Opponents Open
Fire onDeepSea
Waterway Plans
Passageway From Great Lakes
Through St. Lawrence River
To Atlantic Ocean Said
To Be Impractical.

New York. Oct. 19.-Criticism of
the proposed deep sea waterway
from the Great Lakes through the
St. Lawrence river as impracticable
and injurious to the barge canal of
New York state was massed by its
opponents at hearing before the
international joint commission. To-
morrow eastern proponents of the
project will place their view of the
commission which was appointed by
The governments of Canada and the
United States to investigate the
feasibility of the plan.
Among the arguments were sew
eral references to the expenditure of
great sums by the United States to
improve waterways in other coun-
tries and several times opponents
pictured the plight of the investment
in case of war between Great Britain
and America. One speaker declared
he could not see why the United
States SHOULD start another Panama
canal in a foreign country"
These remarks brought a reply
from the American chairman of the
international commission, Former
Senator Obediah Gardner of Maine.
Several times today'I have noted
differences, some deliberately errone-
Gus, that this project is an attempt
on the part of Canada to inveigle the
United States into building water
way for Canada" he said. This
project originated in the house Of
representatives of the congress Of
the United States"
Public service Commissioner
Lewis Nelson asserted, 1T would
seem the benefits of this project are
generally assumed" Taking cogni-
zance of the strong support it has in
Is western states, he thought many
cities are dreaming of being ocean
ports" naming Duluth and Chicago
as two of them. He predicted at
least 20 locks would have to be built
on the lakes, and pointed out
the slow time the boats would make
compared with trip to an Atlantic
port Also he continued the argu-
inent of other speakers that the route
would be closed half of each year be-
cause Of ice, fogs and other hazards.

Two Policemen
Shot in Chicago
In Liquor Raid
Steps Taken to Hush Up Ac-
tivities Following Confession
Said to Involve Wash
ington Officials.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Unusual activi-
ty was displayed in all sectors of
the illicit liquor battle front, with
the possible exception of any further
move toward arresting the men in
volved in the Sadler and Pappas con-
fessions. What activity there was
in that line was devoted to hushing
up the confession, which is said to
involve some high officials here and
in Washington.
Two former policemen were shot
early this morning in mysterious
affray which the authorities are con-
vinced was whisky running expe-
dition and probably quarrel over
distribution of the loot. The dis
trict where the shooting occurred is
notorious in the records of illicit
booze deals. -.
"The prohibition law will never be
observed until its violators are sent

want to send them to prison. That
is the only cure"
Major Dalryrnele placed at the
doors of district judge and district
United States attorney responsibility
for three killings in Wisconsin in ef-
fortsto enforce the prohibition laws.
D1rymple says there is wholesale
disregard for the prohibition law
through Wisconsin and the people
generally have been led to believe
that there will be no honest en-
deavor to enforce the laws. He says
if the Judge and prosecutor in ques-
ton had shown any inclination to
enforce the law in cases of violators
between them, the three killings that
followed in battles between revenue
agents and whisky runners would
have been averted.

The figures for 1917 are 276 and 70,
respectively.
The great increase in the number
of deaths during 1913, was due, of

Weight
Malnutrition among the school
children of the county is alarmingly
prevalent, according to the monthly
report of Miss Irene Labrie, county
health nurse. Miss Labrie found 2O7
children from 10 to 81 pounds under
weight, among the 657 whom she eX-
amined during April.
At a meeting of the nursing COM
mittee of the Stevens County Public
Health Association on Monday after
noon, the following report of the
months work was submitted:

Monday, April 5. The nurse ad-
dressed the girl students attending
the Short Course at the Agricultural
School, on general personal hygiene
and cleanliness.
April 6, the monthly committee
meeting was held in the office of the
Stevens County Farm Bureau. The
nurses report and expense account
was read and accepted.
April 21st. The County Child
Welfare Board meeting was attended
by the nurse, several interesting mat
tiers being taken under consideration.
Of the 1000 school children credit
ed to this county, 1929 have been
examined, leaving III to be finished
before the close Of the school year.
Several of the rural schools have
closed the later part Of April and sew
eraI more close early in May but an
endeavor will be made to reach them
all.
One of the outstanding defects
among the children examined is the
surprising amount of malnutrition.
Of the 657 children examined, 2O7
were found to be from 10 to 81
pounds under weight and over half
of this number were found in the
rural schools. This is in a great mea-
sure due to cold lunches at noon,
long fatiguing walks in the cold and
no water in the schools. The matter
of water in the schools is a serious
one. Over half the rural schools Wis
tied have no water, either for drink
ing or washing, except that which
the children carry, or the soft water
the children get from the creeks and
bitches near the schools for washing
purposes. There are few farms in
Stevens County where there is no
water handy for the stock to drink
at any time. 1t does seems that our
children should have a like consid-
Grafton.
