File No. 711.4216L/76
The Governor of Minnesota to the Secretary of State
St. Paul , July 10, 1915 .
Dear Mr. Secretary: Citizens of Warroad, Minnesota, are greatly disturbed on account of the high water conditions at Warroad and in its vicinity. As I understand it, relief could be had if the stop logs were removed from the dam at Kenora in Canada. The Mayor of Warroad has wired you, and I have been asked to write you.
I fear the State Department can do nothing to relieve the situation at once, but because there is a pressing need, I am addressing you in the hope that there may be some way in which, through the good offices of the State Department, a greater amount of water may pass over the Kenora Dam.
Very truly yours,
