Red Lake Drainage
Project To Be Pushed

The Red Lake Drainage and Con-
servancy District was granted state
appropriation of $4,000 for complet-
ing the surveys of the Red Lake and
Clearwater Rivers. This will enable
the engineers to complete plans and
specifications for these two large out
let projects The legislature amended
the Cliff law materially but objection
able paragraphs were, not adopted due
to the strong opposition against them
by friends sof the. law. On February
p congress passed law providing
federal authority for this project. All
that remains now is the completion OF
the engineering plans, a hearing before
the court and acceptance of the view
ers' report. Many obstacles have been
overcome during the year according to
the board members, one of them being
the failure of the law to provide a
fund, large enough for making the
necessary surveys. The per cent
warrants could not be cashed at banks
excepting in few cases where the
banks cashed these warrants as mat.
ter of cooperation with the board in
order not to delay the work The fact
that the law under which the board
operates was being amended by the
Legislature also complicated the situa,
ton. Remarkable progress has been
made nevertheless according to per:
sons who are in d position 10 know tie
facts. The burden st paying for the
survey will not be assessed against the
district. This in itself is a consider
able. item. The principal gain how.

TWO GAMES FEATURE
BASEBALL ACTIVITIES
Argyle Comes Here For Initial Game
Of Season Next Tuesday
Afternoon.


week have proven c0nclusively that the
Warren baseball team will have to perk
up considerably If it wishes an even
grab for the loItg end OF the score FRI
day, May 49,, when it clashes I'm
the initial contest Of the year with
the Argyle aggregation. Last Friday
q tentative lineup of local players
clashed with team of HAS beehs'',
gathered together by Clarence Schultz,
and were donated a II to score By
the oldtimers But for few costly
errors the pr0spectives would have
been held to much lower count.
Yesterday afternoon the East and
West sides FLASHED In a nine inning
battle that resulted in a 8 to Il win for
the East side. The winning team was
made up largely Of regulars from the
Warren team with Mike German on the
mound. Carl Hayes hurled for the
West side team and held the East
siders to a few scattered bingles. Both
teams played loosely and the game
was slow throughout. Both pitchers
took it easy finding little difficulty in
Tightening up when necessary. The
Juvenile band was out with some good
5ternnon' Is ertainment. 81,
week from next Friday the Warren
team will open the season with Argyle
at the Warren ball park starting at
$3.50. It is expected that Argyle will
present a formidable lineup for the
first game and there is considerable
speculation as to- the outcome. The
Warren team is still very green and
playing in an amateurish way but
with a week to practice it is expected
that many of the rough edges will be
Worn off and that Friday afternoon
"a ifairly strong lineup will be in the
field. Mike German is scheduled to
hurl for the locals. a catcher from
Minneapolis is#expected the latter part
of this week who will take care Of the
work behind the bat. He played with
the Aberdeen, 8. d., club last season
and in the Northern league the sum:
mer of 1916 and is expected to holster
up the Warren team eonside = An
effort will be made to place the local
fplayers in their most advantageous
positions SO as to present the strongest
lineup to the visiting team. Little has
been heard concerning the strength OF
Argyle but it is conceded that alio weak
organization will be sent down for the
opening contest. 50 81

MEXICO SEEKS 81. s. MARKETS

That Mexico is seeking the United
States and Canada as markets for her
agricult ural products is evidenced in a
letter received this week by a. B. Mel
son, secretary of the Warren CONNER
cial club, asking market quotations of
this county for fruit and vegetables.
The letter is from the Director of sAgri-
culture, San Jacinto, %. r., Mexico.
The department is seeking any infor-
nation that might be distributed to
Mexican papers for the benefit Of the
farmers Of that country. 1t is the de-
sire Of the Mexican department to in
troduce its fruit and vegetable products
to the United States and Canada, they
being considered the best markets for
|its exports.

