that used in the case OF Red Lake.
there would be available for storage in
that lake 1882, 800 cubic feet of
water, sufficient to raise the lake ten
1eet above it's normal level, or such
storage could be divided between Of
ter Tail lake and some of the other
large lakes in the same vicinity. with
the estimated ten square miles or Rush
Lake added, the height Of reservoir
that would hold tue average supply
could be reduced to about seven feet,
and by including other large lakes in
the system, any further desired reduc-
ton in the height of the reservoir
could readily be obtained.
No estimate Of the cost of a dam or
dams for reservoir in that locality
has as yet been prepared, but as the
streams on which dams would be re-
CURED are known to be rather narrow,
the cost of construction would prob
ably not be very great; the question of
lana damages In that locality is, how
ever, liable to be of considerable i'm
portance. as with any height of fowage
In excess of three or four feet, consid-
cradle areas Of land would probably
be affected.
The three localities referred to, as
possible sites for reservoirs on the
Red River watershed appears to be the
limit Of possibilities in this respect.
Considered simply in connection with
the improvement Of navigation on the
Red River and it's tributaries, the stor-
age and supply of the three possible
| reservoirs, based on tn estimates pre-

lows:
