morning to several gentlemen from Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota on the subject Of the
reservoir system, by which it is prososed to
keep up continuous supply of
water in the upper Mississippi river, SO as to
have uninterrupted navigation throughout
the whole year. The plan Is the construc-
ton of series Of great dams, over outlets
Of lakes anu tributaries that pour
their waters into the upper Mississippi
river, by which the rains of the winter and
spring months can be retained and utilized.
The cost of the system is estimated at ST.
100000 and the damages to private property
at 100000.
