GROUND HOG DAY.

Next Wednesday is Candlemas
day, better known in most parts of
the country as Grounding day. That
day, according to popular supersti-
ton, is a barometer for the remain
der of the winter and in some way
the ground hog is given credit for
playing the title role for this day.
On that morning he is supposed to
open his eyes, stretch himself and
go out into the open for look
around. If he sees his shadow he
goes back for another six weeks
sleep, but if he does not see his
shadow, he concludes the worst of
the winter is over and stays out
side.

Editor, Daily News: I have writ
ten the following letter to Congress-
man Lindbergh:
Regarding the upper Mississippi
reservoir system, the settlers and
land owners in the 9Th district would
like to have you introduce a resolu-
ton in congress at once, to the ef-
feet as follows:
TO have the war department, or
whoever has authority over the Po-
kegama, Winnibigoshish and Leech
Lake reservoir dams, start at once
to let out the water gradually dur
ing February and March, so as to
lower the level, if possible, three
feet below the stage of last fall, and
in this way, during the months of
February and March, give the water
powers from Grand Rapids to st.
Paul the benefit of the surplus waters
in these large reservoirs now during
the time of the year when the natural
flow of the Mississippi river is very
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-01-28

low, and the second purpose, and
most vital one, for the agricultural
development, is that if on April 1
the level of these three large reser-
voirs would be reduced between two
and three feet, there would be am
pie storage room when the spring
foods come to store all the surplus
run-off water in the water sheds
of these three reservoirs, without
flooding the farmers hay meadows
or agricultural lands, or without
overlooking the dams so that the
surplus water, for which there would
be no need or use, would be flowing
past the several water powers be-
tween Grand Rapids and St. Paul
during April, May and June, but
that every cubic foot of water could
be properly conserved.
A whole lot can be done towards
coordination between the war de-
partment, the water powers and the
settlers without any new improve
ments being made at the different
dams, and when later on it is found
that such a cooperative work will
prove beneficial, arrangements car
be made to lower the channels OF
the gateways so that the winter
level can be gradually controlled, &C
cording to the needs each winter.
Quite heavy frost came on last
fall so that the swamps and the
ground is we'll frozen, and with thu
deep snow that we already have, ant
prospects for great deal more be
fore the first of April, the volum,
of the spring runoff this year will
be quite large.

AN INJUSTICE,

One Of the biggest injustices of the
Indian treaty which prohibits the in
PRODUCTION of liquor into this terri
tory is that some of the violators are
arrested and are made to pay the
cases dropped, and others for some
reason or other are not arrested.

NOT FOR DESTRUCTION.

The signs that are being placed
along the rural highways in this
county are not placed for the pur-
pose of being destroyed Every cit
iZen should make an earnest effort
to see that the signs are preserved.
The Bemidji Farmers clubs should
appoint committees to see that no
one destroys the signs.
