Lundeen Challenged

p. J. Slettedahl of Wood Lake has
challenged former Congressman Lun-
deem to a public debate on the ques1
ton Resolved that the United States
was juAsified in entering the war
against Germany. The challenge ap-
peared in the Minneapolis Journal
under the date Of November 18. Mr..
Slettedahl gives as the reason for his
challenge the fact the Lundeen made
several statements while a. Wood
Lake to the effect that the United
States was not justified in entering
the world war against Germany. Mr.
Slettedahl's contention IS that the
United States could do nothing else
and maintain her world position as
the champion Of democracy, and thai
since Germany not only threatenec
the European governments but thai
Of the United States as well, the waE
ii Europe was our war also. Inc

The work Of preliminary survey on
county ditch No. 81, known as the
Sleepy Eye creek drainage system will
soon be completed This drainage
proposition, according to G. p. Smith,
engineer in charge Of .l1e work, is the
largest IN any one county in the corn
belt, as the watershed aected by the
construction Of the system embraces
&c, 900 acres, And these 10000 acres
are not JUS so many acres of land
but the. district takes in some of the
very finest farming land in Southern
Minnes0ta The improvement, nalur-
ally, VIII add to the productiveness :
and to the value Of the holdings.
When the size Of the project is tax
en- into consideration and It IS re-
lmembered that tfe whole is within
/ the borders of one county the import,
ance Of the Improvement carries with
| i. degree Of distinction for the peo-
pie Of Redwood county.
Mr.. Smith IS at the head of par
lty of engineers who have been max
ling their headquarters at Lan1berton
| for the past several weeks and an0th-
er party Of men who are working out
of Lucan. The laying out OF the main
and lateral bitches is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible.
The construction of the system viii
require about two years work The
main open ditch will be about twenty
miles in length, extending from q
point between Lucan and MilrOy to
an outlet into the present channel OF
the Sleepy Eye creek north Of Wanda
The lateral open bitches and tile lines
will have total mileage ten times as
greas as the main ditch, so it is readit
| " to be seen that the drainage sys-
| tenn is a most comprehensive one.
The excavation will considerably
exceed 1000. 900 cubic yards.
The county drainage authorities
may find it necessary to extend the
main ditch several miles beyond the
outlet named in the petition as some
Opposition to emptying at this polns
! has developed. In that event the ter
ritory several miles north and east Oi
| WabassO might be included thus af.
fording excellent drainage facilities tt
another large area of wet land.
Mr.. Smith is known as a thoroughly
competent engineer and comes from
Estherville, Iowa. Iowa is a pioneer
] in drainage, work. The value of tbs
LAND in that state has risen to a high
point. d great share of the enhanced
value coming from the reclaiming am

Dance is Success

The Farrell and Keefe dance ten
dered by the members of the. firm to
their many friends Monday evening
was d decided success. The large new
building on Mill street was crowded
both upstairs and down and if anyone
failed to have good time it was GER
tainly not the fault of the hosts. Music
for 4he occasion was furnished by the
Dream Orchestra and was very favor
ably commented upon. The dance
served as house warming for the new
store building and certainly If the
number Of the friends who gathered
formed any estimate Of the warmth
felt for the firm throughout the com
munity, the new building should have
absorbed sufficient warming to last
It for the next several years.
