E Carrying out their plan for a cam

feasibility Of diverting Bassett's creek

Citations conducted the members Of the
city council over the line of the pro-

necessary to accommodate the party. s
Placards bearing the legends "Save

were affixed to the sides of the ears
and served to make the purpose and
destination of the caravan: plain to all
these placrds might not have to work
alone, enthusiastic members of the joint
committee of the associations were in
each automobile, and maps and read
ing matter were freely distributed.
The route covered was practically
identical with that followed by the ex
plorlng party sent out two weeks ago.
1t included inspection of the proposed
channels between Calhoun and Lake Of
Isles and Cedar lake. From there the
party made it's way to Golden Valley.

the proposed ditch from Bassets IS creek

Impressions of the Trip.
The general impression made by the
trip may be, Indicated by the statements
Of several aldermen. ":% s-.e-
"I have always been in favor of
diverting Bassett s creek, said Alder
man Mumm. "The lesson Of this trip
is highly impressive and should, I think,
convince any fair-minded person that it
is perfectly feasible to turn Bassett s
creek into the lakes.'
"Now that I have been over the
ground. I am more than enthusiastic. -
said Alderman Platt B.~Walker. ."This
trip has been great eye opener. /
am fully convinced that the diversion
of Bassett's creek is both practicable
and feasible.' -
G. P. Lowell, former aldearman from
the fifth ward, said: 1T is no en-
geineeriing feat to turn Bassett's creek
into the lakes; It would be mere
be insignificant alongside Of some they
are digging in Anoka county now. -. -
~ ''I am a little more convinced that
the scheme.is feasible,' said Alderman,

to pass any final opinion, but I will adj

proposition looks good. AS to its de-
STABILITY, I am not yet ready to
speak, -.
Alderman Starkweather said he had
always supported the plan, and, of:
course, could not be further convinced
that it could be carried thru. !. !

BAND IS ENCOURAGED
BY BUSINESS FIRMS
OBERHoFFER MUSICIANS GET
SUBSTANTIAL BOOST.
Subscription Sale of Seats, Which Is
Literally Patronized, Is Extended in
Same Spirit which Prompted Raising
of Fund for Winter Concerts-Lst
of Subscribers.

In the last few days there has been in
process Of creation fund, from the
subscription sale of seats. which it is
believed will add materially to the sup
port now being given the Oberhoffer
Orchestral band at the Lake Harriet
pavilion roof. The various public
spirited business houses and individ-
uals who are placing their names on the
list are doing so thru a desire to assist
in maintaining great local musical or
ganization in summer as well as in
winter.
The Oberhoffer Orchestral band, fill
ing five weeks engagement at Lake
Harriet under the direction of the board
of park commissioners. is the summer
organization of the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra, to the guaranty fund
subscribed. 1t is partly because Mr..
Oberhoffer's IS band has been pronounced
the finest body of bandsmen ever as
sembled in the city, and partly be-
cause many of these bandsmen are SYM
phony players, who would not other
wise remain in the city, that the board
of park commissioners gives the organ
lZation its annual engagement at Lake
Harriet. 49, ..-.
Appreciate the Band.
Many of those placing their names
on the subscription list do so because,
while they often enjoy the concerts at
Lake Harriet, this is the only way they
can contribute to their support and
still remain in their automobiles or car
riages on the parade. Being distinctly
a Minneapolis organization and one
in which the city takes pride, the sup
port given thru subscription is crafty
ing both to the park commissioners and
to the members of the organization,
since it is a practical token of appre-
citation.
Among the concerns and individuals
now on the subscription list are the
following:
Peavey & Co.. Washburn- Crosby Co.,
New England Furniture & Carpet Co.,
Twin City Telephone Co., Northwestern

her fondness for mathematics from him.

THE NEGATIVE MIND.

There are people in very communi-
ty who seem to be possessed of mega
tive minds. They are against every
proposition that is proposed for the
general good, and they take pride in
expressing their disapproval and
showing cp the obstacles, feeling, no
doubt, that they are. gifted with
greater discernment than their CON
temporaries. Instead of being an
indication of superior intelligence,
it is in reality an indication of weak
ness and shallowness. There is no
credit due man for seeing Difficult
ties in the path of progress; we can
all see plenty of them. The man
who has the wisdom to see a way of
avoiding them and accomplishing the
desired end is the brainy man tho
public benefactor.
Oroakers and DIRECTORS are blocks
in the wheel of progress. They are
too idle or shiftless to furnish any of
the motive power, and they are con
tinually adding to the burdens of
those who are willing to work The
fewer a town has of them the better
off 1t ia. What is needed is more of
the progressive, go-ahead citizens
with the indomitable courage which
will not be downed, no matter what
difficulties may present themselves.
Let US as a oommunity cease to
admire the man who seeks to gain a
reputation for zagacity by obiecting
to everything that 10 proposed. He
ia.a nsgative quantity and neutralizes
lot of good. wholesome energy
which otherwise might leave its effect
for good.

brushing up against such wide awake,
progressive people as are to be found
in the towns and cities of southern
California. They have in great
measure discovered the elements of

In having class of public spirited
business men who are willing to lay
to one side their little personal in
terests and boost for the general good
when occasion requires. They can
see farther than the narrow circle of
selfish prejudices which are apt to
circumscribe the vision of so many
of us, and lay their foundations for
greater things In the future. They
have natural resources and advant-
ages so have we, but they have i'm
proved theirs while ours are lying
dormant.
Take for instance the matter of
irrigation: In southern California
irrigation is just as essential to the
production of crops as it is in south
ern Utah. Without it the whole
country is barren waste. Down on
the coast the precious fluid ia handled
as if|it we're truly the life blood OF
the country. Nearly all the irriga
tion water is piped to the head of the
land, and by means of stakes dis
tributed to the various burrows.
There are but few open bitches OF
canals, and these are usually paved
in order to prevent seepage. The
land for the most part is planted in
crops which offer the greatest returns
on the investment. That's why but
little grain is grown. In this country
II we we're producing fruits instead
of ten or twenty bushel AN acre grain,
we would be better off. What We
lack most is system and business
diplomacy, coupled with public
spiIitedness.
