After the collapse OF the KIondike

neapolis argonaut was telling Of his
experiences during a year among the
SHOWS of the White Horse and the
frozen diggings of the Yukon-a long

more interested than discreet. asked;
DO you expect 80 go back"
The reply was a look Of astonished
contempt. Then after a pause: I'm
glad enough to be alive and back in

THE DEEP WATER PLAN.

The proposed plan for the estao-
: lishmenl OF Il deep water chahhe'
yru1n pu:uli! 10 the Atlantic ocean,
viii. if carried out. mark the most
important step IN transportation slnce
the entry OF railroads into the s'a'e'
and the hearing IN the plan to DC
held in Grand Forks by an interna'
tipnal commission on April - IS one
in which the entire state should pc
interested.
The project is understood to he
meeting with strong opposition in
some parts of the country, notably
New York city and Buffalo. where II
is feared that the establishment. Of
the proposed rou,e will mean a dl7
version of from its present
channels, and a consequent reduction
of the importance of the cities i'll
question.
That such a diversion will rake
( place is likely: 1t is, in fact; the very
essence of TIE plan that the wheat
and other products of the northwest
which are now carried by boat from
Duluth to- Buffalo and are then tran
tshipped by rail or canal to New York
and other Atlantic ports where they
are again transhipped Ior export Will
be shipped by boat from Duluth TO
their destination wherever it may be.
Nevertheless the selfish desire Of
a few cities in the east to prevent the
slightest impairment of their present
commerce cannot he allowed to stand
in the way of the development of the
entire northwest. Not only will the
saving in freight rates be immense.
but the annual congestion which al
most invariably ties up the railroads
of the country at the time when the
wheat should be moved out Of the
northwest, and the winters supply
OF coal moved in, with its inevitable
financial loss. and suffering, will be
avoided.
There Is only one remedy for this
condition. This is to admit the ocean
igoing fleet, to the producing section
through the Great Lakes, and at the
same time to allow the lake boats to
proceed " their cargoes to the sea
board.
If the cars from the harvest fields
nf North Dakota terminate their
journey with foreign bound grain at
the western lake ports they. will be
retained on the lines which provide
them, their carrying ca paciry will be
enormously increased. the normal
balance Of car supply will he preserv-
ed, and every business in the north
west gill pront.
But il this project which means SO
much to the. people of the northwest
is to be carried through against the
resistance of the large eastern cities
it means that the people OF the north
west must make an organized effort
to impress its Importance. and de-
STABILITY on the government.
For this reason the hearing to be
held here on April p is Of vital in
, Fterest to every citizen of North Dako-
IA, and no effort should be spared to
impress on the commissioners the
idea that the people OF the northwest
rant this waterway. and are resolved
to see that it is carried through.
