DECIDES 10 DIG THE DITCH Board Takes Tinal Action on the Long Talktd of Proposition. HARRISON COUNTY TO PAY ITS SHARE Thomas Tostevln Appointed Engineer In Charge of tha Work to Look ' After tha Interests of tha County, Harrison county's two ditches, known as the Willow Creek and the Allen Creek ditches, will be constructed to connect with the ditch In Pottawattamie county, which will be known as the Boyer cut-off ditch. The Willow creek ditch will start about Ave miles north of Missouri Valley and after merging with the Allen creek ditch In Pottawattamie county will tap the Boyer river at a point about one mile south of Loveland. From this point the ditch to be known as the Boyer cut-off will be constructed In an almost straight line to the Missouri river. This ditch will be about one and one-half miles long. The construction of the ditches, it Is estimated, will necessitate KS4.S31 cublo yards of excavation aa follows: Willow creek ditch, 418.848; Allen creek ditch, 322. 836; Boyer cut-off, 83,147. It Is estimated that the total cost of tha Improvement will be $37,50), although these figures may be Increased, as a number of owners of land through which the ditches will pass are demanding greater damages than allowed by the appraisers. It Is 'figured that the work of excavating can be done for 8 cents per ruble yard, or a total cost of fi8,790. The right of way, including damages, It is figured will absorb about $17,000, while other expenses, such as pay of the en gineer In charge, will amount to about $4,000. It is expected that the work of con struction can be completed this year. Harrison CItcs Bond.) The Board of County Supervisors took final action yesterday in the matter of the Pottawattamie-Harrison county drainage ditch proposition and the Improvement will be carried out. The board adopted the re port of the commissioners appointed by the two countlea also the report of the appraisers of damages to property affected by the proposed ditches. The auditors of the two counties will now advertise for bids for the construction of the ditch which will be divided into sections for this pur pose. Thomas Tostevin was appointed engineer in charge of the construction of the ditch by the board, which will also determine the compensation he shall receive. The bond in the sum of $20,000 signed by thirty four property owners of Harrison county as a guarantee that Harrison county would pay the additional cost of the construction of the ditch in Pottawattamie county, was filed with the board. The ditch in Potta wattamie county will have to be of in creased capacity in order to care for tha water from Harrison county, thus increas ing the cost of its construction. In, this county and this extra expense is 10 I borne by the Harrison county people., The ditch Is one of the most Important I undertakings ever contemplated In the two counties and t is expected that 158 square miles of land will be directly benefited by its construction. The board also approved the establish ment of the Pigeon creek ditch in Crescent township and Thomas Tostevin was also appointed engineer In charge of this work. The Pigeon creek ditch is but a small un dertaking In comparison with the proposed Pottawattamle-Harrlson county joint ditch. F. L. Reed, clerk of the district court, filed a report showing that he had col lected $1,477.86 In fees from December 21. i903. to June 1, 1903, and which he had turned into the county treasury. Alderman Israel' Lovett petitioned the board to have the county bulldmg at Twenty-fourth street and Avenue B re paired at a cost not to exceed $0. Today the board will take up tha matter of the plans for the buildings on the new county poor farm. The smartest scholars in town will grad uate at the Deestrlck Skule next Friday evening in the New opera house. Secure your tickets. There is a limit to the seat ing capacity of the house.

FORTUNES ARE WIPED OUT Avalanche of Wall Street Liquidation Sends Stocks to Paulo Prices. NEW YORK, June 10. Prices of stocks were smashed under an avalanche of liqui dating sales. When the market opened up block, of (,000 .hare, of stocks were thrown upon the market and let go on the running snips, showing wide fractional variations for rlmultanenus quotations. The average were over a point. The sales come from al) quarters and the reason was attributed to aerious flood news at St. Louis and tha political situation In England. There was a large short Interest, evidently, which took advantage of the opening break to cover and powerful Interests executed supporting orders In the meantime. There wes a recovery which carried aome leading stocks back to or above last night. but the higher prices caused a falling off In the buying and were taken advantage of for renewed sales to liquidate, so thru prices were lower than before U o'clock. There was a rally again a little later, but the market continued excited and very nervoua. Among the stocks which sold at a lower price than was reached even on Miy 0, 1901, were Amalgamated, Ainer'cin Sugar, Baltimore & Ohio, Brooklyn Transit, Con solidated Gas, New York Central and Penn sylvania. 1'nlted States Steel, common an 1 preferred, reached the lowjst figures of their history except for the prices touche.l momentarily on Miy 9, 1901.
