People in the south part of the
county have taken hold of the long
discussed problem of drainage in a
practical way and some extensive
work has been done in that line the
past summer. As a result much of
the surplus water will be carried off
in the natural waterways. The work
has been done by individual land
owners as well as some by a few town
shsps. Inman was the pioneer in the
work and the things accomplished
there inspires others to the same.
The work is done with three capstans,
long lines of cables and a huge plow
resembling a snow plow of a railroad
train. A great furrow is cut making
a complete drainage canal some
fifteen feet wide at the top and
several feet deep. Four teams are
hitched to each capstan and the plow
is slowly drawn through the earth by
means of cables. Most of the work
has been done in Inman and Cham
bers precincts while individuals have
had drainage canals cut in other pre
cincts. Among these are the Galla
gher and Lee & Prentis ranches.
The outfit is owned and operated by
a man from Minneapolis.

ding of Miss Anna Ottis Harrington,
