The Bureau of Insular Affairs OF
the War Department in its review
and final audit of the finances of the
Philippine Government has definitely
fixed the loss sustained by the Insulai
Treasury up to June 80, 1903, due to
6uctuating value of the silver cur
rency in general circulation in the is
lands until recent date at 81 ,294, ,0S9
This loss to the Insular Governmen
was brought about largely by the fact
that when silver was dear Mexicans
were almost exclusively offered foi
payment of Government dues, but
when silver was cheap and the Mexi-
cans overhauled, comparatively little
was offered in payment of dues, and
creditors of the government sough
by every means possible to obtain set
tlement by the government in Mexi-
can money. In this war silver money
would be taken in at high rate Of
exchange to gold and paid out at a
much lower rate than received.

TO RAISE WATER
Scheme to Help t0ut the
Crow Wing County
Lakes III

Interest has been revived In pro-
ject which found root in this vicinity
some tsn years ago. and which had
to do With raising the waters in Gull
and other lakes in this vicinity, says
Brainerd telegram to tho Mime
apoli4 journal.
The waters in all the lakes are low
and the scheme is to have congress do
something to keep the lakes up so that
they will be navigable from one to
another. The same project which
came before congress years ago is be-
ing seriously considered, only on a
smaller scale.
About ten years age two surveys
we're taken. one being for 6-foot
raise and the other for an 8-foot,
which would affect the following
bodies Of water: Gull, Round, Long,
Gladstone, Upper Gull, Wilson. Up
per Fish trap, Lower Fish Trap,
Edney, Fitzpatrick and Sylvan lakes.
The idea in the first place was to
cut canal from the Crow Wing river
to Sylvan lake and then build a dam
across the Crow Wing, thus turning
the water from the Grow Wing into a
canal for the purpose OF raising the
lakes.
The projectors secured an appropria-
ton from congress of $50, 900, and this
was but the beginning of gigantic
scheme to put in complete system of
dams and canals, so that the water in
the lakes and rivers could be con-
trolled and manipulated TO the con-
venience and profit of the lum Dermen.
The total cost at that time was fig.
ured out at 81, 500, 900.
Persons along the proposed route
became scared and a signed protest
was sent Congressman Morris. A COM
mission was then appointed by con-
gress, of which Senator Nelson was
chairman, to look into the feast bility
of the scheme. It made an unfavor-
able report and the appropriation of
$50, 900 was turned into the war de-
partment.
F. g. Lynch Of st. Paul has some
property in the vicinity of Gull lake
and has interested Congressman Stew
ems, and it is expected something
will be done at the coming session Of
congress. It is understood that the
scheme is also prompted by the fact
that many undesirables have settled
on the land which was condemned
years ago. Not all of these settlers are
in this category, but there Is gang
which, it is understood, rules with
high hand. They do not till the soil,
but fish and hunt to suit their own
convenience, in many instances DEFY
ing the law.
