tion Regarding the Superior Canal.
ST.. paul, April 1e.-The ST. Paul
chamber of commerce canal committee
has received, in reply to a request for
information on the subject OF water
supply, the following statement from
State Geologist Winchell:
At your request I have examined the
critical region, as expressed in our maps
and our data of topography, embracing
the eastern divide" ON route Nc. / of
the proposed canal. 1t is in the tract
between the West Savanna and the East
Savanna rivers, in sections 4, 8 and Z in
township so north, % west, being about
three miles long as the canal cuts it.
This ID the old route of the Hudson Bay
company for the transportation of sup
plies and furs from the Mississippi to
Lake Superior by canoes, until about
80 years ago. The country on the
actual divide Is fat or ~undulating, con
sisting largely of sand and gravel, with
out rock. The important question that
arises 10: Can water be got to feed the
canal on this distance OF three miles on
the divide? Fortunately the West Sa-
wanna river has a tributary from the
northwest, draining Ar are Of o about 10
square miles, embracing several small
lakes and much swamp. This tributary
IL that which must be made
use Of near the West Savanna
river. By diverting this water from its
present course, involving . cutting
through the same kind OF country for a
distance Of about q mile and q quarter,
all this water could be brought into
use, and 1t ID more than sufficient 30
feed the proposed canal in the most
elevated portion Of its course. This -
on the supposition that the old Hudson
Bay company's route be used exactly Is
it was located, but by extending the
course Of the canal about d mile
further north, through . low and
swampy tract, these same lakes On
towdship 81 north, range 20 westl can
be used for the same purpose by q cut
ting of about half o mile, thus uniting
the West Savanna and the East Savanna
by Q continuous water course. This
water is abundantly sufficient to feed
the canal on the divide, and at all lower
stations Of course there Is still more
water available from the larger
streams. !. ~

The wyoming Governor.b,p.

CHEYENNE, April 12.-Democratic
politicians are now claiming that the
term of Governor Osborn does not ex-
pire until January, 1896. If this prove
to be the case nc gubernatorial election
will be held in Wyoming tais year. The
claim is based on the provision of the
state constitution that the governor shall
be elected for four years, no provision
being made for filling unexpired terms.
Governor Osborne was elected to fill an
unexpired term.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April Ex-Governor
Osborne has refused to honor a requisi-
ton issued by Governor Richards of
Montana, for Thomas J. Wherry, charged
with assault with intent to kill, because
of ir~regularity in the papers. Wyoming's
governor took occasion to write a sar-
castle letter to Governor Richards be-
cause the latter once refused to give mp
q murderer because he feared the man
would be lynched in Wyoming.

By the government report on the con
ditton Of the crop at the first of April
winter wheat as reported by the statisti-
clan of the department Of agriculture,
averaged s6.7 per cent for the entire
country; last year the average was TIA.
In 1892 it was s1.2 and 900 for the year
1891. The corresponding average for
rye is GA per cent. The average OF
wheat for the principal states is as fol-
lows; Kentucky, SO; Ohio. 80; Michigan,
SO; Indiana, 80; Illinois, 81; Missouri, So;
Kansas, 70; Nebraska, So; Iowa, 81.
The average date of seeding in the
Ohio and Mississippi valley was late, ow-
ing to dry weather. In general, how
ever, the conditions of soil were not I'M
favorable to planting and termination.
Very little damage reported from the
Hessian fly and that only in sections of
Ohio, Michigan Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas. The weather from seeding time
until the recent cold wave swept over
the country, except in some cases, has
been very favorable to the growth Of the
plant. In the Eastern, Northern and
Northwestern states snow covering has
afforded protection in addition 10 that
Of q mild temperature.
The returns in regard to the effect up
on wheat resulting from the recent cold
snap are not so satisfactory nor so con-
elusive as is desirable. The injury to
the crop is undoubtedly considerable, If
NOT great.
