Water Powers OF Northern Wis
cOnsin.

In: no State are water powers
destined to be OF greater import
ance than in Wisconsin. The de-
veloped water power has increased
from 33, 700 horsepower in 1870 to
1000 horsepower in 1900, but SO
far as known on no important river
in the state has all the available
power been developed. In a paper
by L. S. Smith, Just issued by the
United States Geological Survey as
Water Supply and Irrigation Paper
No. 156, are discussed the developed
and undeveloped water powers in
the drainage basins of Fox. Menomi-
nee, Peshtigo, Oconto, Wolf, Wis
consin, Black, Chippewa, aid ST.
Croix rivers, and on the streams
tributary to Lake Superior. This
report, which may be obtained on
application to the Director of the
United States Geological Survey,
Washington, D. c., con tains pro
files of all streams that have been
surveyed, all available informal ton
regarding stream flow, and descrip-
lions of conditions at points where
power is developed or available.
The United States Geological Sur
vey is now making additional sur
veys of streams in cooperation with
the State of Wisconsin, This work
is in charge OF Professor L. S.
Smith of the University of Wiscon-
sin. During the present fiscal year
the State of Wisconsin and the
united States Geological Survey
have each allotted ST. $50 to this
work. This work is being pushed
as rapidly as the available funds
permit, and its extension will de-
pend upon further cooperation and
appropriations by the State of Wis
consin.

A Popular Welsh Drink.

All the Welsh counties swear by a
drink called sowbeer. 1t is made from
fourteen different field herbs, is harm
less, except for it's sleepy effects, and
resembles treaclle more than anything.
The Welsh villagers always smoke a
thin cigarette Of dried sage when they
drink sowbeer. The stuff is too COM
plicated a mixture for the villagers to
brew, but in all the larger towns there
are dealers who make it.-London Tele-

Atlantic and Pacific oceans, destined

sufficient There would be patronage

A mysterious flow of money seems

this season is the biggest ever. The

In every store the ribbon counter Is
