At tlic Ins minute before the adjournment of tho legislature "Oohoon's Road Hill. tho. drainage feature of which has provoked in the county such a storm of op position, was amended ho oh to give the commissioners some dis cretion in permitting land own ers to drain into ditches parallel with the public road ; This was doubtless n response -to various telegrams and letters of protest from the county in re gard to this feature of the bill. The amendment provides that any jwrson whose property is drained into a road ditch may make application to the highway commission for the privilege of continuing such drainage. After lie has advertised his application for twenty days at the court i aih mil r tniHM atiIHT UUUSC MW1 a nil t- public places in the county he is given a hearing by the highway commission who may at their dis cretion grant or refuse to grant his petition. It is further provid d. however, that when any high way is to be improved the com mission shall revoke after ninety days notice any jerinit to drain into the ditch alongside, that road. Tt is thought that this amend ment will materially lessen the opposition of this bill. INTEREST IN CONTEST.

The revelations sensational anL shocking, show ing the many discrepancies in the professions and the lives of men and women bring to a cli max the teaching of the drama.
