Engineer and Commissioners Start to View Boyles Ditch.

County Engineer Yeoman and Special Ditch Commissioners S. T. Comer, of Jasper, and John K. Ooan, of Brook, started this Tuesday morning on the job of surveying lor the Boyles ditch, which provides for the cleaning of the old Bruce Moflit ditch and the construction of several laterals. The ditch has its source near Virgie and extends to the southwest past the town of Fair Oaks into Newton county. The proposed main ditch is 14 miles in length, while six laterals have a total length of about six miles. H. M. Rhorer, of Danville, 111, representing the C. & E. I. railroad, was here today looking up the proposed ditch and doubtless preparing to make some opposition to its construction.
