Want SURVEY MADE Of
THE UPPER RED RIVER
Continued from Page One.

ersOn and Hanna carrying an appro-
priation Of $1,000 for survey
the two congressman will go before
the committee on rivers and harbors
to urge favorable action on the bill.
Mr.. Hanna said today that the cues
tiOn of navigation of the Red River of
the North is involved largely in the
the problem of the practicability of
reservoirs on it's headwaters. Since
the development of the drainage sys-
tenn In the Red River valley the
stream flow has been very UNEQUAL.
In spring and summer the river has
been subject to overflows, destroying
millions of dollars of property.
A few years ago portions of Fargo
and Grand Forks, as we'll as cities on
the Minnesota side, were flooded. The
war department, although authorized.
has refused heretofore to make a. sur
vey and an estimate of the cost of the
reservoir system for the Red river.
Navigation on the stream is not as
large as formerly and is limited chiefly
to that part of the river north of
Grand Forks.
1t is the purpose Of Representa- es
Hanna and Stevenson to have con-
gress direct the chief of engineers of
the war department to make a survey
and estimate with view TO lessening
the dangers of floods, to show the vast
opportunity for development of water
power and to open the river to naviga-
ton.
No Work on Upper Red Lake.
w. L. Marshall, CHIEF or engineers of
the U. S. army today reported ad-
vcrsely with reference to the improve
ment on the Red Lake rive; between
Thief River Falls and led Lake.
The action came as a surprise as the
district engineer as well as the divi-
sion chief consider the stream good
enough to justify small annual ex-
penditure for snagging operations

A Stricken Family

Mr.. Bruce passed u fairly comfortable
night and seemed considerably better
this morning, but a change for the
worse took place this forenoon and ut
this writing, one o'clock, his condition
is very critical.
Mrs Bruce's illness has developed in
to an attack of pneumonia and she is
not so we'll today. She worries about
Mr.. Bruce and this makes her condition
worse than it otherwise would be.
Everything possible is being done for
both of them. Medical skill, tender
nursing and loving care are all fighting
against the disease. We sincerely hope
they may win decisive victory.
