Clark county has an increasing sys-

system includes the Mississippi, the
Des Moines, Fox river, Wyaconda,

Creek, and a number of smaller
streams. Artificial channels include
two across our valley, the Wyaconda
drainage canal. and large canal
along the North Fabius In the extreme
southwest corner of the county. The
canals along the Wyaconda and Fabius
Iare chiefly for the relief of flood tide
waters which are held back by large
drifts and by the long curves in the
channels. In time all the counties
along the smaller streams will join
i'm these enterprises of relief canals,
and much benefit will result.

83 from Crokston, in which city he
a purchased a ticket to Grand Rap
Ids, Mimi, but by mistake, boarded
the wrong train and came to Grand
Forks. His acts on the train, while
mo violent, convinced the conductor
that he was not in his right mind
and he phoned from Fisher, request
ing that an officer be sent to meet the
man and to see that he got properly
started for Crookston.
Herrick was detailed to go to the
station and accompanied the man
from the depot to a. restaurant; where
he ate supper. He ten took him to
the city Jail and with Officer Mahon,
who was at the desk at h time, plac-
ed him in a cell, intending to keep
him there until about 10 o'clock, at
which time it was planned to send him
back to Crookston. Johnson was
searched and all of his personal be-
longings, including a pocketknife and
his money, were placed in a vault. He
requested, however, and was allowed
to carry his "tussock," or packsack
