MacLean's movements were conduct
ed so cleverly that he could never be
held until now; he always made the
technicalities of the law cover his OPP
erations, out the Department Of Justice
has been gathering evidence through
the personal direction OF Chief Wilkie

evidence that led to his indictment

now the piratical course of Captain

him in its grip. 1t remains to be seen
whether his luck will again serve him

ment's evidence will be strong enough
to shackle him.

Can GROW ALFALFA
judge Searle Successfully
Grows the Great
Stock Food

There has been more or less specula-
tlon as to whether Minnesota farmers
can successfully raise alfalfa, says the
St. Cloud Journal Press. Numbers of
experiments have been made. the ma"
jority of which have not been ve:y
succcessful, and there has grown out
of these trails somewhat general i'm.
preston that alfalfa cannot be grown
in this country.
Judge D. B. Searie has today on his
Pleasant laKe farm q few acres of this
grass, and which can he considered a
success. The seed WAS sown three
years ago. and the first year following
it was not thick enough to kill out the
weeds, and the crop was not great
yield. Each year since, however. it
has thickened and ia low in good CON-
dition. One crop has been harvested
this season and the second crop is in
blossom II is probable that in another
year it will be even better than tDis.
Anyhow. i: has been demonstrated
that alfalfa will successfully winter in
this country, and once fairly started
will take care of itself, and become 8
profitable crop.
Alfalfa should be seeded much
thicker than other grasses, 80 that
the fi1st year 1t will completely cover
the groond aud kill out the weeds. Il
is grass which will improve the
land. much as does the big red clover,
which our farmers are raising il
greater quantities each year, and
which will produce we'll all through
central Minnesota.
Minnesota is we'll adapted to stock
raising, and the addition TO oul
grasses of 40 good stock food as alfalfa
will be in itself an additional wave Of
prosperity for our farmers.

CONNECT ROCK ISL and
Capt. Reed Tells Albert Lea
Paper That Road
May Connect

In recent interiew with the AL
bert Lea Times regarding the prog
ress of the work, Capt. Reed said
that he Is ccnsldering the advisability
of continuing the line east from the
Vanderbilt farm to the Rock Island
railway. His principal object in this
it seems is to secure cheaper right-of-
way and easier grading He regards
the use Of the NJ. & St. l.. tracks
from the Vandegrift farm to the city
as merely temporary and states that
his road will probably find it neces-
sary to complete its line into me city
90 it can run its trains in and out
over its own roadbed and thus save
the rental charge and delay incident
to the switching of and on to the St.
Louis track at the Vanderbilt farm.
Asked if he thought the road would
be completed and trains in operation
by January let Capt. Reed stated
that he believed this could be done
and that he intended to hold E. L.
Tobie & Co. to the terms of their con-
tract which calls for q completed road
and trains in operation by January /,
1906. Tobie & Co. have given the
company a United States Guaranty
Co. bond in the sum of 800. 900 for
the faithful discharge Of the terms Of
their contract, and Capt. Reed says he
considers time one Of the important
obligations Of the contract.
1t is understood, on the other hand,
that the contractors were delayed in
their building operations by the com.
pany itself. It seems quite clear that
even though Tobie & 60. may sue
coed in getting trains through to
Mankato this winter. the road. cannot
now be entirely finished until another
season, owing to the fact that con-
struction work commenced the last of
July instead of the first of May as
was originally planned.

THE UPPER RESERVOIRS
Major Derby Tells Of the
Work That is Being

AOB1S
The Mississippi river has again been
rising at Aitkin. Editor Krech of the
Aitkin Independent wrote to Mr.. Geo.
Derby, who is in charge of the gov.
eminent reservoirs, and received the
following reply, which will be OF in
terest:
United States Engineer Office,
Custom House,
St. Paul, MIMI,
August 10, 1905
Mr.. Freeman E. Krech.
Aitkin, MINI.
Dear Sir:-Your letter o. the 9th
Instant Is at hand. I regret to learn
that the amount Of water in the river
is causing embarrassment at Aitkin
and you can rely upon everything be-
ing done that is physically possible to
Keep the present rise as low as pos.
sible-as heretofore.
You are probably aware that I have
beeen holding back the waters of the
upper Mississippi at Leech Lake,
Lake Winnibigoshish and Pokegama
Falls reservoirs since May 20th,
when the food began at Aitkin, and
l have impounded since that date,
and still hold, upwards of %, 200, :
coo. 600 cubic feet of water. Since
July 29th, when the river ar Aitkin
had fallen to within it's banks,
have been endeavoring to draw off
some of this accumulated water from
the Pokegama and Winnibigoehish
reservoirs which are both more than
full, but as yet have only succeeded
in running off the rain that has fallen
since that date, It is not practicable
to undertake to store in either of the
above reservoirs ally more than we are
now holding, 80 am obliged to let
them overflow.
1t unfortunately happens that a
neavy rise has been coming out of
Prairie river for the last week which,
added to the reservoir water from the
Pokegama, causes the present rise at
Aitkin. I am informed that the
Prairie is now falling at it's head
waters. so that the rise at Aitkin
should be of short duration-if it will
quit raining for few days.
l see no prospect IF being able to re-
duce the flow from the reservoirs for
several weeks. In spite Of the present
heavy discharge, 1900 cnbic feet per
second, the waters continue to flow
into Pokegama reservoir little faster
than I am drawing it out, and the
same condition prevails at Winni-
bigoshish. The Mississippi continues
to rise at both Deer River and Cass
Lake. At Leech Lake I am still able
to hold all that comes from it's water
shed of 1853 square miles, and at
Sandy Lake likewise. The rainfall and
corresponding runoff are heavier this
year than any time since records have
been kept, since 1872. The only. COM
fort to be derived from the situation
is that bao as the food has been this
year at Ait8in, 1t would have been
fully three feet worse had not the
reservoirs held back the vast volume
they have impounded since May Goth.
The guage at Aitkin went to 16. SO
feet July 9Th. but it would have gone
to 20 feet but for the reservoirs.
With best wishes, I am,
Very truly yours,
GEO. McC. DERBY.
