DAM zUMbR0 RIVER.
Company Would Make Tributary
Whole Southeastern Section of
State Of Minnesota.
WILL ASK CITY TO RUN PLANT
Rochester Council Will Vote on the
Question Of Retention Of Munich.
pal Power at Next Meeting.

ROchester-1t will cost the city of
Rochester $27,50O per year to buy its
electric current for municipal and
private lighting and power purposes
should it enter into a contract with
the Zumbro River Power Company at
the next meeting of the city council.
The Zumbro River Power Company
was recently incorporated to erect an
immense power plant, which will
furnish electric energy to the cities
and towns in the entire southeastern
section of the state. It is proposed to
build 50-foot dam across the Zum-
bro river about fifteen miles from this
city. The company has had the serv-
ices of expert engineers who agree
their plan is feasible.
Because Of the unsatisfactory con-
ditions in connection with Roches-
ter's municipal plant-since the city
has received inadequate lighting and
for some time has been without
street illumination-the Zumbro Riv-
er Power Company has submitted an
optional contract to the city whereby
it can purchase it's electric energy
at cost cheaper to the city, it is
said, than the municipality can manu-
facture it.
The company agrees to have it's
power plant in operation not later
than March 1, 1912. It agrees in it's
contract to pay the city a rental of
$1,000 per year for the present local
plant for five years, to be used in
emergency cases, or until their plant
has been given thorough test. At
the end of the first period Of ten
years, or any five-year period there
after, the city has the right to pur-
chase the plant of the company for
$4,000. The city will be protected
by a bond of $4,000 furnished by the
power company before beginning op-
erations.
The company maintains it has the
necessary capital for the erection of
the plant, and work will be COM
menced as soon as the city signs a
contract with it. It is expected the
signing of the contract by the city
will meet with the ratification of the
voters and property owners.
Judge Henry o. Christensen, promi-
nently mentioned as the Democratic
candidate for congress from the first
district, is leading member Of the
company, and is taking active steps
in the interests of the project.

SHIP CANALS FOR MINNESOTA.
Representative Spooner Will Push the
Plan.

st. Paul. IAN expert investigation
to establish the feasibility of project
resulting in network of canals in Gen.
trail and Northern Minnesota, the canal
1zation of the Mississippi river from
Fort Smelling to Little Falls and the
building of ship canal from that point
to Duluth, will be asked of the next
legislature by l.. c. Spooner, of Morris,
MIMI, member of the house and also
OF the Inland Waterways commission.
The project also provides for an in
land harbor at Fort Smelling, making
Minneapolis the head of navigation in
the northwest. The cost of the i'm.
provement would be about $25, 900, 900,
according to estimates made by the
engineers who looked over the plans.
The scheme is to build a barge ca
nal, twelve feet deep. from the Lake
of the Woods to the narrows of Lake
traverse and to construct dyke at
that point twenty-one feet high. Then.
to build a dam at Granite Falls to the
level of the dyke, creating an inland
sea between the two, in the valley of
the upper Mississippi. The inland sea
would include Traverse, Big Stone and
Lac qui Parle lakes and would be more
than 100 miles in length and with an
average width of two miles.
The dam at Granite Falls. in Mr..
Spooner's estimation, would develop
100000 horsepower and would be one
of the most valuable properties in the
state.
From this inland sea the plans call
for a canal running by way of WILL
mar and Little Falls to Duluth and into
Lake Superior. This canal is to be
twenty-one feet in depth and wide
enough to accommodate the boats,
which are used in the commerce of the
Great Lakes.
The extension of this system to the
Twin Cities is planned by the canali-
cation of the Mississippi river from
Little Falls to Fort Smelling, making
it twenty-one feet in depth, large
enough to sustain the largest lake
boats and extending navigation to the
Twin Cities. The erection of the high
dam at the fort would be in line with
this immense project, says Mr.. Spooner.
Mr.. Spooner is backed in his scheme
by R. D. Mershon, we'll known Chi
cago engineer and the chief engineer
of the Chicago canal.
1.-THE cost, of course, is a big item.
But supposing that it does cost $685.
100000, the Twin Cities alone would
derive sufficient returns in five years
to cover this amount. If this project
went through I predict that in five
years the population of the Twin Cities
would be doubled, the wealth doubled
and the commerce trebled.
1T would afford a direct water con-
nection between Minneapolis, Cleve.
land, Chicago, Buffalo and New York
via Duluth and the great lakes.
1T would make Minneapolis an in.
land port, the value of which cannot
be estimated. This plan is in line with
the project of widening the Mississippi
river from st. Paul to the gulf, which
will some day give a direct waterway
from Duluth to New Orleans"
