W. B. McLACHLAN EXPLAINS
CONCERNING NAVIGATION
Takes Exception to Article Recently Published in Pioneer
Estates He Is Willing to Demonstrate That Missis.
sippi Is Nayigable South From Lake Bemidii

numerous people are building
summer homes on them. These
people must be entertained, and
to do my share of it I must have
the free use of our waterways,
which the law says I have
right to, and as [ pay personal
tax on my boats, I consider I
have just as much right to the
free use of the waterways of the
county as the stage lines have to
the county roads.
In regards to the river being
navigable, I would say here that
[ have carried seventy two people
across the bar spoken of and up
the Mississippi river at low
water and have proof of same;
have also crossed the bar in low
water with two cords of stone on
the boat, nearly fifteen tons. It
must be remembered that boats
can be built to run in shallow
water, and ouble-deck river
boat, $50 feet long, could run
over the bar and up the river in
low water, and to prove the above
assertion I will take the govern
ment officials on a tour of inspec-
tion in the spring to demonstrate
that the Mississippi. river at this
point is naviga ble, and cordially
invite any com mittee so inter-
ested to take that trip or any
other trip, for the "North Star"
will run up the river every day
this season after, the ice is out
and will carry freight and pass
engers.

cases which involve in all about
$4,000 to be tried there at this
term of court. These cases are
the famous boomage cases. In
these three cases the Rainy Lake
River Boom company are the de-
fendantsi in three separate actions
to recover boom ge charges. The
three companies who bring the
actions are the international
Boomage company, the Manakar
Lum Der company and the Shev
lin Matthieu Lumber company
In one case the international
Boomage company and the
Manakan Lum ber company bring
the action against the Rainy
Lake Boomage company. In the
other the Manakan Lum Der com
pany brings action alone and ir
the third case the Shevlin Mat

To Editor Pioneer
AS I have been criticised in
your paper by one of my fellow
citizens in regard to my action
against the corporations owning
bridges across the Mississippi
river, l would like to ask the
reasoning, nature-loving, law
abiding citizen Of our little city if
| am asking anything unreason.
able in demanding a clear pass
age through the Mississippi river
for my boat, the 'North Star. "
The people of Bemidji and visit
ors who want to enjoy themselves
on our lakes and rivers, and who
appreciate my efforts to carry
them on my boat through the
many beautiful bends of the
rivers and around the many
lakes, do not care to crouch down
on the deck of my boat, and have
the whole superstructure come
down over their heads, while I
am under the bridges.
Iti is, of course, to be regretted
that we have in our comm unity a
few citizens who do not care to
