Of particular interest to a number
of Marion county people is an advance
copy of a report on the French Prairie
drainage project, prepared by Guy A.
Hart under the. direction of the IT. 8.
department of agriculture, 'just received
by Assistant State Engineer Percy A.
Cupper. Mr. Hart made preliminary
survey of the French Prairie district in
1915, and the report and accompanying
map embody the results of his investiga
tion. The south end of the district is
about seven miles noru of Salem, and
the district extends about 11 miles north
to a point near Woodburn. According
to the report there is approximately
15,000 acres which can properly be in
cluded within the district. The area
would be drained through 10 open
ditches, thus dividing the project into
16 units. It, is estimated that the total
cost of construcion of he drainage
ditches would be approximately $85,
000, or about $5.75 per acre. Mr. Hart
recommends that the entire area be or
ganized into one district. This, he es
timates, will render the cost less than
if separate districts were organized, nnd
will provide better security for any
bonds which may be issued. The map
accompanying the report shows the loca
tion of the various proposed drains.
I The report is accompanied by results of
.. a sou survey made under the direction

foremost experts completed plans for a
conference here next week, the infan

alarmingly worse. One hundred and
sixty-one new cases were reported as
against 134 yesterday. 'There were 44
deaths against 30 yesterday.
Officials admittedly were 'discour
aged. They had hoped the big tempera
ture drop would help them in their
fight.
The first Teal step against fakirs who
claim to have cures was taken today.
A man named Joseph Forbes was ar
raigned in the Tombs court charged
with being agent for a fake euro. He
pleaded not guilty and was held pend
ing further examination. Police say the
"cure' consists of a string of camphor

Growth
The tremendous growth enjoyed by the Saxon '
Motor Car Company in its two years of operation,
is the most fitting tribute tothe rightness of the car. -A
no time has it been a question of passive accept- i
ance on the part of the buying public,'. It has been
a keen, vigorous demand a demand which has re
quired a continuous increase in the. manufacturing
facilities to their present capacity, which is still in-,
adequate. ' .
February 23, 1914, the first Saxon was shipped
from the factory. February 23, .1916, 127 ware
shipped and today we are shipping approximately
170
"Topsy," in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," when ques
tioned regarding her origin and up-bringing con
fessed, "I just growed;" a statement undoubtedly
sufficient to explain many organizations, but not the
Saxon. It has a definite ideal towards which it is
working the ability to manufacture the best auto
mobile for the least money and since its inception
every energy of the entire organization has been
directed towards this ultimate end.
It has not been a haphazard growth. It has been .
careful construction, under the guiding hand of Mr.
Ford, on the original foundation laid by him in 1914.
Are we accomplishing our ideal? '.
We believe we are approaching it.
Today we offer an automobile containing more
standard, recognized parts than any other car under
$1000 parts that are admittedly of the finest ma
terial. The Saxon will operate as cheaply as any
car made and will perform with the east and sim
plicity which only the master motor can accomplish.
Yes, we are proud of our record. We are enjoy
ing a phenomenal growth, based on an honest value.

High Upkeep Cost Does
Not Bother Saxoneers
Seven months of strenuous scrvic.
in all kinds of weather and only fifty
cents repair bill, is the record estab
lished by Mr. nines Holt, of Columbus,
Georgia. In a letter recently received,
Mr. Holt saya as follows:
"My Saxon roadster certainly given
the utmost satisfaction. I have often
wondered why so many people are sat
isfied with mediocre cars when the;
Saxon is on the market. I average 28
to 30 miles to the gallon of gasoline
and never experience any of the trival
troubles which seem to go hand in hand
with fellow motorists. I hand all the
credit, to the 'Saxon' and assure that
now I have been sold T will certainly
remain in the Saxon" fold."
