SUBSCRIPTION. $5 PER .YEAR The Importance of It. THE meeting at Crookston in the interest of drainage next week Tuesday and Wednesday will undoubtedly result in the most notable impulse at one time which the cause of drainage has ever received. It is a lamentable fact that the people of Minnesota are still grossly ignorant of the benefits to be derived from drainage. Southern Minnesota is still con- vinced that drainage is simply a northern Minnesota scheme to ? | benefit the land holders of north- ern Minnesota. It has beenim- possible even to the clear headed statemen whom southern Minne- sota has raised up in considerable nnmbers to comprehend that drainage is a state wide benefit. Yet the drainage of the lands of northern Minnesota is of far greater benefit to southern Min- nesota than to the northern third of the state which is to be drain- ed. Let us see how this is. Judge Pendergast of this city is a gentleman who has traveled over nearly all of the northern part of the state on foot, and he is intimately acquainted with this great territory. He haspre- pared a paper upon conditions in northern Minnesota, as %o drain- age, which he will read at the drainage meeting at Crookston next week. From this paper we are permitted to quote in advance’ of its presentation to the conven- tion the following striking pas- sage, right to the pointof this argument: ‘“The state now owns oyer two miilion acres designated as swamp lands (See auditor’s re- port for 1903 04, page 23.) Sec- tions sixteen and thirty six,spec- ial indemnity and other lands be- longing to the state and unsold at the present time, bring the total up to’ nearly. four million acres,or over six thousand square miles, a tract three fourths of the size of the whole state of Mas- sachusetts, nearly all of which lies north of the Northern Pacific railroad. When this land is sold three fourths of the proceeds will go to that part of the state lying south of the Northern Pacific railroad, as the distribution is made in proportion tn the school population. The man livingin Dakota county will have more in- terest in thisimprovement than themanliving in Beltramicounty, and when the legislator from Da- kota county votes for an appro- priation for drainage in Beltrami county heis voting to improve his own land and thatof his neighbors.”” These are striking statements, but they are absolutely. true and the wonder is that the people of southern Minnesota have been so slow to perceive their own inter- est. Governor Johnsonhas proposed that instead of the state appro- priating money for drainage, all drainage ditches shall be dug by the lowners of the property ben- efitted. This looks reasqnable, and it would be reasonable if the state is counted asone of the owners of the property to be be- nefitted, as it actually is.

It is a state matter, not a local affair, and it is able man who will consider it, that the benefitto be derived from drainage, must necessarily be greater to the southern part of the state, which has no lands to be drained, than it is to the land owners of the northern part of the state, for it is really the southern partof Minnesota which owns three of the four million acres of state lands, which can become valuable only by means of drainage.
