than has been the
custom, the dates selected being Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
Sept. l6, II, Is and 10. The exhibit
of Morgans will be larger than at any
previous event, for the reason there are
more Morgans in the country to-day to
exhibit.
The Morgan Horse club will offer espe-
cially attractive prizes, the one given
by the governor being one of many.
Secretary Davis is devoting most of
his time looking after the preliminary
arrangements and he states that the fair
will be even greater than ever in all
departments. This statement is born
out in the trotting department, much
larger number of entries having this
early been made in every class.

VOTE AGAINST BONDING.
Money for New School House Re-
fused BY Voters.

The proposition to bond the Union
School District for $34, 1000 for money
to buy two school house sites ana erect
building on one of them. was defeat
ed Friday at the special election by
vote of 254 to 175, no one but taxpayers
having been allowed to cast ballot.
Although the need of more school room
is known positively to practically every
one, many causes helped to defeat the
question. The location of the new
building made some opposition, the fact
that the school census showed but 81
more pupils than last year was also
talked, but the real cause was the vote
Of many who are against bonding for
any purpose, believing some way will
be found to give instruction to the
children Many Of these voters did not
know the real conditions as no particu-
lar effort was made to explain fully the
conditions, the board of education be-
lieving the voters would know that no
money would be asked or used except
as they found it imperative, and as it
was generally known that two portable
buildings were in use, that some schol-
ars were in school but half day this
this year because of lack of room and
that some of the teachers had as high
as fifty pupils and of course could NOT
do justice to all Many pupils are also
compelled to go long distances to school
and unless some more portable build
ings are used more scholars will have
to go farther than is reasonable from
home to obtain instruction.

wassee county, thereby ensuring greater
prosperity for all of the people of the
county. In this prosperity the banks
would share and those present pledged
their banks to meet the necessary pre-
liminsry expenditures incurred in fur
thering the plans adopted. This in line
with the work done by the bankers of
other Michigan counties, notably ALE.
gan, where through the efforts of the
bankers an agricultural expert, Chas
B Cook of Shiawassee, was engaged
and whose work is warmly commended
by the farmers of that county and
strongly endorsed by the newspapers as
being along lines which will ensure
better farming and more financial re-
turns to the farming community
