RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, JULY 81, 1911?

COURT PRONOUNCES KANKAKEE PROJCT PUBLIC UTILITY.

Special Judge Marvin Holds Marble Ditch Practicable and Overrules the Remonstrators. *■ Special Judge George R. Marvin, of Monticello, who is hearing the Marble ditch case, made his first important ruling this Monday morning, when he held that the proposed ditch was practicable as a public utility. Opposed to this view were a large number df remonstrators, mostly from Porter and Lake counties, who were represented by a number of attorneys. In making his decision Judge Marvin stated that he had gone carefully over the reports and had personally visited the country through which the ditch is to run and had also visited the country further up, where the river had already been deepened and straightened. He said that he was sure from the investigation he had made that the benefits would exceed the cost of construction. ' , The petitioners were greatly pleased with his decision and the members of the Northern Indiana Land Co, were especially gratified. They eomdder that the draingage of the country by the deepening and straightening of the Kankakee river would be the salvation of many thousands of acres of land. After making his decision the court at once took up the question of setting aside a number of remonstrances against the assessments, which were filed after the period. allowed by the proceedings. This will be followed by taking up the remonstrances which allege an inequality of the assessments and this will require several weeks probably to adjudicate. Each successive decision of the court has been in favor of the construction of the improvement and the last barrier to construction was apparently removed by the decision of the court declaring the practicability of the ditch as a public utility.

Found the San Luis Valley Flowing With Milk and Honey.

Dr. I. M. Washburn returned this Monday morning from his trip to the San Luis valley, in southeastern Colorado, where he made an investment some two years ago in land. Since then the irrigations plant has been completed and a number of the purchasers have tilled their soil. Dr. Washburn has not placed any of his land under cultivation so far and it was to see about having it tilled another year that took him on this trip. He was accompanied by Andy Hahn, of Goodland, who with other citizens of Goodland, owns a big. motor plow. Dr. Washburn has been a firm believer in the success of the San Luis Valley but states that the results attained by the farmers there surpasses his wildest expectations and even exceeds his hopes. He brought home with him some powerful evidence of the fertility of the soil in the shape of bundles of wheat, oats, alfalfa and field peas. Part of this was cut from land adjoining his own and it is the finest we have ever seen. The wheat and oats stood about the height of Dr. Washburn’s head and it was estimated that the wheat would make 60 and the oats 75 bushels to the acre. The field peas, which make a fine forfige crop, grow abundantly and the samples he brought home are about 4% feet in height. The alfalfa was of this and last year’s planting, and was luxuriant. Mr. Hahn did not return home with Dr. Washburn. He was so favorably impressed with the country that he decided to stay longer and give'it some further investigation. Dr. Washburn was accompanied to Colorado by his mother, Mrs. Martha Washburn, of Chicago. They went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Coover, in Boulder, and Mrs. Washburn remained there while Dr. Washburn visited the valley. Mr. Coover has about recovered from the accident he bad several months ago and they are prospering in business. Roy. Martindale, of Pine Village, is visiting his uncle, John C. Martindale and family. Sunday was the 60th anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Mary E. TrOxell, of DeMotte, andUbe event was made the occasion of a big reunion at her hospitahle home.

Neighbors Just as Helpful as Of Old Up at Rosebud.

Editor Republican: No, indeed, the good old fashioned neighbors, thoughful and helpful, are not all gone, by any means. The Rosebud threshing ring is made up of just that sort While threshing Leslie Alter’s oats Friday, they drove as care--fully and talked as quietly as possible, and even set the -machine where the least noise would reach the houses. The wives of each man expected to prepare lunch for them, so that preparation for dinner need not be carried on within the house, but as the machine finished at Mr. Saul Norman’s about the middle of the forenoon, they insisted on every man coming back there for dinner, so they did that, inconveniencing themselves in many ways just to relieve Leslie of all confusion and shocks possible. With tearful eyes and grateful hearts we wondered -at this genuine respect and love of our neighbors. Leslie is slowly improving from the awful burns caused by boiling water. ALTER FAMILY.
