FLOATING

NEEDED
Magnitude of Cass County
Drainage Project Shown
by This Fact
REQUIRED ON LEECH DRAIN
Canal to be Enlarged, in Ad-
dition to Building Three
New Main bitches

The southern Cass county drainage
project, a meeting to consider which
was recently held at Davenport. and
petitions for which are now being cir
culated in the district to be benefited.
is the largest drainage undertaking
ever put up to the people of the coun-
ty, although CaSS county has at the
present time several hundred miles
Of drainage bitches.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
contemplated work can be gained
from the fact that on the largest
ditch it will be necessary to use float
ing dredges. This will be the case
Of the present Leech drain, which. ac-
cording to the plan. will be enlarged
and heightened.
In speaking of the proposed drain
age system this morning, County Sur
Veyor Samuel E. Crabbe stated that
the southwest portion Of the area to
be drained by the system will be car
ed for by three new drains, extending
from the sand hills near the south
county line directly north into the
Maple river.
These drains will intercept a large
amount of water which formerly
drained into the Leech drain north of
Davenport said Mr.. Crabbe. These
drains will not only drain the area
where they are located but will act as
interceptlng drains also.
The LeeCh drain will be extended
from its present source. south to the
county line near Kindred and north
into the Maple river and along it's en-
tire length it will be widened and
deepened. 1t is the intention to con-
struct these drains in such a manner
as to make them adequate under all
conditions.
There will also be several lateral
bitches constructed into the Leech
drain, through which all low places
and sloughs will be drained into the
main ditch.
THE construction work on the
Leech drain will be Of such a magni-
tude as to require the use of float
ing dredges for excavating. while the
work on all the smaller bitches will be
done with what is known as dry land

MADERO
TO FIGHT FOR
MEXICAN LAND

Kansas City. Aug. 1S.-A step pre-
lininary to an appeal to the state de-
partment to institute negotiations with
the de facto government of Mexico to
obtain for a 11-year old Mexican boy
a share in the vast Madero estate in
Coahuila, Mex, was taken in the pro-
bate court here.
Mrs. Elizabeth K. v. Madero, widow
of cousin of Francisco Madero, the
former Mexican president, was ap-
pointed guardian today for her son,
H. w. v. Madero. Mrs. Madero said
the action was taken so she could rep
resent him legally in efforts to obtain
his share of the family property.
The estate consists Of about one
half a million acres of land, according
to Mrs. Madero and is now held by the
Carranza government. The boys father
was killed in Mexico about the time
Madero was assassinated. Mrs. Ma
dero and her son have lived here near
1y a year.
Mexico City, Aug. 1S.-General Car
rama will soon issue a decree estab-
fishing a criterion for determining
which of the properties conflscated by
the government shall be returned to
the owners and which shall be finally
taken over by the government.
The standard will be based upon
the varying DEGREES Of the political or
commercial activity Of the owners

ity of the highest leaders, such as Gen
erals Huerta, Diaz and Mondragon, be-
ing considered such as to make the
chances of their property reverting to
them or their heirs absolutely neglig-
ible. ....
Properties of persons Of no great
political responsibility are being re-
turned, among such properties being
those of Sofia Romero Rubio Elisaga,
sister-in law of the late Porfirio Diaz.
