The work began in March, 1922, and up until this time about 80 per cent of the tiling has been laid. Great enthusiasm has been shown over the immense success of the under- taking. Acreage where crops of cat tails and fox tails had been tho only yield for several seasons, were this year ready to plow and raised fair crops. Highways which were formerly soft because of the. seep- age are as dry and well maintained a8 the best in the state. There was some opposition to the Proposition at first by people on whose land there didn’t seem to be need of drainage as yet and even some whose lands did need it, but the alternative was offered, a fair estimate, that within five years the whole valley would have been a swamp with a foot of water over the floor of it, so the majority stepped out with their optimism and foresight and did the right thing. The drainage is particularly ef- fective and successful in this local- ity on account of the gravel base in which all drains are laid and be- cause of the natural slope of the valley toward the Wind river, which provided the engineers the oppor- tunity of making sufficient fall to all drainage lines. The engineers and contractors pronounce it the most effective and satisfactory drainage system they have ever observed, aseeeae? trial at White Plains. N. Y.. for Peters, former sailor. Chas. A.

ENDEAVOR BY ADDRESS WEDNESDAY Inspiration for a year of active work was found by the Casper Lions last night in an address on Lionism by A. Baker, former com- missioner of state lands, who out- lined the principles and aims of the organization in a talk before the weekly dinner of the club. Import- ance of following out an organized Ine of endeavor was emphasized. The series of concerts by noted artists scheduled to begin with the appearance in Casper of Anna Case on October 22 was brought to the attention of the Lions by a repre- sentative of the Women's Depart- mental club. The club hopes to secure money for the milk fund for school children through profits de- rived from the concerts. No tickets for individual performances will be fold if enough season tickets can be sold to fill the house, Father and son week will be ob- eerved by the Lions on Wednesday, October 17, when every Lion will be expected to bring his son or some one else's son to the regular meet- Ing.
