TO DO MUCH WORK THIS YEAR — Plan to Redeem 2,000,000 Acres Will Be Presented to Congress Next Month. St. Paul Pioneer Press: R. A. Elzy of Marshalltown, who is taking out half a million cubic yards of earth for the State of Minnesota in Koochiching county, says that con- tractors in the swamps of the North generally have put in a very good year. R. A. Elzy & Son are building two ditches in Koochiching county which they will, complete in contract time, the first of the year. Both ditches drain into the Rainy river basin and are located near Inter- national Falls. One of the machines is digging down the ditch and on the other ditch the machine is dig- ging up from the Rainy river. The ditches are very long and deep and will drain many thousands of acres of tillable land in that -neighbor-| hood. The machines employed on the work are - “floaters” or vertical dredges. Their progress has been threatened somewhat on account of the lack of water during the dry months of the year. FEven at this time, however, water is very scarce and some difficulty is experienced in getting enough to float these huge machines. The work on these ditches is performed in the midst of the greatest inland swamps on the con- tinent, from which they will drain the surplus water so that the land may be cultivated. The soil is all very fertile, with a good bottom, and will make one of the richest agricultural sections of the state. Some fifty miles to the west is the scene of the government operations under Engineer Meade of the inter- ior department, who is at present in Washington. Contracts for this work are expected to be awarded soon., Being government work, it will command great competition in bidding. If let all at once, which is not probable, it would be the largest contract of its kind let on the continent for some time. . Engineer Meade passed through St. Paul on his way to Washington yesterdav morning and while there will prepare maps of tke Red river region. Mr. Meade for two years has been in charge of this big sur- vey,Bwhich revolves in a vast circle in the very center of the most fertile regions of Northern Minnesota with the Red lakes as a pivotal point. The work begun at Thief River Falls is being gradually extended from there east and north around the upper shores of Upper Red lake. The last finishing touches have just been made in the completion of a survey along the headwaters of the Rapid river near Baudette. As the major portion of this terri- tory is virtually high and dry and as the engineer’s problem consist mainly Meade is convinced that all the wet lands included within the limits of the survey can be quickly and easily drained. It is very probable that Mr. Meade will be returned to take charge of the continuation of the work, including the overseeing of the actual drainage operations. In that event he will make his head- quarters at Thief River Falls. The work will be prosecuted in direct co-operation with the state and its drainage engineer, George A. Ralph, who already has three- year-old projects of immense size on | the Roseau and the upper parts of | the Red river valley proper. The maps that Mr. Meade will prepare will be submitted to con- gress, which meets in December, and little doubt is entertained that the projects contemplated will be ordered constructed the coming year. By-the ultimate completion of this} project about 2,000,000 acres will be reclaimed. Who Likes Lemon Pie? . Everybody, but they are expensive an hand somake 1n the old way.
