Data to Be Used by Governor to Sup
port Recommendation to LegisIa-
ture for Drainage Laws.

Governor Burnquist has announced
q survey of large areas of land in
Western Minnesota subject to flood
damage. The data will be used by the
governor to support a proposed rec
concentration to the next legislature
for further drainage legislation. The
survey, Governor Burnquist said, will
supply this information:
Number Of acres flooded in each
river basin needing drainage
Amount of land flooded along outlets
by reason Of artificial drainage.
Estimated damage to crops.
Number Of bitches and miles of ar
tificial drainage and the necessity Of
larger outlets in each case.
Amount of money spent on drainage
In each basin.
Determination of feasible reservoir
SITES
Number Of acres of state land un-
sold and in need of drainage.
Number of acres of United States
land unsold and in need of drainage.
The survey will be undertaken in
dependently, the governor said, al
though the drainage committee of the
All Minnesota Development associa-
ton may cooperate and will have &C.
cess to the information gathered.
The expense Of the survey will be
paid from the governors contingent
fund, but whether the work will be
placed under the supervision of the
state drainage engineer remains to be
decided, he said.

BuRNQuISI ON RANGE STRIKE
GOVERNOR MAKES STATEMENT
EXPLAINING HIS ATTITUDE.
No Undue Violence by Sheriffs Is Re.

st. Paul. - Governor J. A. A. Burn
quist in an open letter to member
of committee of the state federation
of labor that conferred with him re.
garding the miners strike on the Me-
saba iron range in northern Mime
sofa, made his first formal statement
anent the strike that began in June,
and explained his attitude.
Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist's atti-
tude as explained, briefly, is as fol-
lows:
No undue violence by sheriffs or
deputies was reported by four i'm
partial representatives he has had
in the strike zone.
Requests that the national guard
be sent to the range were denied in
belief that the sheriffs could pre-
serve law and order.
The governor would have visited
the strike region had not visit by
the chief executive in 1907 been
followed by more acute situation.
Efforts to obtain an arbitration
agreement failed but hopes are en-
tertained that Federal investiga-
ton now in progress will be the
basis for mediations and concilia-
ton.
Laws will be enforced impartially
and malfeasance or nonfeasance
charges when proven will result in
prompt removal from Office Of
sheriffs or deputies.

Hardships Come First.

Lucky" Baldwin was one of the
well-known characters on the Pacific
coast up to few years ago, when he
died. His case is contradictory in a
way, as his "luck" came only after
such struggles and hardships as few
men go through. AS prospector he
was near death many times and lived
in desperate poverty for the greater
part of his life. Then he made a strike
in prospecting which left him fabulous
ly wealthy. His sobriquet of Lucky"
is decided misnomer here, especially
as family troubles and litigation en-
FILTERED his last years.
In glancing over the lists of those
who control the largest fortunes in
this country, 1t Is often impossible
to realize how it comes that men Of
such varying qualities attain success.
Where does this success come from,
anyway? Is it fOresightedness, Is It
strength of character, force of person
atty?
Or Is it quality called luck?

exactly what has happened in the case
of John Tories Meyers, the college
bred aborigine.
The chief has had a rather pic
turesque career. A graduate of Dart
mouth, he took three-year post-grad-
uate course in baseball In the minor
leagues and came to the Giants from
st. Paul in 1908, costing the club So

he jumped into the limelight as q

by the New York fans with open

RACE cOLORING DUE TO FOOD
Diet of Various Peoples Said to Be
Real Cause of the Difference in
Hue of Skin.

Certain authorities hold that the pig
mentation of the races is due to feed
ing. 1t is pointed out that in the ami
NAL world color is often determined
by food, and it is cOntended that by
chemical process the same results are
shown in the different human races.
According to this theory. the original
man was black, since his chief diet
must have been vegetation. Fruit and
vegetables contain manganates that
ally themselves with iron, constituting
q "dark brown combination"
Negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege-
tables.
Indians are red, 1t appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
haemoglobin, the red substance In the
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason of the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia, became shep-
milk, which contains chlorine and has
q bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whittier by adding salt
to their dietary Common salt is a
strong chloride and powerful agent
in bleaching the skin. The effect can
be seen, it is declared, in the case of
negro children who have been reared
on white" dietary. They are never
as black as their kindred who have
not abandoned vegetarianism.

WHY CANNOT HURLERS BUNT7

Reason for Twirlers' Failure to

Miller Higgins, manager of the st.
Louis Nationals, is In the market for
q course of instruction or some in
ducement that will make his pitchers
good hunters. Higgins, who formerly
led the league as sacrifice hitter.
cannot understand why the average
pitcher pushes the ball hard enough
to make an easy out or pops up dinky
fly when trying to advance a man.
When 1t was suggested that he offer
q bonus, he smiled. 1--WE tried It," he
said. 1--WE even called them out to
special practice, but the pitchers won't
get the knack."
Higgins believes this Is due In great
measure to the ObsessiOn fostered from
the sand lots up through the minors to
the big league that the pitcher is not
supposed to hit.

that the Dodgers were stealing his sig.
