Friend John: " Everything here is moving along finely this spring and we are getting good prices for the first time since we have been in business. My partner and I own and operate over fifteen miles of standard gunge railroad and employ in our cam)) and mills about lifiO men. Our pay roll amounts to $20,00(1 per month, so it keeps me hustling to keep things going. Our output of logs amounts to lfio.ooo feet per day, and we cut in our mill about 50,0(10 and sell 100,000 to other mills. It has been a hard pull for any logger or mill man to keep above water the last seven years, but those of us who hava survived are now in shape to reap a profit. In addition to my deal over here 1 farm a little in eastern Washington . and Idaho. On one ranch I own we have in 1200 acres of winter wheat and on another are getting in 800 acres of spring crop. So altogether I have about all one man can do. I hope you won't think I am writ ing a history of myself, but I am sure you are interested in what I am doing, as I always am to hear of you.

Sioux City Journal, 13th: The drainage ditch program for Dakota county, Nebraska, again has been halted by the courts. Supervisors of Drainage District No. 2, which lies within the county limits, yester day were served with official notice from the United States district court at Omaha that application had been filed for an injunction restrain ing them from conducting water in to Jackson lake. The supervisors a month ago let a contract for the digging of two ditches in the district and the machinery for the work has been shipped, lhe action started in the federal court will stop all opera tions until the case has been settled. The new litigation has been started by Joseph Winterbotham and John Winterbotham, owners of the old Mondamin farm near Jackson, which comprises about 1, 1)00 acres, and a half dozen smaller property owners. In their petition filed in the federal court they allege that the entire drainage plan is at fault, that the proposed ditch will be unable to car ry oil the waters. lhe principal contention is that the water from the hills in that section will he car ried into Jackson lake, which will not be able to take care of it with the result that land in that section will be constantly flooded at certain seasons. It also is pointed out in the petition that the overflowing of the lake cannot be prevented, as it has Our 30th Banking Birthday Learnii. ; -Making Saviup since April 1-lth, 1SS0.
