More About the Iroquois Drainage.

As our friend, Mr. L. S. Alter, has given vent to his fdelingsinthe Iroquois drainage matter, I will try and give a little ot the other side of the matter. Hh uses, as he thinka facts and figures which may look all right on paper bat it is like farming on paper when it comes to the test it looks a wlo'e lot different, let him come down along the river when it rains and watch it rise, it has risen four inches an hour after it was clear oat of its banks when it is spread all over* the low lands. We are only asking what, in cor opinion is right, and jnst. We can see no benefit in having a larger volume of water thrown on ns in a much shorter space of time. He sayg what is sauce for the goose is sance for the gander, well those fellowa on the upper end certainly think we are geeee or some other aquatic birds. They have their lands drained oit and a great deal of it is made valuable that was before only fit to raise frogs and muskrats on. We are simply taking a defensive stand the lands of Indiana, do allow water t» run down hill bat when extensive drainage systems are installed, for the benefit of march lands, the law should require then to at least help take care of the water they are very glad to get rid of, and any fair man will not object to helping pay a reasonable portion of it. More than half of the men that I talk* d to, who signed the remonstrance were misinformed

in regard to the matter and were sorry they signed it. Bnt perhaps if those carp will do their duty and go to rooting the question will be solved. He also says if we do not ask damages before we are damaged we will have to wait nntil Gabriel blows his trumpet, well I do not know that particnl r date, bnt if we have rains and snow like we have bad in previous years we will need life boats and preservers. We do not ask anything oat of reason all we ask is what is fair and jost .hfltwwui man and, man-. je-r

The men behind the remonstrance waited until the last moment and then came oat and. had hired all the men they could to carry the papers and we did not have sufficient time to see the people and explain the true tacts of the case. W, B. Y.
