THIEF LAKE NOW
4 BEING DRAINED.
Big Project Completed and Waters
of Red Lake River Raised
& Considerably as Result.

Thief Lake, a body of water five
miles long and three wide, will soon
be drained and it's bed will be occu-
pied by fine farms. The work of
dredging, which has been going on
for a year, has been completed, and
the first of the drainage waters
reached here sometime last night.
Red Lake river at this point is con-
siderable higher and very muddy as
a result.
A rather unusual condition was
encountered in this drainage project.
Thief Lake is the outlet for the
Moose river flowing from the east,
and the bed Of this stream is con-
siderably lower than the bed of the
lake. It was therefore necessary to-
run canal Of the same depth as
the river through the center of the
lake to the outlet, which is the
source Of the Thief river. There is
also considerable of ridge at this
point, and it was necessary to cut
through this in order to get to
level with the bottom Of the canal.
The work was done by the Kohler
Contracting company, having sub
contract from the, Northwestern
Drainage company of this city.
Hunting Ground Gone.
The drainage of Thief lake will
destroy the finest duck and goose
hunting section in the north. The
region has been sportsman para
disc since the days when the Indian
was monarch of all he surveyed and
strong protests were filed against
the project for this reason. Drying
up the lake will, however, make
available for cultivation one Of the
most fertile sections of land in the
state and is justified from every
point Of view.-Thief River Falls
Times.
We are not familiar with con-
ditions at Thief Lake, but we have
heard a number of Marshall county
people deplore the fact that the
county is to be deprived of its only
lake. Furthermore, we have been
told that the bottom Of the lake is
! of such character that it will never
make good agricultural land. How
ever, we presume that the state and
county authorities have looked
thoroughly into the matter and have
found that the benefits resulting to
adjacent lands from draining the
lake more than overbalances all det-
riments from utilitarian, aesthetic
and sentimental point of view.
Good bye, Thief Lake!

John Skoog Pleads Guilty

John Skoog, one Of the young men
who escaped from the. county Jail
in July last year, was apprehended
at Plaza, N. D., last week and
brought back to this city by Sheriff
Hanson. Yesterday afternoon he
went before Judge Grindeland and
plead guilty to the charge of grand
larceny in the first degree, the Of
fense being robbing the 500 depot
in company with Arthur Olson on
Feb. 13, 1915. He was given an
indeterminate sentence ait Saltwater,
whittier he was taken last night by
Sheriff Hanson. John Skoog has
been at large since he escaped from
Jail, but evidently had tired of be-
ing fugitive from justice and said
when apprehended, that he was
glad to take his medicine, get
square with the world and after his
release begin life over again as a
good and upright citizen. Young
Skoog has lots Of good stuff in him
and he is to be commended for his
resolution to turn over new leaf
He is till young and will live, we
believe, to become an honor to him
self and to this community.

HUGHES SAYS RAIL
LAW is SURRENDER.
Nominee Declares Failure of Peace
full Settlement is Near to
Government Abdication.

Hampton Beach, N. H., Sept. T.
Charles E. Hughes in an address
here to-day referred to the Adamson
law mot as an eight hour day
law but wage law" and declared
that failure of peaceful settlement
of industrial disputes was tut
another step, from the abdication
Of government ITSELF" His audi
ence applauded loudly.
"We cannot afford to surrender
what we have won for our institu-
tions in this country" the nominee
said. "What have we won? We
have won the right to free discus
sion, a free press, democratic
form Of government, free assem-
blage, free legislatures and an ex-
ecutive chosen by the people. We
have left autocracy. We hav, left
tyranny. We have left force. They
shall not come back if we can pre-
vent it.
Called "Deplorablc Surrender
GIVE have recently seen what !
regard as a very derlorable sur
render of that principle. I am for
the arbitration Of industrial dis
.putes. That is in the interests Of
labor. Labor cannot afford to sur
render that principe.
eve have recently had, at the
proposal Of the executive, an act
passed by congress confessedly in
ignorance Of the facts, confessedly
in ignorance Of what justice
demands. It is not an eight hour a
day law. It is wage law ard
nobody knew whether it was just or
not.
Investigate Then Legislate." 4
"Now, I am for justice in every
thing, but I propose that in all we
do we shall investigate first and
then legislate. Our methods in this
country are of priceless Importance
to us because they are methods
which conserve our peace. 1t is
only one step from peaceful settle
ment of such disputes to the de
nunciation of our courts and all the
machinery Of peaceful settlement.
It is only another step to the abdi-
cation of government itself" ~

BUYS Imported PercherOn

Joel Engelstad has unloaded an
imported Percheron horse which
was shipped up from Illinois. This
is one of the finest horses that ever
walked through the streets of War

engage a horse next spring as he
has the size, bone and build that a
horse should have.

Hunting Season is Now On.

This city was practically deserted
the latter part Of last week on ac-
count Of the opening Of the hunting
season on Thursday. Some parties
who were out returned with the
limit, which is ten, but others came
back with only three or four birds
and some without any. There were
not as many hunters from other
cities as in former years, one rea-
son for this being the reported fact
that chickens are scarce in these
parts this year. If a game reserve
were established in Marshall county,
it would help preserve the game, or
a law might be passed permitting
chicken hunting only every second
year. AS the slaughter is carried
on now with dogs and long range
guns, not enough chickens are left
at the end Of the hunting season for
seed for next years crop.

Good Yield Of Wheat.

Gust Lindstrand, wheat buyer at
the Spanlding Elevator, reports that
John /. Skurdahl, one Of the we'll
known farmers near the city, raised
% bushels of wheat to the acre on a
twenty acre tract, the quality being
No. 1 Northern. This exceptional
Weld is ascribed by Mr.. Skurdahl to
The fact that this particular field
lies alongside a cornfeld which
seemingly absorbed the hot winds
and thus prevented the spread Of
,1,st among the wheat. The yield
IN other farms in the neighborhood
averaged less than 10 bushels to the
acre.
