Not Likely That Twin Cities Will Profit by High Dam. Washington, D. C.— Consideration that is being given to participation by private and public corporations in the | | activities of the United States in water | power and conservation questions at ing been imstituted, at law or other-|this time gives rise to the belief | among members of the commerce com- | mittees of the two houses that it will be impossible for Minneapolis and St. | Paul and the state university ever to obtain the consent of the engineer de- partment of the government or of con- gress to donate the power which would result from the proposed 30 foot | dam. It is believed here that the engin- eers and the river and harbor commit- tee will favor the high dam, but the agitation that has taken place over water power rights and the desirabil- tty of saving to the United States profits accruing from such power rights makes it certain that strong ob- jections will be raised to making any gift of power either to cities or to private parties. Under the terms of the bill intro- duced Wednesday by Senator Nelson, strict provisions are made to care for water power rights and all privileges connected therewith in lands or waters owned or controlled by the United States. The prediction is now made that the river and harbor committee will favor the high dam project with a substan- tial appropriation and also a sum suffi- cient to construct the foundations of the proposed power plant.

Beek of St. Paul, and E. J. Stillwell of Minneapolis was elected to succeed John J. Furlong. W. W. Sivright of Hutchinson, president of the Minne- apolis Implement Dealers’ association, was elected to succeed J. M. Under- wood on the board. JUDGES CHOSE SAINTLY CITY.
