Little Rock, Ark, Sept. PA
deep waterway from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico would lower
the cost of living to the millions OF
people in the Mississippi valley and
eventually to the whole population OF
the United States.
This claim was made today in the
opening address of President William
K. Kavanaugh, of st. Louis, at the
ANIMAL convention of the Lakes to
the Gulf Deepwater Way association.
Illness made it impossible for Presi-
dent Kavanaugh to read his paper
and Vice-president E. S. Conway of
Chicago performed this duty.
The project would benefit the
country more than the Panama can
|al, declared Kavanaugh and he sug-
gested that the workers and machine
~ employed on the Isthmus be trans
ferred from the completed canal to
the Mississippi river. The deep wa
terway would cost considerably less
than the Panama canal, said KAY
anaugh
"A very important phase of this
deep waterway" he declared, has
been indicated by the. recent record
breaking floods in the Mississippi
valley. These floods have been more
damaging than one before. I am
in favor of the federal government
taking over these levees and perfect
ing them along the most advanced
scientific principles. High levees
were not high enough to overcome
the flood danger: Constant dredging
was necessary, said Kavanaugh.
The development would conserve
the richest alluvial region in the
world he said, ''capable of support
ing the population of the entire
planet. The value of the Panama
canal is a mere bagtalle compared to
this completed project. I do not be-
lieve that the canal will be of such
benefit to the people of the United
States that its cost would indicate
unless this deep waterway is quick
ly completed
The argument that the deep wa
terway would lower the living cost
was named on the report of c. P.
Austin, expert Of the commerce and
labor department. at Washington.
'The average price of transporting
wheat on railways is ten cents per
bushel for 1000 miles, on the ocean
one cent per bushel for 1000 miles,
said Austin.

FOSSTON HERE SATURDAY
Football Team Will Play High
School at 3 P. NJ. in Place of
Grand Rapids.
SEASON SCHEDULE COMPLETE

Fosston will play Bemidji at the
fair grounds at p. m. Saturday at
ternoon in the place of Grand Rap
ids. The Grand Rapids management
phoned last night that they wanted
a game later in the season and asked
that it be postponed. This was ar
ranged and Fosston will come in
stead.
One week from Saturday, the Be-
midi team will go to Thief River
Falls to play the high school. Grand
Rapids is scheduled for October 49,,
Brainerd for October &c and Crook
ston for November 9. This leaves
Bemidji with open dates October -
and November but Coach Carson
does not believe games will be sched-
uled for those dates.
In letter today Crookston says
that Bemidji is expected to win the
championship of this end Of the coun-
try and the Crookston people want
to play Bemidji late in the season.
Crookston expects to win over teams
at the western end and then wants
to beat Bemidji for the champion
ship.
Coach Carson is having some trou-
BILE in finding officials as the chang
es in the rules prove somewhat con-
fusing. 1t is probable that A. E. Mel
son will referee. w. z. Robinson UNI
pire and Harold Dane will act as
head linesman.

Is Given Democratic Nomination for
County Attorney Though Lack
ing One Ballot.
CLEMENTSON WINS IN SECOND
Carries the District By Having
Twelve More Than A. J. Hiden
Rulien Close Third.

At p. m. Monday afternoon the
county canvassing board finished it's
work Of making official count of the
primary votes, reported to the audi
tor and was discharged. The board
started work last Friday, but was de-
layed by the second choice feature.
The towns Of Stevenson and Wash
kish sent in no returns and it is not
known if an election was held.
Although he had one vote less than
the number the law calls for, A. A.
Andrews was declared nominated as
the board believed the strict letter of
the law should not be observed in
this case. Mr.. Andrews received if
ty-three votes but should have re-
ceived fifty-four to have been
clearly nominated. AS the Democrats
held no convention in this county, he
had to receive a percentage of the
Democratic vote at the last election.
~ The race for commissioner from
the Second district proved close, but
Hello Clementson was renominated
by plurality of twelve votes. His
nearest opponent was A. J. Hidden
who received Lightweight votes VIII
liam Rulien deceived eighty-three
votes and N. A. Rippy fifty-two. The
second choice votes were counted but
did not materially change the re-
suit
The official returns give Hazen
eleven more votes than the unofficial.
The vote for sheriff is placed at: Ha-
zen, 713; Johnson. S22; and Nolan,
81. Johnson was declared the nomi-
nee, as he received six more than a
majority of first choice votes.

