Douglas Mclean Tells Of

The keen interest which the Can
adam government is displaying in
the Red river survey is shown by the
visit to Grand Forks of Douglas l..
Mclean. chief engineer of the Mani

MIR. Mclean. young in years, but
old in experience, is here for the pur-
what is being done on this side of the
line In connection with the survey of
the river that flows north. While in
this city he will discuss he project
with persons interested in the work
Of making the Red river navigable
and will collect such data as is OBJ
tainable and reports from the state
who will have the survey on this side
of the boundary in charge.
MT. Mclean says that the survey
on the Canadian side will be pushed
with all rapidity and the work COM
pleted in detail before the freeze up.
About 100 miles OF the Dominion tor
ritory will be surveyed by the crew
Of engineers that has already assem-
hled in Winnipeg n started owe the
several miles of river in that district.
The work will be thorough, the young
chief says. and will include reports
on the lay of the land, the depth of
the water n the heights of the
banks. Reports on soil conditions
will be made later if necessary. al
though the soil is practically all clay
in h country traversed by the Red
across the line.
Engineer Mclean says that much
interest is being taken in the survey
of the river in Canada. the govern
ment realizing the vast Importance of
ma the stream navigable. The
river northeast of Winnipeg to Lake
Winnipeg has been made navigahIe
through the means of a large darn
and in this instance the navigation
project has been shown to be feasible.
If the survey 10 in progress in Can
ada shows the establishment of dams
along the Red to be feasible they will
he put in.
The American engineers are ex-
pected to- start the survey on this side
Of the line in time to have it com
pleted this fall.

CLAIMS PARACHUTE
JUMP WILL
Be MADE
Speed Propeller Could Not
Lift Two Men-Another
One Arrives Today.

Confidence reigns at the Kenworthy
aviation camp at the fair grounds and
one and all the men connected with
the various flying machines, seem to
feel that the parachute jump will be
q reality before this week is out.
When asked why he had not com
pieted the act. DR.. Bell stated last
been on the machine is a racing pro-
peller and has not the necessary pull
TO lift two men and the parachute with
the htg Benoist areoplane. Monday
an order was wired to q Baltimore
hrm for a lift" propeller and it
should be here late this afternoon or
tonight and the feat will be tried out
Most of the Grand Forks people
think that the stunt has not been per
formed because DR.. Bell has not the
required nerve to try 1t out" said one
of the men last evening"" However
IN gamble that it will be done when
the new propeller comes. Today three
OF us rode in the machine and the
speed propeller could not get the
aeroplane from the skids, even though
the elevator was showed on full force
in an endeavor to lift us. l know for
my part that there has been no yell
lowness connected with the failure to
jump SO far and feel confident that all
VII COuie OuI wen III the emu.
Sheppard, the man scheduled to
make the jump, is eager to do it the
first time. He had a telegram from
the Barkoot shows Yesterday offering
him the loop-the-loop job. the high
dive act or a parachute jump from the
balloon act but refused all three
offers.
This is the latest daring feat out"
said Sheppard. and I'm going to do
it or take my medicine. What's the
use of being in this so-called death
trap business unless your up to date"
And Sheppard will jump if his actions
are an indication of his nerve. Let
DR.. Bell get me up in the air about
500 feet and I'll leap if I never live
another minute"
This declaration. while it sounds
foolhardy, is nevertheless a true indi-
cation of the nerve of the man Shep-
pard. Practically all his life he has
been in the sensational acts. any mis-
hap meaning perhaps death or fatal
injury. To date Sheppard has escaped
Mnscathed, and is simply crazy to
make the jump from the big Benoist
tractor. Those in QUO with the areo-
plane crew are confident something
will be done yet and are hoping to
) have the act completed within four
days.

AN APPRECIATION.

! Murl II. DeF'oe. representative OF
Amos 5. Musselman of Grand Rapids
in the recent primary campaign which
resulted in Mr.. Alusselmans nomna-
tion by the Republican party for the
! goyernorship, gives the following
sketch of Amos Musselman, the man:
Privileged through my connection
with his primary campaign ! had
splendid opportunity TO observe Mr..
MuSselman at close range-the acid
test OF character,
In a letter written on primary
day, he i'm part. said: have made
the best fight knew how during
this campaign and have not done a
single thing that / am ashamed Of
This paragraph typifies the real
character Of Mr.. Musselman-his cam
raign was in harmony with the high
minded ideals he has practiced dur
ing his entire life. Several times
heard him say he would rather be
defeated for the governorship than to
indorse some of the schemes proposed
in his behalf by the practical poll
ticians.
Prominently a hard headed busi-
ness man. Mr.. Musselman does not
provoke the enthusiasm of the aver
age campaign spellbinder, but he
talks in such a way as to convince
his hearers he is a man of sound
judgment and thoroughly honest
even TO his politics. His thirty years
handling big business affairs has nat
urally tempered his optimism. and his
Judgment when formed represents a
cold business solution. This does not
mean that everything he does is meas
ured by a strict commercial rule, but
rather that the proposition has the
benefit of that poise and conserva-
tism that has made him a successful
man of affairs in Grand Rapids and
western Michigan.
Mr.. Musselman is a church man
and has always been a generous sub
scriber 10 every worthy charity in
his home city, and takes an active
interest in every movement for the
social and moral betterment Of his
fellow citizens.
He Is a perfect gentleman. always
the same respected by thousands of
acquaintances and idolized by the men
who hold his intimate friendship as
