crookston Congress Adopted Resolu-
ton Recommending Opening Of
Natural Waterway.
WOULD MEAN QUICK SETTLE
MENT OF NORTHERN COUNTRY
Plan Includes Connecting with the
Pigeon River Through Three
lock Canal.

One resolution that was adopted
by the Crookston convention was
not made public at the time and has
just been given out. The resolution
was not brought before the conven-
ton because it was of an interna-
tional character, but the committee
on resolutions instruced w. r.
Mackenzie, secretary Of the associa-
ton, to give it publicity later.
The resolution reads as follows:
We recommend that the Federal
Government turn its attention to-
ward encouraging the commercial
development over vast area by
opening the natural water course for
transportation purposes, between the
Great Lakes and the Lake of the
Woods .z....
The water course mentioned is
the Rainy River, which now forms
the boundary line between the
United States and Canada in north
ern and northeastern Minnesota. Be-
cause of this fact, the question be-
comes one of international import
ance.
The Rainy River has its source
in Cook county, flows west
through the lake region of upper
Minnesota, through Rainy lake and
thence to the Lake Of the Woods. its
outlet being finally Hudson Bay.
This river is the only means of
transportation that many of the
settlers Of northern Minnesota have.
at their command. The Canadian
Pacific and the Minnesota and In
ternational railroads are the only
ones that tap this district. The
Canadian lines are branches and the
International serves Beltrami and
Koochiching counties, so the district
covered is small.
Six of Minnesota's largest coun.
ties will derive direct benefit from
the opening of the Rainy River.
Roseau, Beltrami, Koochiching, St.
Louis, Lake and Cook counties all
border on the river and the Canad.
ian boundary. The northern part
of the counties are heavily timbered
and are thinly settled. The tim
Der is being cut off rapidly and
experiments show that the cutover
land is suited for agricultural pur-
poses, especially grazing and dair-
ing.
Secretary Mackenzie has sent
copies of the resolution to the
Minnesota congressman urging them
to act on the matter and see that
the river is opened as soon as posi-
bic. The resolution, backed by the
thirty-one counties Of the north, is
sure to have some weight. An
effort is to be, made to have the
Canadian government act with our
Federal government in this matter.
If Congress decides to take
definite action on the matter, it is
probable that canal with three
locks will be built connecting the
Rainy and Pigeon rivers. The
Pigeon rises but short way over
the divide from the Rainy and
flows into Lake Superior. It's source
is 700 feet above the lake and it
always has plenty of water. This
would give a big waterway from
Hudson Bay on the north to New
York City via the Great Lakes. Erie
canal and Hudson river; and to
New Orleans via the Great Lakes
and ChiNAun camel

$500 FORREST EAR OF CORN
Bankers Association Offers Prize to
Be Paid Annually to the
Farm Lads.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-H. S. Mob
ley field agent of the State Boys
Corn Club Committee, announces
that through the liberality of the
State Bankers Association an an
nual prize of $500 has been secured
for the boy making the best corn
club exhibit at the state fair.
This exhibit is to be the best ear
grown by the contestants. No con-
testant may cultivate less than one
acre, and he may cultivate more if
he desires. The boy who succeeds
through his own efforts in securing
the most perfect ear of corn will win
the prize. Other points will be
scored for sweepstakes prize, etc., but
the single-ear exhibit will command
the first prize.
1t is the plan of the committee to
make this prize two-year course
In one of the new state agricultural
colleges. 1t is estimated that $3.50
will pay for board, clothing and in
cidentals for the boy for year in
the school and $500 would thus give
him two-year term. Mr.. Mobley
says he hopes later to be able to
secure other scholarship prizes until
there will be one for each of the four
agricultural schools.

RATTLEsNAKE LIKES THE BABY
Reptile Enjoys the Soft Stroke of

The child had been playing in the

The snake seemed to enjoy it.
Mrs. Wilkinson knocked the reptile
from her daughters hand, who set
up cry for the return of her pet.
The snake showed fight to Mrs.

TWILL BE RAT-KILLING DAY.
Everybody Will Thus Be EMPLOYED
June 9th in Gibson County, Ind.

Everybody Will Thus Be Employed
june 9th in Gibson County, Ind.
June 9Th is to be a "rat-killing
day" in Gibson county, Indiana. On
that date everybody-the butcher,
the baker and the candIes,ick maker
will set aside ordinary business
and devote ten hours to killing rats.
The doctors have convinced the peo-
pie of Gibson county that rats are
responsible for lot of sickness, and
that they are pesky varmints any
way, and the Gibson people are 60
ing to get after them with clubs and
poison. AS matter of fact, every
day ought to be rat day" every
where. The rat is about the most
despisable creature in all the world,
We have heard of apologists for
rats, but every one of them was in
Jail, where nothing but rat could,
or would, associate with him.

RAT STILL UNVANQUIsHED
Man Has Fought the Rodents Two Hundred Years
Without Conquering Them.

I building in the city; nearly 400 re-
calcitrant persons suffered arrest;
there were upward of $4,000 abate-
ments of nuisance. Altogether San
Francisco became one of the clean
est places in the world, and one of
the least popular with the whole
tribe of vermin.
A rats sight is not particularly
good, but it's smell is keen and it's
sense of locality so perfect that it
will run through it's holes and gal
leries in pitch darkness at full speed.
The great Cuvier used especially to
admire the rats tail, which, he said,
has more muscles than the human
hand. Careful experiments have
proved the truth of the ancient be-
lief that by letting down it's tail and
licking the end the rat extracts oil,
milk, wine, molasses and other fluids
from deep or narrow-necked vessels.
No single point illustrates better
the sagacity of the rat than the way
in which it eats an egg. 1t bites
through the shell and chips off small
fragments as neatly as q squirrel
opens a nut, consumes the entire
contents without spilling drop and
then sits up and ticks itself clean like
a cat. Rats will steal the eggs from
under a setting hen; in Washington
they carried off seventy-five dozen
eggs which a commission merchant
had incautiously stored in a wooden
tub.
Their method Of handling eggs is
also characteristic. An egg is as
large for a rat as a barrel for a man,
and much more fragile. Yet there
is evidence of the fact that they pass
eggs along from one to another, al
though not probably, as has often
been reported, by forming long lines
like bucket brigade.
The operation is naturally diff
cult to observe; but apparently it
takes two rats to each egg. One
holds the egg in it's paws, passes it
on to the other and then runs ahead
to take it once more in it's turn.
The same device seems to be en-
ployed to carry an egg downstairs,
the rat that has the egg passing it
to its companion, which stands on
the step below. Going upstairs,
however, at least in some cases, each
rat puts its head between it's fore
paws and pushes the egg up with its
hind feet. Such appears to be the
general procedure.

MAKE PAPER MONEY NO LONGER
The Government at Washington An
nOunces Decision to That Effect.

The good old joke that the gov
eminent is not going to make postal
cards any longer because they are
long enough now is recalled by the
announcement that the government
is not going to make paper money
any longer, for the same reason. In
deed, the announcement is that the
paper money is to be made shorter,
and also narrower Some of the
treasury officials are of the opinion
that our paper bills are far too large.
They have noted that the French
and English bills are much smaller,
and think Americans would be
pleased to carry about in their pock
cts reduced wads of paper if they
represented an equal amount in val
ne. The size of the paper really
doesn't make a great deal of differ
ence, so the gold value is the same.
At the same time, the people have
got used to bills of the present size,
and have found that they serve their
purpose very well. Why make a
change? Almost any marked change
gives the counterfeiters new
chance.
