THE MINNEAPOLIS DAM.
High Water Wrecks the Golfer
Dam, and Delays the ~
Other Repairs. ~t5r.,.&

A large part of the new stone dam
at minneapolis was battered down by
the logs and Ice last pring, and the
continued high water has prevented
the repairs Of the damage. The fol.
lowing from the Minneapolis Trib-
une Of Sunday will show that the
owners af the dam are meeting with
continued trouble: t&$
For some time last evening,
CONSERVATION resigned among the
workmen on the new dam. Part
of the Golfer dam which is
situated just below the Tenth
avenue bridge gave way, ard for q
time it.looked as though the entire
structure would be broken down by
the heavy onslaught of water. But
t y enty feet gave way. however, the
main part of the dam withstanline
the strain and allowing swift cur
rent to pass through the broken
part into the head race. ~ s
The Golfer dam is but t. mpOrary
structure, built to keep the water
out of the head race, while the per-
manent dam is being built. As no
work Oh this is being done at this
point at present the damage will be
very slight. The Golfer dam Is built
principally of loose stone, braced by
heavy timber.
AssOOn ~ the accident occurred.
Engineer de la Barre was summoned
to the scene, and in few moments
had workmen repairing the damage.
This consisted In throwing loose
stones out into the current until the
original height was reached. subse-
queutly to be braced by timber.
MIR. de la Barre did not look upon
the accident as q serious one. or one
that entailed any considerable ex-
expense. The only outlay it would
cause. was the three workmen's pay
during the night, filing up the
broken space. MIR. de 10 Barre ex-
poets to have the entire damage fully
repaired today. He attributes the
accident to sudden rise of the wa
ter in the river, caused by the late
heavy rains. The water, coming
over the east falls, has rushed against
the part of the Golfer dam, immf-
diately near the shore, with tremen-
dous force. 1t ia likely that some
weak spot In the dam has allowed
the water to trickle through. The
soil in the river at this point is also
known to be Of unreliable character.
and it may be that the water first
commenced to work it's way through
in the bed of the river.
The Only change in the appearance
at the new dam by the occurrence
wrought was the filing up with the
water of the head race, which other
wise is dry. This water caused no
damage. running through the open
gates ut the power house. and into
the river by way OF the foot race.

white pine lumber tariff Senator
Pettigrew stated that there was not
to exceed 81, 00O, 000. 900 feet OF stand
ing white pine In the country, and
that it was controlled by q dozen
firms. The lumbermen Of the North
west at once disputed that state
ment. The Michigan lumbermen
sent Information that there were
e, 0OO, 0OO, 900 feet in that state, and
800 individual owners. Frederic
Weverhaeuser and other owners Of
Wisconsin pine claimed that there
was $4,000, OOO, 900 feet in that state,
and over $40 individual owners and
100 lumber companies. Ackley,
Smith, Nelson and other Minneapolis
lumbermen asserted that there were
from thirty-five to forty billion feet
in Minnesota. and there were $50
companies and 10000 individual
owners of this pine, not counting
thousands Of homesteaders and
farmers. Az an illustration of the
value of some of the statistics given
out in Washington on the white pine
supply it is interesting to note that
the census bureau In 1890 placed the
amount of standing white pine in
the country ut 4S,O00,OO0,G0O feet.
The forestry division OF the agricul-
tural department ut Washington es-
tim ates the consumption of white
pine for the six years since 1880 Ut
GA 500, 0O0. 900 feet. Both departments
will doubtless admit there Ia some
left.
