Cram came into the region by way Of
the Menominee and Brule rivers TO
Lake Brule, where he commenced his
operations.
Captain Cram worked on the sur
vey two seasons. From a synopsis of
his report to the department 1t APP
pears that his conclusion was that
there was not to be found in nature
any conditions of a natural boundary
between the head waters of the Mont
real and Menominee rivers. and, there
fore, it became necessary to make a
delineation of the country between
those head waters and along the in
tended route of the boundary.
Accordingly, the survey was COM
menced from the Lake of the Desert
and continued westward. When within
distance of some twenty miles he
came to a river two rods in width,
which he thought might be the Mont
real, and. carrying the survey to its
mouth, found that the Ontonagon had
been reached, and that the Montreal
must be many miles to the westward.
Continuing the survey westward for
thirty miles or more, a good-sized
stream was intersected which Mr.. Can
non says was the east branch of the
Montreal river, but which he deemed
to be the real Montreal river, the OBJ
iect of his quest.
Making some examinations of the re-
gion in the vicinity he selected the
confluence of two streams for the
terminal point of the boundary survey
at a place on the east branch, where
a small stream which he named the
Balsam river came in from the east
while the main river to its source, six
miles further soulh, was called Pine
river, and the lake from which it issues

Curious BOundarS Dispute Between

The project to appoint joint COM
mission of the States of Michigan and
Wisconsin to examine into and correct
what is declared to be an engineers
error In marking the boundaries of the
two States slxty-slx years ago Is up
again. Peter White is interested in
the matter and wants the Legislature
to vest him with authority to try
and secure the consent of the Wiscon-
sin Legislature for commission.
George II. Cannon, a retired sur
veyor, now In his eighty-first year, liv-
Ing on a farm near the village of
Washington, in Macomb County, who
spent the ten years from 1850 to 1860
On government surveys In the upper
peninsula, has given the subject a good
deal of consideration, and he is con-
vinced that because Of the error in the
original government boundary survey
there are now in Wisconsin about 600
square miles, including some prosper
Gus towns and villages, that rightfully
belong to Michigan. He wrote all ex-
haustive paper to show that the sur
yeyor took wrong terminal In rum

States and the mistake has never been
corrected. This paper Is printed In
volume 80 of the State Pioneer Soci-

facts are cleaned:
Congress In 1888 authorized the
boundary survey. Michigan had been
admitted as a State; Wisconsin was
still a Territory. In 1910 Captain
Gram, of the typographical engineers,
was assigned by the War Department
to Nhe work. Little was known of the
region, so his instructions were neces-
sarily somewhat vague. In general

CAUSES OF GREAT FLOODS.

Destruction of Forests Leaves HILL
sides Unprotected Against Rains.
Upon these forests three foes are con-
small farmer, who, crowded from the
rich valleys, is endeayoring to hew for
himself and his dependents a living
out of the mountain side. To do this
he clears a space, farms it in rude
fashion and In from five to twenty
years exhausts it. He now moves up
the mountain side and repeats the pro-
cess. Erosion follows his operations
and the land becomes a series of worth
less cutters.
Next may be mentioned the profess
sional woodcutters, including tanbark
men, pulpmen and lumberers. The first
seek only the bark, but, like the hun
ter of famingoes' tongues or buffalo
hides, they leave behind them to rot
after collecting their tribute huge
but worthless residue. The PULLMAN
cuts clean, good, bad large, small, old
and young, thus makil.g natural re-
production of the forest impossible.
The lumberman takes what he wants,
much or little, but by methods that
destroy almost as much as he takes
and practically insure fires, which com
plete the work of denudation. Having
conquered and burned Carthage, ScipiO
passed the pillow through its site.
The corresponding final touch is
given to the deforested mountain slopes
by the rains While the forest remains
these regulate the runoff, holding back
the water, passing it into the under
ground circulation and insuring
throughout the year a substantially
equal stream flow, greatly TO the adj
vantage of agriculture, commerce,
manufactures and all other interests
concerned.
But the forests gone and the very
sofia vegetable mold-eaten away by
the flames, this conservative influence
no longer operates. Torrents now rush
down the mountain sides, filling
streams and harbors, producing over
flows denuding farms of their soils
or burylng them with sand, destroying
water powers and sweeping away rail-
roads, bridges, factories, houses, even
villages.
In this way, as by the Pacolet dis
aster, property valued at S4,5O0,000
has been destroyed in a single day,
while, as In 1901-1902, $1s,000,O0O has
been carried away in year. The con-
tiruation Of this process means, as in
vast areas in the old world, the rapid
transformation of the region affected

stops Gifts to Railroads.

The last official act of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou. before he went to take up
his new duties as Secretary Of the Treas
ury. was to abolish the system by which
the railroads have profted S5.000,000 a
year, namely. by adopting the reformed
system of weighing the mails, which had
been unsuccessfully advocated in Con-
gress. Under this plan the actual num-
Der OF days the mails are carried will be
used as the divisor in determining the
average weight carried in a day. This
was something of a shock to the railroad
lobbyists who had labored so hard to de-
feat the same measure before Congress,
and there is some talk Of resisting the or
der in the courts
