Horse Breeders Meeting.

Registration Board will be held at the
Secretary's Office, Main Building,
College of Agriculture, st. Anthony
Park, st. Paul, Mimi, on November
10, 1908 at 100 p. m.
AS this is the last meeting of the
board to be held before the State
Legislature meets, and as the mem
bers of the board are very anxious to
learn the opinions of the majority of
horse breeders and stockmen through
out the state relative to this law, an
invitation is extended to all interested
horse breeders and stoekmen to at
tend this meeting. The members of
the board are anxious to work in har
mony with the ideas of the horse
breeders and stockmen in the state
and therefore feel that they should
take this opportunity to get acquaint-
ed.
A number of very important ques-
tions will be brought up at the meet
ing, which should be considered by all
interested horse breeders and stock
men,

ONCE A Bio LAKE.
interesting Discovery about the Big
Huskeg of Northern Minnesota.

A special to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal from Thief River Falls says that
an interesting fact in connection with
the geological survey of the Red Lake
region in northern MINI nesota, now
being made under the direction of
Engineer Meade of Washington, re-
lates to the "Big Muskeg" in the
northwestern part of Beltrami and the
eastern portion of Roseau counties.
This famous floating bog, containing
hundreds of thousands of acres, has
been known as long as travellers have
visited this region, as an impossible
barrier of moss and shrub covered
mud and water, portions of which are
lightly wooded and other parts quite
open water.
1t, is disclosed by the survey, now
almost completed, that it was former
ly a great lake and was connected to
two Red lakes by an arm extending
south; and further, that all the rivers
of that sections, the Roseau, Moose,
Mud, Rapid and others, find their
sources in this swamp. All maps ex-
tant show that they rise in many
widely separated localities, which is
far from the truth.
That even a federal system of drain
age could remove body of water of
sufficient volume to give rise to the
rivers mentioned above, all of which
are more or less navigable, is doubted;
in fact, its removal is not considered
essential, and has not been proposed
in any system of drainage yet pro-
jected. This great reservoir will be
and will be protected in !,
it's principal condition, just as all the
river sources in this country will soon
be. But the great scope of rich prai-
rie and lowland wooded soil that is
watered by its outlets will be drained |
and made available for future gen era
tions of agriculturists.
Another fact disclosed by the sur
veyors is that this boggy region will
