of the sanitary district have known the need for
long time and that therefore they cannot now
complain if an Immediately heavy burden is
placed upon the district because of their attitude
and course"
The decision of the court, which was written
by Chief Justice Taft, sustains the claim of the
states that the diversion has lowered the level
OF Lake Michigan six inches, to the detriment
OF navigation, and that the complainant states
have the right to restoration of the lake to nor
NAL levels. Authority of the war department to
authorize diversion for navigation is also sus-
tanned, but use of water for sewerage disposal
purposes is declared illegal.
In their suit against Chicago the complain
ant states raised objection to the diversion
of sufficient water for navigation The decision
on this point is therefore not in conflict with
the position taken by the states There is no
desire, intention, on the part of the states
to oppose diversion of ample water for naviga-
ton in the Illinois river, for according to COM
petent engineers, navigation requires only about
one-tenth of the water Chicago has been alb
stracting for several years.
In its relation to the st. Lawrence seawav.
the decision is of tremendous Importance. Can
ada, bordering on the Great Lakes, no less than
IHe coiHpldlHanC states, mas suffered with these
states through the lowering of lake levels. Had
the highest court in the United States sustained
Chicago's illegal action, Canadas grievance would
rightly have been transferred from Chicago to
the government of the United States.
So seriously did Canada view the Chicago
situation that in her preliminary negotiations
looking to treaty on the st. Lawrence project
Chicago diversion was set up as one of the chief
questions for settlement The action of the SUI
preme court very largely eliminates this prob
lem, for it is well understood that Canada, like
the complainant states, will not oppose reason
able diversion for navigation purposes on the
Illinois river. The friendly accord between the
two nations is therefore strengthened by the
decision.
The fight is not, of course, entirely settled.
Chicago will Immediately press for action by
congress to permit vastly more diversion than
necessary for navigation, because Chicago is now
operating hydro-electric plant by reason of the
present volume of water distracted, which de-
velopment is bringing the sanitary district sew
eral million dollars annually This move will
be opposed by the complainant states and the
battle is than half won under the present
decision for when the court holds illegal abstrac-
ton for sanitary purposes it may we'll be taken
for granted that abstraction for commercial pur-
poses will be looked upon with even less favor

for the battle, with the exception of
very deep drifts, it is usually only a
matter Of a few hours until the roads
are opened. Even then shifting winds
quickly block the roads.
For this reason motorists are urged
to be prepared for emergencies. The
bulletin urges them to carry shovel,
chains, and extra clothing. Night
driving should be avoided unless there
is definite information that the roads
are open and the travellers are pre-
pared for emergencies. Motorists
who are snowblocked at night may
find it much more difficult to get
help or shelter at night than in the
daytime.
The Highway department will con-

reported open when a traveller starts
a long trip, storms may come up
quickly and block the road before he
reaches his destination All those
conditions should be considered in

CONsERVAT|ON|ST
GOING OFF CENTER

Prohibition of mining within the
area covered by the hipStead-Newton
bill now before congress is urged by
Mrs. James Thurston of MINNEAPOLIS,
chairman Of the conservation COM
mittee of the Minnesota Federation of
Women's Clubs.
In a statement on the border dam
situation prepared for the Waltonian,
official publication of the Izaak Wal
ton League of America, Mrs. Thurs
ton declares that the forces behind the
Shipstead-Newton bill, which would
preserve the entire border region in its
natural state, have failed to protect
the lake country from mining oper-
ationS
Logically, we should go one step
further and prohibit mining in that
same restricted area" writes Mrs.
Thurston. Neither open pit nor un-
slightly shaft head should ever be per-
mitted within sight of those lovely
shores. We are trying to prohibit by
law one form of exploitation in that
region. Is the other any more per-
missable? If not, say so before it is
too late and in no uncertain terms"
Mrs Thurston points out three fac
tors that have been stressed to date
relative to the border conservation pro-
poSalS. These include the lack of a
suitable contact with Canadian in
tereStS, the prevention Of mining and
the retention of mineral rights in lands
to be transferred by the state to the
Federal government in the Superior
national forest. She explains that the
Shipstead- Newton bill provides for the
preservation of two scenic elements,
the retention of water levels and the
barring OF timber operations closer
than 200 feet from the lakashores
1t is in this connection that she would
prevent mining operations in the area
included in the Shipstead- Newton
bill
Mrs. Thurston'S statement outlines
the bill passed by the 1929 legislature,
authorizing the transfer of state for
est lands to the government, and urges
the safeguarding of all mineral rights
in any of these transfers that might be
made in the future. Some of the land
in the forest region IS known to have
rich mineral deposits, being in the vein
of already developed mining sections
she states. Returns from the state
owned lands go to the state educat-
ional fund
Think these things over" she con-
cludes. I'VE want cooperation with
Canada in saving our boundary waters;
we want to save those boundary waters
for all time. from all forms of exploit
alton, and we want to hold what is
already ours for our chiIdren's
children.
The Shipstead- Newton bill affects
an area of about 100000 acres,
bounded by a lire starting south of
Grand Marais and extending west
across Lake, Cook and st. Louis coun-
ties to the west st. Louis county line
thence north to the border, eastward
along the border to Pigeon river and
thence south to the starting point on
the north line of township CO. About

