The question of the drainage of the
Red river valley was discussed at a
convention held at Fargo this week,
and will be continued at another meet
ing to be hela at Grand Forks May 10,
at which delegates from all parts of
the Red river valley will be in attend
sance. At the Fargo meeting prom
inent men from all parts of the valley
expressed themselves on the subject,
Canadians as well as. Americans. The
plan favored by all of the speakers was
that outlined by the report made to
the government several years ago by
Engineer Jones. This plan provided
for three reservoirs at BibStone Lake,
Lake Traverse and Red Lake. The
work as outlined in this report would
cost in the neighborhood of from $780,
900 to 100000. The plan of asking
the present congress for an appropri-
alton to cover the cost of the work was
also favored. Committees were APP
pointed before the meeting adjourned
