The Card-Playing Face

There is no question OF a doubt that
the cardpiaying women acquire hard

The craze for cards, when it takes
hold of woman, is nothing less than

Beneficent Results.
(By Franklin p. Merrick) J


Paris, Feb. 5.-Among the benefi
cent results which may come from
the Great War is the realization OF
the project for a tunnel under the
English Channel, connecting the al
lies of France and Great Britain.
This was discussed first just before
the Franco-Prussian war. After thai
conflict the British strangely feared
that the tunnel would be military
danger, inviting invasion from the
Continent.
1t is is now generally realized thai
the tunnel, instead of being a danger
would be England's greatest bulwark
1t could easily be destroyed if the
enemy captured the French end; in
fact 1000 men could hold it against
10,000,O00. On the other hand, il
would enable reinforcements to be
thrown quickly between France and
Great Britain.
If England were invaded, several
French corps could be sent through
the tunnel in one quarter the time
that would be taken now. The trains
could be made up in any part of
France and discharge the troops and
their impedimenta at point in Eng
land near the battle front
The advantages which the tunnel
would have been to General French's
expeditionary force last August are
too obvious to need emphasis. If
the tunnel had been in existence
Northern France, and even Brussels
might have been saved.
Albert Gauthier, a former member
of the French Chamber of Deputies
has just addressed the following ap-
peal to the English people on the sub
ject of the tunnel:
"You have won greatness in history
by your intrepidity and your strength
1t seems that your intellect shines
forth more clearly and your will pow
er is heightened in times of peril.
I'VE are now together passing
through one of those grave crises ir
which the destiny of the world is de-
cided. You English are in the best
position to comprehend the lesson of
the events that are occurring and to
take action accordingly.
"Consider what power would be
ours if your boundaries were elimi-
mated, if our armies could be made
rapidity of communications by rail-
"The present war has already dis
sipated great many prejudices and
misunderstanding. We have learned
to know and to love one another, and
the mutual feeling of high esteem
which some among us already har-
bored has, at the present time, pene-
trated to the very heart of the great
masses of our two nations.
"On the other hand, the first can
non shot fired by the enemy at the
English coast has destroyed the il
lusion that England owed its safety
to it's isolation.
''If our military forces were con-
nected by railway lines, our heroic sol
diers could, within a few hours, rem
der each other support without ever
having to risk the possibility of be-
ing shut off or delayed by the fitful
sea.
"You know what force and what
daring Germany can show through its
ability to transport millions of people
from one end of it's empire to the

other. 1t would have been defeated
already if it had not possessed that
network of communication lines. One
cannot conceive of any effective mill
tary strength without full freedom
and speed in it's operations. Our own
strength would become tenfold, if our
armies could combine their forces,
without mourning any danger what
soever, through a tunnel under the
Channel, which would make London
only four hours distant from Paris.
"You are not ignorant of the fact
that the submarine tunnel project has
been abandoned several times for rea-
sons the inanity of which is now ap-
parent and fills our spirits with dis
may. If that work had been carried
through our united strength and in
tangiblity would have been such that
the German barbarians never would
have dared to defy us. 1t was the
Franco German war of 1870 that
caused the suspension of work on the
submarine tunnel 1t is the Franco
German war of 1914 which will, prov
identially, impel us to resume that
work and to carry it speedily to Il
successful end under the eyes of the
thwarted and terror-stricken barbara
ans themselves. For thereon depends
our future safety.
"They wanted Calais. OF course,
because the conquest of that city would
have prevented the realization of this
project, the great Importance of
which they have fully comprehended.
Well, we will, just the same, open
our first shafts at Dover and Calais,
before peace has been signed, right
under the enemy's fire. We must
give this demonstration of our union,
of our strength, just before the time
arrives which will see the birth of a
new Europe.
"While waiting for my proposition
to take practical form, with the aid
of the press, the authorities and ex-
perts, l now simply ask of your Eng
lish, our friends, our allies, our
brethren in arms: What do you think
of it,"
In mentioning the work on the tun-
mel before 1870, Mr.. Gauthier referred
to the project of a French engineer,
j. A. Thome de Gamond. In 1867
he showed specifications of a tunnel
scheme at the Worlds Fair in Paris.
William Lowe, an Englishman, had
been laboring on the same problem,
and they combined forces, finally in
ducing the French and British gov
Iernments to appoint an international
commission.
1t was reported by the commission
that the tunnel would cost $50,000,00O
and would take about twelve years to
build The scheme seemed to be max
ing satisfactory progress when the
blight of the war settled upon it.

