The drainage ditch, which caused so many cuss words to flow Sunday, drains a large area of land im north- western Aitkin county and the work is done by a big barge dredger. The ditch is forty feet wide and it was found necessary to bridge the cavity made in Jim Hill’s turnpike.

The state of Minnesota today has on hand the tidy sum of $3,360.000 This is $1,224.000 more than the state had at the corresponding time last year.

Last year in April the re ceipts were $1,419,000, and the dis- jbursements about the same as this year. The total receipts from the railroad arriv On lear late, mana this year, so far, are $4,442.400.25. Last year they. were $2,972,792.55. Clearing With Angoras.

It is also thei intention to inaugurate a new sys tem of clearing the small brush off this land by introducing the Angora goats, which they are shipping here from Oregon.It is intended that these little animals will eat the brush in their regular occupatioon of finding feed. It is as yet a question whether the little animals will be able to successfully combat with the wolves, which infest that neighborhood, but as they are a match for the ord- {inary dog, it is likely they will be able to hold ‘th Dry Sunday at Bovey. It was a dry Bovey on Sunday, Many a door knob failed to respond and the thirsty went down to Trout lake, gagged a couple of times and then layed the dust in their necks with the strange stuff that some use to boil pitaties im or to soften the Ozone of a corn in. It was a re- minder that it is best to provide in advance for irrigation and “dry farming.’ There was am Indian im town oh Sunday and it was feared that some one might forget them- selves and the word get to ‘“‘Pussy- foot Johnson.” This was a wise pre- caution that should have been work- ed long ago.
