Thousands of dollars invested, moral persuasion, cuss words both foreign and Amercan, with neighbors cussing each other by day and by night, early and late for eight long years failed to make a sue cess of that hillside ditch which is and has always been honey combed with badger and squirrel holes and so the poor thing died in the making rendering but little service to any one and may it rest in peace.
