20 all the way inland = some 90
miles from the sea-to Vancouver
and Portland. But when the longer
channel is complete ships will have
a 27-foot minimum depth all the
way to the Bonneville dam, where
IL may be met by feeder craft from
far inland via the government
locks.
In our humble opinion, however.
It is yet to be seen II 1t will be
practical to take ocean shipping
even that far inland. particularly
because there aren't any ports an

sites aren't In demand.

MESABI iron
co. TO Meet

The annual meeting of the Mesabi
Iron company, which owns the Babbitt
property, will be held in Wilmington.
Del, Friday, April 10, according to an
announcement by Skillings' Mining
Review. The Reserve Mining company
has a lease on the Babbitt holdings of
the Mesabi interests.
1t is proposed by two of the Mesabi
stockholders, who have called attention
to the service of D. c. Jackling, San
Francisco, president of the company,
and R. B. Hindle, New York, secre-
tary, and their immediate associates in
keeping the company from going into
total bankruptcy that their efforts
should be properly recognized.
They suggest issuing Jackling $4,000
shares of the MeSabi Iron company, and
49,311 shares to various others con-
nected with it.
The MeSabi now has an authorized
capital of $1,5O0,O0O divided into an
equal number of shares of a par value
of 81 each. 1t is also proposed that
the number of directors be changed
from nine to eight.
There has been considerable dis
cusSion of what the Reserve company
plans to do with the Babbitt holdings.
The head of the company, while in
Duluth recently, was quoted as saying
that prospects of opening the plant ap-
peared to be bright.

Transfer of u. S. Forest
Service Again Suggested
Waltonians Vote No, However,
on Harold Ickes' Request
at Chicago Conclave.

Secretary of Interior Harold L. IckeS
reopened his fight to secure the trans
fer of the u. S. forest service from the
agriculture to the interior department
at an address delivered at the 18th
annual convention of the Izaak Walton
League of America.
The forest service should be trans
ferred SO that it could be associated
with other major conservation activi-
ties, IckeS, who spoke before the con-
vention delegates Friday in Chicago,
said, the Duluth News-Tribune reports.
IF the forest service should be trans
ferred," he stated, sit would come to
the interior just as it is, with policies
and personnel intact. The trees would
continue to grows"
He pointed out that the biological
department had been transferred from
the agriculture TO the interior three
years ago and "is now a smoothly
functioning agency of the department
of the interior, where the big bad wolf
was supposed to be lying in wait to
devour it-game, predators, wildlife,
and ALL" according to the News
Tribune.
The convention, after the talk, went
on record as opposing the transfer
Ickes also advocated creating a fed
eral department of conservation to
protect Americas natural resources and
to afford state conservation agencies
closer cooperation with the federal
government.
What the interior department would
do with or to the Superior National
Forest if it gained control of the forest
service has been a matter of consider
able concern to many residents of this
city. Ickes went on record at Chicago
as saying that the forest services
policies and personnel would remain
intact" and that "the trees would con-
tinue to grow" according to the Duluth
papers report, but didn't say if he in
tended to curb or not to curb the use
of the national forests.
Changing of the status quo of the
Superior National Forest is the bone
of contention here, and there has
been some discussion as to whether
such fears were well founded or ground
less.
! President Roosevelt had included the
transfer in proposed reorganization
bill, but had dropped it at the request
of numerous conservation leaders
Ickes' address again brings the change
to the front.

COUNTY GIVEN
HIGHWAY FUNDS
Receives $213,0OO From State
for St. Louis County Road
Improvement Work.

ST Louis county has been allotted
s213 900 in state funds for local high
way improvement work OF TINS
amount s174OOO came from the accent
gasoline tax and $4,000 from l-mlil
levy.
Lake county received $59,75O, s46,75o
from the gas tax and $4,000 from the
levy. and Cook was given S56,OO0, S43,ooo
from the gas tax and $4,000 from the
levy.
To Minnesota's 81 counties went
SIS 800 900 in gas tax money and 81 800
600 in 1-mill tax revenues, or a total
of s7,1OOOOO for local road improve
ment.
This is 100000 less than the total
for 1889. One-mill tax allotments were
100000 higher than last year, but gas
tax allotmentS were an even 100000
lower, or so less, due to the fact that
the four cent gas tax rate Will drop
to three cents on September l.
Although the reduction in gas tax
allotments heraldS the end of the
comparatively large state highway
revenues made available to the counties
in recent years, the immediate severity
of the reduction was softened both by
the availability of reserves from last
years collections and by the fact that
the state oil inspection division effected
a net saving of nearly 100000 in tax
revenues by approving 1902 fewer ex-
emption claims.
The proportionate share allotted vari-
Gus counties was altered slightly this
year by the necessity for making special
funds, in extraordinary amounts, avail
able to several counties in the vicinity
of Camp Ripley for work on roads
essential to a greatly expanded military
training program planned this sum-
mer. Several other special allotments
were made to meet emergency road con-
ditions requiring correction.
Since 100000 already had been set
aside by legislative action to pay for
the cost to the secretary of states Of
flee of this years motor vehicle regis
trations and license inspection, the
allotment boards action brought to a
total of more than $11,830,OOO the
amount of this years state highway tax
revenues which already have been al
located and earmarked for purposes
which in actuality produce no current
benefit or improvement to the states
II 400 mile trunk highway system.
The board, comprising State Treas
urer Julius Schmahl, State Auditor
Stafford King, and Highway Commits
sioner M. j. Hoffman, first set aside
