Fox River at Lowest Ebb.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 1O.-Water in
the Fox river is at lower stage now
than it has been in recent years and
navigation for boats drawing more
than two feet of water is almost i'm
possible. Paper mills and other man
ufacturing plants have been obliged
to discontinue water power and have
all resorted to their auxiliary steam
power plants. One cause is the fact
that the fiushboards have been re-
moved by government order from the
head-water dam at Menasha Millions
of gallons have been allowed TO flow
to waste since the removal of the
boards.
