Drainage Matters . { , 1
Thc following letter is our
text for this weeks sermon on
drainage mattcrs :
'rarldo , Mo. , Dee. . 19 , 1903-
l\lr. R. E. Grinstcad-Salcm ,
Ncbraska-Dcar Sir-Rl'plying
to your letter of thc 12th inst
would say wc have a ditch here
about fifteen feet long. Thc
ditch was about 12 feet deep and
18 feet widc.
r think thc cost is right around
S2000 per milc. We believe thc
ditch is a great hclp. R. E.
Gowdy of this place did our
ditching for us , however hc has
sold his machine but lor further
information wc would refer you
to him.
Yours truly
D. Rankin.
'Vc desire to have this letter
reproduced because of thc fact
that David Rankin is a man of
national reputation , not only as
thc most extensive cattle feeder
in thc world but as a man of thc
strictest honor and integrity , a
man who could not bc induced to
prevaricate thc truth to gain a
political advantage nor for any
other purpose :
The corn that Mr. Rankin uses
to feed his numerous herds of
cattle is raised mainly on his
own farms composed mainly of
'l'arkio river bottol1 S.
The bulk of l\lr. Rankin's
immense fortune was made main-
ly by buying 'l'arkio's wet lands
at a low price prior to the mak-
ing of thc ditch sonic five years
ago , of which hc speaks in thc
above lcttcr.
I reproduce these facts because
it is being asserted that thc
Tarkio ditch has clone no gooct.
The following a truthful
.
statement of thc 'l\trkio ditch together - '
g'clhcr with all its cn vi ronmcn ts.
'l'hc 'l'arldo river watershed is
well made up mainly of thc steep ,
and in many places priapitous
bluffs of thc Missoun : river hills.
'l'hc gradient of thc stream is
very little , towards thc lower end
from thc Holt Co line to thc
mouth of thc stream it is not
more than one foot per mile and
at thc Holt Co. line thc new
channel makes a right angle to
thc cast and discharges into thc
old channel following its sinuosi-
tics to th'm r'cr. .
Along this part of thc 'l'arkio
hc t ditch above has been a disadvantage -
I .
advantage rattier than otherwise
' . for it is a settled and undisputed
fact that when a new channel is
made , of the samc size as thc old ,
which shortens thc distance between -
twecn two given points thc flood
line is lowered in thc same pro-
portion that thc stream is short-
.
.
. .
cned and thc flood line below thc -.t-
cut off is for a while , before \
thc new channel gets its growth ,
raised half as much as it is low-
cred above the lower end of the
cut ofT. The above statcmcnt of
facts is thc concurrent endorse-
nient of all engineers , wc belicvc.
The Tarkio river above thc
Holt Co. line sometimes now in
excessive rainfalls , breaks thc
banks for a short while , but remember - .
member that thc old channel is :
filed up in many places
The bottom lands there cannot
bc bought for less than $75 per '
acre , wc mean above thc Holt Co. ' ; : : '
lines which is thc lower end of
thc cut off. Remember also that rl !
thc Ncmaha river in which wc , _ i' . : .
arc interested has a gradient
: 11
ninny . times greater than the . ,
'rarlno , and that of thc watcr'I" ' . ; ,
.1
shed above thc bottoms is much , 1
lea than thc 'rarko : which do s it
not so rapidly bring a given
volume of water jute thc channel
.
thus causing it to break banks.
It is thc concurrent opinion of
several noted engineers with
whom wc have discussed thc
natural environments of Ncmaha
valley that wc have the easiest
and most inviting problem of any " '
known valley in thc west for '
.
-
securing thc best results with thc _
least expenditure of cffor.t. . . -
These same engineers is invited -
cd to do so will give some good 5
advice to thc board of trade al
.
Falls City relative to thc only
possible war to maintain good
roads at a minmum expense across
thc bottoms into this town.
In Burt , Douglas , Washington ,
Otoc , Dodge and Ncmaha coun-
ties where drainage districts arc
being organized , there is no effort -
fort being organized to defeat
-.J.
thc same because of any fear - .
that any property other than thc ' '
wet lands benefited , will be taxed
for thc reclamation of thc same.
k
I am very certain that in this .
county there is not an intelligent
fair minded man that wants to
know thc truth and bc fair and
"tell thc truth and shame thc . 4
dcvil" that believes such nonscnsc. ; : j i
Thc owners of overflowed lands' . : : ;
under thc law-or under any law .t
. .
. .
. , . . .
that can bc madc-that is consh- ' , ;
tutiolt'al , will par different prices ,
per acre each according to benefits - ,
fits received thc to bc ' - '
, same sct- 404\
tied by thc engineer in charge
under thc direction of the county
board of supervisors . 'l'hesc same
supervisors will have thc selection , . . .
tJon of thc cnginecr. .
Grover Cleveland will have as
.
much to say and do in making '
.
these selections in these actions as . )
