SMALLLAKES INADEQUATE
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CONDEMNS
PLAN TO PRODUCE HUMIDITY
BY DIGGING WELLS.
N The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building.
Washington.
Washington, March 22-South Dakota
men, thru petitions. have been Emporium
ing Uncle Sam to dig artesian wells on
the margins Of a number Of lakes which
Of late years have been dry in summer.
Their theory is that the influence Of
large bodies Of water upon the humidity
Of the air; and on the vegetation on the
leeward side of the lakes, will go far to
prevent the destruction Of crops by hot
winds. E& %EE
Experts of the geological survey agree
that the beneficial results would be en-
tirely incommensurate with the cost Of in
stalling the wells required to fill the lakes.
From small artificial bodies OF water the
effects would be too small to be deter
mined.
The best available example Of such
effect is shown by the records Of the
weather bureau stations on opposite sides
Of Lake Michigan, and in the region OF
the prevailing westerly drift of the atmos-
phere.
During the colder months Of the year
the effect Of the lake Is quite perceptible
upon tho temperature, the relative humid
ity and absolute amount Of moisture In
the atmosphere at Grand Haven on the
leeward SIDE as compared with similar
values at Milwaukee on the windward
side; but as summer approaches the con-
ditions are reversed, and the Milwaukee
records. despite the continuance Of west
erly winds, show greater amount OF
moisture than the Grand Haven records.
The effect of the evaporation from the
small lakes on the humidity Of the air Is
very slight. There is no evidence to show
that crops on the north side Of these
lakes suffer less than others by reason Of
any protection afforded them by the lakes
The proper conclusion in cases where
crops on the north side have suffered less
| than others is that the soil and the plant
were in better condition.

.DISMANTLE THE
LOWER PUMPS
IMPROVEMENT LEAGUES DE-
MAND OF CITY COUNCIL.
It Is Presented to Water Works Conn
mittee This Afternoon-The Cam
paign for Pure Water in City Has
just Begun, Say the Women OF the
Pure Water Committee.

,Peremptory demands for the per-
manent abandonment of the two lower
pumping stations were made by the
pure water" committee Of the I'M
provement league before the water
works committee Of the city council
this afternoon. The ladies made 1t
plain to the aldermen composing the
committee that the campaign for pure
water had only just begun. It was
not an ephemeral agitation, that would
soon be forgotten, but crusade that
would be carried on until pure water
for all was fact. Headquarters had
been obtained and interest was grow
ing.
At present the league, which has
the moral support of the citizens gen.
orally, demands that the two lower
pumping stations be completely dis
mantled and rendered useless for
pumping.
The members of the league have
no faith whatever in the statements
that reservoir water is safe. They ar
que that such statements are wholly
refuted by the vital statistics Of Min
neapolis as compared with st. Paul
for the past twelve years.

The Montana commissioners have
