WISc0NSIN's MAGNIFICENT POWER.
Government to Study the Streams Of Northern
Wisconsin.

Prof. L. S. Smith of the civil engine
erlng department., with a score of
assistants, is to make photographic
survey of the principal rivers of the
state of Wisconsin.
The survey consists OF systematic
St1dy OF the discharge of many of the
principal streams of the state and VIII
be carried on throughout term OF
three years. Its purpose is two-fold:
~ To determine the possible power of
development. ~ To determine the
water supply of the separate rivers.
incidentally it's purpose is to find the
relation or ratio between the amount
of rainfall on given water shed and
the run-off from the same.
GREAT COST OF SURVEY.
Gauges will be established on the
upper and lower courses of both the
Wisconsin and Fox rivers. A single
gauging station will be established on
each of the following rivers. Chippewa,
Black. Menomonee and possibly on
other important rivers. The amount
OF water flowing in these streams win
be actually measured every month and
the law of the stream determined.
The cost of the survey is paid OUT of
an appropriation of 50, ,500,OO0 by the
United States government for the
work Of the United States geological
survey. The work will be done under
direction of the Wisconsin Geological
and Natural History Survey, of which
Acting President Birge is Superinten-
dent.-The TOmahawk.

COMPLIMENTARY REMARKS
About Former Popular Well Known Wood
County Man.

From time to time during the last
dozen years we have chrOnicled some
of the notices ia the Medical Journals
with reference to our former towns
man DR.. Byron Robinson. who prac-
ticed in Wood county from 1882 to 1889.
There is no doubt that it will interest
DR.. RobinSon'S old acquaintance to
read the following complimentary
remarks from an editorial in the
american Medical Compend.'
THE DOCTORS PROMINENCE.
"No American physician is wider
known to the medical profession than
Dr. Byron Robinson. As the celebrat-
ed surgeon. DR., Christian Fenger, once
remarked: "Dr. RobinSOn'S researches
have made his name known wherever
scientific medicine is taught His
work is stamped with Il remarkable
originality. He has u genius for labor
and for the accomplishment of great
tasks. By persistent industry in ex-
perimental research he has indelibly
| fixed his name in the foremost rank in
gynecology and abdominal surgery. He
is rapid and Skillful operator. Pro-
fessor Sem says that Byron Robin
sons work on the histology and
surgery of the peritoneum is epoch
making.
OF the eight volumes of standard
medical books written by DR.. Robin
son, none will live longer than the one
on the Utero-Ovarian Artery, which is
illustrated by large, handsome charts.
The medical profession has honOred
DR.. Robinson by designating this
artery '"rhe Circle of Byron Robin
son." The utility of this arterial
circle will aid progress in the study
of clinical gynecology.
HIS ABLE PRODUCTIONS.
DR.. Robinson needs no introduction
to the medical profession as regards
the value of his productions. They
are dominated original, unique and
classic by the ableSt Of authors. He
is capable, enthusiastic and impress
sive clinical teacher. Prof. Lyman,
OF Rush Medical College, says that
DR.. Robinson is man of ability in
original research. Prof. Win. J.
Gillette, of Toledo, Ohio, reE, arked
in an address before the Lucas county
Medical Society: "There have lived
and worked here two men of genius.
l refer to DR.. J. H. Pooley and o DR..
Byron Robinson, now Of Chicago.
These men, without doubt, were the
strongest medical men who ever
resided within the borders OF our
|city. DR.. Byron Robinson started
experimental medicine in Toledo.
Many lives have been saved as the
result of his researches"
We are pleased to note that it was
in Toledo that DR.. Robinson wrote his
popular work on practical intestinal
surgery. By answering devotion to
his life work, unbounded enthusiasm
and energy, DR.. Byron Robinson has
become eminent in the medical profess
sion.
We cannot too strongly advise
Anatomists and especially Gynecolog-
lists and ObStetricians to study the
remarkable and valuable atlas on the
circle of DR.. Robinson"

Gently launched at the prison, and
whose issue, subject to the censor
ship of the warden, is solely in the
hands Of the convicts. Ten years
ago Holzhay startled the north west
10y IA series 'of hold4ups in northern
Wisconsin and Michigan, the cul-
mina:ion of!his daring career being
an attack upon a stage in which one
of the passengers was killed. For
this he was given ailife sentence. In
prison he made good his reputation
for daredevil courage by helding the
whole prison at bay with a knife
which he held over Ooe of the keep
ers, whom he used as a shield. He
vas not controlled until Warden
'Tompkins managed, 10y lucky shot
to knock the knife from his hand
with rifle ball, whica, carried some
of the fingers with it. That shot
seems to have been the turning point
in the life of the young convict.
Since then he has developed mar
velous thirst for knowledge and has
read everything 10 the prison library
as we'll as made q study of many of
the higher authorities which the Of
6eers Of the prison, interested in his

librarian he has prosecuted his

thoroughness and today is not only
