enters the gorge makes 1t possible to
take the water out Of the artificial
lake thus formed and carry 1t across
the table land and drop it down into
the swamp about 100 feet, making a
valuable Waterpower.
Other Details Of the Plan.
A small dam at the foot Of the gorge
creates lake covering about forty
acres and furnishes an unlimited
amount of water for use on all the
low land from the mouth Of Clam
river to Norway Point. BY extending
this with dixie at the foot Of the
bank a reservoir nearly seven miles
long is created. The water held back
by the lower dam and this reservoir
could be used on about 5000 acres.
From the upper dam water can be
taken in canal to the northwest and
an eighty-acre lake created for food
ing all the land north of the mouth of
Clam river. The lower dam Is not
needed if both tracts should be de-
veloped at the same time and flooded
from the upper dam.
South Of the tract already described

dows," some 10000 acres Of wet land

interest and cost Of picking and mar
keting the crop
Fire frost and insects are the three
things which harass the cranberry
grower. These can be overcome with
water, but If the water is not prop
erly handled it becomes as great an
evil as the enemy it is intended to
vanquish. In Massachusetts, and New
Jersey, where there is not the same
danger Of frosts that there is in Wis
consin and Minnesota, it is not neces-
sary to prepare a perfect water pro-
lection. The result is that in the
greatest cranberry districts In the
world the crop is not always q success.
Cranberry Culture.
Briefly stated, the care Of cranber-
ries, after reaching the full bearing
stage, is about as follows:
The marsh is flooded in the fall and
the water remains on the vines until
about May 10, thus holding back the
plant so that it will blossom early in
July. After the berry Is formed the
water supply should be SO arranged
that when there is danger Of frost
the marsh can be covered with water
in the evening and quickly uncovered

The great northwest has long been
known as the home Of many Of the
largest things on earth. 1t has the
largest grain fields, the largest mills,
the largest iron mines and the largest
state fair. It is now to become the
home Of the largest cultivated cram
berry marsh in the world. Not only
is 1t to be the largest, but the most
perfect marsh on a large scale in the
world.
RI Work has already begun. The
marsh is in Burnett county, Wiscon-
sin, and the area to be devoted to
cranberries exceeds 1900 acres. The
tract is along the east bank Of the st.
Croix, extending from Norway Point,
fifteen miles southeast Of Hinckley, to
near the mouth Of Crooked creek,
twenty miles east of Hinckley. 1t is

In the morning. Should insects at
any time attack the plant, the marsh
can be flooded and the insects foated
away.
The magnitude Of the enterprise
and the amount Of capital required to
push it thru to completion almost
stagger the expert cranberry men who
have examined the proposition. Were
1t not for the fact that a few acres
can be put under cultivation and the
rest delayed for any number Of years,
it is probable that 1t would be many
years before even a start would be
made. The completion Of a main
ditch across the big swamp will carry
off the spring water that now creates
the swamp and make 1t possible to
make the fields Of any size, thus per-
hitting a moderate start.

CHAPTER VIII.
A Morning of Disaster.

"Hello, Captainl"

Cape Disappointment life saving
station nestled beneath the rocks of the
cliffs that extended far out over the sea.
Many q mariner had met disappoint-

looked like a place of refuge from the
storm. But he who dared to trust it
had often been dashed to death against
it's walls.
Shaken and added, as it were, while

1t was the treac hery of its appearance
that gave name to the place. 1t was
the great loss of life that had caused
the government to establish life saw
ing station at the foot of the cliffs.
But the life savers had double duty
to perform. The purpose for which
they were originally placed there was
insignificant to the duty that later de-
yeloped. They we're provided by the
government to watch incoming vessels
and save the lives of ship wrecked sea-

placed along the top of the net at
proper distances to hold it in position
while sinkers carried the bottom of
the net deep into the water. The mesh

head. When once it entered the mesh
es the gills were fastened and the fish
held prisoner until removed by the
fishermen.
The traps, one Of which Rlngwold and
Sankala tended, were constructed diff
erently. A large figure was formed in
the shallow water by the driving of
piles. It represented heart and on
either side extended long wings. The
wings enclosed a semi-circle facing the
ocean and Immediately in the rear of
where they come together was the large
heart. A netting, called web, was
stretched along the piles from the sur
face of the water to the bottom of the
bay. By this means a perfect heart
with wings was perfected.
The valve of the heart opened i'm
mediately at the conjunction of the
wings. This was at the sharp point OF
the "V" which ia formed at the top
of the heart.
AS trap for fish it is a success
The salmon come up from the ocean
and enter the mouth of the river fresh
and strong. They run in great schools
and follow the shallow cha nels laying
their spawn as they go farther up the
| stream.
When the noses CT the fish strike the
web forming the wings of the heart
they follow the wings to the center
Here they find their way through the
opening into the heart. When once
into the heart their capture is com
plete. They circle about the place
passing the same apex of the hear
through which they entered without
ever discovering it as means Of escape
and are thus held as captives until tn
fishermen take them into their boats.
They sometimes enter these traps BY
the hundreds within "a hours. They
range in weight from five to 20 pound
and larger.
1t was such a trap as this that San
kala and Ringwold tended for old Sea
dog at wages barely sufficient to sus
tain them at best.
