ATTENTION BOOSTERS

Spokane, Wash. Aug. 29.-One
of the most important movements
ever started in the Pacific north.
west is the convention which has
been called to meet in Spokane,
Sept. 25, during the Spokane In
terstate fair, to which all the COM
mercial bodies in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana have
been invited to send delegates. G..
B. Dennis, chairman of the public.
ity committee of the Chamber of
Commerce and Theo. B. Wilcox,
chairman of executive committee
of the Portland Commercial club
have issued the call, which has
been widely published by the
press in the Pacific northwest.
Many of the leading commercial
bodies have already signifed their
intention of sending delegates and
to assist in every way possible with
the work. The call says:
THE purpose of this gathering is
to bring together the representa-
tive men of the most prosperous
section of the United States, and
after thorough consultation,
unite upon plan to advertise the
actual resources, and not to ex-
plot the peculiar advantages of
any of the cities. Every city and
town in the four states 10 equally
interested in securing the home
builder, for it is only through in
creased population that we can de.
velop these tremendous resources. ;"
The railroad will grant low rates
to all delegates. One line OF work
for the convention will be to take
steps to induce the legislature in
the four states interested to make
appropriations for advertising the
northwest.

The Drainage Convention.

The drainage convention that met
at Grand Forks on Wednesday, Feb
ruary %, was well attended and was
an exceptionally businesslike assem-
bly,.
A, series Of dams, making reservoirs
to control the water of the Red river,
was the scheme favored by the con-
vention. 1t was recommended that
dams be constructed at Otter Tail
lake and at the outlet of:Red Lake.
A canal connecting Lake Traverse
with Big Stone lake, so as to lowe,
the water level in the Red river, is
also favored. -.s...,

The cost of the contemplated pro.
jects is estimated at about $3.50, OOC
of which the United States will be
expected to pay about 1876, 600 and

A new ELECTRIC
POWER PLANT
The Second Largest Power Plant
in the State to be Built ~
in Polk County.

= The Crookston Times brings the
details of a gigantic scheme to +
harness the Red Lake River, in the
town of Louisville, Red Lake County,
for the purpose of developing electric
power to be distributed for manufac-
turing, heat and light to the different
cities of the valley.
Senator Stephens holds the deeds
for the lands at the site of the pro-
posed dam. The plan is to make a
power with 80 or more feet of head
and this will cause the overflow of
considerable land and damages will
be avoided by buying all the land
likely to be submerged.
The estimated horse power to be
obtained is 10000, and the cash out
lay necessary tothe completion of the
plans is between 100000 and $780,
600.
The intention is to go at the con-
struction work at once and have the
power ready for service in 1907, or
the year after at the latest.
The water power to be developed
will be the second largest in size in
the state of Minnesota. The Koochi-
ching power is greater, but it is not
fully developed. There will be moth
ing to compare with it in northern
Minnesota, the big plant at Taylor's
Falls being the only one that exceeds
it in capicity.

High School Notes.

Spring vacation comes the last
week Of March this year.
Senior meeting again! Must be
something Of Importance.
T One of-the juniors enjoyed nap
for: few minutes Wednesday after
noon, but very unfortunately was
awakened by the bell announcing
dismissal.
Some of the students had rather
long faces when the returns from the
examinations were received, ~
The seniors have decided to play
1.-The Miller's Daughter, in place
OF "The Rivals.'' They will begin
work on the play Immediately.
This is a drama in four acts, with
thirteen characters, seven male and
six female. The same number as the
senior class.
There will be a game of basket
ball Saturday, at o'clock p. NJ, be-
tween the Ada and Warren teams.
Miss Ella Holum, of Kerkhoven,
Minn., arrived Saturday to take
charge of the fifth grade, which be-
came vacant on the death of Miss
Noble. She is graduate of the St..
Cloud Normal.
There is now room for five year old
children at the Washington, school,
in Miss Woods room. Parents wish
ing their children to start school
should send them to the Washington
school as the primary room in the
high school is filled to the limit.
Nothing has been heard of our
dignitied alumnus since the sopho.
more sleigh ride. Wonder if he has
left town.
'"There is no one looking, let US
do it now," seems to apply to few
of the students in the high school
lately.
The German class has commenced
reading "lmmensee. -
Students in the high school ar<
thinking of organizing a track team
this year instead of having bast
ball team. There is good material
for either of them but it is as yet :
question which to chose. - p
A challenge from the Warren Busi
ness College bowling team to tn,

Likely it will be accepted and th'

A company has been incorporated
at Pierre, S. D., which has for it's
object the building of railroad from
Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico. A
north and south line would facilitate
the exchange of products of warm
and cold climates and will follow, it
would seem, the natural channel of
trade. The development Of this
country, and in fact of the whole
world, has been from the east to the
west, and hence artificial routes of
trade have in the past generally fol-
lowed that course.

