The Haskin Letters
The Lake of the Woods.
(By Frederick ]. Haskin.)

Wy L COCI I'm u 44aDh144st
The central point in the many dis
putes regarding the use of the inter-
national boundary waters between the
United States and Great Britain, is
the Lake of the Woods, a seemingly
unimportant body of water about
evenly divided between Minnesota
and Ontario, the lake covers more
than 1400 miles of water and it's sur
face is dotted with at least thou
sand islands besides peninsula which
is almost an island and has a land
surface equal to nearly third Of
the expanse of water. Lake of the
Woods is the outlet of RAINY river
'ehich forms the northern boundary
line between the state of Minnesota
and Ontario. Il is also the beginning
IF Winnipeg river, which connects il
with Lake Winnipeg upon the north
west. The region surrounding the
Lake of the Woods is romantic and
wonderful attractive. Its resources
are seemingly limitless. They include
primeval forest land, rich farm land,
hunting and fishing, and practically
unlimited water power which may De
developed for industrial purposes.
It is only within the present ger
Grafton that the value Of this north
western lake region has begun to he
understood. Surrounding the Lake of
the Woods are countless other bodies
Of water, some too small to be called
more than ponds and others have
areas of many miles, such as Lake
Winnipeg and Rainy lake. The drain
age of Lake of the Woods basin has
been in dispute about fifteen years
In 1892 the Canadians began to de-
velop water power from it's outlet.
They received permission from the
Canadian government to construct a
dam on what was then called Rat
Portage. This began the town of
Kenora, which is now q fourishing
western city. It's flour mills and its
other industries as well as lighting
and street railways, are operated by
power supplied from the dam. By
the time these industries were in op-
Grafton, the water level of Lake Of
the Woods had been raised by the
| dam so that it overflowed its boun
daries. Thousands of acres of farm
lands located along the northern
boundary of Minnesota were thus sub
merged and formed the basis of COM
plant against the use Of these boun-
dary waters for industrial purposes.
This complaint has never been salts
factorily adjusted, although settle
ment is now under consideration.
A few years after the establish
ment of the Kenora dam, the United
States gave corporation permission
to develop water power at Koochi-
ching fells upon the Rainy river. This
river is the principal tributary of the
Lake of the Woods. The utilization
of its power on the American side
created dissatisfaction among the
Canadians who felt that their in
terests were not being considered
The Canadian government then
granted a corporation privilege of
building a dam across Rainy river at
that point, with the understanding

| tile water system governed largely
by the Lake of the Woods and its
surrounding waters will amount to as
much more. 1t has been stated by
competent engineers that a million
horse power might be developed at
single point along the St. Lawrence
river between New York and Ontario.
The various differences which have
arisen regarding the rights Of each
nation in the water system controlled
by the Lake of the Woods might have
been confined to the jurisdiction of
one government if the United States
! had persevered in establishing its
northern boundary at the line run
ming at 81 degrees and 40 minutes,
north latitude, as was at one time
thought possible. In the early his
tory of this country little Importance
was attached to the territory of the
northwest. There were so few white
persons in the territory west of Pitts
burg and north of the Ohio river that
no populati is recorded there in the
first census taken in 1890. The peace
commissioners concluding the treaty
after the Revolutionary war were pri-
vately instructed that so long as they
secured recognition of the indie
pendence of the United States and
satisfactory settlement of the fishing
rights, they need not stipulate even
for the territory south of the ST. Law
renee and extending as far west as
the Mississippi river. Benjamin
Franklin, however, foresaw future de-
velopment and insisted upon this
boundary being fixed.
Within the next half century
American explorers penetrated what
was then known as the Oregon
country. American missionaries
to the Indians had gone along the
northern Pacific coast, and their work
with that of the explorers brought
the beginning of American settlement
in this region. Upon the strength Of
these explorations, many Americans
were of the opinion that the United
States possessions along the west
ern coast should extend to meet the
Russian territory of Alaska, which
reached to "a degrees, 40 minutes,
north latitude The words "ffty-
four forty or fight" became the slo-
gan of the northern Democrats be-
tween 1910 and 1914. In 1912, a
treaty was concluded between Daniel
Webster, then secretary Of state Of
the United States, and Lord Ashbur-
ton, the minister from Great Britain
In addition to granting certain east
ern fishing rights along the north
Atlantic coast, this treaty fixed the
northwestern boundary of the United
States at the 49th parallel of latitude
running westward from a point upon
the shore of Lake Of the Woods. If
the spirit of the political cry fifty
four forty or hight" had been adhered
to, the United States would not only
control all of the interior water power
belonging to the Lake of the Woods,
but it would also, by the purchase of
Alaska, have secured the entire
Pacific coast. At that time, however,
the interest in acquiring the southern
and western territory conquest upon
the annextion of Texas and the Mex
lean war overcame the interest in the
northwest. The slogan of "ftfty-four
forty or fight was forgotten and
even the location Of the Lake of the
Woods was practically ignored for
half century.

that as large a plant be erected upon
the Canadian side as upon the Ameri-
can side. This dam is now known
as International falls. Upon the
American side town of that name
now has a population of over 10000.
The biggest wood pulp paper factory
in the world is in operation there. On
the Canadian side the town is known
as ST. Francis. A paper mill of the
same gigantic size is under construc-
tion and already the town has a
population of 10000.
The increased water power for
these enormous plants naturally low
cred the water below the dam. Con-
sequently complaints have come to
both governments from lumbermen
who do not at times have enough
water to float their logs, from navi-
cation companies who complain that
the operation of their steamboats, has
been interfered with, and from fisher
men in that region, who have for
years secured valuable food fish all
along the shores of Lake of the
Woods. The fishermen claim that the
changing of the level Of the water in
the lake has destroyed the natural
spawning grounds for the fish and
thus interfered materially with their
industry.
Each Of these complaints will re-
ceive the attention Of the joint com
mission recently appointed by the
United States government and the
British government for the purpose
of 9ettling boundary water contro-
versies. After the necessary survey
is completed, the commission will be
in a position to decide what should
be the proper level for waters of the
Lake of the Woods with regards to
all interests involved. 1t may decide
that the great industrial plants which
caused the submerged lands are OF
more value to the future development
of the country than the acres of farm
land. If this should prove the case
the recommendation will be made tina,
the owners of the submerged lane
be reimbursed to it's full value, and
both governments will be ready t.
carry out such recommendation Much
of the land submerged was almost
unimproved, having been taken uI
hastily after some Of Indian reserva.
tions were thrown open to home
steaders. Part Of it was swampy and
would have required large expendi-
lures to make it profitable. On the
other hand considerable amount OF
really valuable wheat land was in
jured in this way.
The adjustment of the water power
conflict, in order that each industry
may develop its own plant without
interfering with the growth of the
others is much more difficult prob
lem than the submerged lands. il
can only be secured by scientific
measurement of the water power
used at each point and a proper pre-
caution taken to avoid waste Due
regard must also be given to the sani-
tary effect upon the adjoining land
as such utilization must not interfere
with the necessary drainage of thai
land. The value of natural water
power has only lately begun to be
realized upon the western continent
Within the past fifteen years tbs
United States has developed nearly
six million horse power. It is esti
mated that the undeveloped power o.

Here is the deadly parallel between

"A woman senses more than she

sons without much sense.
"A woman remembers when she
ought to forget, a man forgets When
he ought 10 remember
