Unanimous for Big Drain.

Perry, Mich, Jan. 21.-A joint meet
ing of county drain commissioners. A.
Griffin of Shiawassee, l.. F. Green of
Clinton, E. J. Doan of Ingham and A.
Grieves of Livingston, was held in the
Perry township hall, Jan. 1S.
A large number of people were pres
emit to hear the matter discussed and a
large portion of them were taxpayers
and men interested in the drain. The
matter for discussion was the improv'
ing of the Looking Glass river. The
drain starts four miles south Of the
county line in Livingston county near
the village of Nicholson. and ends in
Clinton county near the village of
Wsucousta, making a total length of
said drain about so miles, and which is
one of the largest drain projects now
being discussed in the entire state. A
number of prominent men of the var.
ious townships were present and gave
short talks. there being practically no
objection to the proposition Of letting
the drain. Lucine Scribner of Ban.
croft, who was the real originator of
the proposed drain, was present and
gave some we'll chosen remarks in re.
gard to the benefits to be derived by
having this proposed drain carried out.
Supervisors Kinsler of Antrim and
Clark of Perry. also made short talks,
and T. M. Euler of Owosso From the
outcome of the meeting there seems
little likelihood of the drain not going
through, and as the matter is now up
to the four drain commissioners, and
as there seems to be no objections, 1t
undoubtedly will be carried ont and
surveying will commence right away.
The drain will probably be let in three
sections to large dredge companies, and
the total cost of this drain will prob
ably figure around $3.50, 900. and about
1870, 600 acres Of land will be benefited
by the drain. Our popular drain com
missioner of Shiawsssee county, Alonzo
Griffin, acted as chairman and and
handled the affairs of the meeting in a
very satisfactory manner. Mr.. Griffin
has made an ideal drain commissioner;
he is q man we'll qualified for the work,
is well liked by all, and here's hoping
that he remains on the job and is re-
turned by the county electors next
election as Shiawsssee's efficient, worthy
and we'll qualified drain commissioner.

between frankie Tucker and frankie
Sanders was the last on the card,
and it proved to be interesting to
all but Sanders. Tucker had his op-

no time did Sanders have a look-in, |
and the remarkable part of the whole |
performance is that Tucker did not |
slip the sleep producer to him. |
Young Tucker is matched with some |