found a table which gives the COM

JOKE ON NIKE DOWNS
Finds Lost Dog In international Falls
in Home Where He is a Guest
at Supper.
NOW BELONGS TO JOHN DORIAN

Friends of John Doran, formerly
CT Bemidji, but now in International
Falls, and Mike Downs are laughing
at the result of a practical joke play
ed on Doran by Herbert Doran, his
brother, and Gerry Brannon.
Some time ago, John Doran wrote
to his brother, Brennan and Downs
to find him a good bird dog and send
it to International Falls. Herb Dor
an and Brennan decided they would
play, joke on John so picked up the
first bird dog they saw and shipped
it to International
A few days later Downs missed his
dog, and after hunting in vain gave
it up for lost Business took him to
International Falls one day and John
Doran invited him out for supper.
At the Doran home, Downs found his
dog.
'Where did you get that dog, ask
ed Downs.
why, you fellows sent it up from
Bemidji when I wrote down for one,
Why?" asked Doran.
well, I had nothing to do with
the shipping and it happens to be
my dog" replied Downs.
Explanations followed. It appear
ed that one of Doran's children had
become attached to the dog SO Downs
told Doran that he could keep the
animal.
In the meantime, Brennan and
Herb Doran are having trouble con
vincing Downs that they did MOI
double cross him by stealing thu
dog.

IRISH LEAGUE
VIII Have william Red
mond at philadelphia
Convention.

Michael ]. Ryan, of Philadelphia,
President of the United Irish League
of America, on Sunday received a
letter from John e. Redmond, the
Irish home rule leader, stating that
his brother, William Redmond,
would sail from Ireland on Thurs
day of this week to attend the ma
tional convention of the league to be
held in Philadelphia the latter part
of this month, and declaring that so
far as Great Britain is concerned the
battle for home rule has been won.
"Ouf only mbarrassment,'sSs he
says, sis in the attitude taken .aGykg
a Section OF the people OF lister. y
Continuing he says: This attitude
will not of course prevent the
passage of the home rule bill, and
my own strong belief is that after
that measure has become law, with
that strong common sense which
characterizes Northern Irishmen, our
present opponents will rapidly fall
into line. The home rule bill will
therefore pass through the House of
Commons before the end of this year.
but l take it for granted that 1t will
be Immediately rejected by the
House of Lords. This means that we
have practically two years struggle
yet before us. During that time We
will need all the material and moral
support which is possible from our
fellow countrymen abroad"

URSULINES
Occupy Their EIegent New
Convent at New
Orleans.

For the first time in almost a CEN
fury no curfew was tolled Sunday
evening from the old Ursuline con-
vent below the city of New Orleans.
The reason was the convent had
been deserted, as the nuns removed
Saturday to their new home in the
uptown section of the city. The
Ursulines had occupied the convent
Just abandoned since 1924. Some OF
the Sisters had lived in the historic
old building from girlhood to old
age and their ride Saturday from the
old to the new home in special cars
gave them their first experience in
trolley cars. In 1922, when New
Orleans was only a village Of a hun
dred cabins, the Ursuline nuns came
there from France. They have been
first class tenants, for though almost
two centuries have passed since their
arrival this was only their second
moving day" For more than 100
years the nuns occupied a convent on
Chartres street, near the center of
the city, but in 1924, on account Of
The enoroachinent~ OF BUSINESS they
established their convent several
miles below the city and on the
banks of the mighty river. Year by
year the Mississippi in its peregrina-
tions shifted its bed and has con-
stantly encroached upon it's banks
until recently it was deemed neces-
sary to appropriate the property of
the Ursulines for levee purposes.
With the exception of the Ursulines
at Quebec, the Ursulines at New Or
leans are considered the Oldest or
ganization of nuns on this continent.
