Otfieial Paper Village of Bemidii| A Word Among Ourselves. The Pioneer again calls atten- tion to the agricultural bulletins issued by the Northeast Experi- mental station at Grand Rapids and published each week in these columns. These bulletins are full of profitable suggestion to the farmers of this part of the state and it should ever be kept in mind that farming in Beltrami, Itasca, and Cass counties is gov- erned by far different laws than is farming elsewhere in the state No portion of the state is more rich in promise of agriculture than are the counties named, but the farming that must be done here isof a different sort and different methods must be used, a different procedure must be followed and in just the propor- tion that the farmers of these counties attend to the results .|that are being secured at the Grand Rapids station will be the agricultural development of this part of the state. Rep. Cole’s Drainage Bill. Representatiye Cole’s Drain- age bill is an important one inas- much as it provides for inaugu- rating a comprehensive system of drainage for all the swamp lands in the state numbering some two million acres. The text of the bill is as follows: To provide for a comprehensive system of drainage of all the swamp and marshy lands of the state; to create a commis- sion and to appropriate money to carry out the provisions of this act. Whereas, by acts of Congress of February, 28th, 1850, and March 12, 1860, there was grant ed to the state of Minnesota by the United States of America up- ward of five million . (5,800,000) acres of swamp lands situated in different counties of the state, of which more than 2,000,000 acres remain unsold and undisposed of, which lands in their present con- dition are worthless for agricul- ture purposes, but which if prop- erly drained will be worth many millions of dollars and the public health and convenience improved thereby. Whereas, by the acts of Con- gress granting said lands it was provided that the proceeds of said lands, whether from sale or by direct appropriation in kind, shall be applied exclusively as far as necessary to the purpose of reclaiming said lands by means of levees and drains; and there- fore,— Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Minnesota: Section 1. That a commission consisting of the governor, the state auditor, and the secretary of the state, be and the same is thereby created, to be known as the Drainage Commission of the state of Minnesota. The gover- nor shall be chairman of said commission, and preside at all its meetings, and the majority of the members of said commission shall have authority to act in all matters and perform all duties required to be performed by said commission. Section 2. It shall be the duty of said commission, as soon as is | practicable after the passage and approval of this act to ascertain the number of acres of low, wet lands belonging to the state that it is necessary to drain in order to make them fit for agricultural purposes, and where the same is located, and ~what ditches and drains it will be necessary to constrct to drain the said land. In the execution of the provis- ions of this act, the said commis- sion shall have full power, and it is hereby authorized and direct- ed to cause to be made a complete and accurate survey of the loca- tion, swe, route, beginning and system of dmhes or PIONEER PUBLISHING CO.

And to accomplish said pur- pose, said commission is author- ized and directed to employ with- in a reasonable time after the ap- proval of this act, one or more competent, civil, hydraulic, or topographical engineers and such other agents and assistants as it may find necessary and proper to comply with the provisions of this act, and to fix the salary or employes. Such engineer, or engineers, shall upon appointment, at once proceed under the direction of said commission, te make the necessary surveys and take the necessarry levels of all low, wet or swamp lands owned by the state, and shall, as soon as prac- ticable lay out a complete plan of a system of drains or ditches which shall in the most feasible and practicable way when com- pleted, drain such lands and fit them for the purpose to which they are by nature adaptable. Section 3. Such engineers, shall «eep an accurate and com- plete set of field notes and shall make a complete map and report of the said system of drains de- termined and found to be the most feasible, practicable and best calculated to accomplish the desired end, which map shall show the location, length, width and depth, the beginning, course and termination of each proposed drain or ditch in the system, and which report shall show the legal description of each tract of land according to government subdi- visions, necessary to be taken or interfered with in order to con- struct said system of drainage, and shall show the estimated cost of construction of each drain, and of the entire system so laid out by them, according to their best judgment. Section 4. Upon the comple- tion of his work said engineer, or engineers shall place in the hands of said commission not later than November 1, 1906, all his field notes, maps and reports which shall become the exclusive ' prop- erty of the state of Minnesota. Said -commission shall at once cause said maps, field notes and reports to be filed in the office of the state auditor, and shall make a complete report of the doings of the commission under this act, with an itemized account of its expenditures, and containing a statement of the ownership, whether by the state or by pri- vate owners, of all the lands which will require to be taken or interfered with, according to the report of the engineers, in order to establish said system of drains which report shall em- body the maps and report of the engineer or sufficient thereof to enable the Legislature to obtain an intelligent idea of the subject, together with such suggestions and recommendations as the commission may think proper. A sufficient number of copies of the report of said commission shall be printed and supplied to the members of the Legislature ‘which will convene in the year 1907, and the various officers and boards of the state. i Sectlon 5.
