LARGE ACREAGE BEING
RECLAIMED BY SUCCESS
OF DRAINAGE PROJECT

RIvERTON, Wyo., Oct. 4.-The
Riverton Valley drainage project
which covers some 5000 acres in
the valley is about completed. The
work began in March, 1922, and up
until this time about so per cent OF
the thing has been laid. Great
enthusiasm has been shown over
the immense success of the under
taking. Acreage where crops Of
cat tails and fox tails had been tho
only yield for several seasons. were
this veal ready to pillow and raised
fair crops. Highways which were
formerly soft because of the. seep-
age are as dry and well maintained
as the best in the state.
There was some opposition to the
proposition at first by people on
whose land there didn't seem to be
need of drainage as yet and even
some whose lands did need it, but
the alternative was offered, a fair
estimate. that within five years the
whole valley would have been
swamp with a foot of water over
the floor of 1t, SO the majority
stepped out with their optimism and
foresight and did the right thing.
Tho drainage is particularly ef-
fective n successful in this local
ity on account OF the gravel base
in which all drains are laid and be-
cause of the natural slope of the
wiley toward the Wind river. which
provided the engineers the oppor-
tunity Of making sufficient fall to
all drainage lines. The engineers
and contractors pronounce it the
most effective and satisfactory
drainage system they have ever
observed.

TWO NEAR DROWNINGS

Only for the quick presence of mind
of Preston Jamison, on Sunday, two
drownings might have been recorded
instead of the rescues.
Miss Anna Whalen, 80 245 Wilde
ST., Phila., was the first victim. Having
been in the water above Denny's wharf
for a long time, she evidently became
exhausted. Jamison noticing her strug-
giles in the water, went to her rescue.
After a desperate effort he finally
landed her upon the sands where, after
half hour, was able to be taken to her
home.
Hardly had the excitement subsidized
when Charles La Manner, 2232 Moore
Street. Philadelphia, became exhausted
in the water near where the girl had
escaped from. Jamison again went to
the rescue and after a hard, but brief
struggle, landed his victim on shore
where he soon got owe his rescue.
