NIANTRAP1 LAKES IN DANGER
49, a.'c , 1---..-t: ~ a54s=5-.s4
Attempt rs Made to Lower Level Of
Chain of Beautiful Waters.

CAsS LAKE, MINN.-An attempt was made
to lower the level Of Elbow lake and the other
in Hubbard county the first of the week. but
was stopped before it could be carried out.
The Elbow, or Mantrap. chain Of lakes has an
elevation of about forty five feet above the level
of the Crow Wing chain Of lakes, altho there is
a distance Of only eighty rods between the two
lake systems at the nearest point. A narrow
ridge that can be easily cut thru, holds back
the waters of the upper system. The lakes
have no visible inlet or outlet and their level
remains always the same. The waters are as
clear as crystal and teeming with the choicest
fish.
What the result would have been had the
ridge dividing the two systems of lakes been
cut thru cannot be determined but, In all prob
ability; several dams on the Grow Wing river
would have been taken out by the rush of water.
Some are inclined to the opinion that the level
of the lakes would have been lowered only
three or four feet. while others believe that
the water, If not controlled, would eventually
cut down the ridge from fifteen to twenty feet
and destroy the beauty of Elbow lake and great
ly damage the summer resorts there.
That some valuable land could be developed
by lowering some of these lakes is not disputed,
! and such plan might result in some benefit to
the settlers Of the townships in which lakes
are located. but the manner Of procedure left
the persons concerned liable to legal proceedings