HOOVER TURKEYS
IN WASHINGTON

Two champion turkeys left Duluth
November % by fast sedan for the
presidents Thanksgiving day dinner
The birds were previously accepted by
George Akerson, secretary to Pres
ident Hoover, in letter to George
A. Perham, executive director of the
Minnesota Arrowhead Association,
donor of the fowl. The turkeys ar
rived in Washington Monday after
very successful trip during which the
Arrowhead received much advertising.
The run to Washington took four
days. The distance is 1885 miles.
Overnight stops were made at Mil
waukee, indianapolis. and Wheeling,
West Virginia.
The turkey chosen for the president
by the Minnesota Arrowhead ASSOC
iation was selected as the champion
bird of the Arrowhead country, and
chosen in a contest Wednesday, Nov
20 at West Duluth, from the best birds
raised this year in eight Minnesota
counties.
The Presidents turkey was raised
on the farm of Mrs. August Neubauer,
wife of the County Agent of St.
Louis county, Minnesota, at Lost Lake,
near Gilbert, Minnesota The name
of the farm, which specializes in
raising flowers, seeds and bulbs for the
market, as well as fine turkeys, is
Lake Shore Manor.
The turkey, slightly less than six
months old, weighs 20 pounds, and
was raised under the confinement plan
invented and perfected at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota College of Agri-
culture
1t was originally intended to send
the turkey to President Hoover by
airplane from Duluth, but when it
was decided to send with the pres
idential bird a champion bird pre-
sented to Mrs Hoover by the boys
and girls, Fourth Club of St. Louis
county, the airplane idea had to be
abandoned for lack of Grating space.
A factor in the change of plans was
the advent of a severe cold wave over
the entire country at the start of the
trip, causing fear for a turkeys safety
if high attitudes produced correspond
ingiy low temperatures.
The trip to Washington was made
by Roy D. Drake, West Duluth, in
Viking sedan, the back of which con-
tanned a large crate for the comfort
of the turkeys. With MIR. Drake rode

Association to all parts Of the country
in which all sections of the Arrowhead
Country were recognized
Mr.. Peterson's address was In the
nature Of eulogy on cooperation and
he cited may occasions to hammer
home his points. He stated very force
fully that a man could not be true TO
his country unless he was true to the
city in which he lived and to the
people of that city, especially the bust
ness people. He is one of the out
standing merchants Of Grand Rapids
with good business developed with
persistent and honest advertising.

BLUE SKY LAW
SEEN AS DANGER

Mineral development in the United
States has established a record for
progress which far SurpasSeS that OF
any other country. And this progress
will continue as long as the govern
ment recognizes the right of all in
dividuals to devote in the pursuits of
their choice, time, talents, initiative
and capital to research, discovery OF
new ideas, mineral deposits, mechan-
ical devices, methods Of cOmmunica-
ton and transportation, and principals
of industrial expansion, the Mining
Congress Journal believes.
The raising of development funds is
one of the difficult problems Of the
mining industry. When any new de-
velopment is undertaken, it Is, in many
instances, a speculative venture. Blue
sky laws can be made so restrictive as
to prevent such speculation; and when
so designed, are destructive to the
mining industry. since its very found
alton and continuation depends upon
new mineral discoveries and the de-
velopment of new mines from mere
prospects
Infant mining projects must have
capital with which to develop their re-
sources and prove their commercial
value. The same was true in the
radio, automotive, and aeronautics in
dustries, and would still be true if
these industries were not self sus-
tanning. The mining industry has to
be renewed and kept alive by new dis
coveries. And usually the owner OF
a likely prospect is not willing to turn
it over for a small consideration to an
established company for development;
hence he turns to the public for nee
essary funds This, he should always
have the right to do.
While tho public should be pro-
tected against the fakir, and against
fraudulent operations of all kinds, the
mine prespeeter and the owner Of
promising prospects should be per-
mitted to seek and secure the capital
of persons willing to join in any leg
itimate mining venture. Such un-
dertakings should not be restricted or
hampered under the blue sky legis-
Iation In the past they have been
the foundation of the mining industry.
In the future they VIII serve to re-
plenish the mineral reserves of the
nation as old mines are worked out
and abandoned.
