FIGHT Is COMING
ON 1AWNEY BILL
Forest Reserve Land Measure
Will Be Opposed by Cass
Lake People.
Ry w. w. Ierr,ane.

= Washington, Jan. 31-Representa.
tive Tawney's bill for adjustment of
the boundaries Of the Minnesota for
est reserve will meet with decided OPP
position from the people of Cass Lake
and from some members of the Mime
sofa delegation, particularly Buchanan
A. G.. Barnard of Cass Lake, who
last winter, had the question Of restor-
ing the lands in the reserve to settle
1nent before Clifford Pinchot, said to-
day that the bill submitted BY Tawney
embodies the offer made to The people
of Cass Lake then, to restore about
$4,000 acres Of land to settlement and
fixing the boundaries of the reserve by
congressional enactment instead Of ex-
ecutive order, as at present. The offer
was rejected.
Representative Bede said to-day that
he would oppose the Tawney. bill as
being inimical to the interests of the
people of Cass Lake. He has suggest
ed the introduction of an amendment
providing for throwing open that por-
tion of the land the Cass lake people
want opened. -. 80 -
Bede has also suggested that the best
way to settle the differences in the dele
cation over this bill will be to. hold
caucus. This course was followed
wHeI1' Cne motifs D1ll-waS under discus
sion and the present law is the result
OF numerous conferences between the
delegation and officials Of the forestry
bureau. t=
1t is probable that Representative
Tawney will oppose a caucus. Tfe is
satisfied with his bill. He says it is the
best solution of the controversy and
will settle the strife which has been
going on since the reserve was estab-
lished -

EXTENSIVE SEWER
SYSTEM PLANNED
HALF. a MILLION DOLLARS rs ELS
ESTIMATED COST.
Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth and Thir-I
teenth Wards, Including Those in
Lake District, Will be Beneficial
Bond Issue VIII Probably Be Asked
from Next Legislature. N. s------ 81

plans for an extensive
sewer system for the-soathern part of
the city are being prepared by City En-
gineer Andrew Rnker with. the assist
ance OF Sewer Engineer Carl lllstrup.
1t will be by far the largest sewer
proposition ever undertaken in this city
and will involve an outlay of several
hundred thousand dollars.
The first requisite for the work will
be a large sewer fund, and this can
probably be obtained only by bond
issue. A movement for such an issue
has already been started, and when it
is presented to the state legislature it
will be backed by thousands Of tax
payers, as the system will be Of vast
and thirteenth wards, including those
in the lack district.
The area to be drained and supplied
with sewerage service comprises about
six square miles, or, to be more exact,
1920 acres, in the following wards:
seventh ward, 420 acres; eighth ward,
$50 acres; twelfth ward, 1900 acres;
thirteenth ward, 1850 acres. = ~
The main feature of the system will
be truck sewer about five and one-half
miles long, extending from the Mis-
sissippi river at Thirty eighth street
and terminating at Lake Calhoun on
Thirty-sixth street: The. course will be
along Thirty eighth street to Fifteenth,
thence over to Thirty seventh street,
to Park, and thence over to Thirty
sixth street to Lake Calhoun. At its
mouth the tunnel: will be ten feet in
diameter, and then gradually reducing
in size to six feet at Calhoun,
The cost Of this undertaking will be
approximately $3.50, 900, but the
branches to Linden Hills, ,Lynnhurst
CT 70 10 hn I'D will
run the grand total to twice those
