Irrigation in Wisconsin.

For some years irrigation mas been
carried on experimentany in Wiscon-
sin under the direction Of the state
university Some OF these expert
ments have been conducted at Madi-
son and some at Stevens Point Last
year the drouth in Wisconsin being
very severe, the results in favor of
irrigation were very marked In the
potato fields alone the yield was 16O
bushels of potatoes in favor of those
irrigated. This difference does not
exist in most years, but irrigation :,
always an insurance against loss fror
drouth.

Work of Making Cashmere shawIs.

Cashmere shawls are made from the
wool of the Cashmere goat, which
lives in the Cashmere valley, Thibet
and Tartary- Only the summer wool
is used, and this is bleached by a prep
aration of rice flour. For each coiored
thread a different needle is used The
process is SO slow that when the de-
sign is elaborate, the completion of
one square inch will occupy three per
sons for day, and a shawl of re-
markabIe beauty would take this num-
Der a year for its execution

MAJ. HOXIE
ON I The DAM
Interesting Report on the
Government Job at
Meeker Island.
Work on the Headwater
Reservoirs s-Next Years +
Requirements. /

From. The journal Bureau. Room 4S. Foss
Building, Wushtngton' .-. -s
Washington, July 25 - Major r. L.
Hoxie's annual report to the chief of en-
gineers, made public to-day, says that
lock No. 2, at Meeker island, was virtual
ly completed during the first half of the
fiscal year. During the balanceyo this
season the filling and emptying valves
will be set, maneuvering machinery in
stalled and wood flling placed in the
quoins in the lower lock gate and stop
water on the upper lock gate. This
will complete the lock ready for the re-
moval of the cofferdams. The cofferdan,
for the west 27s feet of the dam has been
completed.
AT lock and dam No. 1, work during the
year was confined to obtaining fowage
privileges and to making borings at the
site. All the necessary land has been
acquired except about thirteen acres and
condemnation proceedings have been in
augurated to obtain title to that land.
Major Ho1ie says it is expected that at
the theadwaters of the Mississippi, the
Leech lake dam vii be completed early
this fall and the plant will then be trans
ferred to the Pokegama Falls dam.
Resumption of the work at Pine river
reservoir is suspended pending further ex-
animation and survey The organization
of parties for the resurvey Of the reser
voirs was commenced. AS soon as this Is
completed, the necessary steps will be
takensto acquire fowage rights. A fur
ther appropriation will be required for
the completion of work under the original
project and the estimate of the cost Of
resurvey of the reservoirs will be some
what exceeded (about SO, 0,O00) owing to
the requirements of the last river and
harbor act.
The report says that the two main
reservoirs Of Lake Winnibigashish and
Leech lake were in operation during the
year.. but later, being only partially re-
built, could only store moderate guam
tity of water: The distributing reser-
voirs at Pckegama falls and at Pine
river and Sandy lake have, been operated
rs usual but on account of their small
size their effect has been slight except#as
they assisted in floating loose logs. The
effect of the reservoirs when in full op-
eration,' says Major Hoxie,z ''is to- inr
crease the stage of water at St. Paul
during the low water period in the late
summer and fall by 12 to 1S inches.'
: No work was done on Chippewa, St..
Croix and, Minnesota rivers or on the
Warroad river and Warroad harbor owing
to the lack of funds. -. =.
Major Hoxie submits the following es-
Inmates Of appropriations required dur
: ing the fiscal year. ending June 80, 1904:
Locks and dams, Meeker island, $3.50, 900; !;
reserves at headwaters of the Mississippi,
s205, 900; st. Croix river, $1,000; Minnesota
river, $500: Red River of the North and Red

COL. FRED,s SALARY.
May Draw 1t for July, Say Police
Committees Members.

Colonel Fred w. Ames will draw his full
salary for July, but If he doesn't show up
for duty next month the August pay rolls
will not carry his name. That is tho
sentiment of the police committee Of the
council expressed this morning at the
conclusion Of meeting. The COMMITTEES
did not even take the trouble to ask the
city attorney for an opinion as to the
chiefs right to draw pay for the last week
of the present month. They did put the
question to Secretary Brown, however, as
to when Colonel Anne" leave expired. Mr..
Brown naturally replied August 4, the
date of the expiration Of the extended
leave obligingly granted by the mayor at
West Baden.
The city attorney was prepared to tell
the committee that the chiefs S. leave ex-
pired July % from the fact that the mayor
had no legal right to extend his leave, as
he was not at the time the de facto mayor.
But his opinion was not asked, He was
asked. however, for ruling on the on
cial status OF Captain Fitehette. This
worthy police official, he told the commits
tee, was certainly entitled to remain on
the force II Mayor Anes so wiIled it,
pending the stay of execution of his work
house sentence. So both officials will draw
their July salaries in full unless the city
council should decide otherwise tonight.
