Drainage Hearing
Important Event
representatives From Large Section
Will Be AT Thief River Falls
On Nov. !.

Hearing on petition for the forma-
ton Of q. drainage district embracing
the watershed Of the Red Lake river
and tributaries will be held in Thief
River Falls on Friday, Nov. Z. The
hearing will take place at the court
house and will be before Judge Andrew
Grind Gland OF Warren, and Judge C. w.
Stanton; Of Bemidji. ..s E.
This call Is the result Of petition
presented to the two judges asking that
the entire section be embraced In one
ydrainag district under the Cliff law OF
1917 and is the outcome of prelimin-
ary meeting held on July %. At that
time representatives. from practically
every township in the northwestern
counties of the state were present and
took the steps necessary for the forma-
.tion Of such district. Petitions were
circulated in all counties and these
were later submitted to the two judges,
who set the date Of hearing for Nov.
Z, and named Thief River Falls as the
place, that being the most conveniently
located point for the gathering.
This will be the most important event
in any way connected with drainage
ever held in the state. The movement
was started last summer iimmedi diately
after the disastrous floods had destroy
ed considerable crop area and has
been pushed with deterlninat tion since
that time.
While this is only step toward the
ultimate carrying out of vast plan. it
is an important step aud the expecta-
9tion is that there will be a large repre-,
sentation OF farmers present.

Some Excuse for BacIcwoodsman'
Story When He First Saw the
Steamboat Armenia.

Competition for passenger trade
among steamboat companies on the
Hudson river in the early days of
steam navigation went so far some
times that it defeated its own ends
and was somewhat amusing in the
retrospect. Such was the case with
the Armenia, one of the first boats
built which was fast enough to make
most of the trip from New York to
Albany by daylight. This was for the
purpose Of attracting passengers who
wished to view the beautiful river
scenery, but for fear that scenery alone
would pail on the passengers, the own
ers also installed a steam calliope. The
calliope was simply series OF steam
whistles pitched in various keys of
sufficient number TO play simple tunes
The Armenia was considered some
thing remarkable when she first mp
peared. as indeed she was. The de-
mand on her boilers for steam to blow
the calliope whistles was so great.
however, that the expense Of furnish
ing the passengers with steam tunes
as wen as speedy transportation was
more than the owners could afford.
The story is told of a Catskill back
woodsman. who. while visiting a river
town for the first time. saw the Ar

Hanging in Balance.

Synopsis - Geoffry Carlyle,
master of sailing ships at TWEEN
ty-slX, is sentenced TO 20 years
seryitude In the American col
onies for participation in the
Monmouth rebellion in England.
Among the passengers, on board
the ship on which he is sent
across are Roger Fairfax,
wealthy Maryland planter; his
niece. Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu
tenant Sanchez, a Spaniard, who
became acquainted with the Fair
faxes IN London. Carlyle meets
Dorothy, who informs him her
uncle has bought his services.
Sanchez shows himself an enemy
of Carlyle. The Fairfax party,
now on ats own sloop in the
Chesapeake bay. encounters a
mysterious bark, the Namur of
Rotterdam. Carlyle discovers
that Sanchez is "Black Sanchez"
planning to steal the Fairfax
gold and abduct Dorothy. He
fights Sanchez and leaves him
for dead. In a battle with
Sanchez followers, however, he
is overpowered and thrown into
the bay. In a desperate effort
to save Dorothy, Carlyle decides
to swim to the Namur. By a
ruse he gets aboard and min
giles with the crew.
