To Reclaim Bottom Lands
Of the Minnesota River Valley Will Be Pushed
Dam To Be Erected by FederalGovemnent

OOI. OHu4h survey prOVeG 'tnaL
the project was entirely feasible and
recommended the same to the Chief
of Engineers at Washington. In his
report the statements are embodied
that with the construction of a As
foot dam at Lac Qui ParIe 80 billion
cubic feet of water could be inn
pounded, which would provide a
navigable channel Of four feet from
Morton to Chaska, and would also
be Of great ben eft to- navigation on
the Mississippi River at st. Paul and
below; that the same would prevent
the depredations Of the Minnesota
River in the valley and that it would
permit the development Of consider
able water power.
Urged The Necessity of Improve
In view of the estimated cost of
this Improvement, 81, 1915, 900. the
National Board refused to make the
recommendation to Con gress to
grant this appropriation. When the
officers of the Minnesota River I'm
Eprovement league were apprised OF
this second adverse decision of the
National Board. they at once sent
another delegation to Washington,
consisting of C. A. johnson of st.
Peter and A. B. Kaercher of Orion
willie. This delegation once more
urged the absolute necessity of this
Improvement and the adoption OF
Col. Shunk's Recommendation.
The delegation was informed that
additional evidence was necessary
before this improvement could be
recommended to Congress.
Board Granted Public Hearing
With the assistance Of the U. S.
Senators and Congressman, espe-
ciaIly through the efforts of Con-
gresham Fred. C. Stevens the Board
was prevailed upon to grant pub
lie hearing at st. Paul on October
18th to obtain the lacking informa-
ton.
AT this hearing every town in the
valley was represented and the ques-
ton of resulting benefits was again
gone over, and it was shown that
the reclamation of $780, 900 acres of
land in the bottoms by the control
of the flood waters was an item un-
known to the Board.
Would Make An Asse ssment
1t seemed to the Board that the
land owner so benefited should be
made to pay his portion Of the cost
of the construction of the proposed
improvement, along the lines of
ditch assessments, and that the
Water Power Companies be made to
pay for the use of the water.
AS the federal government has no
jurisdiction to levy any assessments
against the abutting property own
ers of the river, the National Board

a go thesMinnesota River Improve
ment League was organized for the
purpose of obtaining an appropria-
tion from the Legislation to i'm
pound reservoirs on the upper
Minnesota River, to straighuen the
river from the village of Morton
down to FortsSneling for the pur-
pose of navigation and thereby con-
troll the flood waters and reclaim
$780, 900 acres of improved lands in
the Minnesota valley.
The Legislature was generous
enough to grant this request. but
this appropriation was afterwards
held to be unconstitutional as the
state had no authority to appro-
pirate funds for internal improve
ments, and hence the appropriation
of $200.000swas null and void.
Sent iDeleeation to Washington
The:Legislature then sent a COM
mittee of four. consisting of Sen. C.
A. Johnson, Sen. Harrington. Rep.
L. c.. Spooner and Rep. John Rosen-
Mald. and State Engineer, Geo. A.
Ralph, to Washington, D. C. to urge
upon Congress the matter of i'm
proving the Minnesota River for
navigation. This was the beginning
ofagetting in touch with the Federal
Government.
The u. S. district Engineer of St.
Paul. Lit. Col. Francis R. Skunk.
recommended the proposed improve
'ments to the Board of Engine ers f r
Rivers and tHarbors. This recon-
.mendationss.. was rejected by this
Board, for the want of sufficient evil
,dence, showing the amount of bene-
fits that would result from the pro-
posed improvements.
TOnnaaessAbout 2, 100000
Thereupon the League at once
gathered statistics showing the
amounts of tonnage available on the
Minnesota River from Big Stone
Lake to St. Paul.
1t was found that the total re-
,ceipts were ,666.000 tons and the
shipments were1, 300, 600 tons, MAX
ing total of nearlyss2. 000.0 900 tons.
The difference in the cost of trans
portation, as between rail and water.
was found tosbe 80 .per,cen in favor
of the water route. The reportcon-
tanning this. information was taken
to Washington, by A. l.. Poehler of
Henderson, who personally deliver
ed 1T to the Board of Engineers. AS
a result, the showing made by the
League, caused the Board of Engi-
neers to reconsider their former de-
clsion and directed the District EGG
ineer. to commence the survey of
the Minnesota River at once. His
labor was completed in a little oyer
year and at a cost Of $50, 900 to the
National Government.

