STATE SHOULD JOIN IN THE WORK Minnesota Will be Asked to Make Appropriation of Fifteen Thou- sand Dollars to Carry on Joint Survey. | The reclamination service has some good things in store for Minnesota. 1t is going to adopt the idea of the Steenerson bill, which seeks to em- pigy money derived from the sale of government drainage. It is desirable, however, that what- ever is undertaken in this way shall be done systematically. The govern- ment has provided for a topographi- cal survey of the Red Lake reserva- tion and the engineers are already on the ground preparing for the work. Fifteen thousand dollars have been appropriated by congress for this sur- vey with a view to draining Uhe reser- vation lands. Itis apparent, however, that the wotk of draining the reservation can- not be successfully accomplished if it is contined to the reservation alone as it would be if it were carried out as a part df a general scheme for the drainage of all lands capable of being effectually drained in that part of the stute. So it is proposed by the re- élamation service that the state of Minnesota appropriate an additional $15,000, which, it is estimated, will be sufficient to extend the work of the government surveyors over the state latuuls and other lands which it is ‘de- sirable to drain. ~ ‘fae government: engineers Will then lay out a general and practical scheme for the whole undertaking and have the data ready for presentation at the first term of the next congress. The government Jand sales in Min- nesota are bringing into the federal treasury now about $900,000 a year. This money diverted into drainage of public and private lands on the re- volving fund plan would change the character 5f the district drained from waste to a hignly productive land. Under the revolving plan the money expended by the government would come back in annual payments.in the case of privately owned Jands, and in the case of pMblic lands 1n thejr eu- hanced value. The goverument is coming to recog- nize the propriety of applying rev- Jands in Minnesota to Local Time Table. euues from the sale of public lands to drainage quite as well as to irriga- West | Bast Bound | Bouad tion.

It Js quite as necessary to drain off as to|drain on in order to prevent the flooding of portions of the irrigated lands. Another fact of’ interest in connec- tion with this scheme for a compre- hensive system of drainage under government rather than state control is the probability that considerable water which now finds its way into the Red Lake basin and Red River valley may bediverted into the Mis— sissippi.

Tri is Dee peaern that the govern- ment would be slow to divert money from government land sales to drain- age work carried on by the state. The government will prefer to have supervisicn of the surveys and the building of the drainage system. When Did This Happen?. We learn from the Aitkin Age: “The Mesaba company that recently bought the Grand Rapids telephone exchange will entirely reconstruct the plant, put the wires in cables and put up their own building. This will give our neighboring village an exchange in keeping with the pros- perous times of the Gay,” Will Tell About Grand Rapids. Mr. J. S. Monger, a newspaper man of experience and good ability, has been in town during the past few days asa representative of the Du- luth Evening Herald. He will pre- pare an article on the manufacturing, agricultural, mining and general business interests of Grand Rapids, Boyey and Coleraine, which will be generously illustrated and published in the Herald in the Sunday edition. Mr. Monger is capable of doing the subject fell justice and we predict that his write-up of this locality \ will be of much benetit. Marc Devine Visits Town. Marc Devine of Blackduck, one of the old-time and well knuwao timber men of Northern Minnesota, visited Grand Rapids Tuesday. During the past several wonths Mr. Devine has been unable to do *much cruising through the woods owing to the con- ition of his health. Some time ago he underwent an operation for ap- pendicitis at the Mayo hospital io Rochester, since which time he has felt much relieved. Like all otbers who re¢eive treatment at the hands of those wonderful surgeons he speaks-of their skill in the bighest terms. Ta relating his experiences. and the marvels preformed by the eminent surgeons to Register of Deeds McGowan Mare stated that his Was an unusual case and it was uec- cessary to completely sever his body— one doctor taking tbe forequarters and another the hindquarters intu different operating rooms fcr treat- nient. That he is again able to pack through the woods is pretty good evi- dence that the uperation was a suc cess. He may bave made it a little strovg but he told the story without a smile or indication of trifling with the truth. Sociology That Fails. It is as puzzling as it is painful to find that a couple who several years ago dedicated thejr lives to the soly- ing of sociological problems have made a muddle of the one nearest home. ‘ Broughton Brandenburg, social re- former, and his wife, his able cowork- er, have separated. When Brandenburg, author of ‘“Im- ported Americans’ and other works, designed to lead. the public mind to