lation to thst part Of cdorrison eod{...
ty which once was a part Of Todd. The
work is being done for the State His

Nathan Richardson, who passed away
q few years ago, to our older inhabi-
tants. He hardly ever made speech,
which by the way was generally an ex-
haustive one, but what he brought in
how, while in the legislature, he got
that territory. for Morrison. And it
is certainly fine piece Of territory.

Will OR VEL ROADS
800, 90 WILL BE EXPENDED ON
EAST AND WEST Road AND
NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.

John Il. Mullen, deputy state commis-
sioner Of highways, conferred with Dis
trict Bngineer Fem Tuesday in relation
TO the state road work that is to be
done in the county the coming year.
The Jefferson highway is to be
brought to q permanent grade and the
road which includes the Jefferson High
way from Royalton to Little Falls, and
the road north toward Brainerd to the
Crow Wing line, and the road running
east and west from Swanville to Pierz
will be graveled.
There viii be 100000 expended on
these roads, $4,000 Of which is federal
aid, and $2O, 900 state aid. As the JEFF
ferson .highWay, running from Little
Falls to Lincoln, is not 80 per cent post
road, no federal aid can be expended on
it, and the money for any Improvement
on it will have to come from other
funds. .5.s:
In speaking Of the hard surfacing pro-
gram which Is to come before the leg
islature, and later to the people, MI:
Mullen stated that in case hard surfac-
ing is done on these roads, the gravel
ing will not to lost, as besides the
use of same previous to hard surfacing,
the material will be used in the making
Of the new road. It was the opinion
of Mr.. Mullen that while the gravel
road would hold up under the lighter
automobile trllic, on the main thor
oughfares where The traffic is great and
with the large increase in heavy truck
ing each year, the hard surfaced road is
the only solution.

OCEAN ADVANTAGES
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY X
BRING STEAMERS TO DU-a
.:@, Hs%E $50 :. LUTH. -

Wide interest is being shown in the
project Of bringing the ocean to the
heart Of the continent by developing
an ocean highway from tidewater to
the head Of Lake Superior through en-
largement Of the Welland Canal and the
canalization of the St. Lawrence, by
the joint efforts of Canada and the
United States. One of the results
would be the saving of millions annual
ly to the wheat-growers of the North
west 10y cutting in half the freight
rate on wheat from the Head Of the
Lakes to Liverpool.
The project, which is second only to
that Of the Panama Canal in import
ance and will give to this section the
full economic advantage Of the inland
seas, needs little enlargement to the
broad-minded and far-seeing business
men of the Northwest. s. -
The vision Of natural waterway
from the Atlantic ocean passing in its
course the greatest manufacturing dis
tricts and coal fields in the United
States and ending in the heart of the
richest country in the world in the pro.
ducion Of cereals, livestock, dairy pro-
ducts and iron ore is not new, but new.
er before in the one hundred years of
peace have the governments Of Cana
da and the United States acquired
that spirit Of unity, which now exists
as result Of the war just over, and
which now reaches the time for coop.
erative effort in this project.
The engineering problems to let ocean
traffic into the Great Lakes are not
serious. In fact it is stated that the
water power developed would pay the
interest on the investment.
. It is evident, however, that to inject
such q revolutionizing measure in the
business Of the Nation, will require the
cooperation Of all. - +.
IS It would mean rearrangement Of
railroad rates in favor Of the people
Of the Northwest. It would mean un-
limited possibilities to the wheat grow
ers Of Minnesota and the Northwest.
It would mean the development Of man
.ufacturing in all lines Of industry but
particularly those Of iron and steel,
their products reaching the world g
markets without present competition
Of eastern cities with their four hum
|dred mile rail haul, trans-shipment and
terminal charges. ss ..s y ,..:5~
It would mean unlimited possibilities
TO the wheat grower Of Minnesota and
the Northwest. An average pre-war
rate on. wheat from Duluth to Liverpool
was fourteen cents bushel. An aver
|age pre-war rate from Duluth to Buffa-
10 was two and one half cents bushel.
With the eliminating Of the necessity
OF breaking bulk at Buffalo and the re-
loading at New York, a saving Of at
least six cents bushel could be made
by shipping the wheat directly from
Duluth TO Liverpool. hat this would
mean to Minnesota and the Northwest
would be figured IN millions annually.
