Raising Level of Mile Laos Lake.

There is considerable discussion of
the proposition to raise the level of
Mile Laos lake by building a dam at
the outlet. The Union heartily
favors any scheme that will enhance
the natural beauty and increase the
utility of the queen of Minnesota
lakes by maintaining a proper stage
of water. But the three counties of
Mile Laos, Grow Wing and Aitkin
must act jointly in the matter. Sec.
1859 revised laws of MINI. reads as
follows:
Whenever any such navigable lake
lies partly within three or more
counties, having fewer than 10000
inhabitants each, the chairman of the
county boards thereof shall constitute
water board for said counties, and,
as such, shall have all the powers and
be subject to all the duties in respect
to the waters of such lake that are
conferred and imposed upon the
county board by sections 1852 and
$685."
Sec. 1850 provides that the chair
man of said water board shall be the
chairman of the most populous
county, which in this case would be
Grow Wing, and also provides that
one of it's members shall be elected
clerk. All damages awarded for
lands taken or injured shall be paid
by the counties in which the lands lie,
and all benefit money collected shall
be divided by the board amongst the
several counties in proportion to the
damages by them incurred.
But there is vast amount of red
tape connected with the proposition of
raising the level Of Mile Laos lake.
Assessors must be appointed by the
district court, and all proceedings
connected Herewith must be conduct
ed at Aitkin, as it is the nearest
county seat to the lake.
If anything is to be done let it be
done in accordance with law, other
wise costly litigation is bound to en-
sue. Land bordering on the lake in
Aitkin county will be benefited, and
the same is true of Grow Wing, but
there are landowners in Mile Laos
county in the vicinity of Wahkon who,
we are informed, will claim damages
if the level of the lake is raised.
That an increase of 30 inches in the
water OF the lake would be of great
benefit to navigation and increase the
trade of Wahkon and other hamlets
bordering on the lake is conceded,
and if the benefits will offset the
damages, or even if each of the three
counties is required to pay few
hundred dollars, the work should pro-
coed with as little delay as possible.
but, we repeat, every step taken
should be strictly in accordance with
law otherwise trouble is bound to en-
sue. "

Lessard Represents Company q

Captain c. A. Galley returned on
Friday from Camp Perry, Ohio,
where he was engaged in the capacity
Of range officer in the national shoot
ing tournament. The captain is jubi-
liant over the splendid record of the
Minnesota team, which has jumped
from eighteenth to twelfth place-or
position-and is now in B class.
Next year, he says, Minnesota s crack
team will be in A class. The team
won fourth S200-and a
bronze medal for each member. This
is the first money ever won in a na-
tional shoot by the Minnesota contin-
gent. Captain Galley speaks in high
terms of Albert J. Lessard, who rep
resented Company G at the shoot.
Lessard made some remarkable scores
he is one of the top-notchers.
There were 43 teams in competition,
including regular army and navy men
who practice throughout the year, and
consequently the Minnesota boys, in
ascending to twelfth place, class B,
have made great stride. Each team
consists of II men, three alternates, a
captain, spotter and coach.

FOOTBALL AS TEACHER OF GEN
TLFMANLY TACTICS.

The game Of football will bring out
it is said, the qualities of a gentleman
and also the qualities Of the mucker
more than any other Of the great sports
of the time because the provocations
for the display of muekerism are greater
than III any other game. Down in the
heaps OF men during rush and the de-
Tense there are chances a-plenty for
the paying Of old scores and the settling
of supposed grievances; and the officials,
no matter how watchful they may be,
cannot see all that is going on. The very
fierce nature Of the game itself lends TO
the encouragement Of display Of temper,
with players knocked this way and that
in the course of the plays and with the
border line between clean football and
unnecessary roughness almost obliterated
in the heat Of the encounter The player
with the mucker instincts finds chance
to display his temper and his tendencies,
but not for long in the well-regulated
games, for no college team Of self-re.
speeting men will permit any Of their
players to bring disrepute on the college
by resort to ungeutlemanly tactics, and
no coach and captain will allow the
mucker to continue on the team, while
the officials, when infractions Of the rules
are brought to their notice, viii at once
rule the dirty players from the field.
Thus, while the conditions of the game
may be conducive to the display of
mucker instincts, all the other tendencies
are in the opposite direction; and the
game, therefore, furnishes a schooling for
those who may be tempted to give free
rein to their more brutal nature Thus
it is that we rarely hear Of fighting and
brawling on the football fields where the
games are properly regulated, so that
such incidents as developed in a recent
game at Wheeling, W. Va, in which
player was killed, stand out in great
contrast and consequently raise a great
hue and cry about the game, But the
very infrequency Of such displays goes
to show that the game is developing
as well as athletes.
