Board to Ask Recommends
ton of Report.

The East Grand Forks Commercial
club. with the clubs of Thief River
Falls, Grand Forks. n D., and other
cities on the hanks Of the Red and
Red Lake rivers has been notified by
Representative Halvor Steenerson OF
this district of the hearing before the
board Of engineers tor rivers and har-
bors in Washington yesterday. on be-
half of the proposed survey Of the
Red Lake river. The hearing is an
appeal from an adverse report to the
board from district engineers.
Bill Was Killed.
Provisions for the survey were in
cluded in the rivers and harbors bill
before the Sixty-fourth congress, but
this measure was caught In the jam
at the end Of the session and failed
to pass.
To Protect Water Supply.
Representative Steenerson con-
tends that the survey should be made
in order that the Red Lake river
to provide flood protection along the
Red Lake valley and to protect the
water supply from Red Lake to such
cities as East Grand Forks and Thief
River Falls.
District engineers have reported
that it is not feasible to undertake
to make the Red Lake river navigahle.
While the objection is formidable
to a certain extent, Mr.. Steenerson be-
!ieves that the government must take
cognizance of the drainage feature.
The bureau of Indian affairs hopes
soon to undertake drainage work in
the Red Lake reservation at an esti-
mated cost of $500, 900. The Red Lake
river is the only outlet available.
