''FISHWAY IN WAKEFIELD
DAM is A LAWFUL ONE
So Says Carlos Avery, Executive Agent
Of State Game and Fish
Commission.

The fishway in the dam which is
built across the Mississippi river,
seven miles east of Bemidji, is in
every way proper one, and your
citizens can rest assured that it is
correct, in every particular" said
Carlos Avery, executive agent of the
State Game and Fish commission,
who spent yesterday in Bemidji,
while returning to his home in St.
Paul from a visit to the Red lake
country.
Several local parties had expressed
the opinion that the fshway which
had been built in the dam, according
to specifications furnished by the U.
S. government officials, was not in
conformity to the state law regulating
such matters, and that fish could
not pass freely through the fshway.
In order to determine fully and
officially as to the fshway, S. c..
Bailey of this city, state game
warden for this district, took Mr..
Avery to the dam yesterday and had
the latter inspect the fshway. Mr..
Avery made thorough inspection of
the fshway and said:
The fishway in the Warfeld dam
is complete in every detail, and
complies fully with the requirements
of both the federal government and
the Minnesota State Game and Fish
commission. There is no obstruction
whatever to the fish moving freely
up and down stream at the dam,
and the type of fshway used there
is the best I ever saw"

The problem of proper regula
ton and control of the waterpower!
of the country is commanding the
attention of thinking men through
out the country" says Mr.. Ralph.
The state of Maine has gone
very extensively into the work ano
finds the question one of the most
important now confronting the PEG
pie of the state.
New York, Ohio, New Jersey,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Alabama,
Mississippi and many other states
are making, or have made, extensive
surveys of their water sources, and
in some of these states bills have
been passed creating commissions
which have been given full charge
of the regulations and control OF
the waters of their respective states,
these commissions being clothed
with powers similar to those of ou1
Railway and Warehouse commission.
The great benefit to be derived
from waterpowers in all of these
states will, in most instances, pay
the entire cost of the contemplated
improvements.
1t is estimated that fully 100000
horsepower can be developed on the
various streams of Minnesota. The
value of horsepower per annum
varies from $40 to $50, dependent
upon location. A conservative
estimate of the value of the water
power in Minnesota would be $50
per annum per horsepower. At this
estimated rate, 100000 horsepowe,
means a revenue of $1O,O0o,OOO pei
annum, provided the state owne
and controlled the power.
"There is no reason why the
state should not receive a fai,
revenue from all privately owned
waterpowers.
"In Europe, where there is
government control and regulation
the waters of all streams, such as
is proposed in Minnesota, tax is
exacted, ranging from 81 to 81. SC
per horsepower from the owners OIL
power plants.
"This problem is vital one tc
the people of Minnesota, and II
properly solved, the state should
receive sufficient revenue there.
from to not only create empound
ing reservoirs wherever practic
able, but to so improve the stream:
of the state, which are now sub
ject to overflow, that the grea
damages resulting from overfows
particularly along the Minnesota
river, could be prevented, and the
whole cost of performing the work
could be paid for out of the
revenues received from the water
powers.
The Drainage Commission il
also engaged in making a topograph
ical survey of the state, and thu
work is being done in cooperation
with Department of Geological Sur
vey at Washington. This is by fa1
the most important survey eve,
undertaken in the state. When it i
completed it will furnish groune
plans for almost any undertaking
and will be especially valuable il
future drainage work and cana
construction throughout the state.
From these maps and report
close estimate may be made Of tn
cost of any improvements of thi
nature.
This surely will assemble, i,
one comprehensive report, all tn
fragmentary surveys, such as tn
drainage survey of the Red Rive
Valley, made by Elliot; the topo
graphical survey of the state lands
made by myself, and other survey
of like nature, and will fill in part
of the state where no such surve
has been made"

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
IN SOUTHERN STATES

to be a big need for the product and
with that understanding blast iron
furnaces are being blown in right
along. Two furnaces were started up
during the last week of the past month
making four in all for the month to be
started up and one blown out for re-
pairs. Two furnaces have been light
ed this week already and not less than
two or three other iron makers In the
southern territory should be in oper-
alton before the end of the month.
Not only is there a healthy shipment
of the product from the southern terri
tory but the home consumption is
strong with prospects of a still better
need for iron.
"The cast iron pipe interests, the
steel interests and foundries and ma
chine shops are all reporting improved
conditions and by fall and the start
of winter the belief is expressed that
the southern manufacturers will have
their hands full producing the goods to
meet the demand. So far all orders
have been filled right on time. 1t is
necessary for double turn work to be
done at the steel rail mill for a while
to get out some product on orders that
command immediate attention.
"Pig iron quotations are. seeking a
higher level every week. No. 2 foun-
dry now holds at $13 per ton with
$3.50 being asked for small lots.
These prices are not being quoted for
iron to be delivered during the fourth
quarter of the year, in fact there has
not been a great quantity of iron sold
for the latter part of the year. A gen.
eral belief is held that the quotations
by the end of this week will be around
the $3.50 per ton mark with some in
terests selling at $14

Some of the iron and steel COM
panies in the southern territory have
plans in hand for some big develop

work on the same is likely to be
taken up in the very near futura.

men making the excavations prepara-
tory to laying the foundation for the
new annex to the city hospital un-
earthed a body in a remarkably well
preserved condition in a heavy metal
lie casket at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
A panic ensued among the negro
workmen when the body was found,
and it was with difficulty that suffi-
cient aid was secured to carry the
body to the death house.
A silver plated cross was fastened
on the lid of the caset, bearing the
following legend. "David Murphy,
aged 25 years, died November %,
1866" Despite its rest in the ground
almost 43 years the body was in a well
preserved condition. The shroud was
intact and the features well recOgniz-
able as that Of white man, although
the flesh had turned pitch black. The
hair had evidently grown considerably
since death occurred.
Other finds of human bones and bits
of wood from caskets have been made
since the excavation began, but this is
the only body found intact.
The site now occupied by the city
hospital was the old st. Peters cem-
etery in the early days of Memphis
and was sold to the city for the cree
tion of the hospital in 1896. In that
year over 5000 bodies were exhumed
and moved to other resting places. At
that time there were many unmarked
graves.
Timothy Divine, police patrol driver
of Capt John M. COUGHS relief, was
the foreman of the men who moved
the bodies. He states that hundreds
1f graves were unmarked and bodies
ocated by the means of sounds. 1t
S probable that many other bodies
ike Murphy's still rest in their old
,urying places and will probably new
,r be brought to light until a future
generation.
No other discoveries are anticipat-
ID, as the excavation for the founda-
ion of the new annex are about COM
lete.
No disposition of the body has as
ct been made. The hospital authori-
les are holding it for a day or two,
elatives of the dead man may bs
)und.
Numbers of people flocked to the
ospital yesterday in morbid curios-
Y to view the body.

sharp edge, one section of a suitable
stone and the size was apparently reg
ulated to the purpose for which it was
intended. Some of the axes exhibit
ed measure nearly foot across the
blade and others are no wider than
one inch.
A number of stone knives show that
the stone used by the natives for MAX
ing cutting implements could be made
to assume very sharp edge, and
from the many specimens of Gala
bashes, wooden spears and various ar
ticles of domestic use and warfare
possessed by the Hawaiians when
first discovered, showed that the in
struments for cutting might be rather
crude, yet, when in skillfl hands were
cpable of doing excellent service.
