Tue DuLUuTH HERALD calls atten- yn to the fact that Holland is $2,800 an acre to redeem i from the sea while Minnesota au, by the expenditure of about $1 acre, redeem land equally as good mitsswamps. This is a cvnvinc- argument for \drainage. And as U's the northern part of the state that needs drainage and likewise the that is to yield the increased revenues demanded by the tax com- it would be fitting for the state to apply its increased income to It is the state’s business to drain its own swamp lands and if it does not do so, Uncle Sam should take them back, and improve them same mission drainage. for his loyal ci MINNESOTA TREATED WELL and the Northwest is given more than the usual amount of consideration in the annual report of Gen, A. MacKeuzie, ‘chief engineer of al] the river and harbor work of the eountry The report deals with the general scheme of a six-foot channel from the nouth of the Missouri to St. an eight-foot channel from St. Louis mouth of the Ohio, but no specific apporpriation is recommend- ed, the matter being left inthe hands fa special survey,and subject to eongressional action. Reyarding the between the Twin Cities, a report is made as to the flooding of lock No. 1, which requires a new flooring. and also the removing of silt, river gravel and refuse. Lock No. 2 is now open for naviga- tion and vessels drawing four feet or ess and having sufficient power to stem theswift current below the lock are now able to reach the. steamboat anding at Minneapolis at and above the three-fout stage of the river maintained during the low-water through the operation of eservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi. The head of navigation for large boats is now at the mouth xf the Minnesota river. Freight boats and raft boats can and do navigate this portion. The reach from the mouth of the Minnesota river to Minnehaha creek, a distance of 3.4 miles is available for lightdraft excursion boats. At Minnesota to the season the present time the principal com- ! merce is the passage of lags, loose rafted. During the calendar year 000,000 feet of logs or, approximate- y, 300,000 tons, was floated loose on the upper and middle sections. ‘Tbe construction of locks and dams will develop a passenger traffic be- tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, and tis expected to reduce the frieght rate on flourand grain from Muinae- apolis. It is proposed to expend an amount, to We estimated during the fiscal year of 1909 in the_construction of a lock tender’s dwelling at lock and dam No. 2and completing lock and dam No..1. The i $28. an available balance of and the estimate to be expended js $239,543. Reservoirs at the headwaters of the dississippi are treated as permanent tnd continuous projects. There are now five steamboats »yperating between, Grand Rapids and Brainerd, doing both freight and passenger business, The project at present is to replace the original timber structures by permanent dams of concrete or masonry and to constructa concrete Louis,. locks and dams, dam at Gull lake, Minnesota. The navigation interests, particularly benefited by this system, boats operating on the Mississippi river from St. Paul down. The effect of the project-and freight rates is far-reaching, as it makes steamboat transportation » possible between Brainerd and Grand Rapids, where freight would otherwise have to be earriead by wagon, and it makes it possible to maintain the river at St. | Paul at or above a three-foot stage, when it would otherwise be liable to fall to zero or below. ‘The railroad freight from St, Paul to St. Louis,600 miles,is oaly 5 per cent higher than the rate from St. Paul to Chicago, 400 miles. The steamboat freight rates to common points be- low St. Paul are about one-third lower than those of,the railroads. The effect>of the reservoirs io mitigating the floods of the upper Mississippi is pronounced. Were it not for the holding back in the reservoirs of flood waters of a drain- age basin of 3,265 square miles in extent, the flood height» between Sandy river and Aitkin would often be several feet higher than it is dur- ing the spring and early summer. During the year necessary repairs were made to the dams and quarters at Winonibigosbish and Leech lake dams and’ Bena, Minn. Between Sandy lake dam and McGregor, Minn., and between Pine.river dam and Pequot, Minn., on the St. Croix river, navigation is being maintained. On June 30, 1907, the amount expended during the fiscal year for main- tenance of improvements WARE sp So vee ne steak - -$3,048 99 Balance unexpended 3,831 66 Outstanding liabilitie: 656 90 Balance available . $3,174 76 Until a constant and sufficient low water depth is assured, which can only be by such regularity in appro- priations as will permit the annual dredging at the outlet, the Minnesota river can have no effect on commerce or freight rates, as vessels of com- mercial size cannot ordiuarily enter it. For the survey of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, an allotment of $7,000 has been made, and the amouaot expended up to June 30, 1907, was $5,718.73. The survey has been completed, and and an edition of 3,000 charts printed by the photolithography. The charts are sold at. 50 cents each or $4.50. —St. Paul Dispatch. . Why Did Adam Love Eve? Why do you love that girl instead of some other girl?. Why don’t you ! love ber sister? Why does she love you instead of loving your best friend? Your best friend is a fine fellow. He has as many good qualities as you have; maybe more. a is really *more worthy of her ove that you are. But she lovessyau aud she dosen’t love him. As for her, you feel that she is the prettiest, the dearest aad the most sensible woman in the whole world. Of all the girls you know, she would tuake the most ideal wife. This is either