Special to Gateway by United Press)
 BEMIDU, Minn., Sept, 2.-A,navi- gable channel from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico that would put the water that covers l,25O,OOO acres of land near there in the Gulf, was plan ned by a committee meeting here to- day.
 A committee of All Minnesota De- yelopment Association and citizens of Beltrami country, most seriously eff fected, met here. The proposed cost is $25,OOO.OOO. The Mississippi river is navigable to St. Paul and it is plan ned to bring the channel of the canal to that point.
 The canal also would pass through the region of Red Lake, the largest lake in the nation entirely within one state. This lake gradually slopes in- to vast expanses of swamp land with out a shore line and it is primarily to drain this huge territory that the can al is proposed. River traffic from the gulf to Winnipeg also is to be consid- cred.

The addition of the attorney generalship to the offices to be filled by election is make the campaign in Alaska this year more interesting than usual as it brings to the political stage of the most prominent and ab est lawyers in the territory. Previously there only the inevitable WickerSham and one or two others most of whom had not been trained speakers, but now shall hear the GrgsbyS SchohedS CobbS roasting each other and Wickersham the opponents of Wickersham. And then will come the redoubtable James himself and when
 it to roasting he shines Indeed he is accused by his enemies of depending rather roaStS than arguments Nowadays the chief political argument seems to be nected with carpebaggers and what GrgSby called hy penated AaSkanS but remarkable circumstance about this is that very many of the running for the office could be called one the other GrgSby admitted having

CULTIVATlNG COMPETENCE.

1t is fact that modern efficiency
and humanity progress hand in hand.
Capital is finding that as it betters
labor conditions it also increases the
products of labor. So it is that a
policy of fitting men to their jobs in
stead of firing mistits is working for
the good of the employer and EN-
ploye alike.
Formerly an incompetent workmen
was simply fired and a new one was
sought to fill his place. No one tried
to find the cause of incompetence; no
one made any attempt to correct the
workman's fault He was fired And
in all probability he rarely under
stood the reason and tackled his next
job with the same incompetence.
Time and money were spent in
breaking in a new worker Neither
the employer nor his discharged
workmon gained anything by the
move.
But in many American factories
this absurd system is being abandon
ed in favor of creative plan. A
modern application of the old truth.
praise a man for one thing and he
will try to make good in everything"
is introducing new methods in the
workshop. The worker is separated
from his machine and granted the
possession of brains. He is made a
thinking part Of the shop. Reasons
and causes are explained to him. He
is given the work he can best do
And his ambition and interest in his
work are stimulated by deserved
praise. Of course, il all means that
the workman comes to see his own
| job as essential to the success of
| the whole. And that is the best thing

WITH THE MOVIES
Orpheu1n

At the close of the great MOB
scene in "The Witch.' the picturiza-
ton of Sardou's famous play THE
Sorceress,'' presented by William
Fox, Nance O'Neil, who is being fea'
tured in this film, collapsed. The
work had been grueling. Starting at
10 O'Clock in the morning, there had
been continuous rehearsals ana
scenes produced, all of which were
done under broiling sun.
In the mob scene, where Miss
O'Neil is supposed to be burned at
the stake, she is carried over the
heads of an Infatuated mob Of nearly
a thousand men and women. Miss
OiNeil's work in this scene was par
ticularly hard and trying to the
nerves and at its close she collapsed.
She was able to walk to the studio
door, but at that point lost control
of herself and burst out crying.
Fans and cold water were applied
literally and in ten minutes she was
ready to take part in another hard
scene.
"The Witch will be shown at the
Orpheum Theatre tomorrow, matinee
and night only.

LOCAL WEATHER BULLETIN
CANAL WORKING AGAIN.

The Panama canal is open again
better than ever. Not only has the
vast quantity of defris that slid into
the ditch been removed, but the chan.
mel has been made 800 feet wider at
the place where the menace was
greatest. General Goethals says there
is no probability of SO great a slide
ever occurring again. or of the canal
being blocked for any considerable
period.
The opening brings grateful relief
to shipping, particularly our own
coast to coast traffic and the through
traffic from Pacific ports to Europe.
The two or three dozen ships that
lay waiting for passage to be cleared
are once more live tonnage, and all
the ships that have for several
months been making the long trip
around Cape Horn have their sailing
time shortened by many weeks.
1t amounts virtually to adding
scores of vessels to the worlds ocean
traffic, at time when every avail
able bottom is needed because of the
ship famine caused by the war We
shall appreciate the canal all the
more, now that we have learned what
it means to us and the world.

