The chief of engineers said that he Was not prepared to give the names of the inyestigating board of officers, but that he had decided that neither | Major Derby, in charge of the river improvements at St. Paul nor Major Potter of Duinth would be members of the board. The officers who are named will be entirely from local influence. Gen. Mackenzie stated it was his desire to seta complete reports of the reser- voir projees. from his inception to the present time. He saic that his nail is indulged by letters from commercial organizations, farmers and others regarding the floods. ‘There has also both Senators Nelson and Clapp, Govenor Johnson and a bersonal memoral memorial is on file from Congressman J, Adam Bede. 1h some of these communications Major Derby is scored but no com- pro or con is made at the chief engin- eer’s office.

Nothing big. broad, marvelous or unique escapes the pessimists. Ib is a thought that comes with the anvil chorus that is just now endeav- oring to discredit the Pamama canal. Obstacles are encountered in the enormous enterprise. aud instantly a thousand “knockers” confidently de- clare tbat it never will be built. We are told that the transcontinent- al railways are more powerful than the government. No constructing engineers can be appointed who will not be bought off. we are informed’ These ‘‘knockers’ are foolish, as most ‘knockers’? are. There is no power on the western hemisphere equal to that of the gov- ernment at Washington, which has pledged itself to the building of that cannal. In spite of obstacles and difficulties and in spite of knockers’, and the foolish doubts they create, the canal will be built. There are not enough optimists in this land. We worry too much and predict failure often when we should be helping make success. That isa good thing to‘remembher. Some day, when the ships of all nations are passing through the Panama canal and the ‘greatest ever attempted by men has reached it period of usefulness. the “knockers” if they are honest and§consistent, are going Lo feel ashamed. So again—the canal will be built.— St. Paul News. CONVERTED * DEADBEATS Merchants in England and Wales are happy over the fact that the great religious revival is causing people to pay their debts. Here is a substantial good result of religous,enthusiam which even the hardest - headed waterialist must acknowledge. Missionary work in heathen lands makes good customers for the prod- ucts of civilization. recognized that, in a broad way, the dollar in the missionary box is the best investment the business man can make. ‘Aud now the English and Welsh merchants are learning that money given in support of reVivalists comes back multiplied many -times. ‘The mystery of some _ peuple’s financial irrepponsibility has never been fathomed. They may be the soul of conscience in every re- | Spect but this. Perhaps they never geta dollar’s worth of any commodi- aworld of “knockers,” isn't It has long been ! | ty without a firm intention vw pay tor it. But somehow they never do pay for it, and all the while the thought of not paying for it 1s harassing and even shocking to them. There is needed! an authoritative paychological itudy of the res pect— able, well-meaning -‘deadbeats.” Strange to say a bishop of the English church objects to the revival which began in Wales and is spread- ingin Englana. on the ground that it is causing people to pay their debts. The bishop of Carlisle, ina recent address, expressed his scorn of this Sort of conversion and intimated that the man whose moral sense had not already made him honest was a doubtful acquistion, under an emo- tional impulse, to any religous or- ganization. A man, he said, should be honest up and down and through and through. A “Teligion of emo- tion and croodile tears” might cause the man who was not thus honest to pay his debts,but it would hardly transform him into a gerson of real conscience. In spite of the adverse opinion of the bishop of Carlisie, the common- ly-accepted view. among level-headed business men must he that the con- version which causes ‘“deadbeats’ to pay their debts is a first-rate kind of conversion. The convert who takes time from his praying to hnnt up and square his accounts may not stand the highest with the bishop, but he makes a hit with all the rest. —St. Paul News. New Towns in North Dakota. The extensive railroad building now being done in North Dakota has brought tributary to railroad facil- ities an additional vast area of the rich agricultural sections of northern and western North Dakota. The Great Nerthern Railway is building a number of new extensions from its main line northward notably that of the Searles extension of the Edmore line The Thorne extension runuing north from York, the Maxbass ex- tension running northwestward from Towner, and a further extension of the Westhope line to Antler, has brought into being a number of new towns which are fully described in a pamphlet recently issued by the Great Northern Railway. By applica- tion toMr #£. 1, Whitney, Passenger Traffic Manager, St. Paul, Minn., a copy of these pamphlets “New Ex- tensions in North Dakota” or ‘New Towns in North Dakota” will be mailed to any address.

DRAINAGE LEAGUE Secretary Hayes of the Minnesota Drainage league has issued notice that the league will hold its first annual meeting at the city hall, Crookston, begining. on Aug. 1, and thatan invitation is extended to all who are interested in the matter of drainage, to be presented. The league is organized for the purpose of advancing the interests of the whole state and the county com- missioners of each county have asked to send delegates to the meeting. Secretary Hays says: “We desire the co-operation of boards of érade and commercial clubs, but a directory of these organiza- tions is not obtainable and we are therefore compelled to ask your as- sistance in placing this matter be- fore the public and of requesting you to act for us in tendering a most cordial invitation to such bodies in the name of the league.” RAILROADS ' AND EMPLOYES The dispatches the otber day told of a large demonstration of railroad employes in Illinois against a pro- posed reduction of railroad frieght rates by the railroad and warehouse commission of that state. To the number of 600, headed by prominent. officers of the various orders of rail- road employes, they appear and pro- tested against the decrease on the ground that it would injoriously affect the employes, Again, there have been numerous instances during the agitation for federal control os railroad rates tate- ly where railroad employes have come out against the control, and have alleged that reductions of rates would benefit only shippers and job- ers, without helping: retailers and consummers, and would directly in- jure the railroad employes. ‘These opinions are given honestly, no doubt, and they are entitled to honest and candid replies. It 1s natural that the railroad employers, should take interest in the business of their employers, and rally to their aidif that business is unjustly as- sailed. Itis natural, too, that the railroad officers should seek to im- press their men with the belief that reductions in rates would affect the employes adversely, before it affected dividends or the pay of higher officials. Under these circumstances it is not surprising to flud many rail- roads employes taking this side of the question. But the Herald believes that they are mistaken. It does uot believe in the first place that federal control Means any unjust reductions of rates. Ifit did such reduvtions could ‘be successfully resisted in the courte, and the same is true of the preprsed reduction in Mlinvis. It would-be made in, Minnesota, or in any state. In the second place, any needed re- duction would uot affect the emloyes. materially because while the rail- roads are asa rule genorous empluy- ers, they dv not pay any more than is right and just, nur as a rule do ~ they pay-any imore than they are “The building “or these “new lines} Gompelled to pay. The Illinois railroad men said that they would be affected not so much by reduction of wages as reduction of hours, reduction of number and speed of trains, and consequent reduction in the number of employes. Sucha result is inconceivable, If the Illinois rates are too high, a fair re= duction should increase the tonnage carried by the roads rather thaw dinymish it, and an increase 1n busi- ness would necessarily mean more trains, more crews and more wark for everybody. If the reduction is fair—and no others should be coun- tenanved—it would even mean more profits to the railroads through the increaed traffic. The position of the railroad em- ployes in this argument overgpublic control of railroad rates aud the com- pulsory use of fair traiffs should be neutral, unless tuey are certain in- justices threatens their employers, when it is proper for them to come to their aid. Usually, however, the tailroads will get along pretty well Without help.—Duluth Tribune, 160 ACRES rearCamby, Minn., wi!l trade for Jand in Cass or Itasca, 100 acres are plowed, 60 acres in pasture, good buildings.
