KEEP RIVER
ON MANAGEABLE
BASIS, HE SAYS
Congressman Burtness Be
ieves Much Can Be
Gained Thereby.

In view Of the periodic agitation to
have the Red river declared nom
navigable by the war department, the
attitude OF Congressman o. B. Burt
ness of this city on the question is Of
unusua! interest. Mr.. Burtness, who,
by the way, will arrive here Sunday,
is Of the opinion that nothing can be
gained by declaring the river non
navigable.
Congressman Burtness points out
that much might be gained In the fu-
ture for the northwest by leaving the
river in its present status. In this
connection he held that territory
along the Red river might In the flu
IRE under the rivers and harbors act
OF August s, 1917, easily secured fed
eral aid in the prevention and the
control Of floods If the Red river re-
mains on a navigable status. The
congressman considered this phase of
the question of utmost importance to
North Dakota. In a letter to the
Fargo Commercial club, regarding the
matter, Mr.. Burtness said:
"My position simply is that If moth
ing substantial and of real value is
to be gained by declaring the river
non-navigable we should not throw
away the chance of getting a very
substantial appropriation some time
in the future for a real flood control
project that would be Of immense
value to the state"
