PRESS COMES DOWN
Reporters Will Have Desk on
Floor of House

The house of representatives yester-
day authorized its rules committee to
ascertain what accommodations could
be given the reporters of the daily
newspapers, not to exceed twelve in
number, on the floor of the house.
On resolution offered by A K
Ware, of Mortified, the house adopted
the suggestion to bring the reporters
down from their lofty perches in the
house gallery to the floor of the house
with but one dissenting vote. C. II.
Block, of Stearns, won fame by voting
in the negative.
Resolutions similar in tenor had been
prepared by r. T. Lewis and P. e.
bowling, of st. Louis, but were not
presented when the Ware resolution
had been adopted.
The rules committee, in company
with Vice President Charming Seabury,
OF the capitol commission, spent the
afternoon in testing the acoustics of the
house and evolving plan for the ac-
commodation of the reporters who are
engaged in the house. AS a result of a
meeting of the rules committee, it will
be recommended to the house at the
opening of the session today that the
seats Of four members in the northeast
corner OF the hall of representatives
be removed to the rear of the hall, and
that suitable table and chairs be pro-
Vlded for the accommodation of the
house reporters. To eliminate news
paper men who are not actually en-
ployed in reporting the proceedings of
the house, the rules committee will
specify the Twin City and Duluth
newspapers, whose reporters are to
have the freedom of the floor. The
house members who are to be changed
are said to be willing to move to the
back of the hall, where they can better
house.
The rules committee considered the
claims of three candidates for flag
raisers at the new capitol, but failed
to reach decision. Chairman Rockne
was instructed to ascertain if it is not
true that the flags over the new cap
itol are now raised each day, and,
IL so, by whom. The inference is that
the duty is being regularly performed
by some one of the capitol employees
and that the employment of a house
flag raiser is unnecessary.
j. G. Lemons resolution providing
for the reservation of one of the gall
leries of the house for relatives and
friends of members was agreed to, and
the west gallery will be recommended
for selection. Admission will be by
card from the sergeant-at-arms at the
request of members. The comrpittee
failed to recognize the suggestion of
Representative Lennon that Albert
Armstrong be appointed as sergeant
alarms of the private gallery and
guide about the new capitol.

PROPOSES SYSTEM TO
DRAIN THE SNAMPs
Representative Cole Aims to
Create Drainage Com
mission

A Dill of interest to Northern Mime
sofa counties is measure introduced
IN the mousse yesterday by Representa-
i've AL. Cole, of Cass, providing for
comprehensive system of drainage of
state swamp lands, and creating a state
drainage commission, to whom a report
Will be submitted by engineers not
later than Nov. 1, 1907.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
work is provided in the bill. The bill
when introduced yesterday was refer
RED 10 the drainage committee when
an effort to order it printed had failed.
The preamble to the bill recites that
oy Two grants of congress the state
was given 100000 acres of swamp
lands, of which 100000 still remain
the property of the state. The proceeds
OF the sales of the lands go to reclaim
ing other state swamp lands under the
congressional grant. The bill provides
Ior the appointment Of a permanent
drainage commission, consisting of the
governor, state auditor and secretary.
OF state, and they are authorized to
ascertain the number of acres which
can be drained, what drains are neces-
sary and the estimated cost of a drain
age system.
Plans for the Work
Iney are given power to employ civil,
hydraulic and Typographical engineers
TO prepare an accurate survey and plan
for a complete system of drainage. The
engineers are to furnish notes, maps
and plats, locations, length, width and
depth of each proposed ditch, and the
estimated cost of each ditch. The re-
port shall be the property of the state
and shall be filed with the commission
In time for the next legislature to make
an appropriation for carrying out the
work of Installing the drainage sys-
tenn.
Representative Cole says that strong
arguments for his bill will be made by
residents of the counties interested, and
who are familiar with the drainage
problem in Minnesota. He intimates
that state drainage, as now conducted,
has been done at random and without
any well defined plan. He says:
The state auditor says that 2,025, 200
acres of state swamp land exist i'll
Northern Minnesota and there is still
some unsurveyed land which is
sWampy. In the great swamp sections
are tracts belonging to private indi-
viduals, and while do not care to an
ticipate legislation, it is probable that
benefits from state drainage to this
land will be assessed to the benefited
property. Some of the state swamp
lands are as rich as the valley of the
Nile, but they are worthless and worse
than worthless in their present condi-

Has Worked Both Ways

Some state drainage which has been
done has resulted to the advantage of
certain lands and to the disadvantage
of other lands, for the water has been
drained off one section to be turned
loose on another. One state ditch
twelve miles long undertakes to drain
large area Of land into a stream al
ready taxed to it's capacity, and the
result Is that the ditch is bank full, and
at the best there is only very slow
and sluggish current My plan for a
state plan of drainage would effectual-
ly end this system Of drainage.
THE counties most interested in
drainage Of the great swamp areas are:
Aftkin, Carlton, Itasca, Beltrami, Ro-
seau, st. Louis, Clearwater and
Cass. Delegations from these counties
will come to st. Paul and will lay be-
fore the legislature the exact condi-
tons In each county much better than
can tell them. The land is fertile, but
now valueless and bar to civilization.
An instance is shown in Itasca county,
where resident of the northern part
OF the county must travel 700 miles in
the summer time to reach the county
seat because of the impossibility of
building roads through the swamps.
But what is done by the state to cor
rect the evil should be done intelli-
gently, and / believe my bill for a COM
sprehensive drainage system is a start
in the right direction
