OF MINNESOTA,
A Big Canal.

st. Peter-"If the people Of the
state would spend one-tenth of the
time talking about improving the riv.
ers of their state that they do in de-
nouncing the railroads, there would
soon be transportation facilities here
for all the crops that this section Of
the Northwest can raise for several
decades" said George Welsh. commits
sioner of immigration for Minnesota.
Mr.. Welsh is pushing the idea of
canalizing the Minnesota river, and he
grows enthusiastic over the prospects
that it offers to give the people of the
southern and western part of the state
an outlet for their products.
He presented the matter to the resi-.
dents of Renvs1le county July 4, when
he spoke at Fairfax. Congressman
Volstead, by previous arrangement,
also spoke on the same subject in 4
neighboring town.
The plan of Mr.. Welsh is to deepen
and straighten the channel of tho
Minnesota from its mouth at Fort
Smelling to Big Stone lake on the west
ern border of the state. He then
proposes that, by locks, Big Stone lake
and Traverse lake be connected so
that communication could be estab.
lished between the Red River Of tho
North and the Mississippi. This line
Of waterway, he points out, could pro.
vide cheap means Of moving the
crops Of this state, as we'll as those Of
Canada Immediately to the north.

Health Too Expensive.

st. Cloud-"The creameries would
be under little or no additional ex-
pense to pasteurize all the milk and
cream" said w. w. Wall, secretary
of the state dairy and food depart
ment, in discussing the best method
Of Kidding the state Of infected milk.
Every creamery in the state now has
a pasteurization plant to treat the
skinned milk returned to the farms,
and 1t would be only a little more
trouble to pasteurize all the milk.
Denmark is the most advanced
dairy country in the world, and all Of
their milk and cream is pasteurized.
Denmark has practically all the Eng
lish butter trade.
II must confess that I don't like
pasteurized milk nor cream, but am
willing to sacrifice my taste, because
We can't get money enough from the

cattle slaughtered every year."