Girl Scouts Will

talk III when he Drought out mhHt III
teresting points concerning community
work. One of the greatest problems
facing America today is the inability
of people to become better acquainted
with each other, according to the
speaker. Community work, he claimed,
would be a big boon to this and also
encourage people to give one another a
lift along the way.
Collective Responsibility
Another one Of the great troubles
with the average community, accord
ing to Mr.. Karr, is the failure of the
people of the community to assume a
collective responsibility. Communities
go at various projects as individuals
rather than as communities as wholes.s
The result is often far from what might
be accomplished through a united eff
fort on the part of all people concerned.
America is mixing pot rather than
a melting pot, was the opinion of the
community man, who urged American
izatiOn and assimilation of the foreign
population He stated that the late
war brought out depl0rable facts of
illiteracy in this county, draft records
showing that five per cent of the draft.
ed men could neither read nor write.
Democracy depends upon the intelli-s
gence of the people, according to Mr.
Knrr, and every effort should be direct.
ed toward improving that telligence.
Mail order houses were scored by the
visiting speaker who claimed that many
small towns and communities were be-
ing slowly depOpulated by these In
stitutiOns.S He said that such houses
were sapping the life blood out of small
towns and stated that many towns have:
lost one-tenth Of their popula ton as an
indirect result Of this business.
Mr.. Karr gave a very interesting talk
on the "Analyzat ton of Man" at the
North Star College on Tuesday morn
& ing. In the afternoon he spoke again:
at the high school auditorium to the
citizens and high school students on
community problems. In the evening
he spoke to large audience at the.
same place and gave as the subject of
his talk, "I'he Boy With The Winged
Feet symbol Of opportunity In his
talk he disagreed with many of the
leading poets and literary. lights in
their works concerning opportunity.

Washington Holds
Key to Financial
Relief for Mexico
Recognition by Present Ad-
ministra,ion Must Precede
Loan Here, Says American
Group of World Bankers

Until the United States government
has formally recognized the Oregon
regime Mt Mexico City, the Mexican.
government can expect no financial
aid for facilitating the resumption of
normal trade relations with this coun-
try from American banking houses
represented on the International Com
mittee of Bankers on Mexico This
was made clear in responsible banking
quarters yesterday, where it was said
that so far as the American group in
the international committee is con-
cerned, it will be guided by the wishes
of the Washington Administration,
which is understood to have intimated
that nothing should be done pending
the outcome of current diplomatic
negotiations
This formulation of the stand of the
American banking group with regard
to Mexico was set forth yesterday in
connection with the reports from
Mexico City that the Mexican govern
ment is preparing to resume the pay
ment of interest on its external debt,
long in default. Banking firms here,
which would be likely to have received
information from Mexico City if such
step is near, were without advices
on the matter, and representative
bankers were disposed to view the
Mexico City reports as propaganda
aimed at making the way to recogni-
ton by the United States government
easier Of accomplishment.
Some business from Mexico has
been offered hare," said prominent
banker yesterday, "but so far as mem
bers of the international bankers COM
mittee are aware it has been turned
down pending developments at Wash
ness will be done with Mexico on a
credit basis until an international
agreement has been drawn up and
signed by the Mexican government
guaranteeing safety to the lives of
Americans in Mexico, the protection of
obligations Of the Mexican government
held outside the country, and fair
dealings in business relations with
other countries"

Sees Beneficial Effect
OF Influx Of Gold Here

America seems helpless to stop the
present rapid flow Of gold co its shores
from all parts of the world. Vet, de-
spite the modern view Of many econ
onnists that it is bad to receive too
much Of the yellow metal, the move
ment is by no means wholly unfavor-'
able. George E. Roberts, vice-pre 81
dent Of the National City Bank and
former Director of the Mint, and an
authority on the economics Of gold, in
an interview with The Tribune yester-
day stressed the beneficial effects OF
the influx.
1.-THE incoming gold" said Mr..
Roberts. makes trade possible, and it
also helps exchange rates on coun-
tries whence it comes. OF course, it
would be better for the American peo-
pie to take securities instead Of gold,
but gold is better than nothing
"The difficulty lies In the fact that
we are now getting more than our
legitimate shars Of the worlds gold.
We know that eventually, as world
