DAM AUTHORIZED
BY CONGRESS
Red Lake River Dam in Polk
County an Assured
Fact.

Last week the Sheaf told of the
project to construct an immense
power..plant in the town Of Louisville
thirteen miles east of Crookston at
an expense of half a million dollars.
The building Of the dam had to be
authorized by congress and this has
been done the past week and work
will be commenced as soon as the
season opens.
The project is backed by substan-
tial capitalists and the money: for
carrying the project to completion
has been provided. =
The plan is to furnish electric light
and power to the cities Of Crookston
and East Grand Forks and other
towns in the valley as circumstances
will demand. An electric train SER
vice between the more important
points is a possibility when the plant
has been fully developed. "
With the exception of the water
power at International Falls, and. at
Taylors Falls, near the twin cities,
this will be the largest power plant
in the state. It's effect on the EIDE
velopment of this part Of the valley
will be very great. 1t will aid: in
the establishing Of manufacturing
plants that are now impossible4 on
account of the cost Of fuel and fur
nish conveniences to towns and farm S
that will materially increase values.

HOMESEEKERS'
EXCURSIONS
The Season of 1906 to be Marked
by Larger Western Move
ment Than Before.

The great movement OF home
seekers to the rich agricultural lands
of Minnesota, the DakOtas and
Western Canada, which the railroads
inaugurated some six or seven years
ago by naming low rates over the
vast area of country, will receives a
tremendous impetus when the sea-
sons rates are announced next Tues
day.
A rate Of one fare for the round
trip, plus 81, will apply over all the
territory within l, 600 miles of Min
neapolis, including the states of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska which have furnished many
thousands of land buyers during the
past few years
Far outside the territory indicated
cheap rates will prevail after next
Tuesday. 50 that the homeseeker
from Ohio. Pennsylvania. Georgia
or Arkansas can journey TO the
Northwest and look the country over
for a small outlay of money.
And a most gratifying feature in
connection with these hOmeseekers'
rates is the fact that they are open
to everybody. Every man, no mat
ter what may be his purpose in visit
ing the Twin Cities, can secure
homeseekers ticket without resort
to subterfuge or ''scalping" tactics.
The law says that the railroads can
not discriminate. and the knowledge
Of this legal dictum which the rail-
roads possess enables every man to
avail himself of the reduced rates.
The first movement will begin next
Tuesday. and the rates will be etfec
tive thereafter on the first and third
Tuesday in each month until the sea-
son closes. All indications point to
a remarkable showing on the part of
the roads in the matter Of handling
homeseekers' business. Every pas
senger official is confident that the
movement will fal exceed that of
last year. and will be the heaviest in
the history Of the Northwest.
At times last season. as many as
1900 homeseekers poured through
Minneapolis in single day on their
way to the rich lands of Minnesota
and the Dakotas. They came from

all the adjoining states, from New
York, Maine, Kentucky, South Caro-
lina,. The majority of them, how
ever, were western farmers, sons OF
Well-to-do farmers in the older
agricultural states like Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin,, who
had money and knew exactly what to
do with it. They were practical
farmers who began going into the
western country with mighty rush
gone eight or nine years ago, and
who have accomplished more in
bringing their farms up to a high de-
gree of efficiency than their fathers
had been able to do in lifetime.
''There will be more homeseekers
than ever this season. said we'll
known passenger official. "And
while there is no longer an abundance
of land to be had for the asking, the
immense fortunes which have been
made in farm lands has shown how
valuable thing they are. Lands
have doubled in price within the last
few years, and the farmers OF Iowa
and Illinois who are pouring into our
country know it, They sell out the
800 an acre farm at the old home
and come North with the money to
buy better land for third Of the
money. There is no doubt Of this.
1t is being done every day.
"Any one who has observed the
crowded condition Of country hotels
in Minnesota and North and South
Dakota this year will appreciate that
there is tremendous development
going on everywhere. The talk is all
of land. Not cheap land, but good
farming..land which purchasers must
pay the price for. But these prices,
like Minneapolis real estate. are still
low in comparison with the fine
transportation facilities and excel
lent markets afforded for farm pro-
duce of all kinds the new lands are
daily increasing in value"
Editor Carr, of the Middle River
Pioneer, has the following kind
paragraph in his current issue:
The new hospital at Warren has just
been completed. The Warren profess
sional and business men who have
promoted and pushed the institution
to a successful finish are certainly
deserving of the gratitude and thanks
of the whole county. That the hos
pital is a credit to it's builders and
the county is evidenced by the follow
ing description of it taken from the
Warren Sheaf.

COMMITTEE GETS cHEsTY.
Will Defy the Senate Matters of Light
 house Appropriation.

Washington, January 5.-The House committee on interstate and foreign com merce decided today to defy the Senate in connection with all the lighthouse measures and similar bills which must be passed on by the committee It has been the practice of the House to frame these measures in such a way that sum of money was not specified, but not to exceed a certain amount, is to be used for this particular improvement. The Senate invariably has changed such bills so they appropriate q fixed amount This sys- tenn is regarded by the members of the House sub-interstate and foreign com merce committee as being conducive to reckless expenditures and the members of the committee will refuse to accept q bill hereafter, and petition the Senate to adopt measures which will encourage the completion of work at the lowest possible cost and the saving of balances which may remain.
 This action of the House committee is in line with the general opposition which the body is offering to what is declared to be the encroachment of the Senate upon it's right.

TAKING SOUTHERN
 NEGROES FOR WORK
ISTHMlAN CANAL COMMISSION HAS AGENTS IN SOUTH WHO PLATTER LABoRERs WITH OF FERS OF HIGH WAGES.

Washington, January 5.-(Special.) )-The inthmian canal commission is beginning to look to the south to furnish laborers for the canal. An official statement re- gently issured by the commission calls at tention to the plan to import laborers from Spain, but at present there are agents in the south gathering up negroes for the isthmus. One hundred of them were taken from New Orleans but a week or ten days ago and if the plans of the commission are carried out more will fol- low
 This question was raised by southern employers of labor soon after the first canal commission was created. At that time 1t was pointed out that the south ern negro was well qualified to do the work on the big ditch, because he was used to working in the sun and because he was supposed to be more or less im- mune from yellow fever and other tropi- cal diseases This was the eommissions s view of the matter but the southern em- ployers objected because they have trou- ble enough getting the negro to work as 1t is and because they know that the agents of the commission could tempt many negroes away with fiattering offers of high pay on the isthmus.
 As result of these objections it was declared that the commission would go elsewhere for it's laborers and would leave the southern negro alone.
 Now they are going back on this, and two agents have recently been working in and around New Orleans with considera- ble success.

 A. Maxcy Hitler said late today that he would establish an alib when the proper time came, but refused to discuss the mysterious case further
 The witnesses in the inquest today were Charles Hitler and Margaret Reynolds, the latter servant in the house where MT. Edwards was killed No statement was given out as to the purpose of their evidence.
 One of the interesting developments during the day and what at first looked to be important was that MT. Charles A Hitler had turned over two pistols to the coroner for his inspection, the eoro- ner later giving them to a gunsmith. 1t has since developed that the weapons were onld-fashioned firearms, which had were old-tasnloned nrearms, which had Ter homestead for years. The theory that the fatal shot was fired with one of these pistols is not seriously entertained by the police.
 Although the police have not given up the hope of finding the weapon which caused the death of MT. Edwards they are convinced that it is nowhere about the Hitler homestead.
 Today the coroner ordered the search there discontinued
 The body of Edwards was taken to New York today.