APES TO SERVE MANKIND,

DR.. Jules Goldschmidt of the Pas.
teur Institute, Paris, has a unique
plan to promote the welfare of the
race. In a statement to the American
people, he proposes to use the an
thropoid apes as living laboratory
for the study of deadly diseases and
problems Of human growth.
Most of the progress Of recent dec
AIDES in the treatment of disease, DR..
Goldschmidt reminds us, has been
made possible by experimentation on
animals. Surgery owes much to vivi-
section. We obtain our anti-diphthe.
ria serum from the horse. Exam
pies might be multiplied indefinitely
But in nearly all such work there is
serious handicap. The animals
utilized are so different from man
that scientists cannot be sure that
a disease or remedy will act on hu.
man being as it does on the animal
This is where the man-like apes have
a peculiar value.
1t has been discovered that the
blood of the gorillas, chimpanzees
and ang-outangs is the same as hu.
man blood. They have similar ply.
sique, are subject in general to the
same diseases, and show about the
same symptoms. Thus, for nearly all
medical purposes, the apes may be
treated as substitutes for men and
women.
He wants, therefore, to establish
an ape colony, where the animals can
live under normal, healthful condi.
lions, and where medical experts can
perform all sorts of experiments on
them. He suggests small island in
a tropical or sub-tropical climate.
The French government had actually
granted for this purpose long term
lease of the island of Kos, off the
west coast of Africa, but the war pre-.
vented the carrying out of the pro
ject. DR.. Goldschmidt now appeals
to America. He would like to have
the use of a small island in the Phil.

Grand

The dainty, magnetic little star,
Marguerite Clark, surpasses all her
former screen successes in "The
Pretty Sister Of Jose" the famous ro-
mantle play by Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, and Maude Adams former star
rim vehicle. This five-part screen
drama is the latest production of the
Famous Players Film Company on the
Paramount Program, and the current
feature attraction at The Grand today.
The title role of this subject has
been so constructed as to exhibit to
the fullest extent Miss Clark's many
capabilities. 1t is that Of a peasant
girl, full of life and buoyance, instinct
with naughty Spanish pride and throb
bling with the power. of love, who
comes for the first time to live amid
the splendors and delights of Madrid.
She has seen her mothers wifely de-
votion scorned by cruel husband,
and she has resolved that her heart
shall never own lord. But there is
Sebastiano, the matador, hero of the
arena, whom all the women Of Madrid
love with an ardor unknown to Pepi-
ia. She witnesses the sad fate Of one,
Sarita, who dies because of her hope
less alteration of him, and Pepita's
fear of love, already strong, is inten-
sified in her heart But SebastianO,
who has never before really loved,
and who has bene all tenderness and
solicitude for the humble Sarita, sees
Pepita and falls madly in love with
her. Then begins the struggle. Pepi-
ia loves him in return, and as her
love grows. the terror of it also grows.
Day after day she holds the splendid
matador at bay. At last, his just
heartlessness, and he leaves to 50 to
far city. Pepita is humbled by her
long agony. Then, at the bull-fght
arena in the distant city, to which
Pepita finally goes for sight Of him.
he becomes unnerved at the sudden
and unexpected conformation with
the girl he loves, makes a false move
in his fight with the bull, and is
wounded almost to death. 1t is only
as he lies between fire and eternity
that Pepita is conquered, and with
her declaration of love calls him back
to life.
1t is not necessary to say that Miss
Clark can portray this complex and
bewitching web of emotion as no one
else on the screen. She is admirable
in her scenes with Sarita, dying for
unrequited love for Sebastiano and
full of tenderest and awe-struck hor.
ror at the sight of the fatal result Of
Sarita's love. She is even more adj
mirable when, she first confronts the
matador, and with shoulders thrown
back and head aloft glares scorns and
defiance of his power. These are the
moments Of her highest art, moments
that will always linger in the memory
of the thousands who will see her in
this great characterization. This be.
witching screen drama will remain at

ing a new industry in North Dakota

of gasoline within that State 1t is
well known that the Wilton Coal Min
, ing Company employees from 400 to
600 men at this time and that the
coal interest of the State are very
large.
Senator McCumber has presented to
| the Bureau of Mines of the Depart
| ment of the Interior proposition that
| the Bureau shall make experiments
in producing benzol from Ignite coal,
so as to furnish power for use by
farmers in their traction engines and
by automobiists throughout the state,
1t is we'll known that the Rittman
process for increasing he output OF
gasoline from petroleum was invent
ed by one of the experts of the Blu
| reau OF Mines, and Senator McCum-
Der believes it is well worth the ex-
pense that will be involved to have
an investigation directed toward the
manufacture of benzol in the way in
| dictated. 1t is understood that this
Ignite coal will yield from three to
ten gallons of benzol per ton, but in
| order to make such an industry pay
it will be necessary to utilize all pro,
ducts that can be obtained from this
process. Senator McCumber is fol
lowing this matter very carefully and
is devoting considerable time to it.
These dispatches will show progress
that is made along the lines indicated.
The plans for the Federal building
at Dickinson, u. D., have not been
