![BRIAN PETERSON ¥ brianp@startribune.com St. Paul, MN 9/24/2009 ] A lone kayaker makes his way from the Minnesota River into the Mississippi near Pike Island near Fort Snelling Thursday afternoon. Minnesota and 11 other states in the watershed of the Mississippi River will get $320 million from the federal government to clean up the river. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the program today, calling the 2,350-mile river "a critical national resource." The Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative is designed to improve water quality during the next four years in an attempt to shrink the "dead zone" the river's pollutants create in the Gulf of Mexico.](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/O7Z6YC6SRE6G4XOBWQNICI7WUU.jpg?&w=80&ar=1:1&fit=crop)
