HILL VISITS DULUTH
ADDRESSING COMMERCIAL CLUB,
GREAT NORTHERN HEAD SEES
GREAT RESULTS If ALL CO.
OPERATE.
CHAMPIONS NORTH STATE
Leaders of Zenith City Pay Eloquent
Tribute to Guest of Honor
as One Who Has
Made Good.

Duluth.-State developments was the
Keynote of L. w. Hills address at the
commercial clubs banquet at the
Spalding hotel at which he was guest
OF honor. The president of the Great
Northern railroad held out alluring
prospects of great expansion of the
agricultural resources, and declared
that Minnesota was just awakening
to the wonderful possibilities which
can be here for the effort. Mr.. Hill
strongly urged cooperation of the peo-
pie to the end that the development
of Northern Minnesota may progress
more rapidly.
Mr.. Hill was received with much en-
thusiasm. He was acquainted with
most of the $50 persons present and
the function lacked much of the for
mality which might attach to similar
event where the guest of honor was a
stranger, personally
w. A. McGonagle, president of the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern road, was
POSTMASTER. He introduced Mr.. Hill
as a young man who had made good
despite the fact that greatness was
thrust upon him and that there was
no young man in the country whose
career had been watched with greater
interest and ultimate satisfaction
than his. Mr.. Hills talk came after
the POSTMASTER had introduced repre-
sentatives of the city, the grain bust
ness, manufacturing, navigation, etc.
Mayor Welcomes Club Guest.
Mayor NJ. B. Cullum and President
c. A. Luster, of the Commercial club,
delivered the welcoming addresses to
the visitor and his party from the
Twin Cities. A. d. Thomson, of Du-
luth, paid fine tribute to James J.
Hill and to his son. He said that while
we hear so much about the wonderful
resources of timber and ore, we don't
hear much about wheat and wondered
why. Mr.. Thomson declared that the
Great Northern road would be hauling
wheat to the Head Of the Lakes long
after the ore and lumber traffic had
become mere memories. F. A. Patrick,
w. j.. Olcott, julius H. Barnes and
other prominent Duluth men were
speakers at the banquet.
When the special train bearing Hill
and party arrived the party was es-
corted by the reception committee to
the Spalding hotel, where an informal
reception was held and the visitors
were then entertained at the Kitchi
Gammi club until the banquet hour.

FOX IMPROVEMENT OF RIVERS
CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED FoF
100000 FOR HIGH DAM.
Request for improvement of the ST.
Croix River Is Filed With
the House Committee.

Washington, ID. C.-Representative
Stevens has just concluded number
of conferences with members of the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors, concerning number of projects
| among which We're the ST. Croix and
Minnesota river and the continuation
of the work on the high dam in the
Mississippi, and he believes the
chances for securing appropriations
for these projects are good.
Mr.. Stevens, together with Mr.. Nye,
will soon ask congress to appropriate
100000 to continue work on the high
dam, and both congressman believe
the dam will be completed within the
next few years. The disposition of pow
er generated from dams erected in
federal streams will not be touched
upon in the general river and harbor
bill, but will be left for special legisla-
ton. Representative Stevens will en-
deaVor to obtain concession recogniz-
ing the existence of the corporation
authorized by the Minnesota state
legislature to dispose of the power.
Mr.. Stevens has filed with the house
committee a memorandum from the
citizens of the ST. Croix valley and the
city authorities of Saltwater, headed
by Mayor Brennan, asking for a sur
vey with a view to the general i'm
provement of the ST. Croix in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin.
The st. Croix Valley improvement
association is pushing this project
with view to the special considera-
ton of two subjects. They want to
rid the river of logs which are prov
ing an obstacle to navigation, and they
desire that a plan shall be evolved,
whereby the communities along the
river may cooperate with the federal
government in improving levees and
harbors.
Representative Stevens has received
assurance that survey of the St.
Croix, with view to improvements
will be authorized in the river and
harbor bill soon to be reported.
Another project to which Mr.. Ssev-
ems has directed the attention of the
house committee is the improvem@n
of the Minnesota river as far as Nor
ton. Army engineers estimate shat
this project would cost $1,700,00O. They
have reported that the object ought
would not justify such a large eN
penditure. The officers of the Mime
sofa River improvement association
have given assurances that the land
owners along the stream are willing to
make contributions at the rate of SIS
an acre.
Such contributions in the aggregate
would amount to about $250,000 for
the completion of the reservoir at Gull
Lake. An appropriation of $4,000 will
be sought.
Lindbergh Criticises Reserve Assn.
The monetary commissions plan for
national reserve association, further
considered at meeting of the COM
mission, evoked a statement from Rep
resentative Lindbergh Of Minnesota,
author of a resolution to investigate
the money trust that under it control
would not be taken away from Wall
street.

County indictments.

East Grand Forks.-Tt rough their
attorneys, twenty-six Fast Grand
Forks saloonkeepers appeared in the
district court of Polk county and en-
tered pleas of not guilty to charges in

the saloon keepers previously had en-
tered pleas Of not guilty, while that

LINDBERGH IS ACTIVE.
In Fight to Curb the Power of the
Money Trust.

Washington, d. C.-Representative
Lindbergh of Minnesota introduced a
number of amendments to his resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of the
so-called money trust, the principal
one of which calls upon congress to
ascertain the ownership of stocks and
practical control of the banks and
trust companies eligible under the So
called Aldrich plan to subscribe for
and hold the stock of the proposed
National Reserve association SO as to
determine what relationship their
stockholders have with the leading
trusts of the country.
Another of the Lindbergh amend
ments calls for an investigation into
the control and use of the funds and
resources of the principal life insur-
ance companies and whether they are
so manipulated as to deprive policy
holders of large part of the profits
justly due them.
