Minneapolis Tribune: Comparative
ly few people in Minneapolis realize
that about 40 per cent OF the water that
they SEQ in the Mississippi at this point
In water that comes from the govern
ment reservoirs in northern Minneso-
IA. Still less do they realize how much
dependence is placed on these reser-
voirs by navigators. lumbermen and
owners Of mills using water power.
particularly tho flour mills Since
some time last July these reservoirs
have been supplying the water that
goes to make up the big river, and this
week will probably. SEQ the end OF
their work for this year. It Is necessary
to keep certain amount OF water back
In the reservoirs. and It 10 understood
that. now that tho navigation season 10
practically over and the limit has been
reached. the gates Of the reservoirs will

government engineer. This means
much to tho -four mills. as low water
effects all Of thcm in proportion. and
they will have to depend on their steam
plants from now until tho river rises
again. ..--
There arc four large reservoirs and o
number OF smaller oncs in charge OF
Col. Jones. who opens their gates early.
for the primary purpose OF helping
navigation, bct incidentally to help
the loggers and mill ownera Tho now
OF the water is constant. Early In
tho season, when the logs are coming
down. the amount Of reservoir water
is nearer 60 per cent than 40. The rise
is felt as far south as Dubuque. Iowa.
and the reservoirs arc an immense ben
oft to the steamboat owners. Tho sup