sociological light, married a young woman who shared his views and his aims, common comment pronounced it an ideal marriage. For must not sociology, like charity, begin at heme? Mrs. Brandenburg now simply says, “He was ever kind to me, but condi- tions have arisen whereby it is best for us not to see each other.” Brandenburg himself has nothing to say of his failure, being too busy perhaps giving the rest of us bis re- try supply of water for the advantage | ceipt for success. Maybe it is impertinent, but we as to the waterpowers developed at| cannot help wondering why it is that so many zealous persons who make a It is estimated that for power pur-| business of knowing with exact cock- sureness just what is best for other people in all departments of life shouid blunder so in their own must important affairs. Were the Brandenburg case an ex- ception it might be cf little conse- quence. But there is the like case of Gorky, the case of Herron, of Jack London, of Mrs. Besant and even John Alex- t appears from these facts that| ander Dowie, all of whum profess or possess the formula for the regulation of every detail of conduct of the average mav and woman, but are un- able to work out their theories in their own lives. It is worth while to observe merely that all the high-sounding sociology or religion ever taught, which has not a bappy home as its foundation, no reason to doubt that itt is pot worth the wind that carries it. —St. la News will do the rest and from the stand- | Two Dortrars a YEAR. GRAND RAPIDS WING BOTH GAMES Last Sunday’s Result on the Dia- mond was Two Victories. THE SCORE 2 101 AND 3 10.0 Local Team Plays Hibbing Tomor- row—Many Admirers of Sport Will Join Ball Tossers on Trip. —Good Game Looked For. Last Sunday the Universal Millers of Duluth dropped in and after play- ing the entire afternoon succeeded in getting one run (not earned). The Duluth Evening Herald printed am account ef the two games that was the biggest joke in the way ef news sent out for some time, They had. it: that each team won one and put a pitcher by the name of Jones- on the tiring line. Who's Jones? The first: game was a beauty and went tem innings finally being wom by the Rap ids by a score of 2to lL. Our old friend Ernest Larson sighted the riffe for Duluth and sidewheeler 'Phorsen (late of the Big Duluth team)dids the heavy work for the locals. Hipors were about even and both gave a fine exhibition of pitching:. The game looked very bad from: the local stardypoing until the eighthiinning as. Duluth got one run and: noshiag was+ doing on the local side of’ the fence.. Bruce finally took a mighty swipe: ati the ball and it sailed out over’ ceanterr scoring arunner ahead of him and: tying thescore in a hard knot and making an extra innipg necessary. Jake Gertz finally broke the game up. with a beauty hit when two were on the paths. The second game started a few minutes after the first was finished and was the shortest game ever play- edin the city. Stafford went to the center of the diamond for the locals aud Larson being the only heaver the Duluth bunch had was obliged to keep right on working. | Stafford threw the best game he has since the season opened and only once were the Millers Cangerous. In this inning they got three on the bases but Jack tightened up in good shape and no runs resulted. After this they were never dangerous. Larson had the Jocals guessing until the eighth when bunched hits together with an error or two netted three and the game. Final score 3-0. Allin all it was the best afternoon in the bassball line that the fans have ever enjoyed and high hores are en- tertained in the Hibbing series. Three better pitchers than Larson, Stafford and Thorsen would be hard to find in the amateur ranks and the fact that Thorsen has been signed by Manager King will be good news for fans as it gives the locals a good left handed pitcher, something that they have not bad for years. He is probably the youngest man on the team, unless it be Sport and we look to see him in the leagues in a few years. Larson deserved great credit for his work in both games. Next Sunday the team goes to Hib- bing to play the second game of the series and from all indications there will be some real ball playing and & close score, which is just as apt to be in favor of the Rapids as Hibbing. Quirery--for Manager King--when do we see Hibbing here? The first Sunday that the Duluth league team isaway from home the Rapids will go to Duluth to play the Millers on the league grounds. “Ice wagon’? Tommy Robinson who caught for the Millers claims that he has been signed by Hibbing and will catch for them next Sunday. Jake’s got him faded except ip girth and chatter. Huffer Finds His Wife. The following bit of news is taken from last Tuesday’s Bemidji Pioneer; “S. J. Huffer, the Grand Rapids man who passed throngh this city a week ago searching for his wife, who, he claimed, had deserted him and taken along their four children and a large - sum of money, passed through town once more yesterday. This time he had his wife and children with him and was bound for home, where he declared, he was going to settle down and be happy. He located his spouse in Niagara, N. D,”
