RECLAMATION OF THE KANKAKEE

Progress of Work on « Stupendous Project In Laporte County. Michigan City Dispatch: Although many large ditches have been dug in the south part of the county to reclaim marsh lands, the most stupendous task in hand at this time is the scheme to deepen, widen and straighten the Kankakee river. This is being accomplished with a great canal that cuts off all bends. The ditch iB to be seventeen miles long and a large part of it has already been dug. It will shorten forty-five miles of river to seventeen miles, and increase the fall from four and one-third inches a mile to fourteen and two-tenths inches a mile. This will reclaim about 150,000 acres of land in Laporte and Starke counties. The ditch will be from eight to twelve feet deep, forty, forty-five and fifty feet wide at the bottom, and most of the way not less than seventy feet wide at the top; in one place, or where the ditch goes through “goose neck,” it will be eighty feet wide. It is estimated that there will be thrown out in constructing this ditch 1,400,000 cubic yards of soil, which is clay, gravel and sand, mixed with muck and peat—an alluvial soil containing no rocks. The amount of money necessary to construct the ditch, including the incidental expenses, is estimated at $120,000. The amount of assessed benefits in Laporte county is $141,(559, and in Starke county $72,3(5(5, a total of $214,025. For this work Laporte county has issued bonds to the amount of $79,500, which may be paid in installments during seventeen years; and Starke county has issued bonds to the amount of $40,500, which may be paid iu installments during fourteen years. The average cost of lateral ditching is about SI,OOO a mile; that of river work, or ditching along the general course of the Kankakee to cut off its bends, is about $5,500 a mile. The Danielson arm of what is called the “Place ditch” is river work; this makes the Place ditch practically a river ditch; it shortens sixty-five miles of the river to twenty-two miles, and as the new ditch will shorten forty-five miles of the river to seventeen, here are 110 miles shortened to thirty-nine. The result of all this is, that the allied interests working this grand transformation in the valley, now have a total acreage covering approximately seventy-six square miles, which is rapidly coming under successful cultivation. This land is situated in Dewey, Union, Prairie, Johnson and Hanna townships, Laporte county; although some of it lies in the southeast part of Porter county. All of it borders on the Kankakee river, but some scattering tracts are in Starke county.

bee of them all. But I now take my hat off to Connie, for I think that he Is the wisest man In the business. He never overlooks anything, and from the standpoint of the player there is none better to get along with. I never have had any friction with him since I have been working with him, and signing my contract was only a formality, as we were both satisfied, and that was all there was to it.” Conklin Is Billiard Champion. Charles F. Conklin of Chicago, newspaper stereotyper and former expert baseball player, recently won the highest honors in the Class A amateur billiard tournament in Chicago by defeating W. H. Sigourney of San Francisco in the final game by a score of 300 to 231. Conklin averaged 0 22-23 and had 31 for high run. Sigourney’s average was 5 2-15, and his high run 40. Conklin and Sigourney were tied for first place. Each had won five games and lost one. Conklin’s only defeat was at the hands ot the Californian two days before, while Tliresliie of Boston had beaten Sigourney earlier in the tournament. Conklin was quick to get his stroke, and after two misses made sixteen points in the third Inning. Sigourney had only scored two In liis first inning, and Conklin came back with a run of 31 in his fourth inning, all made by difficult open table billiards. The score now stood 47 to 3. This gave Conklin a lead which Sigourney could not overcome. Botli players realized apparently wliat was at stake and played safety and with little confidence. Conklin increased ids lead iu the remaining innings and gave a fine exhibition of draw and open table work.

