lished, and that many new school
districts organized, giving proof that
the country Is being settled.
The war has temporarily delayed
further settlement, because the
young men who are looking for op"
portunities of this kind have been
drawn from the community. But
this spring shows much improvement
already. There is not a full quarter
section of vacant land left as nearly
as can discover from the records OF
the land offices. And what Is left
is not the most desirable by any
;means.na ,. = ."'."' =! T.
- AS you say in your second para
graph, much money has been wasted
by the county in the promiscuoue
manner in which drainage has been
done, and such losses can be remedied
by the proper regulation under state
authority.
No More Damage.
AS far as the damage caused to
lower lands by the drainage Of the
lands north Of Red Lake is con-
cerned, beg to say that there should
be no further damage from this
cause, as all the surface water has
been drained off now, or at least tc
great extent, and the further
drainage will be only of the excess
fall as before drainage was COM
menced.
There is no question as the mis-.
takes of engineers. Many have been
made, and many have been corrected
Beltrami county has paused in the
matter of drainage. No new bitches
have been established for three
years. And while petitions for sew
eral large systems have been filed ir
the district court, they are being
held for the very reasons suggested
by you. And I, and all other sane
business men of this county, believe
with you that the proper system
would be state control.
But we good citizens of Beltram
county do not like to have it init
mated that the county is bankrupt
or that our bonds are delinquent, Of
that the drainage already done hal
not done lone cent worth of benefi
to the lands Drained" because sucl
is not the fact.
| I take great interest In the matter
because for the past eight years
have been the auditor Of Beltram
county, and while not responsible
for the bitches in any way, hav
worked hard to keep the f1nancia
standing of the county above par
even with the great indebtednes
caused by drainage.
Trusting you will accept this lette
in good part, and remedy the dis
trust which may have been cause
by your statment SO far as you car
l remain. very truly yours.

Geneva. On August 10, 1886, Geneva
formally adopted Professionalism.
A year later, John Calvin, a refugee
from France, stopped at Geneva, in
tending to remain there only one night.
Favel induced him to protract his visit.
In 1888 the opposition succeeded in
having Favel and Calvin expelled; but,
although Favel never returned. Calvin
went back in 1341, and gained such an

to set up a theocratic form of govern

PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY
Work of Protecting Immense Reser-
voirs One of the Greatest Projects
of the Kind.

Were it not for the fact that the
United States has been engaged in
the greatest OF world wars. the build
ing of the five dry reservoirs as part
of a 1oOd-preventiOn plan in the Mi
ami valley would arrest the attention
of the nation, says Howard Egbert in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Further
than that, international construction
experts would be watching the work
with considerable interest, because the
project is by far the greatest of it's
kind ever attempted in this country.
The plan, of course, is to insure per-
manent protection to the more than
100000 inhabitants living in the Miami
cOnServancy district region follow
ing closely the Miami river, an inn
portant but not navigable waterway
which threads it's way through south
ern Ohio counties. The cost is esti-
mated at $20,O0O,O0O More than 1000
men are required to complete the con-
struction work, and three years as a
minimum is the length OF time esti-
mated as necessary to carry out the
designs of the district Five huge re-
tention basins, or dry reservoirs, are
being constructed, all of them now well
under way. To construct any one of
these dams means the digging, trans
porting, depositing and compacting Of
from $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards
OF earth. For the Miami river chan
mel the estimate is 100000 cubic
yards. Dams and river together will
mean the excavation and transporta-
ton in all of some 100000 cubic
yards of earth.
The f1ood-conservancy project con-
sists of the dry-reservoir system,
which, once constructed, will occupy
five different tracts of land in the dis
trict. At unusual periods of high wa.
ter it is designed to permit all over
flow water to run into these basins.
They will be so stoutly constructed
that they cannot break under pressure
of millions of gallons Of water The
river channel, thus relieved of the ad-
ditional burden of high water, will not
be threatened, and the customary dam
ger of banks breaking or overflowing
is entirely eliminated.

Both Phoenix daily newspapers, the
Gazette and the Arizona Republican,
printed creditable special pages de-
voted to the boosting of the big San

was highly creditabe and the issue Of
the Republican was a wonderful piece
of publicity. BY carrying to q. world
wide circulation the story Of the San
Carlos, and the efforts of the people
of this valley TO get government as
distance to control the waters of the
Gila, thereby creating new acreage
under cultivation and homes for thou
sands of people, the Phoenix papers
have done a great good for the val
ley, the state, and for themselves.
Other papers in the state have helped
and their efforts are much appre-
ciated by the Florence-Casa Grande

Best Way to Stain Floor.

To stain your floor dark walnut

take a pound of burnt umber ground

color the oil, but not thicken it. Try

Rub this into the floor until the stain

The cyclone as an institution is I'M
known in Arizona, the mountains
preventing the whirling wind from
travelling very far without Interrupt
ton, but during the summer the chang

the rain clouds create baEy whirl-
winds that sometimes give good imi-

midnight, someone rolled a big storm
down into the valley of the Casa
Grande and a twister cut across this

reach it's full strength at the corner
of Sacaton and First streets, where
it demolished part of the Casa Grande

about $1,000. Other structures in it's
