CORRESPONDENCE.
WHITE SALMON.
From the Enterprise.

VIM. Boygue moved his family out
to the homestead last Monday. 1t
wasn't the most pleasant day in the
world to move but, Bill has to be do
ing something and if the weather is
too bad to work be moves.
In two years from today there will
be a population OF 900 people in
White Salmon. That is our predic-
tion and we believe that 1t is con-
servative estimate, especially for a
newspaper. But the way things are
going now and the way the country
is being settled up and opened to cul-
tivation, leaves no doubt but things
will be moving some during the next
couple of years.
Mr.. L. l.. Iverson, of South Dako-
ia, was ia town the other day and
was so we'll pleased with the place
that he decided to locate here perma
nently. lie rented one halt of the
Knutson building and will put in
stock OF general merchandise. He is
a man of some means aud has had y
years experience in the business.
Thus they come, and thus it is seen
that every building put mp in White
Salmon is rented before it is finished.
With all the new buildings put up in
town this year there il not one now
for rent, and there will not be when
the buildings now in course of con.
struction are finished.

companies are supposed to do good

Costa Ricans had ground for seizing

That colored gentleman should be
placed on the roll of fame as the cham
pion officeholder. Under President Sol
omon, former Duke of Limonade, he
held the offices of Minister of State,
Minister of War, Minister of Marine,
struction, Judge of the Supreme Court,
General of Corps and Commander-in-
Chief of the Guard Civil, General of the
ACCOMPLISHMENT of Logane, and Minister
of Internal Affairs and Agriculture. He
drew the salaries and perquisites of all
these offices, and had only to make a
divide with the President. OF late years
foreign nations, and the United States
especially, have shown the Haitians
that they cannot do as they please, for
they were becoming overbearing to-
wards other nations. 1t will be re-
membered that in the '70's, when Presi-
dent Grant was desirous of purchasing
coaling station in Samana Bay, the
Haitians refused to allow the United
States Commission, of which Senator
Ben Wade was Chairman, to pass
through their Republic. President
Sagat spoke defiantly regarding the
United States, and almost threatened
to make war on 1t and wipe it up. He
said in his address: "The citizens OF

Captain Merriman was born In Som

were spent in working on the farm and
attending school,. The education he re-

much hard work.
' At the age Of % he began the study
in 1854, after which he came west from
Gouvernour, N. Y, locating in James

Janesville he came to the Falls Of St.

man. .'.

Two Great Northern freight trains,
backing in opposite directions, crashed
into each other On parallel tracks at
Fifth avenue and Division street Sc
yesterday. The trains were switching
and were passing when defective frog
in the crossing caused the front trucks
Of a heavily-loaded lumber car to leave
the rails. The car cut in across the
tracks and collided with the passing
train with sufficient force to derail nine
cars and smash them badly.
No one was hurt in the collision, but
many narrowly escaped being caught.
The watchman was In the shanty be-
side the track and one Of the cars was
overturned and hurled against the
shanty. The switchman succeeded in
crawling out the door without injury
altho the house was badly crushed
Traffic was held up until late in the

Chain for Boating.

Under the present conditions none
of the park lakes are extensive enough
to warrant the maintenance of launches,
but if the three park lakes, Lake Har-
riet. Lake Calhoun and Lake Of the
isles, together with Cedar lake, could
be connected with boat channels the
opportunities for boating would be
more than quadrupled.
Minnehaha falls in dry seasons is a
sorry spectacle. Under extreme con
ditions it has been necessary to dam
the waters Of the creek and open the
gates whenever visitors appeared. It
has been one of the cherished plans of
the park commissioners to devise means
OF securing an adequate supply Of water
to make the falls presentable at all
times.
Both these ends can be served by
sending the water of Bassett's creek
into the chain Of park lakes and thence
into Minnehaha creek.
The plan is simple. Medicine lake
is the source. Of Bassett g creek. Be-
tween. Medicine lake and Cedar lake
there is fall Of thirty-one feet. Much
OF the land is swampy and in wet sea.
sons the land is flooded because the
water cannot get away fast enough.
By cutting a canal from Medicine lake
to Cedar, this low land will be drained
and the waters of Bassett's creek di-
verted. Under present conditions, the
difference between high and low water
is five feet. With a diversion canal
and proper means of regulation, the diff
ference between high and low water
can be reduced to eighteen inches,
which would benefit all the land af.
fected by water.

Steady Flow Of Water.

By proper study of the conditions
at the park lakes, and a comprehensive
system of dams with movable weirs, the
park lakes would not only serve for the
storage Of water and the prevention Of
foods, but would enable the park au-
thorities to secure a uniform flow of
water into Minnehaha creek at all
times. .< ~. =
Some attention must be given to Min
nehaha creek. In some places this
stream is sluggish and in others rapid.
It is represented by engineers that the
channel can be deepened and widened
SO as to accelerate the average speed
of the current, and that without en-
dangering the natural beauty Of the
stream. The carrying, capacity of the
stream. it is understood, can be doubled
without any difficulty.
The diversion canal would result not
only in the reclamation of much valu-
able land, but would be Of sanitary
value to the western part Of the city,
and would tend to reduce the danger

UNRIvALED CHAIN OF
LAKES FOR PARK PLAN
BASSETT'S CREEK DIVERSION
PLAN HAS MANY SUPPORTERS.
Commercial and Improvement organiza-
tions Back Of Project for Linking
Park Lakes with Canals and Turning
the Stream Of Many vagaries into
Minnehaha Creek.

Minneapolis has within its reach an
attractive park scheme at a compar-
atively moderate expense. This is the
much-mooted plan of diverting Bas-
sett's creek into Cedar lake, connecting
the chain Of lakes by system Of can
ais of sufficient depth for navigation
and providing Minnehaha falls with an
unfailing source of water supply.
The project is being promoted by a.
large committee appointed from the fol-
lowing organizations:
The Minneapolis Real Estate board,
Linden Hills Improvement association,
st: Anthony Commercial club, South
side Commercial club, Northside Com
mercial club, the West End, Minnehaha,
Lake of the Isles. Western Avenue,
Bryn Mawr, Oak Park, Calhoun and
Greenview Improvement associations.
This array Of civic organizations be-
hind the movement is expected to in
sure it's fulflment in the near future.
The reports Of the city engineer and
others who have made surveys have
shown that the plan is feasible. The
cost, it is understood, will be in the
neighborhood Of $150,OOO, including the
expense Of various bridges.
