NSJ~So VI 1sSSOHcrJ.
Mediaeval EUROPE knew but very lit
tie OF eastern and northeastern Asia.
Many Of the most learned cosmogra.
piers OF the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, and nc
one imagined that It had an eastern
coast washed by the ocean Ii was So
riously taught that eastern Asia was n
land of vast swamps. inhabited by
monster serpents and dragons. This
was the opinion that still prevailed up
to within 200 years of the time of Co
lumbus.
Al this time two Venetian merchants
or the name of Polo went on n vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts OF Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son OF
one or them, young man named Mar
co Polo, wrote out n full account of
their travels, described the empire of
the grand khan (the Chinese emperor)
and revealed the fact that Asia was
pounded on the east by vast ocean.
lie described this eastern coast mi
nutely, with oil It's vast cities and its
wealth of precious stones and spices.
1t was from reading this book that
the Imagination OF Columbus was fired,
and he conceived the bold idea of
reaching this eastern coast OF Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asia nnd that he looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before.

DEEPENING RED
LETTER FROM GRAND FORKS
CLUB TELLING or NEED or
$4,000 APPROPRIATION FOR
WoRk-coPIEs FORWARDED TO
NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES,.

Copies Of letter which the Grand
Forks Commercial club have sent TO
the congressman and senators from
this state urging the need OF adequate
appropriation for the development OF
the Red river have been received by
the Fargo Commercial CLUB The club
Is asked to interest itself IN this impor-
tant movement. The letter SAYS:
The special committee OF the com :
mercial club of the City Of Grand
Forks. N. D.. duly appointed for the
purpose. desire to call your attention
TO the necessity of an adequate ap-
preparation by congress to keep the
Red River OF the North open to navi-
cation. While the channel of the
river is narrow and the tendency is
for the current TO keep the channel
reasonably free from obstruction. vet
owing to the high water in the spring
there Is every year certain impair
ment of the efficiency of the channel
through drift wood and deposit Of
earth.
The question of the nayigability OF
this river and the wisdom OF declar-
ing it unnavtgable from its source up
to particular point. has in recent
years. been before the war depart
ment and two public hearings have
been had on the subject at Fargo. N.
D.. before Major Skunk of the corps of
engineers stationed at st. Paul, Mimi.
The result of these hearings has only
served to impress upon the war de-
partment the wisdom of keeping this
important river open to navigation and
both efforts to have it declared un-
navigable UP to a certain distance
from its source were defeated.
There is stationed at Grand Forks
two steamboats, and a feet of barges
engaged in the transportation busi-
ness from Grand Forks both UP and
down stream. In connection with this
business the company is operating a
line of grain elevators and warehouses
and the business is steadily growing
In volume and value and the capital
stock Of the corporation has recently
been Increased. The territory served
by this water transportation is without
adequate railroad service and the river
transportation company Is discharg-
Ing an important public function al
though of course, primarily organized
for investment of capital and profit.
Upon the policy OF congress with
respect to this river hangs the dec1-
sion of those interested in this trans
portatfon business whether they will
Increase their capital and their stor-
age capacity and transportation facili-
ties. Unless they can have the en-
enlargement Of a fairly liberal and
steady policy on the part of the gem
eral government with respect to the
protection of the navigability OF this
river IL will be out Of the question to
expect the company to expand as the
hazard will be too great. An INSULT
cient appropriation to keep the stream
open would mean the ultimate closing
OF navigation, or at least the cloggtng
of 1t with such burdens that the trans
portation company would be compelled
to abandon the field with the direct
loss of thousands of dollars of prop
erty which would be rendered nearly
1t is, of course, obvious that in the
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-01-24

encoura cement of water navigation the
government must take the initiative
and give capital the assurance of a
fairly liberal policy with respect to
appropriations. If the appropriation
is inadequate or IL the policy of the
government with respect to the stream
is fitful In character the result win be
four fold. The money appropriated
will be practically wasted. a territory
dependent upon water transportation
will be deprived OF this facility; and
the national policy Of having our navi-
gable rivers used as one Of the in
strumentalities of commerce will so
far as the river question is concerned
receive staggering blow.
We annex a statement Of the bust
ness done on the river during the sea-
son of 1909 by the Red River Trans
portation Co. already referred to.
We urge you to use all your in
fiuence and strength to secure such an
appropriation as will keep the river
open for navigation, and think that
at least $4,000 per year is needed to
carry on the work effectively when
the large responsibilities of this
stream are all considered. We would
suggest that you take the matter UP
with the senators and representatives
from Minnesota and ask their CO.

paper Is not unusual because of it's
size, for editions of from SO to $50 and
even more pages are frequently put

largest edition Of any newspaper ever

we feel that the achievement is worthy
OF little more than passing comment
That the business of publishing news-

that OF the Luger Furniture Co. which
