been pointed out number of
times in the past ten years, that
the Red Lake river which is the
outlet of the lake has not large
enough or deep enough channel to
take care of the increased tlowage
at high water periods. For thirty
five miles the river winds and
curves in and out preventing the
water from having a straight flow,
lands are flooded on both sides of
thuriser and great damage done.
The lowering of the lake and the
placing of controlling dams at the
outlet of the lake will, it is con-
tended, regulate this flow and keep
the lake at a safe level. The engi-
neers of the war department have
set a maximum and minimum level
at which it is proposed to hold the
lake. Settlers around the lake
maintain that the maximum level
set by the engineers will still cause
many lands to be flooded. They,
therefore, have petitioned that the
level be lowered three feet making
the maximum level III feet and
the minimum 1853 feet, this lower
ing to be accomplished by the
dredging and deepening of the
channel of the Red Lake river to
High Landing.
On the Indian reservation this
drainage would affect about fifteen
townships and on lands off the
reservation about twenty town.
ships. These townships, which are
now affected at each period of high
water, would. have their land com.
pletely drained oy the bitches and
rivers now emptying into Red
Lake, but which, on account of
the small amount of fall do not
perform that function when the
high water period comes under the
present level of the lake.
Many settlers, over four hund-
