DOES ORDER STANDS.
Assistant Secretary Of War Says
Appleton Mills Must Re-
main Idle.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-[Special.l
The Appleton mills will not be allowed
to use water from the Fox river. The
United States engineers who were di-
rected to measure the flow of water have
submitted their reports. Upon this re-
port Assistant Secretary Doe has decid-
ed that his order must stand
To the Wisconsin correspondent
said this afternoon: ''The flow is no.
sufficient to warrant the use of any OF
the water in the river. The flow is SO
small that the impairment of the supply
above the dam is not being made good.
[ have before decided that until there is
a heavy rainfall it will not be wise to
permit any of the water to be used.
VIII you order the electric light and
street railway plants to cease the use of
water?
When [ was in Appleton it was decid-
ed that the Edison Light company might
run, provided other mill owners did not
object But since then we learn that
Smith of that company has been giving
power to printing offices and other estab-
lishments, and that he has gotten into
day a very sharp letter in which told
him plainly that if his works are shut
dOWn he alone will be to blame"
There is no disposition on the part of
this department to deprive the citizens
of Appleton of electric light, but the law
must be complied with and as 100000
cubic feet of water are required to supply
power, where the flow of the rives does
not exceed 10000 feet, nothing can be
done. Still if the electric light company
will use power solely to produce light
there will be no steps taken here to pre-
vent them from doing so.'
Then the mills will not be allowed
to resume?'
Certainly not until the water above
the dam reaches the height stipulated

LAWS CUT NO FIGURE.
Oshkosh Fishermen Continue Their H
legal Business on Lake Winnebago.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. S.-[Special. l-Lo>
cal fishermen continue to defy the state
fish law with the utmost assurance. Lake
Winnebago is lined with miles Of illegal
hshnetS, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding, and the daily shipments Of
fish from this point are from fifteen to
forty barrels. No effort at concealment
is made, the feet Of fishing smacks put
ting off each morning for their daily work
the same as though no law against net
fishing existed. Meanwhile the deputy
wardens in a steam yacht paid for by the
state are cruising around the adjacent
waters and complacently assert that
very little illegal fishing is being done"
Occasionally they capture a few old nets
that are about worn out and the great
fuss and ado they make over each capt
ure of this kind is truly amusing, the
more so as it is pointed out that miles of
new and valuable nets are left untouched
A case occurred few mornings ago when
a party of bold fishermen set eighteen Ok
twenty nets near Stoney beach, just south
of the city. Three hours later the fish
carefully skirting around where the meta
were set, spent several hours szirting the
lake shore further south and finally re-
turned to the city with a bugabOo yarn
about sweeping all the fish pirates off the
face of the earth"
