When snowstorms of last winter tied up railroad traffic completely, a sled equipped with 125 horse power aviation motor and with run ners, (nine feet long and six focft wide patterned after sklls, carried passengers from town to town. The sled has been used dally through the winter to carry passcngdrs and freight GO miles on the Lake of the Woods. Tho trip requires four hours, according to the owners of the sled, who say it enables people across the lake), who formerly spent three days In reaching Warroad, to make the trip In two hours. There is extensive winter fishing on the .luke, most of it done 50 miles from here.

Miss Lillian Kussell, famous actress, sent abroad as special immigration com missioner, reports to Washington that in her judgment two drastic changes should be made in immigration laws, j The first would prohibit all immigra-, lion for five years, the second would , provide that all immigrants couiini? to the country live here for fwenty-ona years before being permitted to vote. "Our own males must live here for that length of time before being giv en the ballot, why not aliens?" Miss Russell argues. Miss Russell believes that no immi giant should be permitted to remain here who will not within a given length of time, lcnrn to read and writa English; and that immigration offic ials should come over on all boats bunging immigrants, talking with those who will make their homes here, learning their ambitions, and thus be ing able to direct them where' they should go in America for their own and the country's best good. Speaking of her belief in the need to restrict immigration for five years, Miss Kussell said: "Europe is ready to release thou ands ot immigrants, most of them uii'lesiiable. the moment our restiic tions are lifted. It is for us to stem such a destructive title by legislation which will admit to residence here only constructive labor. We need farm workeis, not lower Fast Side denizens, which arc the sort most eager to el'.:er here." BUFFALO,, Mar. 20.
