/ The advance in wages asked by the
miners was defeated by a unanimous
vote of the operators, The demand of
the operators that the Illinois miners

law was unanimously defeated by the
miners. Then the miners refused to

The operators voted for the motion

The bituminous miners also declare
that the railroad companies are gradu-

made the anthracite fields a hot-bed
OF strikes for the last five years.
An argument issued by the miners
to prove that they will eventually Sc.

Has Dire Possib Titles,

Judges and attorneys are badly wor-
ried over the possibilities that lie in
the new code; No one outside the ed
itor feels certain as to what it con-
tains. and there Nare many rumors
afloat One attorney for firm being
sued by the state for timber trespass
says he will file a demurrer after
March l., alleging that all district
judges in the state are legislated out
of Office by the code: FL
Many questions will arise fas to
legislation passed after the code was
passed. Some of this repealed pro-
visions put in the code, and it is a
question what the effect will be. The
code has a provision saying it does not
repeal anything previously passed by
the same legislature. Some authori-
ties say that the, provision is worth
less. as only the courts can say wheth-
er one law repeats another.
Changes in the penal code are un-
derstood to be slight, but they cause
some nervousness. One southern Min
nesota county begins term of court
next Monday. The grand jury wih
begin business under the old law, but
on Thursday everything will switch
to the code. and copies Of the code will
not reach them in time for proper
study. Cases continued in the court
have been started under the old law
and will be finished under the code. a
multitude Of appeals may be expected.

is FATHER OF
DRAINAGE
Judge E. N. Bennett Of sIsston, $. D.,
Talked Of This Scheme Of Drainage
More Than s5 Years Ago-wn Ad.
dress Convention Tomorrow.

Judge f. M. Bennett of Sisston, S.
D., delegate to the. international
drainage conference in this city, is
the father, grand father, uncle and
aunt to drainage in the Red river val
ley. More than 25 years ago he first
began to agitate the question of a
waterway from the Gulf of Mexico to
Hudson Bay, incidentally to take care
of the surplus water in the Red river
valley. He proposed series of reser-
voires and dykes, which would hold
the surplus water In the wet seasons
and release it during the season of
drought for. the purposes of naviga-
ton. This water way was to be up
the Red river to Lake Traverse,
through canal from that lake to
Bigstone lake and thence down the
Minnesota and Mississippi river.
He still believes that it is the only
way in which to secure the drainage
of the valley. With Otter TAIL,
Traverse, Bigstone and Red Lake for
reservoirs, the problem of floods in the
valley is solved. Judge Bennett will
address the convention tomorrow and
elaborate his plan more fully.

MUST INVESTIGATE
BEFORE PLANS
ARE MADE
Feeling Among Drainage Elk.
perts That Meeting Tonight
Will Be Preliminary.

There is a feeling among the drain
age experts who will be in the city
tonight at the call of President John
M. Cashel of the North Dakota Drain
age league from North and Sonth Da-
kota, Minnesota and the province of
Manitoba, that little can be done at this
time other than to discuss general
plans and organize. An executive
committee. will probably be appointed
and steps taken to have report made
to an adjourned meeting of the organ
iZation.
The 20 delegates will probably Or
ganize league and elect officers, APP
point committees, etc., and get in shape
to do some substantial work in the
near future. There will be informal
discussions, but it is not probable that
the engineers and experts present will
feel in position to formulate a plan
and stake their professional reputation
on it without further investigation.
The plan of some of the delegates will
be to appoint a committee of engineers
and experts to thoroughly investigate
the matter and draw up plan Of
drainage and plans to prevent the
overflow of the Red river. The con-
ference will adjourn to meet in 80
days or two months and make their
report.
This plan is approved by George A.
Ralph of Crookston, state drainage en-
gineer of Minnesota. He arrived in
the city this morning and after care
full consideration of the above plan, be-
lieves that it is the only one feasible
at this time.
President John NJ. Cashel of Grafton
arrived in the city last evening and he
also favors the plan, although he IS
anxious to have the present body do
all that they can now and then adjourn
to meet at some future date and re-
ceive the report of the experts.

in ranges rs and &c, which are in the
shed of the Big Fork river. In this
particular is to be found what is
known as the "divide'-the point
where the waters flow to the south and
to the north. The highest point will
be exactly the dividing line of slope,
but just where that is the engineers
have not discovered yet.
Deer Rivers Elevation 1,292 Feet.
One important figure Mr.. Ralph has
established, and which Deer river peo-
pie should know and remember, is
the elevation of this village above the
level of the sea. At the center of the
crossing of the Minneapolis & Rainy
River and the Great Northern rail-
roads the elevation above sea level is
1892 feet.
There is great variance, Mr.. Ralph
says. in the elevations between here
and Turtle lake, some places being
hundred feet different in the short dis
lance OF one mile. The elevation in
this general section will range from
1900 to 1,400 feet above the sea.
Mr.. Ralph says his men have not
found poor slope in the fifteen towns
surveyed this week, which means that
the drainage of them will be easily
accomplished. He says every ditch
will have grade of from three to ten
feet to- the hundred. The engineers
have been greatly aided in their work
here for profiles and topography fur
Eished them by the Minneapolis &
Rainy River railroad people.
The party will be here all of next
week and will then move to Flood
wood and work from there to the
Little Fork river.

REQUESTS FOR PERMITS.
Superintendent Casey Remains Firm
5i In. Refusing.

/. d
i. Crookston journal: Although every
day brings a large number of requests
to Supt. Casey requesting him to grant
permits to those who have failed in
passing the teachers examinations, he
has remained firm upon the point and
has granted none as yet. +.
Mr.. Casey feels that; until those who
hold certificates are supplied with
schools It would be an injustice not
only to them but to the school districts
II permits were granted.
Even old friends have had to be re-
fused and while nearly all are willing
to accept his explanation and see the
reason. It is hard to refuse permits ia
many cases.
At present there are forty teachers
who have not been supplied with
schools and Mr.. Casey believes that he
will be able to furnish every one of
the schools with teacher holding a
state certificate.

The mixture consists in a combination
of Portland cement and Clipped mar
