STATEMENT OF C. K. ORDWAY & SON. 



In 1888 we cut off the wood and brush and blowed out 

 the stumps, turned the water in a different course, made a 

 dam at the outlet of stone that it might not wash. We 

 filled the creek that was ten feet wide with dirt. It was 

 planted the first year without manure or fertilizer with po- 

 tatoes and corn fodder. The cost of the work that was done 

 was one hundred dollars.
