Crookston, Mimi. Aug. 22.-Accord-
ing to well-authenticatei reports, a
canal to connect the Lake of the
Woods with Lake Superior is pro-
jected, and the man said to be behind
the scheme Is Lyman w. Cooley, who
age canal.
The plan, SO far as it has been out
lined. Is to dig canal from the Lake
Of the Woods to Otter Tail lake, which
is almost due south of this place, then
to follow the Leaf river through Wa
dena to junction with the Mississippi,
thence to Mile Lac, and from there
by the most convenient route to Lake
Superior.
State Drainage Engineer George
Ralph says: IF the canal is built, It
will mean more to the development Of
the northwest than anything which
has been done for years."
The men who are behind the scheme
are interested in vast iron deposits
which are known to exist on the north
shore of the Lake of the Woods, and
which cannot be worked at present be-
cause of their inaccessibility.
The canal would also skirt the
Mesaba range and give shippers on
that range facilities for shipping ore
directly from the mines by water route,
either down the Mississippi or to the
east.
The fact that a. surveying party is
In the field mapping cut a route for
the proposed canal has been kept a

has been going on practically all sum-
mer, the fact has only now become
