GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Concluded from first page,l

| Sdiu lildN tic dtlil VI lilc asSuSlu-
ton was to build q number Of
state roads as has been done in
other states. He cited the ex-
ample of Los Angeles county in
California, which recently APP
propriated the sum of one and /!
millions for the building of good
roads, He explained that the
purpose of the Good Road move
ment was to.arouse greater inter-
est so that the matter of appropri-
alton could be presented to the
legislature in a clear manner.
He said that some such law as
the Johnson road law would
probably be presented for pass
age at the next session of the
legislature,
After all the biggest obstacle
to good roads in this state is
mans selfshness, John Doe is
afraid that his neighbor will
have a better road in front of his
field than he and he opposes the
whole movement because of sell
fish interest. Others are con-
tinually criticising the county
court for not expending the mon
ey to better advantage. The
fact of the matter is that the av-
erage county court does as well as
it can with the limited amount
of money at its dispoal and can
not make much of a showing be-
cause the people of the differ
ent sections of the county want
a little work done in their re-
pective localities.
The speaker referred to convict
labor and said that the convicts
could be used to advantage in
the building of state roads.
Judge Scott favors the appoint
ment of q state road comission
to profitably look after
the repairs on highways and
take general supervision of the
roadbuilding.
Judge Scott said that the other
numerous duties incident with
the office of county judge made
It very difficult for him to devote
much time to road question. The
road question should be left to
county commissioners and COM
petent engineer. The import
ant thing in building roads" said
he, is to have a solid foundation
or rather a good dirt basis which
should be thoroughly rolled with
a big roller before any rock is
applied.
The big rock should be put
down first, then a layer of small
er crushed rock can be applied
and the top of this which must be
thoroughly rolled, a coat of
screening can be added, this last
layer must also be rolled. Six
inches of crushed rock when
properly rolled will make a
splendid road. In speaking of
the local crusher, he said that
the screen was not of the right
kind because it let the screen
ing and the crushed rock go down
together.
Principal j. c. Sturgill made a
few remarks on the Relation of
the Good Roads Movement to Ed
ucation. He said that real ed
ucation was the process of So
cializatior, and that it places one
in correct relation with every
movement that goes to promote
the public good. Therefore it is
natural that the schools should
be interested in the movement
for good roads. Good roads will
do away with provincialism and
bring the people together, pro-
mote commerce and the public
welfare.
Geo. B. Dukek, of Mayville,
spoke on general lines and was
ready to assist the movement.

A Fine Boarding Place.

The following statement was made
by A. Johnson of this city and was
overheard by the Pioneer reporter:
I'VE run the best frst-class hotel
in the city-steam heat, electric
lights and all modern improvements,
together with free medical attention
to THE guests. No valuables are ever
lost. This morning a guest left
before breakfast to see foreman of
one of the mills. He returned
about 9 o'clock and wanted to be
given breakfast and another room.
He said that it was fine hotel and
he liked the grub" I was sorry
for him but as he was behaving him
self couldn't take him in. Yes,
ours is certainly a fine hotel" Mr..
Johnson is the turnkey in the Bel
trami County jail in this city.

Prince Hal Makes Coed Time.

The races yesterday afternoon
were the big drawing card for the
fair and they were exceptionally
good. A spicy program with
plenty of entries, a fire day. and the
best track in the province, made a
combination which is hard to beat
and when you consider that the
fastest horses were here it is no
wonder that the races evoked
enthusiasm.
Robert Lee, the favorite in the
free-for-all, was not here yesterday,
and Prince Hal won in three
straights, and in the first two heats
made the fastest time of the season,

OF U. S. an ISLAND
Ditch No. 81 ltasca County Divides
: United States in Two Parts. Work
to Be Done By Nov. /.

The state of Minnesota is now
engaged in making an island out of
about one-third of the United States.
Before Thanksgiving comes and if
there is plenty Of water on the high
places, all that portion of the coun-
try east of the Mississippi river will
be separated by water from the solid
West. This greatengineering feat
will be performed 81 the construc-
ton of what is known as Ditch 81
being a short drainage ditch in
Itasca county.
This ditch, by cutting thru the
international water shed will make it
possible for hardy traveller to take
a canoe trip from the Gulf of Mexico
thru the heart of the country to the
Gulf of st. Lawrence without making
a portage. There is little likelihood
that the route will be popular with
the summer tourists, but the fact is
interesting from ia geographical
standpoint. l."
The drainage ditch, which will
accomplish this separation of the
East from the West, will provide an
outlet both ways for 4 small body of
water near Bowstring station a few
miles north of Deer River. This is
called Round lake an is in a slight
depression on the water shed. The
ditch runs in two directions from,
this lake. TO the south the waters
will reach the Mississippi river
almost directly. That river there
reaches its most hortherly point
after the junction of Leech Lake
river and Mud river
To the north the waters will flow
toward gulf OF ssfr.-=s4I1 >.r~e-.ee
thru Big Forks river after passage
thru several smaller tributaries.
This ditch is but one of the six
teen which the state has under con-