true or not true. If it is true. why dosen’t your friend think the same as you do? How is it possible that he should think some other girl superior to yours? Perhaps it’s a matter of judgment. Perhaps it’s because you and your girl (oryour wife) are wiser than other people are. Can explain it by saying, ‘‘They would feel just the same as ‘we feel if they only knew as much as we know about each other.” It isn’t the result of similar tastes. Men who like music often marry giris who don’t know the difference be- tween a bass fiddle and an ocarina. Girls with domestic” tastes select men who haven’t spent an evening at home since they put on long trousers. Think of the happy married couples where the man likes books and, the girl dosen’t, where she 1s thrifty and he inclined to be wasteful, where she likes music and he hates it. It isn’t taste. » Is it growth of sentiment, ben?) Does the man decide that this giri would make a pretty good wife, and then teach himself to shut his eyes to the charms of every other woman? Or is it the result of association— that this particular man and _ this particular girl were thrown together, and love just happened? . Lhis is only anew turntean old question; not “What is 4 ba but “Why is love? Why did Adam love Eve? Because there wasn’t anybody else around? Was Adam obliged to love somebody, or something, and did le take Eve because she was all he could tind except the serpent and the apple tree? é Once more, Why is loye? We are not going to answer this. We could answer it of course, if it was necessary. People who write editorials always have to be able to answer everything. _ If they are not, they lose their jobs. =~: ee AeoePFwaihi= Fpéa Ff most you? | in addition to Brainerd, are steam-|if you don’t know why? | No Good Reason For Growing Old. ‘many of usof theolder generation Have you got any rts nese Pas Let your thoughts get away from trusts and money and politics: for a little while.

Just sign your initials and mail to the editor: * Why is love? Recent publications in the East have quoted some one as saying that it is a crime to, grow old. That fellow knows. A little care exercised in liv- | ing will prevent any one from be- coming an old map, no matter how | many years he has lived on earth. They say that amanis asold as he feels. Thatis true, as can be scen by the great number of men who are old in years only, but who physically and mentally are in an excellent state of preservation. The word! ‘preservation’? is hardly the proper one, as that ‘means that a decay would take place if not prevented, when the truth of the matter is that are steadily advancing in strength. There seems to be no good reason advanced why a man sbould retire at 62 or 70 from active parficipation in life, provided he ha’. taken good care of himseif. By gvod care is not meant that aman should not drink what he wants to orsmoke if he wishes; but he should use judgment ic his mode of living, A systematic course of liying will do wonders for anyone. Eat three he Everthing meals a day and eat them ata regular timeeach day. That has been proven to be a goud rule. Another rule with .regard tosleepshould be en- forced by law, if necessary. A man should stay in bed at least eight hours ata time. The future welfare of the state is in the hands of men. A strong and healthy man is far more capable of exercising govud judgment on all matters than Is one whose mind is distracted by body ailments. With that idea in view and with a universad knowledge that it is correct, it seems as if the state has a full right td pass laws with regard to the carea man shall take of his owa body. “A start has been made in this line. Witness the city board uf health. The object of this is to protect society from the actions of one man. But if the authority is there, and the cause 18 just, the state has a perfect right to protect itself from its citizens, even if it requires that a man be protected from himself. Whitefish Season Opens Nov. 10th. License 1ust be secured from State Game and Fish Commission at St. Paul. The lawful season for netting whitetish opens November 10th. (to- morrow) anc as many haye asked concerning the provisions of the’ law as to netting, we herewith reproduce that. section of the game law that covers the matter referred to: “In all of the inland lakes in this state, permission having been grant— ed therefor, but not otherwise, a net may be used for the purpose of tak- ing and catching whiteflsb or trelipies for their own domestic use,from Nov, 10th to Dec. 10th of the same year. Said net shall not exceed one hun- dred (100) feet in length and three feet in width. and the meshes of said net shall not be less than three and one-half (3+) 1nches in sizeof mesh when the same is extended. The sale of whitefish and trelipies so caught is hereby prohibited. Any person desiring to use any such net shall tirst make applicdtion fora permit therefor to the commission, in writing, and shall state tbat the said net is to be used by them for the purpose’ of obtaining fish for their own domestic use and not for the purpose of sale, which application | shall be accompanied bv a fee of one dollar ($1.00) for each net, but no person shall be permitted to use more than two (2) of such nets, and such: fish shall not be sold or offered for sale.” There is another! provision of the law relative to the storing of game, which it might be weli for everyone ‘to read. “Section 60.—Cold storage. The placing or receiving within or Stor— age of anv game bird orgame animal, or any part thereof, in any cold storage plant is hereby prohibited and made unlawful.” Srrayep—Came to my place in section 54, township 24, about Aug. tst,bull calf, red, about six months old, small, Owner can have same by proving porperty and paying for no- ‘tice, Joxs JOHNSON.
