DEVILS LAKE TO BE SAVED
State Proposes to Drain Mouse River
Into Historic Lake.


Assistant State Engineer J. w. Bliss
OF Bismarck is in Devils Lake pre-
pairing to commence work on the
Mouse river survey, of which he will
have charge.
The purpose of this survey is to de-
tormine whether the project of drain
ing the Mouse river into Devils lake
would be feasible, and, if so, what the
probable cost of such an undertaking
would be-
It is known that Devils lake IL dry
Ag up rapidly, for as the land around
h Is cultivated it absorbs more and
moro moisture, taking just that much
nom the lake. The only remedy 10 to
draw water from the Mouse river and
- appropriation for survey TO see
whether this could be doAs was OBJ
lained from the last legislature.
Mr.. Bliss will survey from Leeds to
Devils Lake and northwest to Wildon
CITY. II this course is not encourag-
ing he will survey across from Win
toring river, small tributary Of the
Mouse river, emptying into it just
north of Velva. Somewhere between
Devils Lake and the Mouse river it
= thought there is an old river chan
nj which, if found, could be used TO
advantage in draining the river into
the lake.

NORTH DAKOTA MAIL
CLERKS STIRRED UP
Chief Clerk Intends to Put All
Men on Record

A result of letter sent to rail-
Clerk Mcbride, in which he says that
he intends to put every clerk in the
district on record as to utilization and
sympathy with the Brotherhood Of
Railway Postal Clerks, one OF the bit
forest clashes yet experienced be-
tween the clerks and postoffice de
Dartmsnt at Washington has been
stirred up.
Mr.. Mcbride declares in the letter
that "as the obligation to brotherhood
means criminal conspiracy against the
government II is clearly unlawful"
In the letter he asks all clerks
whether they are members of the
brotherhood, whether they are in SYM
pathy with the movement and, II so,
he asks them II they will withdraw
from the order and refrain from any
effort to advance it's interests.
One and all clerks in Grand Forks
denounced the missive a. 'trampling

Ons clerk said b and Q number of
cher men positively would refuse to

tons. .
One OF the contentious Of the mail
clerks IL that they should be allowed
% petition congress on grievances.
Chief Clerk Mcbride nays this would
- tho death of the civil service COM
mission, but the clerks say they do
not want to petition as individuals,
but as whole, SO that delegates could
be elected to present grievances to
congressional committees. The chief
clerk contends that grievances should
come through the head of the depart
0ent.
The clerks had nothing to say on
the proposition Of being imprisoned it
they strike. They are not talking of
walkout, but simply say they will
absolutely refuse to sign the letter
sent them. and will let developments
arise AZ they may.

Editor Independent,
Minot, N. D.
Dear Sir: There is one phase OF
the Canadian reciprocity pact that has
been overlooked. The reader will
remember that when this country was
being developed, it took a large guam
tity of manufactured goods-harness.
well-pumps and paint by the carload
and farm implement by the train
load. Under q free trade agreement
Canada will use the same goods from
our factories in vast quantities repre-.
sentiAg an immense sum of money
every year. This machinery and
other goods will be settled tor by
credits, notes and drafts, which will
be held in our commercial centers.
In the fall, the American wheat will
come to market first, but money will

Canadian crop for we will have to
give the Canadians a chance to pay
their debts. If the American farmers
force their wheas into market, 1t will
be taken at reduced price. later
on the Canadian wheat will come in
to market and will be taken in pre-
ference to American wheat because
the banks will want to turn their
Canadian credits into money. As a
result the Canadian farmers will get
the benefit Of our system of grading
and the benefit Of our markets while
our own farmers will find themselves
Disseminated against. As to bust
ness In Minot, it will suffer in the
same degree that the farmers around
the city suffer and the business men
will find that all they get out o. the
Canadian pact will be little addi-
tional coal-smoke from the railroad
engines passing thru and little Sec
ond class hotel business.
Yours truly,