National Auto Circuit. An auto racing circuit of national scope is now being planned. The circuit will include Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati and Denver. Meets of three and four days will be held in all the cities except New York and Chicago, where the machines will race a whole week. The promoters from these cities practically agreed upon tlielr circuit at the Or-mond-Daytona races. The circuit plan would abolish long jumps and Reduce the big expense heretofore experienced. The trouble was in the season past that a race meet would be held in New r York one day and another in Chicago two or three days later, and then back to Buffalo a few days later. The jumps were too far apart, which meant big expense and considerable trouble. It is proposed also to form an association to control these circuit races. D. 11. Lewis, secretary of the Buffalo Automobile club, is behind the move, with the other promoters supporting him. Penn Football Dates Out. The University us Pennsylvania football schedule is in the hands of the faculty for its approval. Columbia is down to play Pennsylvania on Nov. 18 in New York. The schedule: Sept. 30, Lehigh at Franklin held; Oct. 4, Gettysburg at Franklin held; 7, Swarthmore at Franklin Held; 11, Franklin and Marshall at Franklin Held; 14, Virginia at Franklin field; 21, Brown at Franklin field; 28, Lafayette at Franklin field; Nov. 4, North Carolina at Franklin field; 11, Harvard at Franklin field: 18, Columbia at New York; 25, Carlisle Indians at Franklin field; 30, Cornell at Franklin field.

Boar Abe Attell. At the rate Abe Attell is making matches for the future he cannot expect to hit the toboggan for some time. He has signed with Benny Yanger. Tommy Mowatt, Frank Carsey and by his defeat of Tommy Murphy will meet Frankie Neil. The Boston National*. President Soden of the Boston Nationals says he has not as yet decided on the makeup of his team for this year, except that Dick Cooley will stay. Dick is pretty good, but it seems as if about eight other men at least would be necessary. Cnrlejr Supples. Curley Supples of Buffalo, who several years ago was one of the best lightweights In the country, has received an offer from the Chicago university to take the position of assistant boxing Instructor.

GRAFTERS FEAR PUBLICITY.

Oxford Tribune: Publicity is the rock that grafters shun. The trustee of a township in Warren county, published his report as required by law, but in a paper as far removed as possible from those interested. The taxpayers on investigating the same found that the salary paid was SB9O, or 450 days pay at $2 per day. This was crowding the calendar. His salary for the four years averaged almost $750 per year. There were but 1461 days in the four years, 208 of which were Sunday, yet pay was exacted for 1468 days, or 215 more work days than in the calendar, not including holidays. The law allows $2 per day as trustee and the same for looking after the poor, yet no charge shall be made for double service on the same day The trustee “discovered” the error and returned $508,81. It cost the taxpayers about sls for the publication of the annual report and they have been saved over S4OO. This is a bigger per cent than 40 cents corn or 30 cent oats. It pays to give publicity to official reports. The conditions that usually follow investigations of those officials who object to having reports published in the interest of economy show

that publicity is feared. A grafter is always kicking on the profits a newspaper makes on reports.

PHILOSOPHER DOOLEY.

Here is a bit of Dooley’s philosophy that is delightfully appropriate: Dooley in his little saloon was busy making out a list. Casey came in and said: “Phat ar ye doin,’ Dooley?” “I’m makin, a list of the min in this town I can lick.” Said Casey, “Is me own name on the list?” “It is,” says Dooley.” And have ye got Finnegan’s name on it?” Dooley looked over and said, “sure and I have.” | Hereupon Casey left and proceeded to find Finnegan, to whom he told of the work of Dooley. “I’ll see him” said Finnegan. And he did. “Ye’ve got a list, I hear of the min you can lick,” “I have,” says Dooley. “And my name is on it?” says Finnegan. “It is” says Dooley. “Well,” says Finnegan, “I can lick you an’ your daddy and your two brothers in half an hour.” “Ye kin, kin ye?” says Dooley. “Yes, I kin, kin I!” says Finnegan. And Dooley looked up and said: | “Well, thin, I’ll scratch your name off the list.” An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

We ask for your order because we can show it pays to buy Ward Vehicles. 60,000 orders in our Vehicle Dept, in 1904. Just think of it! The very best at the price every time, too, exactly aa agreed. Now to support some of our talk with proof (seldom you see this): We recently purchased a buggy through another party from a manufacturing concern that builds (so they say) more vehicles than any other factory in the country. This job they sell to dealers at from $38.00 to $40.00 (depending upon how easy the man is). The same job would be retailed or sold to the user at from $50.00 to $55.00. * We set it up and examined it carefully and fairly. Will say, we positively would not allow our superintendent to build and ship such buggies on our $36.00 buggy orders. That’s a fact. It is difficult for us to tell of all the difference between our vehicles as compared with
