Gooseneck Bend is Cut or.

Last Friday saw the completion OF
the initial drainage channel on Wei
don River in Morgan township, Deca-
tur county, cutting off the famous
"Gooseneck Bend" west of the Morris
bridge. This section of the ditch be-
gins at the south bank of the river
opposite the end of the channel COM
pleted by Messrs. Bowsher, WATSON,
and Keller and runs along the line
between Keller and Frank Shockey
nearly a quarter of a mile south,
where it intersects deep ditch lead
ing almost directly to the river in
the course desired. With the finishing
of this section about three-quarters
of a mile of the ditch in all has been
completed through which water VIII
flow whenever rise brings the wat
err in the natural channel to some
thing like twO-thirds full and the
completion of the ditch by the pro-
cess OF washing out in such instances
are confidently depended upon by It's
promoters The surveyors blue
print shows the usual decline OF ten
feet to the mile in this section OF the
river, which will greatly hasten ana
facilitate this great labor saving pro-
cess. The three-fourths of mile OF
the channel completed, roughly estl-
mated, will expedite the receding OF
water in case of an overflow, by saw
ing it a distance of nearly four miles
in it's travel; less than if compelled
to follow the crooks and bends OF the
natural channel. Such excellent pro-
gress has been made in the work
that J. r.. BoWsher and Y. B. WATSON
have decided to continue in extend
ing the ditch northward along the
line between their farms and a force
of men and teams will begin next
week and continue as long as the
