In the country north of Rensselaer there are many thousands of acres of oats drowned out by the big rain recently, also considerable in the Wet belt south of town. Not a great deal of corn was planted previous to the big rain, but considerable of that which was has had to be replanted Thursday night’s rain was probably a benefit to farm lands, as it needed some rain to loosen up the soil again.

FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

In a letter to The Democrat under date of May 17, Miss Candace Brown, a former compositor on this paper, now of Lisbon, No. Dakota, says, among other things: We are faring a little better than our Indiana friends, for the crops here are doing fine, the wheat and oats fields will be a sight worth seeing in another week. Although we were about a week behind with our crop it is looking as nice as our neighbors. There was very little fall plowing done on this farm, consequently it was all tp do this spring, putting them behind with the planting, but have bad fair growing weather ever since. Qt course we have had some bad weather mixed in with the good. Here are a few days of the worst weather we have had .-May 3 and 4, rain; 5, cold and windy; 6, fair; 7, cold, cloudy and windy; 8, fair; 9, hard rain and hail; also the 10, 11, rain and 2 in. of snow fell in afternoon and laid until noon of 12th; have had pretty fair weather since. The roads are good at all times; it will be muddy during a hard rain but dry by the next day. The weeks are all days and no nights, or that is the way it seems. The days are so long I sometimes think they will never pass, and the nights so short I can not get enough sleep It is go to bed, turn over and get up. It is not dark until about 8 o’clock in the evening and is daylight at 4. The boys are putting in a crop on our own land, this week will finish it. The Democrat reaches ns every Monday and is pretty well worn by the time we are all through with it.T don’t we leave an item unread. Best regards to the family and all of my friends.

THE IROQUOIS DITCH

Was ordered on September 3, 1902. After that date the statute secured the county to fees as stated by the viewers in their report for oonstrnction, which was not filed until April 26, 1904. The board, out of kindness to the viewers, advanced fees from time to time. This was an inducement to nurse the job. The auditor's notice required all motions for appeal to be filed on or before June 7, 1904. The board on June 8, 1904, entered a default. On Jane

15, 1904, there being no motion for appeal, the board decided a fair appointment could be made, released the petitioners on their bond and ordered the ditch to repay all fees, amounting to $3,000. The viewers reported a share of expenses for the county to pay, $1,300. A fair apportionment was decided July 8,1904. Benjamin J. Gifford, owning 22,000 acres and apportioned of costs, $6480, and the Monon Railway, apportioned of costs, SB4O, applied for an appeal, which was granted. The apportioned benefits are $240,000 and the costs estimated at $130,000. The acreage is 115,000 and the parties 1,400. The case is pending in the Carroll circuit court. A motion to dismiss because of the board’s alleged interest in the connty, a motion to dismiss because the viewers were not interested in the county, and a demurer to each appeal are to be ruled upon next Monday, May 2*
