KANKAKEE CERTAIN TO BE DREDGED

Notice- That Supreme Court Had Dismissed Pinney’s Appeal Bas Been Received. tAtorney A. Halleck has just received word from "the clerk of the supreme court stating that the appeal of William Pinney, of Porter county, in the Marble-Powers ditch case had been dismissed. This will probably he the last attack made oja the Kankakee river drainage proposition, which is known as the v Marble ditch, but of which W. F. Powers has been the chief leader since the death of Horace Marble, of Wheatfield. The original petition was filed in April, 1907, more than seven years ago. There had, however, been some efforts before that time, started in other counties. Mr. Marble had opposed the drainage plan for -some time, but when he came to realize that the drainage was certain to come he beaded the petition and was energetically interested in the plan up to the time of his death. W. F. Powers and Attorney Plotter, of Lafayette, continued to push the matter along and. they met very stubborn opposition from remonstrators north of the river, particularly the Browns and Mr. Pinney. The Case was heard in the Jasper circuit court during the summer of 1911 iby Special JudgC George F. Marvin, of, Monticello whose decision was generally favorable to the petitioners. Pinney and others appealed and the dismissal of the appeal leaves nothing in the way of letting the contract. -/ The drainage of the Kankakee river will reclaim thousands of acres of land in Northern Jasper and Newton counties and in southern Porter and Lake, and will establish a new era of agricultural possibility all along the river. The main ditch and the laterals will cost almost a half million dollars. It is probable that (the contract will be ict early in September and already dredge men are /beginning to make inquiry about it. • . A. Halleck has been the attorney for the ditch throughout its long

SOME FOURTHS IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

W. N. Pence Recalls Nubbin Ridge and Fair Oaks Celebrations— Recommends the Latter.

El Paso, Tex., June 19, 1914. Dear Republican: Enclosed you-wiH find cheek tor $1.50 to pay my subscription tor the next year. We took forward to The Republican as a weekly letter from home We are having rather quiet times at present on th e border. However, it is extremely dangerous to go into Mexico at numerous points on the border owing to small bunches of bandits. On our ranch we have quite a number of •bandits at present and it looks to me like we would be compelled to take care of them in the same way as was done in the United States during Indian times. We have had a very favorable season in the southwest range country up to the present time this year. Cattle are tn good Shape and are bringing good prices. Quite a lot of cattle have come out of Mexico this year regardless of the high export tax imposed by the constitutionalist party. A great number of these cattle have been stolen and the stock associaitlon’s inspectors have been kept busy bedding ■up association brands. Well, next Saturday is the 4th of July, and I -have been thinking of the pleasant . Fourths I have spent in years gone by in Rensselaer, where the silver-tongued orators made the eagle scream. Some were spent on “Nubbin Ridge” in the shade of the jack oak trees where the lemonade flowed freely and occasionally something a little stronger. Others were enjoyed on the banks of. the Kankakee angling tor dog fish, fighting mosquitos and watching Bill Bat lure the bull frog to his frying pan with a piece of his red flannel shirt. But for a real good time op the Fourth of July, go to Fair Oaks, where you will see all kinds of sports just under the hill, where old Joe Dunn’s hunting shanty used to stand. I will be thinking of the days gone by and the happy times Spent in Indiana on the coming Fourth, while I visit Ysleta on the

New Ball Players to Make First Appearance Sunday.

Rensselaer will have the’ Lafayette baseball team here next Sunday afternoon and the game should prove a splendid one. The Riversides are playing good ball at Lafayette and the Athletics will present a new lineup, having secured two new players tor the infield. It is expected to put Rensselaer on the baseball map and to do this will require some improvement in the team over last Bunday. Steps have been taken to make the team a good < and fans who have been urging the change will doubtless turn out to glye the rejuvenated team a good boost. On Thursday of next week the moving picture team will be here. This will be a novelty stunt along with a very high class ball game, tor the ‘lMovies" are all fine ball players. The team is accompanied by a man who takes moving pictures and who will photograph the crowd, parts of the game and any stunts which the crowd cares to put on. The picture flhn will be the property of the local ball club and will be Shown at The Princess theatre a week or so later. It will be a novelty to see yourself in the pictures, and plans are being made for a large crowd.

A Good Investment.

W. D. Magli, a well known merchant of Whitemound, Wis., bought a stock of Chiairiberlata’s medicines so as to be able to supply them to his custamere. After receiving them he was himself taken sick and says that one small battie of Chambertain’s (Jolie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was worth more to him than the coat of his enttire stock of these mediciines.
