Minnesota River.

st. Peter-Anticipating action by
the legislature in regard to the i'm
provement OF the Minnesota river,
George A. Ralph, state drainage en-
gineer, has prepared a set Of maps
covering all surveys made of that
river. The improvement of the Min
nesota has been q subject OF much
discussion for several weeks, and the
indications are that this will be crys-
tallized by action in the coming legis-
lature.
If the legislature sees fit to appoint
committees to investigate the subject,
Mr.. Ralph will be able to give them
full information concerning the course
of the stream, the nature of the sur
rounding country, the number of
drainage bitches now emptying into
the river and the rainfall for the past
twenty-five years.
