A series of public meetings, one of
them to be at Harpers Ferry, May 9,
will be held forthe purpose of pro-
viding a preliminary survey of the
Potomac river from Washington to
Cumberland with a view to making
the river navigable. 1t is believed
that the Improvements will necessarily
take the form either of dams in the
river itself, with locks with internal
canals at such few places as may be
found necessary, or by laternal canal
the whole way from Georgetown to
Cumberland on one bank or the
other of the river, or it may involve
the purchase and improvement of the
lie. & o: Canal. Information is es-
pecially desired covering the follow
ing: Commercial statistics relating to
the prospective commerce of the i'm
proved river Character of. the arti-
cles which would be transported, and
probable tonnage. Sizes of craft for
which it would be, most desirable to
provide. Whether the improvement
should provide mainly for towed
barges5 or seE-propelled boats. Saw
ings to the communities interested, in
the way of reduction of freight rates.
Possibilities of disposal of water
power, if developed, and probable re-
turns per horsepower year that NIGH
be expected. Whether local coop
Iieration in the cost of the improve
ment can be expected in reasonable
amount. All of these subjects will be
discussed at the proposed meetings.

Mora, speaker of the House, filed to-
day as Republican candidate for state
auditor Auditor Iverson is out as a
candidate for Governor against Eber-
hart, and it is doubtful if Rines has
any opposition for the Republican

speaker and, practically had the en-
dorsement of the legislature as candi-
date for auditor. He is owner and
editor of the Mora Times, has been
county auditor for ten years and a
member of the legislature for the past
four terms. His platform is for econ
omy and he advocates that the auditor
should be held jointly responsible
with the governor for legislative ap-
preparations. He Also Iavors the in
vestment of state funds at home. He
is al years of age, of Scandinavian
parentage, and is man of excellent
ability and pleasing personality.

DRAIN tile BEST
Progressive Farmers Beginning to
Realize That They Must
Adopt This Method.

The farmers of Minnesota are
slowly coming to realize the fact that
the only way low piece of land can
be permanently drained IS by the use
of a suitable tile. Open bitches are
an improvement over normal affairs,
but they are only temporary at best.
Tile once properly laid drains the
land for all time. It costs a trihe
more, but this is more than made up
in the permanency of the improve
ment.
The Herald is pleased to note that
Lee & Gingery Co, Sank Centres pro-
gressive lumbermen will do their full
share in encouraging the farmers of
this section to use tile for draining in
the future. They recently unloaded a
car of the famous Mason City tile
which they will sell to the farmers Of
this section at actual cost satisfied
that trial will convince any practical
tiller of the soil that it will pay him
to use only tile for this sort of work
in the future. They should not be
slow in taking advantage of the COM
pany's. generous offer advertised else
where in this issue Of the Herald.
