WHAT WATER POWER HAS DONE
FOR SOME PLACES,

WHAT WAITER FOWEHi Has DON En-
.+=s r !. FOR SOME PLACES.
The following is from q letter Of b.
M. Britts Of Verndale, published II
the Motley Mercury:
"Having done nothing but improves {
water powers and build mills for 40
years, I ought to, and do know, the,
value of water power to Village or
city. The water Iower at Minneapolis !;
built up larger city than did the
head Of navigation and state capitol
at St. Paul. "
"A three hundred horse. power on
Rock river at GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin,
built as large city as did the capitol
Of the state at Madison, Wisconsin. A
200 rse-pcwer at Park Rapids. Min
nesota, has built as large a city as has
the county seat of Wadena. and has
done it in fifteen years less time, and
that too with Wadena far in the
lead as to railroads. Keep your eye on
Duluth and see what the big water
power will 60 there. Mark my word it
will double the population in ten
years.
I have never measured the cubic
feet Of water In the Crow Wing at
Motley, but think q ten foot head
would give from eight hundred to ten
hundred horsepower My reason for
thinking SO is from improvements al
ready made on several of the streams,
SO to rs mics above Motley, that make
the Crow Wing river.
II give you here list of the rivers
now improved with horse power:
Park River at Park Rapids, eco horse q
power, Straight River at Usage 60
horse power, Long Lake River at
Hubbard 60 horse power, Wing River
at Verndale leo, Leaf River four
miles north of Verndale net improved
but a third larger than the Wing
River at Verndale. Crow Wing 103 at
tire mouth of Shell River is larger
than Park River at Park Rapids, 200;
Cat, Red Eye ard Aldrich streams
are good for 81 horse power. The to-
tai horse power from these streams
would be about 500. All the above
streams will increase fully one-fou1th
in cubic feet from when they are i'm
proved by the time they reach Mot

showing that Mueller was either insane

state on the night Of the tragedy, was
given by Patrolman John Blalk, who
was the first person to arrive at the
