down to the International boundary
line, distance Of about IS miles
along the course of this channel and
nearly double this distance by the
natural channel. This river is the
drainage outlet for nearly 200. 900
acres Of state swamp land.
At q meeting held In Ada, MINI, last
Saturday plans were considered for
the improvement of the channel Of the
Wild Rice river through the level
lands OF Norman county. The sur
vey demonstrates that in a distance of
20 miles along the course of this
stream cut-offs in the river could be
made at cost of about $4,000. 90
that would decrease the length of this
river to just one-third of its length by
its natural course.
The citizens of Ottertail and Wadena
counties have decided on having sur
veys and estimates made for the i'm
provement of Leaf river.
The citizens of Aitkin and Aitkin
county will ask congress to appro-
pirate $135,000.00 for making cut
of ditch in the Mississippi river in
their county.
The construction of this ditch would
prevent a recurrence of the very dis
astrous overflow of the Mississippi
river at this place which took place
In July, 1905, and caused the destruc-
ton of thousands of acres of growing
grain. meadows and pasture land and
swept away fences, buildings and
bridges. -
The construction of hundreds of
miles of drainage channels in the Red
river valley, all of which find an OUT
let through the Red river, makes the
question of the improvement of this
channel one of vital Importance to
every farmer living along this river,
also to the citizens of the centers of
trade, who depend upon these farmers
for their support.

STATE ENGINEERS SPEECH.
A. r. Fellows Makes Some Telling
Points On the Work Of His Office.
Following is synopsis of the adj
dress delivered this afternoon before
the drainage convention by State
Drainage Engineer A. r. Fellows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The general. subjest of drainage re-
minds me of the words of Wyoming
orator who was once introducing
friend of mine. He exclaimed with a
burst of Grafton, IF he is great who
can induce one blade of grass to grow
where but one grew before, how great
is he who can make two drops of wa
ter flow where but one flew before"
The subject of my friends address
was irrigation" but irrigation and
drainage are twin sisters and both
are depending upon the proper car
riage and control of water. In fact,
the ideal condition in farming is to
have the water under such perfect
control that sufficient amount can
be applied to the land, and then tho
surplus after the ground has been
sufficiently saturated be removed by
drainage. For these reasons under
ideal irrigation conditions drainage
system is always necessary adjunct.
That the subject under considera-
ton is one of vital interest to the state
as whole and especially SO to this
section of 1t, no one will deny for a
moment from study made of the con-
ditions prevailing in the Red river
valley in the state Of North Dakota
ascertained nv averaping tha nnmha,

wet to be harvested at the proper

after much of the grain had shelled
out. Furthermore the ploughing was
done when the ground was In poor

OF Rev. Frederick Spence from
the pastorate Of the First Methodist
Episcopal church in this city, to the
pastorate Q: the Methodist church,

score was 2 to 0 10 favor of the lum-

and Mccoy, the we'll known Canad-

jacks. The score at the end OF the

the department. The move on the
part of the Eveleth council is in
the nature of a testimonial to the
fire boys, as they also receive pay
for time at fires and practice. Dur
ing the year just passed, the Ely
department received for their SER
vices, including practices, the sum
of $76l.25 which for the 80 men in
the department averages $25.37
each, mere pittance considering
the work accomplished. Eleven
fire alarms were answered and
eight practices were had during
the year. Figuring the pay re-
ceived by the boys for the season
it means that each secured about
$1.33 every time they were called
out. Taking into consideration
your clothes after each fire and
practice, the money spent for
cleaning and pressing, we would
like to know where the benefit OF
belonging to the department comes
in. And yet some people who
should have more sense stand
around and claim that the boys
work for the money there is in it,
