Ralph of the state drainage commission, whe was recently given the major part of the state topographical drainage survey has practically completed the survey in the orthwestern part of the state and is ready to begin in Wadena county. Mr. Ralph has four men with him and is pushing the work raridly. About 26 miles per day is being covered and the territory for which levels have already been taken covers more than 250,000 acres of swamp land. Mr, Ralph says that much of the work will have to be done in the winter time owing to the large swamps which are abso- lutely impassable except when frozen. From Wadena county Mr. Ralph will go to St. Louis and Cook counties. The entire survey will be com- pleted August 1and a book set- ting forth fully the drainage levels of the state together with other valuable information upon drainage will be published at the same time by the state drainage commission. Engineer Aber- brombie is still at work running levels north from Farley to the boundary line. SPECIAL TRAIN FOR JAS. HILL fGive You Gnaranieed.

Yesterday morning a jury was drawn in the case of Sarah Ann Newbury-vs-The Great North- ern Railway Co. The plaintiff in her complaintallege that on the 25th of March, 1904 she was vio- lently thrown from a sleigh while crossing the defendant’s track at Wilton.

By reason of such neglect and said injuries she prays for judgment for $5,000 and costs. The de- dandent to this sets up a general denial, maintaining among other things the highway was was- not legally laid out, and that they had no notice to build the cross- ing.
