Congressman Lindbergh Calls It Inva-
sion of United States With Min
nesota as Point of Attack.
WOULD HAVE FEDERAL INQUIRY
Call Attention to Fact That Valuable
Meadows and Farms Submerged by
Water Backed From Kenora.


States, with Minnesota and Beltrami
county as the center of attack, in the
opinion of Charles Lindbergh, CON
gressman of this district. .-.s.s&-
The attack, according to the con-
|gressman, consists in the building. of
two great dams at Kenora, Ontario,
which back water in the Lake of the
Woods, causing the waters of the
of valuable meadow and farming land
in Beltrami county and to partially
|submerge buildings.
- Settlers Want Action.
The grass on the meadow lands is
destroyed and other crops seriously
damaged The settlers wrote to the
congressman, asking if something
could not be done to prevent it,
In letter to the Pioneer the con-
gressman says:
b "The invasion of the Dominion of
Canada of the agricultural industries
of Northern Minnesota should at once
be made the subject of inquiry by
the Federal government at Washing
ton and by the international boun.
daries commission, to the end that
the farmers in that locality may
maintain their rights"
: Investigation Shows Damage. :
Mr.. Lindbergh says that in his in
vestigation he first visited the dams
at Kenora, where he found an un-
necessary high stage of water main
tanned. Then he visited the south
shore of Lake of the Woods and the
country inland. On the Minnesota
side he found thousands of farms
valued at millions of dollars seriously
damaged. (, s:zS;7
Lands Worth More Than Power.
''The productive value Of these
lands" he says, ''far exceeds the
value of the water power either in
Canadasor any part Of our own coun-
try. The Canadian authorities haye
Recognized the wrong done to the
American farmers, and some OF the
timbers have been removed from the
tops of the DAMS" The food is re-
ceding, but he contends that that
does not settle the damages already
done or guarantee the citizens of our
country protection for the future.
Canada Responsible

talfsta are responsible for consider

continued, "but that does not ma
terially alter the case, for when Am
orleans operate in this territory that

Serve Private Interests.
In conclusion, the congressman
criticizes the dams erected in North
ern Minnesota for the storing of wa
ter and the prevention of floods: In
this connection he says:
"The government, at great ex-
pense, built dams at the outlet OF
Lake Winnebigoshish, Leech lake,
Gull lake, Pokegama, Sandy lake
and Cross lake, and did other work
along the streams in Northern Min
nesota. Thus far they have served

ids, recently closed by Chief Henry
A. Larson, under the provisions Of
the treaty of 1856. r> !:
The order was given under the
same treaty which is responsible for
Bemidji, Walker, Brainerd, Cass Lake,
Detroit and numerous other cities and
towns receiving the "lid.' A re-
straining order prevented the agents
from closing the saloons on July 80,
the date named by Chief Larson. :
Saloon Men Are Interested.
The hearing here will be held be-
fore Judge c. W. Stanton and 1t
seems likely that the case will be ap-
pealed no matter which way he might
decide. Then there is also the pos
sibility that the district court has no
jurisdiction in case of this kind
Taking this view it appears likely
that the case will again be fought
through the lower federal courts to
the highest tribunal of the govern
ment, the United States supreme
court. 49,.
1t is claimed by the saloon men,
represented by w. w. Barren Of
Grand Rapids, Elmer E. Mcdonald of
Bemidji and Victor L. Power of Hib-a
bing, that the enforcement of the
treaty is not justified at this time in
all of the territory included and that
it was not intended to control a situa-.
tion: which as now exists. :,
May Open All of District.
Another reason why the decision
of Judge Stanton is being watched:
with particular interest is because It
may have bearing on the Teopenfng.
of all saloons closed by the govern
ment. But such a condition is not
expected by the "drys" for they feel
assured that no arguments which can
now be offered will in any wise alter.
the decision of the supreme court In
holding the treaty valid after legal
battle which lasted for more than
four years: In addition the prohibi-
tionists have the much feared county
option law to fall back upon:-

With. exception of two, all Grand

these being the bars of the Pokegama
hotel and McKewen & Mcdonald.
These places. shipped all their stock
of liquor, ETC., back to the wholesale
houses. Agent .Nygard of the Great
Northern has received notice not to
accept any more shipments of liquor
for delivery in Grand Rapids.
1t is expected that Attorneys Nc
Donald and Barron will appear for
the saloon men here Tuesday and
that the government will be repre-
sented by the United States district
attorney.

Despite Refusals of Belligerents to
Listen to Proposals for Truce, the
Plea 10 Given Encourage ~ u
NO DEFINITE SUGGESTION Ma
Countries Engaged in Great Struggle
Would Be Forced to Make Conces-
Gous-Berlin in Better Portion.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, Aug. 14.-Pressure fol
peace is at the maximum point it has
reached at any time since the wal
began. There are indications, too
that the rebuffs which quieted earlier
peace suggestions are not as affec.
tive now as they were formerly. De
spite openly expressed refusals on thu
part of the belligerents to hearken tc
proposals for q truce. the plea fol-
peace shows persistence which must
be considered encouraging.
The first stage of vague compro-
mise suggestions, however, has not
yet been passed. Contradictory
claims as to what would constitute
just peace are being made, and
nothing definite has been put for.
ward. There is enormous potential
power in neutral opinion waiting to
exert itself in favor of peace, but
until definite proposals are made
concerning basis for ending the
war, neutral influences must be with
out effect.
In Better Position.
1t is probable that an electrifying
effect would follow a declaration by
the government of any of the bellig-
erents concerning the terms on which
it is prepared to make peace. In the
very nature of the case, the Teutonic
powers are in much better position
than is the Quadruple entente to take
the first step in this direction. Not
only are the Austro German armies in
a stronger military position than the
allies, but also there is far more like
lihood of Austria and Germany agree
ing on a preliminary basis for peace
discussion than are England, France,
Russia and Italy. 1t is very i'm
probable, in fact, that the latter pow
ers would come to any agreement in
secret at this time concerning reas-
enable terms for ending the war Con-
cessions would have to be made with
no power willing to sacrifice any Of
Its interests.
Consider Certain Terms.
The Germanic allies are not In so
eQuivocal position. They, too.
would have to abandon certain ambi-
tions in the higher interest of Euro
pean harmony, but the nature Of the
concessions and the return sacrifices
to be demanded Of the enemy could be
better formulated in Berlin and
Vienna than in London, Paris, Rome
or Petrograd. OF course, an extra
VACANT demand for loot would destroy
the case for peace and compel the war
to be fought to an end mutually ex-
hausted. But there are certain terms
which would undoubtedly be consid
cred by neutrals as just and if these
were to be publicly announced by any
of the belligerents probably the con-
cluding phase of the war would be
in sight.
Prince Won Beulow is reported to
have declared at Hamburg that Ger.
many must have proud peace" The
surest way to keep Europe fighting
to the bitter end of mutual destruc-
ton is to talk at this time of "proud
peace" Since his failure at Rome,
however, Prince Won Beulow has not
been in favor with his government
His Hamburg speech, therefore, may
fail to interpret the peace spirit OF
German craftsmanship.
