NORTHERN DEVELOPERS MEET
Approximately 800 Delegates Attend
Meeting at Hinckley-In-
portant Doings.

Hinckley.-The Northern Develop
ment association, embracing all the
counties in the northern part of the
state, held a two-day session here
last week with number of excellent
spakers present, besides the officers
of the organization.
Nearly 300 delegates attended from
the various counties.
w. R. Mackenzie, secretary OF the
organization, accomplished a great
deal for the association during his
term of Office. This was especially
evident when the roster of delegates
was compared with that at the for
mer meeting of the association, held
here two years ago. At that time
there were only 40 members present,
and the fact that there were nearly
eight times that number present last
week speaks volumes for the work
accomplished by the associations Of
ficers in the past two years.
Contrary to the original plan, the
movement for a second state fair in
northern Minnesota was not pressed
on the floor of the convention.
The association called for an en-
tire change in the policy of the state
immigration board and commissioners
and recommended public domain
department. 1t also called for an
agricultural soil classification and ap-
pointed a committee to confer with
other state development associations
regarding the formation of a state
league. Beaudette was selected for
the next summer convention.
A convention to consider land
clearing in northern Minnesota was
set for July 1 at Duluth.

WILL CONTINUE CANAL FIGHT
Legislative Commission Decides to
Appeal From Decision on Super
ior-Mississippi Waterway.

st. Paul-Minnesota will continue
her fight for a ship canal to connect
Lake superior with the Mississippi
river. This was decided upon at a
meeting of the commission appointed
by the recent legislature to push the
project, in the governors office.
On May IA the local board of United
States army engineers reported against
the feasibility of the project, holding
the expense was not warranted, owing
to the existence of low railroad rates
between st. Paul and Duluth with
which a canal could not compete at a.
profit.
From this decision the commission
decided to take an appeal to the gen
eral board of the United States engi-
neers at Washington and a formal
notification of the action of the COM
mission was ordered transmitted to
l.. M. Garrison, secretary of war, at
Washington. The board of engineers
must set date for a hearing and
the entire matter will be reviewed by
them before final action is taken.
The Minnesota commission is COM
posed of Governor Eberhart and Judge
Ira b. Mills, chairman of the Board of
Railroad and Warehouse commission
ers, Senator George H. Sullivan of
Saltwater has been the moving spirit
in pushing the project and introduced
the resolution in the Legislature au-
thorizing the appointment of the COM
mission.
If funds are available, a number of
witnesses will be sent to Washington,
should the hearings be had there, to
testify as to the commercial value of
such a canal
1t has been twenty years since the
first proposal was made for this canal.
In 1894 army engineers surveyed two
routes, one by the way of Rum river
and the other by the Brule and ST.
CroiX rivers. They reported favor
ably on the latter route and estimated
the cost of canal eighty feet wide at
$7,500,000. In 1899 another report was
made recommending the same course
and estimating the cost at $6,012, 500.
Both reports, however, advised
against the construction of the water
! way because of the factor of railroad
competition.

TWO HORSES ARE HORRIBLY

Accident Happened on Vacated Prop.

Blame-Man Leaves Seven
Unprotected Orphans.

ST. Paul.-The city of st. Paul prob

the accident at Second and Minnesota
streets Sunday, which resulted in the
death of Cyrus Kimball, a driver for
the Crescent Creamery company, in
which two horses also were killed

Corporation Attorney O'Neill and
other city officials have started an in

fence which gave way at the top of
the bluff above the Omaha yards, al
lowing the team and it's driver to
make a plunge of sixty feet, was not

Gated some years ago in favor of the
Omaha road.
The curb to which the fence posts
were fastened was put in by the city
at the time Second street was paved.
The fence, however, was built by the
railroad company.
The Accident.
kimball was killed, two horses he
was driving were crushed into a mass
and his wagon was reduced to kind
ling wood, when the horses plunged
60 feet to a brick pavement below.
The rig crashed through the frail rail-
ing and over the bluff with roar.
John Bower, assistant manager of the
Crescent Creamery company, for
which Kimball worked, narrowly es-
capped.
The driver had no time to jump
as Bower had done While still try
ing to manage his horses, before he
even had an opportunity to look be-
hind him, he was thrown with tremen-
dous force from his seat, in reality by
giant catapult, sixty feet below, to
the brick pavement of the Omaha
freight yard He was dead when ply
sicians reached him at the hospital,
and seven children are orphans.
The Horses Mangled.
One of the horses was split in two
when it struck at the bottom of the
wall, and the blood of the animals
and the man made the scene a sham
bles. The wagon was broken to piec-
es, and, mingled with the blood that
spattered the pavement, were multi
colored bricks of ice cream for Sum-
day dinner tables, with which the
wagon had been loaded

Hundreds of people thronged to the
place to see the broken curb and the
pile of kindling that was a wagon be-
fore it backed over the cliff. Patrol
man Sullivan stationed there to pre-
vent another accident had difficulty
keeping the crowd from climbing on
the temporary fence built. Many
risked a similar accident in an eff
fort to get a good view.
