JOINT MEETING OX DITCH
Count Boards of Pottawattamie and Har
riton Meet in December.
PROTESTS ARE LIKELY TO BE FILED
General Opinion, However, That
These Will Be Overruled and
Boards Will Order the
Ditches Da.
A Joint meeting of the supervisors of
Harrison and Pottawattamie counties has
been called for Thursday, December 22, in
Missouri Valley, at which time the mat
ter of establishing a Joint drainage district
In the two counties will come up for ac
tion. At this meeting also the supervisors
of both counties will hear ail objections
to the proposed improvement snd all
claims for damages. 8uch objections and
claims for dajnages must be filed with the
respective auditors of the two counties on
or before Friday. December 16. Notices to
be served on parties affected by the pro
posed drainage ditches have been prepared
and will be served In the next few days.
The Harrison - Pottawattamie county
drainage ditches were established a year
ago by the supervisors of the two counties,
but the old drainage law was declared null
and void, and at the last session of the
state legislature had to be amended. This
being the situation the work of establish
ing the drainage district has to be gone
all over again.
The new petition for the establishment
of the Joint drainage district was filed
June 8 last by Fred Brown and others. It
was filed with the auditors and boards of
supervisors of both counties, who appointed
Thomas Tostevin of this city as engineer
to make the survey as required by law.
Engineer Tostevin and the commissioners
appointed to represent the two counties
filed their report September 24 and now It
Is up to the supervisors of both counties
to either establish the drainage district
asked for or else reject the entire propo
sition. The proposed improvements Include the
construction of the Allen creek ditch, with
a right-of-way of 100 feet; the Willow
cre3k ditch, with a right-of-way of 150
feet, and a cut-off In the Boyer river, with
a right-of-way of 200 feet.
In Pottawattamie county there are about
180 parties who will be affected by the
construction of these ditches and each one
will have to be served with a separate
notice. In Harrison county, however, there
arc, It la said, over 1,000 persons who are
Interested and upon whom notices will
likewise have to be served.
Contractor Smith of Missouri Valley, who
was awarded the contract for the con
struction of the Boyer river cut-off at the
time the drainage district was first estab
lished and before the law was amended,
has done considerable work, but It Is a
question If he will be able to recover for
this in the event of his falling to secure
the new contract If the district Is again
established and the Improvements ordered
by the two boards of supervisors. The
firm of Brown St Co. of Washington, lnd.,
which had the contract for the Allen creek
nnd Willow creek ditches, did not com
mence work.
While opposition Is expected to the pro
posed ditches. It is thought that at the
meeting next month In Missouri Valley the
supervisors of both counties will grant the
petition of Fred Brown and others and
will establish the drainage district and
order the proposed Improvements carried
out.
Ington township be decreed to be In her.
She also asks for an attachment for fwj

Stops Work oa Ralldlaa.
"fhe work of remodeling the old Tre
mont house on West Broadway and Ninth
street, for which the Pabst Brewing com
pany was Issued a building permit, has
been brought to 'a halt. The Tremont
house Is an old frame building erected
many years ago and Is situated within the
i fire limits. This was not thought of at
the time the building permit for the re
modeling was Issued, but adjoining prop
erty owners called the attention of the
city authorities to the fact and the work
was stopped until the matter can be talked
over, which will be probably done at the
meeting of the city council Monday night.
It Is said that the city council favors re
quiring the Pabst Brewing company to
erect a-, brick building in place of the old
frame Structure If It still desires to Im
prove the property and will refuse to sanc
tion any frame addition to or remodeling
of the present structure. In the same
connection. It Is said, that the brewing
company has had a proposition made to It
to erect a modern brick building on the
site of the Tremont house and that lessees
j are prepared to take It on a long-time
i rental.
China Exhibit.
Mrs. Walter I. Smith, Mrs. George Hu
lette, Mrs. Bixby and their pupils will
give a china exhibit at L"0 South Seventh
street on Friday and Saturday of this
week. All are Invited.
Dinner (or the Children.
The Thanksgiving dinner to be given to
the children of Rev. Henry DeLong'a two
industrial schools will be served in the
basement of the Broadway Methodist
church, it being found that the DeLong
mission hall would not accommodate the
large number expected to be present. Din
ner will be served at 2:30 o'clock and Mr.
DeLong has chartered a special motor to
convey the children of the Avenue F school
to the church. The car will leave Broad
way and Tenth street at 2:16 and after
making a trip around the Oak street loop
will leave the children at the church. The
children have been given the privilege of
bringing their mothers with them, so that
the attendance at the dinner Is expected to
be quite large. Rev. James O'May, pastor
of the Broadway church, and Rev. A. K.
Burlff, pastor of Trinity Methodist church,
will make five-minute talks to the children
after the little ones have appeased their
appetites. Mr. and Mrs. DeLong extend a
general invitation to the public to visit the
church this afternoon and watch the young
folks enjoy themselves.
Brenirrs Goes to Relatives.
Anton Bremers, the German who was
taken from an Illinois Central passenger
train on November 4 In a demented con
dition and placed In St. Bernard's hos
pital, was yesterday discharged and sent
on his way to Kenesaw, Neb. Bremers
wits on his way to Kenesaw from Olden
burg, Germany, which place he left Oc
. tober 22, In company with a sister from
whom In some way he became separated.
After Bremers was- taken off the train In
this city word was received that his sister
had reached her relatives In Kenesaw
safely and recently they sent money to
enable Bremers to go there. Bremers has
quite recovered from his attack of mental
derangement thought to have been brought
on by worry at being separated from his
sister. He is unable to speak English,
but through an Interpreter yesterday ex
pressed his great pleasure at being able
to rejoin his relatives, and he was all
smiles when placed on the train yesterdoy
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Groneweg.

Defect In City's Title.
A defect In the city's title to the nine lots
on West Broadway which the city council
arranged to donate to Messrs. Woodln &
Hughes as a site for their wagon box fac
tory, has been discovered. In preparing
the abstract of title to these lots It was
found that George S. Wright owned the fee
title to them, they having been sold for
nonpayment of special taxes and that the
only title the city had to them rested In a
sheriff's deed. When apprised of this yes
terday Mr. Wright at once offered to help
the city out of Its dilemma and readily
volunteered to deed what title he had In
the property to the municipality so that It
could give a clear title to Messrs. Woodln
& Hughes.

shorter Inscriptions for the monuments
which will be satisfactory all around. Gov
ernor Cummins states that his Interview
with Assistant Secretary Oliver was en
tirely satisfactory and that thr-y agreed
virtually upon what should go on the mon
uments and that It only remains to put this
In form and it -vlll Include everything for
which the Iowa soldiers have contended.
Governor Cummins also expressed him
self as Immensely pleased with the re
ception had for the proposal of an amend
ment to the Interstate commerce law pro
viding for power to fix reasonable freight
rates to be lodged In some officii! body.
He had an Interview of an hour with the
president on this subject and urged upon
him that he put Into his message to con
gress a recommendation for modification
of the law. He would not venture a pre
diction as to the result of the conference,
hut Indicated that those who are at all
Interested In the matter would do weil
to read the message carefully and find out
for themselves what the president thinks.
In regard to the tariff revision matter,
while Governor Cummins had no mission
to Washington In relation to this and did
not purpose to take up the subject with
the president, yet the president did talk
It over with the governor and others.
Governor Cummins Is enthusiastic and
stands right where he has all the time In
regard to tariff revision, nnd believes that
It will be taken up by congress.
