Much Joy at Winamac.

Residents along the Tippecanoe river and lovers of the old stream can get a lot of satisfactin from a statement of a government drainage expert who is making an examination of the Kankakee valley. There has been some talk up in that valley of diverting the waters of Yellow river into the Tippecanoe by means of a canal entering the latter river near Ora The drainage expert, W. J. McEarthron, stated at Knox last week that “it is out of the question to divert the waters of Yellow river into the Tippecanoe; one single objector in either valley would defeat the proposition.’’ Good! It’s a relief to have some authentic information to the effect that the murky swamp-juice from Yellow river is not to pollute the crystal clearness of the Tippecanoe.—Winamac Democrat
