HENNEPIN AVENU E IS

In the opinion Of Judge Daniel Fish

Propositions .- To Continue Work
Near Minneapolis.

= s. s. 49, L [. :
AS a result of the action Of the board
Of engineers for rivers and harbors, at
Washington, D., G., it is probable but
little of the special work planned for
the northwest by the United States en-
gineers at St. Paul will be carried. out.
Already much Of the work suggested by
Major Derby has been turned down,
and still further turndoWns'' are in
sight. Yet there will be enough work
on the Mississippi: and it's tributaries
to keep large corps of men at work
next season in the employ Of Uncle
Sam.
Major Derby recommended to the
board survey work on Little Fork, Big
Fork, Red River Of the North, st. Croix
and Rainy rivers for the coming sea-
son. y The board already has turned
down the Rainy and Red river propo-:
sitions, and it is believed will take like
action relative to the Big and Little
I Fork rivers, which are admittedly less
| important than the two projects al
ready disapproved:
| To Rush Dam Work.
| Work is to be pushed as soon as
spring breaks on the government docks
and dams. Lock Mop is complete ex-
cept for repairs to the. flooring Of dam
age caused. by high water. Thirty to
sixty days will see 4 this damage re-
paired. The use Of this. lock will give
a channel four feet deepssto the foot
Of Washington avenue, Minneapolis. To
be sure, this channel will in places have
very swift current for boats to con
tend with, and will be little narrow,
but the completion Of lock No. will
better4these conditions; will deepen the
channel to five feet, widen it and dc.
crease the current. The high water Of

Claim That Names Attached to Reso.
luton Favoring Cass Lake Forestry
Reserve Are Not Genuine Said to Be

The Commercial clubs of Minneapolis
and st. Paul are preparing reply to
the recent charges made by Bishop
James D. Morrison of Duluth to the eff
feet that forged Indian signatures were
attached to the joint resolution of the
clubs favoring the preservation of the
Cass lake forestry reserve.
The memorial favoring the reserve
was forwarded to the Minnesota con-
gressmen, as was the charge that the
signatures were not authentic. The
signatures were not part of the mem
orial but were made part of the gen.
eral correspondence accompanying the
resolution.
The clubs In the answer to the
charges will inform the Minnesota con-
gressmen that these names formed no
part Of the memorial and that the ques-
ton Of their genuineness in no way af-
fects the opinion and feeling Of the two
organizations.
True Inwardness of Scheme.
It is said that the scheme of attack
ing the signatures is merely part of
the campaign that is being carried on
against the reserve. Certain Duluth
men who have town sites and other in
terests in the Cass Lake region wish to
have the reserve abolished and the land
opened for settlement. G.. e.. Hatley OF
/ Duluth is one Of those mentioned, an
other being the son Of Senator Moses
E. Clapp.

credit the effort Of the twin city or
CARNATIONS favoring the reserve
Friends of the reserve now say tina
they can prove that the signature

the Indian missionary preacher Of Cas-
4 Lake, who asserted that they were gen

Clapp, went to Cass Lake and endeav
