The Joint board meeting of the aupervla ora of Harrlaon and Pottawattamie coun ties resumed Ita sessions Thursday morning with Chairman Drandce presiding, and Su pervisors Hall, Huabrook and Murray of Harrison county and Supervisors Baker, BulllH, 8iencer and Seta of Pottawattamie county present. C. W. Kellogg, attorney for C. D. But terfleld of Missouri Valley, appeared be fore1 tho board and presented a claim of I1.UJ0 for land taken by the Harrison-Pottawattamie drainage ditch. The claim was made that Buttcrflcld, had no notice of the proposed ditch being put through his land, whereby about fifteen acres are appropria ted, and hence he could not file a claim In time for the board meeting. The claim waa referred to County At torney Haas, who shortly thereafter re ported recommending the rejection of the claim on the ground that sufficient formal notice had been given by publication and that the claimant had slept on his rights. Tho report and recommendation of County Attorney Haas was adopted and the Butterfleld claim disallowed. Under the drainage law a committee con slstlng of two commissioners and a con sulting engineer must be appointed by the board of commissions to classify the lands and assess the benefits thereto In all drain age districts, the same to be taxed against the property so benefited. Messrs. S. C. Eshelman of Harrison county and- Henry Welse of Pottawattamie county w-re ap pointed as the commissioners, but ...e ap pointruent of a consulting engine . rxs the third member of the committee was de ferred until Thursday morning.

The selection of this en gineer is also left until the meeting of Thursday morning. An effort will be made to seoure the Rervtoea of 6eth Dean of Glen wood, a well known drainage engineer of the atate. About 70,000 acres of land will be reclaimed by the ditch. The land comprises some of the most fertile in the Missouri valley. The name of C. L. Huff of Logan, la. was proposed aa consulting engineer for the ditch work, hut he waa defeated by a vote of 3 to 6. The Harrison county com mlssloners only voting for him.

The Illinois laws prohibit tha marriage of persons' of that close rela tionship ko the twain went to Lincoln, Neb., where they sought a license to marry Wednesday morning. There they learned that there waa a similar Inhibition against the marriage ot first coimlns, and so they Journeyed back to Council Bluffs, where the law relative to Dan Cupld'a caprices are ltas rigid. The license waa obtained about i o'clock Wedneaday evening and the marriage took place at the First Congre- gatlonal parsonage very shortly thereafter.

He refused, however, to give out any statement aa to whether or not he will Join with the other states In the Investigation. It la learned, how ever, that the real reason why the states of Iowa, llllnola and Michigan did not Join yesterday In the plana ot the other four atatea la because of a belief that thla la not the time to begin the investigation.

Hodolphe Lem teux, solicitor general of Canada; Raoul Dandurand. speaker of the Canadian sen ate; Senator Burrows and Governor War ner of Michigan and Congressman Burton of. Ohio also spoke. , The speeches were de livered from a stand In the government park, whloh was tastefully decorated. Vice President Fairbanks spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman. I.hiILk and Oentlemen: We cordially welcome our friends from anaaa to share lu this celebrution. 1 he vent we commemorate is of mutual Inter est to the people of the two couniries. Mere, side oy side, are the great locks, on constructed by the Untied eia.rs f.nd the other by the Pnminiou of Camilla, ThroiiKh them passes Interchangeably tne commerce of the two countries. Here they will st.ind In close fellnnshin for centuries to come. discharging their Important functions. We rust that they will a wavs he symbolical of the cordial relations and neighborly re gard of the two people through whoso veins flow the blood of a common ancestry. We owe allegiance to different Institu tions. Above us are different flags, emblems of the mightiest powers Ukh tills earth. w e nave no sense of rivalry except in those mays which make for a higher and better civilisation. There are no fortifications along our com mon frontier; no battleships upon the waters which divide us. These are nut needed now, and we trust that In God's Providence they shall never be required. We are the respecters of each other s In stitutions, of each other's laws, of each other's rights. We are bound to each other by strong social ties and sentiments of mutual respect. Competition In trade Is n vitalizing fact.ir. It is not born of unfriendliness. It has Ita Inspiration In that Just self-interest whk?h nas ueen the llle of trade from the begin ning until now. One of our wisest Amer icans, William McKlnley, whose good name is tne precious nerltage or tne Human race, said at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo: "Though commercial com petitors we are, commercial enemies we must not be." The national policies of the United States and Canada may not be in accord. If they be not It will be due to no unfriendliness of purpose, but to that sense of duty which each primarily owes to Ita own. We look upon our commercial develop ment sines this canal win dedicated to commerce wrth the utmost satisfaction. All sections Of the country have gone forward. expanding In commercial strength, but no where is mere l oc found more remarka ble growth than we witness In the territory which Is tributary to the St. Mary's canal. The tonnage passing through this canal has risen ironi an averuge ot k.imi tons per an num in the first decade to L'5.000.i0 tons ner annum in the ten years endlnK In ItkH. Last year more than 16.000 vessels Massed throimh these locks, carrying more than Sl.Rn0.uw tons of freight, valued at over 340.0iA,Wj. Commerce Will Increase, The maximum has not yet been reached. Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth, Detroit, Tol edo, Cleveland, Buffalo and other cities which sit In malestv and nower unon ihe shores of the Great Lakes are rapidly In creasing In population and In commercial importance., rne great mines aro pouring their wealth of cheap material Into the channels of trade In rapidly increasing de gree. The fertile agricultural reglona are sending their vast surplus to feed mllliuns In the east and Oeyond the Atlantic. The commerce of the United Slates has Increased beyond the dreams of the moat optimistic of a half century ago. Our for eign commerce has, with rapidity, attained a vast volume. It Is Insignificant, however, In amount and value when compared with our Internal commerce. Railways are taxd to their utmost capacity and our ships upon Inland water routes are loaded to the limit of their carrying power, bearing the prod ucts of a progressive and great people. Old methods of Interchange are found inade quale to meet the current needs. They are constantly Improved and enlarged. .New Instruments of intercommunication are created. The capacity of all these in quickly taxed. New transportation facilities crcnte new traffic. The wants of tho people quickly expand to meet them. The canal is nieniinen wun tne period of our most rapid Industrial development. The ever-increasing procession or ships through It tells the story of our expanding production, growing trade and increasing Industrial importance. The scepter of commercial power la speedily passing Into American control, if we are hut true to the vast oppor tunities which lie at our hands, the United States will become the acknowledged leader In the commerce of the world. The conquest will be achieved by the men of trade and not by the men of war.

