Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 17-Members of
the state executive council have visited
the site of the proposed drainage OF
Trumbull lake and Rush lake In the
northwestern lake region and report
that conditions found there are some
what different from that which has
been suggested in some places.
Rush lake seems to be little else
that big pond The people living
nearby do not want to buy land or to
have anything to do with it, but they
ask that the pond be drained, saying
that 1T is only breeding place for
blackbirds and an injury to all the
surrounding country. There are about
500 acres in the pond, but it influences
adversely a large tract of land all
round.
rrumbull lake has about $50 acres OF
shallow water and two engineers have
reported it can be drained. 1t is not
OF itself SO Objectionable, but its exist
ence prevents the drainage OF about
30, 600 acres of land in the vicinity
An effort has been made to drain this
large tract but it was failure. 1t car
only be drained thru Trumbull lake
The simple problem is whether or moi
it is worth while to save body OF
$50 acres of shallow water at the ex-
pense Of riuing 10000 acres Of LAND
that would otherwise be quite useful
Good Lake Nearby.
AS far as keeping this lake for lake
purposes is concerned it is pointed on,
that the beautiful Lost Island lake
which is a real lake, and very much
larger is only four miles away. anc
there never viii be any thought OF
draining it. There Is no opposition neal

TO SUBMIT JONES CASE.
Dispositions Taken For Presentation to

Des Moines, Nov. 1.-THE necessary
dispositions have been taken in the
case involving the regularity Of pro-
ceedings by which Earl Jones was
sentenced to prison from Adams coun-
ty, and the case is therefore about
ready to be submitted to the supreme
court The only purpose in taking tes-
timony by a commissioner was to es-
tablish just what was done at the time
that Jones was sentenced. 1t is claimed
by attorneys for Jones that the whole
proceeding was irregular and that he
was in fact "railroaded" to prison with
out any proper consideration of his
rights. If the court decides that this
is the case it will not be necessary to
consider the attack on the grand jury
law.
