The promoters of the alleged project
for canal to connect the head of
Lake Superior with the Twin Cities
now admit that SO far as navigation is
concerned this pretense was simply "a
ruse to obtain friendly legislation for
big ditch in which to carry water
from the st. Lewis river to the big
bluff back of Duluth from which the
water is to fall To mills and factories
below and then be utilized as motive
power. The Duluth people doubtless
find this means of obtaining power faI
more expensive than the immense
plant with which it is proposed to
furnish power to the people of Superb
or by means OF "A wire cable extending
from the falls of the St. Louis to this
city, as the cost of such plant as the
one proposed with all wires required
| for distributing the power cannot
approach the cost of canal and the
pipes that would be required to con
vey the water to points where needed

Twenty years ago it was often true
that young man who drank beer
or wine, or even whiskey in modera-
ton, might be advanced to places OF
greater trust and responsibility. 1t
is now scarcely possible. do not
believe there is a single reputable
business house in Chicago where an
employee who drinks intoxicants OF
any kind has anything like an even
chance for promotion. The taking
of a single glass of beer may, and
often does mean, losing the chance
of a lifetime. Brainy boys and
young men, teetotalers from princi-
pie, are plenty enough to fill all the
places in the line of promotion

A prominent farmer of the town of
MaTtell stated the other day that if it
were not for the Moore Hill' he
could haul fifty bushels of wheat 10
River Falls, whereas at present forty
bushels constitute a load. No better
Illustration than this can be given of
the Importance and economy of good
roads. 1t is low estimate to say that
an average of twenty loaded teams
PASS daily over this hill towards the
city of River Falls during three hun
dred days each year, making total of
5000 loads, which is equivalent to
5000 days work. The hill can for a
few hundred dollars be so changed as
to give it grade no greater than is
found at other points on the Martell
TO al. This will save one trip out of
five or total saving to the farmers
living east of the hill of 200 days.
which at two dollars per day for men
and team means a saving of S2.400 in
one year. Improve that hill by all
means.

A Waterville farmer last season
raised small crop of sugar beets-
about so bushels. He informs us that
they were as easily raised as other
root crops and seem to be as good as
other roots for stock, if not little
better. a sample was sent to the De-
partment of Agriculturs at Washing
ton for examination au1 analysis.
The report returned shows that I'll ey
contained l4.S5 per cent. of sugar. and
that the yield would be over Is tons to
the acre. The probable yield of sugar
per acre is given at 1924 lbs, if manu-
factored by the best approved modern
processes. The beets used were the
Vilmorin variety. Quite a number of
farmers in this county raise the sugar
beet for stock. and from the Agricul.
tural reports on samples sent it would
seem that our soil and climate is well
adapted to raise them for manufactur.
ing into sugar.-Durdad Courier.
