Special Legislative Letter to the Willmar Tribune
by John Lawson.

There are those who predict, howev-
er, that the senate will not be so cas-
lily won over when the matter comes
before them. The question is a big
ole and may appeal to the magma
ton of senators as we'll as represen-
tatives.s That if practicable such /,
canal would be Of vast benefit to- the
state there can be no doubt, and
whether it is practicable or not there
is no. way Of finding out until the
ground is gone over by engineers who
understand their business.
- NEW FISH HATCHERIES. Z
There is talk of two =. new fish
1hatcheries, one to be known as the
Lake Superior State Fish Hatchery
and to be located in. ST. Louis OF
Lake county; the other to be located
at or near Granite Falls. The sub
ject Of fish and game is indeed get
ting a little more than its share Of
attention these days, due to the in
.quiry into the commission method
of doing business. There will as a
result be small disposition OH the part
of the legislature to make appropria-
!. tons unless there is some assurance
that those trusted with. the spending
Of them will he required to turn owe,
a new leaf Indeed it is regarded as
not altogether improb that it may
be suggested to the governor BY the
house that change iii the executive
Offices Of the fish and game depart
ment is at the present time impera-
tive. Mr.. Spooner suggests impeach-
ment, but it is Doubt full il the house
will go as far as that. The simpler
way would be for the governor to ask
for some resi- tlations an reorganize
the departm Mt. This is the line. Of
action that IS generally anticipated.

St. Paul, March 19-Mr. Spooner
scored decided victory when the
house adopted his bill providing for
Il survey with an ultimate view of
building a canal six hundred miles
long from the northermost part of the
stale to connect with the Minnesota
and Mississippi rivers and to make
a great inland lake by damming the
waters drained from lakes, rivers and
swamps at Granite Falls. This is
what is known as the Mershon plan.
in connection with the canal, it locks
to the development Of the WATERPROOF
ers of the state. 49,. .-.....
AN AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
The project is variously viewed.
Some say that it is the dream Of :,
visionary and utterly impracticable.
Some say, and among these was Mr..
Harrison of Washington county, him
self an engineer Of considerable re-
putation, that it is the clever scheme
of a Chicago promoter to organize a
movement which, once begun, no man
can see the end of, to furnish a soft
snap for lucky engineers for years
TO come. Others, and these are by
no means the men of least influence
in the house, see with prophetic Wis
ion the canal one day dotted with
huge barges carrying the grain Of the
Red River Valley and the iron ore Of
the Vermillion, the Mesaba and the
Cayuna ranges over a cheap route
TO the markets Of the world. They
See, too, vast waterpowers developed,
and at busy towns on the banks Of
the canal thriving industries estab-
lished to meet the varied wants Of a
great population, the wheels Of the
factories being driven by hydro cleo
tric power. They see the country
traversed by network Of trolley
lines whose cars get their power
from the same source. Looking at
the matter as they do they regard the
appropriation Of $50, 900 the bill car
RES, as mere bagatelle compared
with the enormous benefit that will
one day accrue from its exp diture.