of Engineers suggested that it want
ed the co operation Of a legally or
ganized Water Power. Company,
which would use its wHter, and that
the land owners in the valley can
only cooperate with the government
through such water power COM
pany.
Water Power Company Formed
After being informed by the hon
orable Board of Engineers as to the
manner Of proceeding in this mat
ter, water power company was or
ganized under the laws of this state
bearing the name of ''The Minnesota
River Improvement and Power Com
pany." It was organized with sew
enteen members and officers of the
old Improvement League. with one
representative from each city in the
valley from Big Stone Lake to st.
Paul, and therefore the present new
company is an outgrowth of the old
League.
The new Directorate is comprised
of the following members and Off

As the land owners in the valley
can only cooperate with the govern

Company. it is essential for the old
League to merge with the new COM
parry; and that the proposed water
power plant beoperated and man.

WEED|N MADE
MANY FRIENDS
Speech Caught Fancy Of
Large Assembly
BAKER HELPED SOME TOO
But the Real Address of the
Evening was Delivered by
Hayden, Democratic Can
didate for Representa-
tive.

Probably the largest crowd of the
campaign assembled on the plaza last
night to listen to addresses by Hon.
Thomas f. Weedin, one of the demo
cratic candidates for governor; Carl
Hayden. candidate from Maricopa
county for the democratic nomination
for representative in Congress; and
Judge A c. Baker, one of the few
prominent democrats of this section
who is not a candidate for anything.
And right here let it be recorde1
that the crowd which went out last
night To hear the speaking got its mon
ey's worth 1t got it in the historical
and analytical address by Mr.. Weedin;
il got it in the eXtempore address by
Judge Baker: and more than all else
it got it in the short talk by Carl Had
den.
Without throwing any bouquets
it can be said that Carl Hayden made
the best speech last night that has been
heard in Phoenix during this demo-
cratic campaign He didn't talk long,
probably not because he didn't have
plenty to say, but because of desire
to give Mr.. Weedin all the time he
wanted But while he did talk he had
the crowd wrought up to such a pitch
of enthusiasm as no other speaker has
ever been able TO engender. If Hay
den has been making the kind of
speech in other parts of the territory
he made here last night one can I'M
h.
beaten to a standstill.
Mr.. Weedin's speech lacked the fire
and effectiveness Of that delivered by
Hayden but it was a creditable ad-
dress The gubernatOrial candidate re-
viewed in detail much of the political
history of this country and declared
unuualifiedly for the initiative, the ref
erendum, and the recall He denied
that these measures of popular govern
ment are new. and cited a case where,
before the revolution. the entire Vir-
ginia Assembly had been recalled by
a vote of the people of the Old Domin-
ion.
Mr.. Weedin said the recall of the jul
dietary is by far the most important
measure of the three which now occu-
py the attention of the people of this
territory: and he advocated the extern
sion of the recall to all federal judges.
even to the judges of the supreme court
Of tn United States
If one is to judge by the reception
accorded the speech, Mr.. Weedin made
a most favorable impression here as a
public speaker.
The meeting was closed by an ad-
dress by Judge Baker. The judge al q
WAYS arouses enthusiasm and as 4
matter Of course last night was no ex-
cepticn He "whooped 'er up" for
quite while and then the crowd dis
persed.

TO GET. RID OF
RHEUMA TZSM

II we suffer with Rheumatism and
desire to get rid of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course of treatment for
a while. The only way to cure
oneself of Rheumatism is to remove
the cause-expel the irritating uric
acid from the blood; every other
method of treatment has proved
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers. This medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle of the sour, infammatory
uric acid which is the one great cause
of the disease. The cure can be
greatly FASTENED by a little care and
self denial by the patient. In the
first place do not let anything inter
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions;
be guarded in your eating, because
an attack of indigestion will always
aggravate the symptoms of Rheuma-
tisrn. Do not expose yourself to
damp and inclenent weather any
more than is necessary. When S. S. S.
has had time to rid the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these little restrictions can be
left off. This simple course has cured
many thousands of cases of Rheuma-
tism. Book on Rheumatism and any
medical advice free. S. S. S. is sold