500 line SEED Il. j.
TRAIN COMING
The Good Seed Special Of the
500 Line Will be in Warren
Tuesday, March II.

The Sheaf is happy to announce
that the petition to the management
OF the 500 line to send their "Good
Seed Special to Warren, has been
acted on favorably and that the train
will be here on Tuesday, March q,
at noon and will stop here for a
couple OF hours. The men who &C.
company the train in the capacitv
OF specialists and experts are men
who will speak from experience, not
theory. 1t will be short institute
course, the topics being 'good seed.''
Every farmer in the county who can
reach Warren should be present and
should get into the "front row" if,
possible. .. -
The good seed train is now general
ly recognized as one of the most sue
cessful ventures ever attempted for
the education of the farmers as to
the necessity of using nothing but
the best seed obtainable for all crops.
Good seed is the most important
asset of good farm; indeed a good
farm cannot be sown with poor seed
and be prosperous for any length of
time. Cheap seed will often come up
as quickly as higher price grade,
but in the fall there is invariably
vast difference between the yields of
the two; in wheat one will get al
most nothing while the other will
produce from 20 to 25 bushels to an
acre. One will cause all kinds of
trouble in ripening because of it's
weak constitution, and the other
will grow almost as hardy as a weed.
The train, is thoroughly equipped
in every way to illustrate this differ
ence in quality, eminent specialists
accompany i to give short lectures
on the subj It and to answer quest
ions which anyone is at liberty to
ask. ...- -
No farmer should miss this chance
as it is the only one to be given them
this year. 1t means dollars and
cents to him, and the opportunity
does not present itself every day.

Who WANTS TO Be
A MAGNATE?
Base 3 Ball Fans Looking For Az
Il Angel for a Base Ball
Club Here.

The papers of Thief River Falls
and Crookston are getting a Red
River Valley league in shape for a
lively base ball schedule this coming
season. The Northern League seems
to be q dead one and even if it can
be galvanized into life for one more
year it is doubtful if Crookston will
have a team in it.
The Thief River papers are work.
ing for league composed of that
city, Crookston, Ada, Warren, Ar
!gyle, Stephen and Hallock. They
have a good ball park over there and
2 lot OF enthusiastic fans and are
willing to take it up with the other
Towns to see what can be done.
n The Crookston Journal suggests
3taking in Bemidji and have each town
agree to have about four paid players
on its team. The amateur men on
the teams would make it much more
interesting for most people and they
would patronize the game even better
then they would a league team.
The Crookston Times says that a
game has already been arranged fo1
May. 10, between that city and Thief
River Falls.
II is about time that something be
done If the scheme is to mature in
season. Warren would undoubtedly
patronize a series of good games well
but would not care to take part in
a string of rag chewing concerts.
Local experts say that it will take
something like Thousand dollars tc
keep a good team in the field fol
three months and that this amount
could easily be raised through local
lgate receipts provided they did not
have to divide with places that rur
behind. " s.,
Tie fans should have meeting
land make some sort of decision
whether or not they want to get in
to league this season and also Civ,
their opinion on what towns they
would favor for circuit. ..%

A Beaver Colony in Polk County

That there are all kinds of competi-
tion in the building of dams in the
section of the country is evident es-
pecially in the Red Lake river, the
latest being one that is in the way
of construction by beavers about
three miles up the river from Gentil-
ly bridges.
Beavers have not been seen in this
section of the country for years be-
fore and the colony that immigrated
there this winter and have been on
the still work ever since have caused
no little sensation among the farmers
in that section.
They have already felled trees in
section where they are very thick,
clearing place nearly as large as
the average town block, leaving not
stick on that area. The trees are
first felled in the direction nearest
the river and are then cut into pieces
about the length of ordinary stove
wood. Those who have watched the
operations of the little animals state
that every thing is done in a most
systematic manner, each animal hav-
ing his work to perform. After the
trees are cut up they are then rolled
up over the tail onto their back and
carried under the water, where they
are placed in the framework of the
dam. After the framework has been
constructed it is then made water
tight by plastering mud in the Gre
vices, using the tail as a tool for this
work. The work is well advanced in
the construction and will undoubted-
ly be finished by the time that the
ice leaves the river in the spring.

with every kind of weapon, and about
