THE RED RIVER.

The army engineers have decided tha,
the Red river of the North is not worth
liking. AS matter of navigation onl,
it is probable that they are right. River
navigation except for purely local pur.
poses is not of much value when paral
leled by railroads. There we're two pro
positions brought before the board that
deserved consideration. The control ol
the flow of the water, first by dams a,
the heads of the many lakes that sup.
ply the stream and second by the erec.
ton of dams to hold the water and per-
haps for use for power.
We were told at meeting at Grand
Forks two years ago that the army en-.
gineers would not recommend any i'm.
proyements Except fin the interest OF
navigation"
This in face Of the fact that millions
of dollars have been appropriated TO,
little streams that perhaps never had a
steamboat on them; that the U. S.
government at that time had dam at
one of the large lakes at the head of the
Mississippi the only use for which was
to supply water in dry times to the log
gers and to the Minneapolis mills. And
since that time the govern
ment has destroyed a big dam at st.
Paul which was intended to make MINI.
eapolis the head of navigation and are
now replacing 1t with another dam to
cost several hundred thousand dollars
which is ostensibly to do the same thing,
but really is to furnish electric power to
the Twin Cities.
Why this farce about navigation?

K. u. MASTERTON. MGR,
THAT TERMINAL ELEVATOR.

We do not know very much about the
Equity Society. We do not know very
much about the elevator business or
what great advantage it might be to
North Dakota to have a terminal ele.
vator at st. Paul, though it is quite cer-
tain that such an elevator would be Of
some advantage to St. Paul.
As a general principle We should Ger
tainly be opposed to the state of North
Dakota going into the elevator business
just as We would oppose the state going
into any other business, of a private
nature.
We do know that the way that We
have been selling our wheat in Mime
apolis is Objectionable in many ways, all
perhaps embraced in the general idea
that we send our wheat to that market
and allow the buyers to do all the hand
ling, grading aud pricing. That the sell
ler is at a ,.i>advantage in such trading
| is obvious.
But whether terminal elevator at
st. Paul is the remedy is business pro-
position to ne considered by business
men who know what they are consider
ing. 1t is not matter of mere opinion
of the mob, aud far less is it political
or party Issue.
But there seems to have been one mat.
ter ascertained in the controversy and
that is that the leaders and managers of
tue Equity scheme havn't any more
policy than brindled COW. They have
attempted to bull doze the legislators
into the scheme instead of trying to show
them. Not only at this time but at all
other times when the attention of ths
public is called to the Equity society
1t is because they are at the head of some
kind of a row.
We think that the Equity society is IN
great need of some new officers before it
can attain success.

STILL wATcHFULLY WAITING.

Well, we may be waiting Tor something
to happen in Mexico. but the same old
story of miscellaneous revolution goes
ON. Every day the conviction is made
more certain that it is only question OF
time when something down there will
happen that will compel the United
States to tske charge Of that unhappy
land.
It wsll not be pleasant job. There
will b. nothing in it for US hut expense
and trouble. but it will be up to US to
do it.
What we can do with the kind Of
people that now live there will be very
problematical.
1t will be no small task to make the
average Mexican capable of taking care
Of himself under free government.

Moorhead, Minnesota is torn up over q
clash between the saloon element and
ants. At meeting of the commercial
club last week tbsre were three appli.
cants for membership, two preachers and
one an ex.convict. The two preachers
we're blackballed and the eA convict was
elected member. The rank and file of
Moorhead has sworn vengeance and
threaten to clean out the liquor interests
at the general election in the spring.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Along the lines of France-Belgium it
ss the same old story, assaults aud count.
or assaults, many killed but still no real
progress. How much longer this can
hold is a question. When one thinks OF
the great loss 10 men, and the prodiglous
amount of powder aad shot wasted every
day along q fighting line of almost three
hundred miles, we begin to wonder how
much longer the supplies can be had.
Along the Russian, and Austrian-Ger-
man line in the east there are many
great armies moving. but as yet nothing
decisive.
The sensation of the week was the ap.
pearance Of a German submarine off the
west coast OF England near Liverpool,
which destroyed fise English merchant
steamers. This exploit has shown that
the submarine is capable of going long
way from home with comparative safety.
The only wonder to the writer is that
the submarine was content to do so
little damage as the sea in that vicinity
is full OF vessels at almost all times.
Several vessels we're chased but escaped
through better speed. The great draw
back to the efficiency of the submarine
at present seems to be. speeu and per-
haps range. Both of these will un-
doubtedly be added IN the near future
and then the dreadnaughts will have to
look out.

Greece and Entente Upon Cor.

entente powers have been estab-

ment's assurances that no attempt

the allies troops should they un,

to cross the Greek frontier aud
that, as heretofore, railway and

That the assurances and the
guarantees are satisfactory to
the allies is shown in the fact
that Greek grain ships which
had been held up at Malta have
been very serious shortage of
destinations, relieving what
would have been a very serious
shortage of bread supplies it their
detention had been prolonged.
1t is understood that the allies
have also promised Greece a
monetary indemnify after the
war for any damage which might
be done through the occupation
of Greek territory.

More tenants aIe moving this
fall than any fall in several.
This is not an encouraging sign
of progress along agricultural
lines. Farms should be leased
for longer periods of time. The
old idea of moving every year
or two is bad one. Rich soils
can not be made by tenants who
farm, if it can be called farming,
with no thought of bettering the
condition OF the soil for the next
crop. Those who rent for one
year at time naturally try to
get every thing possible out of
the land and give no thought to
the permanent Improvement of
the soil. They can't see the
need of stable manure, because
they only get results from por-
ton of what they use. They
don't care to improve land for
somebody else TO work. Land
should be. leased for 5 or more
years at stated rental, so that
the tenant would be sure of
reaplng the fruits of his labors
without paying additional rent.
1t is not fair to charge a man
rent for improvements he makes
himself.
