WOULD DEEPEN
The RED RIVER
HELGEsEN WOULD HAVE SUR.
vEY MADE--WlLL INTRODUCE
A BILL.

Washington. Dec. 25.-To make the
Red river of the north navigable for
vessels Of considerable size up as far
as Fargo Is the ambitious scheme Of
Rep. III. 7. Helgesen Of North Dakota
mr.. Helgesen has informed The
Forum correspondent that he intends
introducing a bill authorizing the
chief OF engineers of the army TO make
survey Of the river with view to
Its permanent Improvement as a
navigable waterway.
Persons who have never seen the
Red river of the north have no idea
what pretentious stream ii u.s." said
Mr., Helgesen, who is in correspond
ence with North Dakotans who are
interested In this project. "The fact
is that the Canadian government is
improving this river as far as Winni-
peg. My idea is that IL Canada will
add one more lock and the United
States will build three, the river can
be made navigable for boats of con-
siderable draft as far as Fargo. In
many places the natural banks of the
river are very deep and 1t would be
an easy matter to obtain the depth
"a NWCiFS Accla WHICH the GanaQlanS
contemplate.
over on the Canadian side the
plan is to put Winnipeg on the sea-
board by giving that city water out
let to Hudson bay. A harbor and
docks are being constructed at the
mouth of the river. While the pres
ent plan contemplates the use of rath-
er light draft vessels UP to Winnipeg,
the depth of the channel doubtless
will be ultimately increased. How
ever, even with the necessity for
trans-shipment at the mouth of the
river it is believed that the all water
route between Winnipeg and Liver
pool will prove far more satisfactory
than the present rail route to New
York and thence by boat across the
Atlantic.
The public generally do not realize
that Hudson's bay is nearer to Liver
pool than is New York. This is the
fact, however, and the Canadians have
long ago been convinced of the feas-
ibility of putting Winnipeg on the
Atlantic seaboard.' 1 am perfectly
satisfied that 1t is quite as feasible
to carry the improvement farther up
the river"

lisbon QUINT
DEFEATS JIMTOWN
FAST AND sNAPPY PLAY FEA-
TuREs THE TEAM WORK OF
THE LISBON SQUAD JAMES
TOWN TEAM NEEDS A LITTLE
MORE PRACTICE.

Saturday Lisbon defeated the fast
jamestown team by a score Of 80 to 10.
The game was close and exciting
throughout the first half neither side
having any advantage. The game was
fast and clean. The first half ended 9
to s in favor of Jamestown.
The second half was considerably
faster than the first. Lisbon seemed
to wake up and make a great showing
Lisbon three three baskets in the first
three minutes and thus obtained the
lead. from then on the result of the
game was ne, er in doubt. Both teams
used good team work though the Jim
town boys were not steady enough and
seemed to lose their heads at times.
Rulon and Bauer starred for James,
town. The two Dams and Skeffington
starred for Lisbon. Jones, the center
for Lisbon, played very good game
and Captain Haynes as guard put up
his usual excellent game, Skeffington
though new man for Lisbon--prom-
ised to make one of the best guards in
this part of the state.

Humorous Mormon.

said George ID. Pyper, "but you take

Mr.. Pyper is Mormon. He came
to town not long ago with the choir
OF zoo Mormons, which played a sing
ing engagement here. says the New
York correspondent OF The Cincinnati
Times Star. Like every other Nor

practiced in Utah-and asserts that

that the Mormons are as happy now
as they were in the days when poly

Having finished his litany, Mr.. Pyp-

LAFOLLETTE in N. D.
Rumor Declared Prosressives May Pc
tition to Have Roosevelt on Ballot,
Says w. w. Jermane.

w. w. Jermane, The Minneapolis
Journals Washington correspondent.
says in a letter to that paper:
More embarrassment will be felt by
the La Toilette campaign managers. If
recent reports from North Dakota
prove to be well founded. In
formation has reached washington
that there Is a possibility that
the voters will be given an opportunity
to make choice between Taft, La
Toilette and Roosevelt, with much en-
phasis on the last named. The Roose-
welt movement in North Dakota ap-
pears to have shaped itself up since
the meeting of the national committee
here, when the talk of nominating the
former president was loudest. 1t IS
true that this talk subsidized after the
first two days of the week of the COM
mittee meeting, but its echo is now be-
ing heard.
Roosevelt admittedly has a stronger
Following In North Dakota than in any
other northwestern state, and among
the people Of the state who are IN
sympathy with the progressive ideas,
there are many who would like to have
an opportunity to vote for him as the
representative OF their ideas as to
what progressive should be. 1t is peo-
pie of this belief who are said to be
back of the Roosevelt movement. and
who may be successful in having his
name placed on the presidential pri-
mary ticket.

900 Names Necessary.

Under the North Dakota law the
presentation of petition to the Sec
rotary of the state signed by per
cent OF the republican votes in the last
congressional election will do the bust
ness. About $4,000 votes were cast
last year at the congressional cleo
ton, and the presentation Of a petit
ton bearing 500 names would place
Roosevelt's name upon the official
ballot.
The La Toilette people have counted
the ten delegates from North Dakota
as theirs from the beginning of their
campaign and have been preparing to
herald such instruments as convincing
proof that La Toilette is strong can
didate. With Roosevelt in the pri-
mary field, however. and drawing more
heavily from La Toilette than from
Taft, the chances for La Toilette TO
get the North Dakota delegation would
be destroyed.
