It is a crime to let these natur.

It is crime to let these natur-
al resources go to waste. refer
to water power and navigation, as
we'll as to permit the most fertile
and valuable land in the world to
be rendered worse than useless for
no other reason than the lack Of
energy and cooperation.
The only way to conserve a
water power is to harness it up
and not let it run to waste. If some
i"f these people who talk about
conserving the water powers
would make som. effort To have
them improved, harnessed and
utilized by someone, the Govern
menk and the state Or individuals,
it would be cOnselvation: nut to
. undertake to pass legislation re-
serving powers {" the state or to
the nation, to be left in idleness,
is a dog in the manger.''
Owing to the fact that navigable
lakes and rivers are involved,
forming part of the boundary of
three states. the project should
be handled entirely by the FEEDER
al government, having in view:
list. Preenting the overflow
of thousands of acres of land
along the Red and Minnesota
river valleys.
2nd. The development of water
powers necessarily incident to
such improvements by construc-
ton of the reservoirs and dredg-
ing of the streams between the
same.
Bird. The improvement of nav
igation.
The proposed legislation should
provide for reasonable assess
ment for all benefits to land and
property to be derived therefrom
to be repaid to the government in
equal annual ASSESS ments-say
covering thirty years at 3 per
cent interest per annum. and also
for reasonable rental charges to
municipalities or others along the
line of improvements for the use
of water powers, which would pro
badly aggregate 10000 horse pow
or per annum or 5000. 900 per an
mum. which would pay interest at
5 per cent on $4,000. 900 annual
ly: but. surprising we cut this esti
mat" in two which certainly is
safe. we would still have revenue
enough from the water power to
pay per cent interest on s6,OOO,-
600 annually. while the improve
ment would probably not cost to
exceed three and half million.
Hoping that this agitation may
be carried onto successful issue.
Yours very respectfully.

Major Jones report, covering a

Major Jones' report, covering a
! portion of the Red River Valley
down to the foot of Big Stone lake
was quite complete but perhaps
his dyke at the foot of the lake
was a little too high. TO carry
that project on through down to
st. Paul, by dredging the rive,.
from Ortonville to Lac Qui Parle
fLake perhaps down nearly to
Montevid", then making another
large reservoir with dam at Red
wood Falls, which would cover a
lot of stony rough ground and
dredging the river from Redwood
down, would absolutely control
the flood water from breckenridge
to st. Paul and greatly relieve the
Red River Valley, redeem thous-
ands of acres of land and make
the Minnesota river navigable as
far as Mankato and greatly i'm
prove navigation of the Mississ-
lppl river at ST. Paul.
You will notice that the dam at
or near Monticello in the MinneSn-
ia river would give an immense
reservoir clear back to Marsh
lake, near Cornell. The banks
are high all along the Minnesota
river, aside from the marsh bot
toms. which are worthless and
HE reservoirs thus constructed at
Redwood. Lac Qui Parlc. Big stone
and Traverse, ] believe would
take care Of practically all of the
Rcd rAer floods. Traverse
lake should probably be held at a
considerable height above Big
Stone lake with a lock so that you
could commence getting power at
Browns Valley. Could have an
other power at Ortonville. one at
Lac Qui Parlc lake. and an i'm
mense power at Redwood Falls.
where there would probably b" Il
iO-foot head. The power pro-
j"ct could be- arranged i'm some
way similar to whatever final ar
arrangement they make i'm refer
"nce to the high dam in the twin
rities.
This. tn my mind, is one of the
most important features of the
whole scheme. The water DOW
rr> could all be connected IN one
wire. so that the smaller streams
flowing into the Minnesota river
could also h" harnr>sed and for
a considerable" portion of the year
would furnish an immense amount
Of power. il would not pay to de-
velope without the big reservoirs
which would be used during low
water times.

gether and inseparatable. 10

Minnesota valley without taking

all the way from Ortonville (,

ldea,' and say: ut simply means
that in this twentieth century of
commercial supremacy and agri-
|cultural efficiency, the farmer and
the business man must unite and
in the fullest sense of
the term" They have stimulat-
ed business in the local commun-
ity, better roads are the direct re-
suit, and the farmers and mer-
chants have better understand
ing of one onothcr. Today many
business building schemes are
successfully assisting the farmers
and town merchants to cope with
mail order house competition.
Through organized effort you
will be more able to assist the
farmers To select, breed and feed
their dairy COWS, build siOls and
better barns. grow better crops
and obtain a greater yield of but
terfat per cow. You should help
them obtain the best prices pos
sible for their cream. This can

to both the farmer and the COM
munity. This immediate as
siStance to the farmer would give
them il greater income and event.
ually build up business. This
is possible and each member here
should try and interest his Com
mercial Club to promote dairying
and be doubly active in promoi-
ing a higher standard i'm dairying.
Finally, if the farmer earns
little. he spends little. If he
earns much. he spends more, be-
cause he has more to spend. The
farmer is the chief source of i'll