There has been a series of petty
robberies taking place in Sank Cen
tire for the past several months, cul-
minating in the burglarizing of the
Perkins drug store last evening, at
which time nearly 5000 worth of
goods was taken, consisting in a large
measure of Photographic supplies. A
small amount of change, pennies, was
taken from the cash, but the sack con-
tanning a considerable sum was over
looked. Entrance was made by boring
a series of holes in the back door and
saving out piece of the door large
enough to allow a hand to enter and
unlock the door. AS there is a small
shed in the rear of the store it was
possible for the crooks to work under
cover in making entrance.
The Rowe Hardware was broken in
to about two weeks ago at which time
several revolvers were removed, with
other merchandise. Both robberies
are evidently the work of the same
gang and to the Herald it looks like
local talent.
Chief Fish is working hard on
the case, and he is accommodating big
bunch of evidence that some one will
have a hard time to explain. One of
the leaders of the gang was returned
to the reform school several weeks
ago.

I'd to the writer that he considered
that whenever a sober, industrious
man settled on a quarter section of
vacant land, transformed it into a
home, started a citizen factory, be-
came a producer, a consumer and tax
payer, a source of revenue to the ma
ton and a wealth-creator in the COM
munity where he locates; that it was
worth as much to the Dominion, en-
tirely Independent of his value in the
community where heh located, as
though some one had deposited in the
treasury of the Dominion perpetu-
ity bond, bearing five per cent inter-
est. This is "a conservative estimate
of the monetary value of every new
settler who builds up a farm and
makes home on a quarter-section or
less vacant, unoccupied land in any
state or territory, to the state or ter
ritory, not taking into consideration
his worth to local business, local en-
terprise and local upbuildment.

ton was created there were about

state. This area of undeveloped land
would constitute 61,875 quarter-sec-
ton farms. Of course all of the land
so sold has not been occupied, but it
is safe to say that there are 10000
farms existant in Minnesota today on
what was vacant virgin land seven
years ago. Taking the estimate of
the Canadian financial statesman, it
would mean that $30,000,000 has been
added to the revenue producing power
of the state or an annual income of
$1,500,O00. There is no doubt that the
state census of 1915, which the leg
islature decided not to take, for fear
it might rebound to the political ben
eft of somebody, would have demon
strated that the above estimate is
much too low.
1t is not for a moment claimed that
all this influx of settlers was due to
the work of the Minnesota Immigra-
ton Commission, but those who are
posted concede it was one of the most
important if not a more important
factor than all the others in bringing
about this result. Suppose that it
was responsible for only one-third,
10000 settlers; the Bureaus work in
the seven years it has been in exist

(By Hon. Frank M. Eddy)


One of the most valuable, although
one of the least exploited departments
of the Minnesota government, is the
Bureau of immigration.
1t was organized about seven or
eight years ago by an act of the leg
islature creating a Board of Immi-
grafton, consisting of the Governor,
the State Auditor, the Secretary of
State and three outside members ap-
pointed by the Board who appointed
a Commissioner and Assistant Com
missioner of immigration, who have
direct charge of the Bureau. The
primary object of the Bureau was and
is to advertise the advantages and OPP
portunities that Minnesota offered to
those people of the older and more
thickly settled portions of the union,
who desired to change their business
and especially their farm locations.
The people, unless they have given
the matter careful thought and con-
sideration, do not have even a meager
idea of the value of this line of work.
There is nothing of so little value to
a state as a state or community as
a community as a piece of vacant and
unoccupied land; it is liability ra-
Their than an asset.

gacious and conservative of the mod

can be readily seen that the work of
the immigration Bureau, instead of
being finished, is only fairly begun.
Four car trips have been taken UNI
der the direction of the Bureau,
through the states of Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and Missouri. The first
was taken under the direction of J. S.
(Sam) Fullerton, and the others were
conducted by C. S. Benson, Harold
Knutson and Frank M. Eddy. All
were successful and were followed by
a large influx of desirable immigrants
from those states.
This year the railroads made pro-
hibitive rate for transportation, and
side-track room of the exhibit car,
and a different plan was adopted.
