Commissioner Says
Waters Are Chief
Asset Of Minnesota

Minneapolis, Minn.-The people Of
Minnesota do not appreciate the fact
that Its waters are the chief asset Of
the state, r. V. Willard, state commits
sioner of drainage and water, told
members of the northwestern division
Of the American Society Of Civil Engi-
neers at their meeting at the Mime
apolis Athletic club.
It has been estimated that upwards
Of 100000 horsepower are going to
waste in the streams Of the state, he
declared, Of which approximately
100. 900 horsepower is susceptible to
development within a radius Of 100
miles Of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
THE value Of Minnesota's waters as
a source Of power Is only gradually
being realized" Mr.. Willard told his
audience. 1T is the white coal on
which the states industrial develop
ment must, In a large measure, de-
pend. -
Legislation. however. the commits
E%sioner. said, is necessary to protect
these resources until such time as the
people are ready to utilize them. To
this end he pointed out all rivers and
streams which are to any extent
navigable, should be declared naviea-
BILE to the extent that no dam, bridge
or other obstruction could be built
across them without the approval OF
the state"

1t is Of course true hat gold is the
only substance on which our govern
ment fixes an absolute and definite

what follows. this seems to imply that
the government thereby puts produc-
ers OF gold at a disadvantage, which
is not the case. Even though Its
price never varies" gold differs
from all others in seeming only. as IS
shown by the statement that in re-
cent years it has taken more ounces
of gold than formerly to provide the
miner with the things he needs" jug,
as it has cost the farmer more bush
els of wheat to supply his necessities
For. as applied t gold. the word

gold is merely measuring It In terms

and mines have been closed TO. be-

of the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage and a decline in Liverpool quota
tons, had a bearish effect IN wheat to-
day during the early dealings here.
Sellers, however. were cautious, being
deferred by advices. of further rains in

pear political conditions tended also TO
check declines. The opening which ar
led from unchanged figures to V lower,
with May 1.15N to 1.16 and July 1.O7h
to LOTS, was followed by a slight rally
and then by another sag.
Corn and oats. although relatively
firm. were influenced by the weakness
of wheat. Western demand for corr
was said to be less urgent. After open-
ing unchanged to u higher. May 69x
