TO DISCUSS LOWER
WATERS IN LEECHLAkE
Meeting is Called at Federal Dam
Dec. 8; to Affect 100000
Acres of Land.

Federal Dam, Mimi, Nov. 2.-Leg-
| islation affecting more than half a
million acres of land in Northern
Minnesota will be discussed at d
meeting to be held here about Dec.
8, when the matter of lowering the
high waters in the vicinity of Leech
Lake will be taken up.
Commercial Club Acts.
This action comes as the result of
conference of the Federal Dam
Commercial club and George a.
Ralph, formerly Minnesota state
drainage engineer. Representatives
will be invited from all towns, vii
lagos and cities along the Mississippi
river valley district affected by the
six Federal reservoirs which are To-
Gated at Leech, Winnibigoshisn
Pokegama, Sand and Gull lakes and
at Pine River. It will also include
the representatives of all the water
power companies that will be affected
by this action, all of which are be-
tween St. Paul and Grand Rapids
Lands Are Flooded.
In the vast territory affected is
100000 acres of reserve land in
which there are many acres of mea-
dow land which is made useless each
year by the summer floods. These
floods, the residents of the vicinity
Of the reservoir assert, are caused by
the spring waters coming down the
Mississippi river and when they reach
the reservoirs, which are full, the
stream overf1ows, putting the hay
crops under water for the greater
part of the summer. The remainder
of the land belongs to settlers or pri-
vate owners. It is also the intention
of the settlers in that vicinity that
if the waters in the reservoirs are
lowered to ask the government to
rent the meadow lands on the federal
reserve lands for hay and grazing
purposes.
The territory to be affected lies be-
tween Bemidji and Brainerd and
should the summer floods be elimin-
ated will mean additional agricul-
tural resources for this city, accord
ing to local land men.
