MIanesota's Lakes Dry,ug Up.

Twenty years ago Minnesota wasdistingulshed
above all Others In the United States by the i'm
mense number of its lakes. hrimful OF the
purest water. Since then there has been "A
gradual recession OF these lakes as well as the
stream which they led from their copinu7
reservoir, Many OF them have disappeared.
All have sunk far below their former level.
Gen. Baker, when turveyor-General OF tho

Mr. Walter G. .Rro~cr, In a pamphlet Just

in Minnesota from 1900 to 1899, From 1870 TO

There will be no dissent from his opinion that
