Aberdeen session of the northwest shippers’ regional advisory board meeting last April, A. O. Marceaux, publisher of the Rock County Herald, | Luverne, Minn., today delivered to, the board a talk on the same project, in which he indicated that the oppo- sition to the waterway was giving way | and that, the undertaking soon may become a reality. 7 The paper at the Aberdeen meeting was considered unfriendly to the waterway, in the opinion of Mr. Mo- reaux. It was, in his opinion, rather the view of the railroads. So today he tried to picture the undertaking in @ more favorable light, moreover as a certainty. He explained how sec- tions of the waterway already have been built, as the new Welland canal, and that completion will require little beyond the construction of the stretch left to the United States to construct. Canada is coming around favorably to action by this country, and the power interests are yielding ground, too, in their opposition, he said. Farmers’ Saving Will Pay It ‘The waterway will be a big benefit to the farmers, Mr. Moreaux held, as it will permit cheaper movement of grain to the European market. He quoted President Hoover as saying the saving in transportation to the farmer in a single year will pay for the ex- pense of construction of the water- way to the United States. Mr. Moreaux challenged the figures of cost put forth by H. G. Moulton of the Brookings institute, Washington, and E. E. Loomis, president of the Le- high Valley railroad. The estimate of these men is $700,000,000 cost to the United States alone. In contrast, Mo- reaux offered the estimates of the en- tire cost, as made by the international | body of engineers, that the total ex- | penditure required of both the United States and Canada will be between $123,000,000 and $148,000,000. Moulton estimated 11,000,000 tons of traffic 11 years hence, and main- tenance cost of $4 per ton. The en- gineers estimate 25,000,000 tons of traffic in sight and maintenance costs of 43 cents per ton, Moreaux said. Correcting Carterct’s Orevsight Mr. Moreaux told the story of Jacques Carteret sailing up the St. Lawrence in 1535 and being led to lay the foundations of Montreal, second largest port in North America, as the «result of thinking he had come to the head of nevigation with the rocky Lachine harriers in the stream there. -Had it not been for that mistake Carteret riight have gone as far as “the end of the lakes, and Duluth gAvould have become the port of the Juture the great chain of inland “Awaterwa: The wealth was in the $ection Carteret failed to traverse. ‘he destiny of the Atlantic coast “qright have been changed had he dis- ‘eovered some of this wealth, as the Yast iron deposits of the Mesaba “gange. This would be the great in- dustrial section of the country now, he said. What Carteret missed is now “the task of the midwest, said Mr. Mo- eaux. It is to open the St. Lawrence to the navigation of ocean-going “oats, thus to give this great inland <empire the opportunity to grow and Prosper. “, “Have we the foresight and the wis- | | ° THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JULY 238, 1929 TONARKET SEEN RESULT OF DROUTH R.

BUSINESS MEN LOOK AT CROP PROSPECTS Minneapolis, July 23.—(#)— Plan- | ning a three-day inspection tour of the northwest grain fields, 17 Minne- | apolis bankers, grain men, and rail- road officials left last night on a Soo! Line train for North Dakota andj} Montana, The crop inspection tour is spon- sored each year by the Soo Line in order to give business men an accur- | ate picture of the condition of the’ grain in the northwest. | Passing through the southern tier of North Dakota counties, their route is scheduled to northeastern Montana and back across the northern North Dakcta counties to Thief. River Fails, Minn., and down through Minnesota to Minneapolis. The group will re- turn Friday night. | Troyer Purchases | Dickinson Building (Tribune Special Service) Dickinson, N. D., July 23—One of | the major realty transfers taking | place here in recent months is the | sale of the Kihm building on Villard street to J. V. Troyer. George Nolan, on behalf of the Nolan estate, ar- ranged the sale. The two-story brick building houses the Troyer Recreation rooms, oper- ated by the new owner, on the first floor and a hotel on the second floor. The consideration is not stated al- coe the transaction was a cash eal. H. A. ROBERTS RESIGNS H. A. Roberts, manager of the local branch of the Russell-Miller Milling company here for the last eight years, yesterday tendered his resignation to the company. He will go into business in Minneapolis. substantial reduction from last year's crop. | Continued drouth in large areas will have the effect of still further re- ducing production, Gunkelman said. Late potatocs have not yet begun to set in the Red River valley, however, and if good rains come soon they may help the crdp. The reduction in potato acreage in both North Dakota and Minnesota is outside the Red River valley which | shows a slight increase in the acre- age planted. The stand is thin, how- ever, and continued drouth would mean a very light crop. The big factor in the shipment of potatoes, Gunkelman said, is the price. He predicted that increased prices, because of lower production would give the railroads as big a po- tato tonnage from the northwest as they received last year when prices were so low that it was unprofitable to dig and ship the tubers. Although he has no recent data from South Dakota, Gunkelman said, the state is not a large potato pro- ducer and its acreage varies very little. He predicted an carlier movement of Minnesota potatoes than was ex- perienced last year. Organization of a growers and ship- pers association in the Red River val- ley, now under way, will result in an organization which will be in better position to gather information on the prospective potato yield each year than has any group in the past, Gunkelman said. 7 Burleigh Students Take Winchester Exam Seven Burleigh county eighth grade graduates, two from Bismarck, yester- day afternoon at the Will school wrote , special arithmetic examination in competition for the annual $25 prize awarded by relatives in memory of Judge W.
