Largest Body of Water. The fact that Red lake is the larg- est body of fresh water in North America outside of the Great Lakes, is one of the advantageous points that will be brought to the attention of congress. Then again there are some exceedingly fine beaches along the shore at places readily accessible and the stand of virgin pine on the point at the narrows is one of the few such growths remaining untouched by hu- man hand. Clearwater to Aid. i The distance from the Jefferson highway to the agency is about 27 miles, and all but sixes miles of this distance is within the Red Lake In- dian reservation.

This step was advocated at a meet-| ing of representatives of commerecial clubs held in Red Lake Falls Monday afternoon, at which seyeral commer- cial clubs along the highway wers; represented. The resolution as’ out- lined above will be presented to Con- gressman Steenerson, who will no doubt give the same his careful at- tention at the proper time.
