Time Goes By -- Sept 4, 2007
90 years ago (1917)  -from The Blair Democrat: "Hannas Grimm, who owns a farm along the Cauble Creek ditch that runs along the north edge of Blair, is planning on stopping the cutting of the banks along his land by damming the bed of the stream with brush, dirt and woven wire. If his plan succeeds, he will be able to save a lot of valuable land, and the experiment will be tried in other places along the creek. During every heavy rain, great chunks of mighty good land are washed down into the creek bed and carried off. In many instances the banks have been washed away to such an extent that the road had to be moved back and Mr. Grimm fears that if the washing is allowed to continue it will be only a few years until much of his good land is washed away. Cauble Creek was nothing but a plowed furrow about 35 years ago and it has washed out until now it is more than 100 feet wide in places and 40 or 50 feet deep."