Furthermore, impounding the
flood water is like storing up coal
to be used i'm firing an engine.
Therefore, no one can afford not
even the Government itself TO
build reservoirs to furnish water
for someone rlse's waterpower.
We have held meetings at
Slak"pre. New Ulm, Mankato,
Henderson, Granite Falls and St.
Paul and succeeded in having send
delegates to congress. Congress
passed IA bill appr"priating money
for survey of Big Stone lake
and the Minnesota river with the
view of cooperating with water
power companies or others in
constructing reservoirs, as the
government engineers appointed
on previous surveys had reported
that it would not pay to construct
the reservoirs for the purpose of
navigation alone. To meet the
requirements of this act, we organ
lied the Minnesota River Improve
ment 4 Power Co.. which was duly
incorporated, with the view Of
having towns and farmers along
the river subscribe for stock, the
idea being that the people along
the river were to furnish half of
the cost of the improvements. AS
We We're not in a position to guar
antee the Government that we
could raise half of this expense
we were not i'm a position to urge
the legislation.
1t seems to me that now that
you people have awakened, it
would be good plan to call a
meeting either at Browns Valley
or i'm your Community Building at
Wheaton. composed of delegates
all the way from st. Paul to the
Canadian border to work out a
plan for united action.
1t seems to me that it is high
time that the policy of the gov
eminent be changed from the old
order of things. From time inn
memorial Congress has been pas
to millions Of dollars to keep the
Mississippi from Overlooking at
the lower end. at the same time
spending millions Of dollars to re-
claim desert lands through irriga
ton projects. Thus millions of
dollars have been sunk i'm the low
or Mississippi valley doesn't pro-
duce a penny of revenue. Where
as. if the Government would adopt
the plan of constructing reser-
voirs along the tributaries of the
Mississippi river. as is proposed
along the Minnesota river the
flood waters of all these tributar-
les to the Mississippi would be
converted into waters powers and
the water used Qeer and over
again for usedful purposes in
stead of flowing on down the VAL
leys as an element of destruction.

WRITES ABOUT

Following is Il letter from tn"
pen of \. b. kaerchrr, we'll known

IT is addressed to Sam y. Gordon
editor Of the Browns Valley Trib-
une and deals with the question
of how best to care for the flood
water which annually causes such
heavy loss in the Red River ana
Minnesota River Valleys.
We believe our readers will en-
ioy persual of the letter and get
some good ideas therefrom. And
let us hope that it is the beginning
of a concerted movement to settle
for all time one of the most vexed
and vezing problems which citiz-
ems of this section have had I"
deal. This letter. which APP

Hon. S. y. Gordon:
! Dear Friend: notice by the
paper that you and people at
White Rock and Wheaton are a.
gain taking up the old scheme of
connecting Big Stone and Tray
erse Lakes, with view of turning
some of the flood water of the
Red River country this way. 1t
is too bad that you people did
not coonerate with the people of
the Minnesota River valley from
ST. Paul to UrtMlville, but it is
more surprising still that you
should take the matter up now
alone without consulting or ask
the cooperation Of the Minnesota
River Valley. Now, want you
to understand that | am not say
| ing this to find fault. but in he II.
tercst of seeing the project car
f.; rl"d through successfully.
1t is big scheme and per-
fectly practical and feasible. but
it must be carried out along big
lines in the interests of the pco-
pie Of both the Minnesota River
valley and the Red River Valley.
No one section can hope to- get a
scheme through that will relieve
them and cast Il heavier burden
on another section.
! We have had all the surveys
that are necessary. The Minme>o-
Ia River has been surveyed sever
al times. Big Stone and Trav-
erSe lakes have been surveyed sew
eral times. 1t has been DEM
,onstratcd beyond any question of
doubt that the Minnesota river
furnishes 55 per cent of the wat
'er of the Mississippi River at st.
Paul, and that Big Stone and Lac
! ul Parle lakes and the proposed
reservoir at Redwood Falls would
practically control the flood wat
"rs of the Minnesota river and
by adding this to Traverse lake,
which we always had in mind with
tn" proper dredging of the Min
iIrSota river between the rrSer-
v"irS Il large volume of tlumi water
of the Red River could hc taken
care of i'm these reservoirs with
safety. and the power developed
will more than pay for the en-
tire Improvement.
f; have no doubt whatever but
what this project can he carried
through successfully if the pco-
pie of the Minnesota River valley
and the Red River alley will unite
at the same time with energy de
handing the same thing. Not
a visionary. wild project. such as
Mer>hon advocated. but some
thing practical that would not on
ly save and redeem thousands of
acres of land. produce water pow
er than would more than pay for
all the expense.