We tk pride In our com merce, because It tends to lift the country to a higher and better level. It tends to equalize conditions. It enlarges the op portunity of labor and capital and gtvea our people morn homes and fills them with puiM of the comforts, of life. It brings communltlea and trade centers to gether In common interest A higher civ ilisation follows In Its pathway, Commerce a Means, Sot an F.nd, While we ure a commercial people, we aro not subservient to commercialism. We seek to expand commerce as a means, not as an end. We seek Its conquests tiiat we nay minister to those high aspiration which sro tho birthright of the Anglo Saxon race. It la a well recognised maxim of trade that commeice will follow the lines of Iwast resistance. The great lakes afford cheap transportation for tlw vast commerce iriliiituev i hereto The control by the gov- eminent of the Sault frU. Marie canal.

It Insures Just and reasonable transportation charges over a vast area ami win nccoine, as me density of our population Increasea ami trade expands, ot Incalculable Importance in tho luliire. Tlie 1 tilted States has been liberal in advancing IhT Interests of commerce. It has been generous In tne improvement ot livers and harbors, to the end that they should be adequate to meet our advancing national mods. It has appropriated lib erally for canals. The Pi. Mary a canal is not the only evidence or this tact, iler most Important work In promoting the expansion of our commerce Is apon Ihe Isthmus of Panama The enterprise there Is of vast magnitude one which lias de feated all efforts hitherto. It hat under taken upon broad lines, for It will welcomo Impartially the commerce of the world. What others have ten many years In endeavoring to accomplish, we shall not do In a day. Much money, time and patience will be required to complete the work. But It will be built, tor the United States has put Its powerful hand to the task. It Is a grntlfvlng fact that the enormous commerce of the United rltatea upon the Great I akes Is carried In American Ships. The vessels which pass through this canal earning our products, bear the flag of the United States. They were built In our shipyards and arc manned by American seaman. When we come to commerce upon the high seas, we largely give over Ita carriage to ehlpe built abroad Olid sailed by alien powers A large part of the com modities which pass through this canal to the Atlantic seaboard for trane-ahlpment to foreign countries. Is transferred from these Ainerlc.in-owned and American-operated ships to vessels of foreign register. Tills would seem to be Incompatible witbi a wise national policy. While the United States promotes com merce, it makes for peace. Through the timelv Intercession of President Roosevelt, one of the bloodiest wars In history IS about to close. The commissioners of the belligerent powers will assemble In a few dnvs tmder the protection of the American Hag. to deliberate with each other. W trust that their great mission may be successful; that they may bo able to restore peace and disband the groat armies con fronting each other In tho Orient. We are assembled under happy auspices. All our people are engaged to the utmost In promoting the manifold arts of peace. They are bnsv in trade and commerce, science nnd education, ngricu ture and manufacture. They are active In ;hnrlty and philanthropy, seeking to mike tne day In which we live tho most luminous In the history of mankind. Iloxv Trade Waa . llevrloped.
