HOtU to Improve oar Wates' PosO
er.-Auything that can be done to reader
our Water Of more value, and increase the
certainty Of flow of water in Rock river
ample enough for the wants of all the Manu-
factories along its banks, should be deem
ed matter of great importance, not only to
the citizens of Waterfowl, but the people of
the several places along the river who suf-
fer more or less every year from tbs rapidly
diminishing condition Of tie stream.
As a means of obtaining the nee essary
supply of water, it is suggested 10 dig
canal uniting Rock river at the point
where the Milwaukee and st. Pa1i Railway
crosses the stream east Of Ixonia Station,
with Lake La Belle at Oconomowoc, t dis
lance of only three miles, which would give
US never failing reservoir to draw from, a.
La Belle Lake receives its volume of water
from bountiful springs. We learn from
those competent to judge that the project is
quite practicable. The fall is sufficient and
the canal could be dug with very lit lie ex-
pense compared with the great be ne6ts to
be derived from the Completion of the work
The probable cost of the improvement would
be less than $40, 600, and we venture the
opinion that it would pay the mill owners
along Rock river from the canal to Jefferson
double the amount of the outlay inside of five
years. Is not the proposition worthy the
attention of those directly interested
At present there is nothing reliable about
our water power, but with this channel of
supply the flow Of water would be abun-
dant for all requirements and the many
perpIexities and annoyance our mill owners
now labor under would at o nce be removed
