Benkelman citizen that the survey nowbeing made would reveal the fact thatthe proposed ditch would be a feasibleproject and that it would be completedbetween now and next seeding time.The company's method of making theirditches profitable investments is to sellto land holders for $500 a perpetualwater right that will entitle said land-

holders to a volume of water sufficientto irrigate 160 acres. If the land hold-

cannot produce $500 the companywould be willing to take either first orsecond mortgage on his farm for theamount. Benkelman Democrat.

bronchitis. . After repeated attemptsto resume her duties she resigned herposition and returned to her home inIllinois , where she was confined to herbed with intense suffering until Satur-day
