feet, thereby greatly increasing the
capacity of the reservoir.
Considering the capacity, certainty
of water supply and nearness to the
lands to be watered, this is by all
odds the best reservoir site in Elmore
county. At the 62 foot level it
reaches back distance of three miles
and has an average width of one and
one-quarter miles. Within its contour
lines lie the upper McGinniss, Cal
Schoff and Sam Blackwell ranches,
which xfli have to be purchased to
form part Of the reservoir site. With
these ranches will be included right
to $50 inches of the natural summer
flow of the creek. In diverting the
| flood waters of the other creeks to the
reservoir on Cold Springs there are
mo engineering problems. and indeed,
but little canal work to be done. as
already there is small ditch from
Bennett Creek to Cold Springs which
can be widened to great capacity at
small cost There is also small
diversion ditch from Alkali to Cold
/ Springs and supply canal from Can
yon creek to Alkali can easily be
made. No one familiar with the run
off of these creeks will dispute the
| fact that there is each year flood
water sufficient to fill the proposed
reservoir many times each season.
The only question remaining is that
of the capacity of the reservoir anc
the surveys now being made will as
certain this approximately. This
work is being directed personally by
F. H. King of Boise, one of the best
hydraulic engineers in the northwest
One feature of the proposed system
/ which finds great favor is the extreme
shortness of the main distributing

BY means of inverted syphon

SAD CASE OF DROWNING.
l. T. Osborne and Another Man Meet
Death by Being Carried Over Dam.

|
Mineral Point was shocked to no un
certain degree last Saturday morning
upon the announcement that Llewellyr
Osborne, formerly of this city, had met
death by accidental drowning.
The sad event occurred the evening
before, Friday, June 4, near Berlin,
this state. AS understood by the Tri-
bune three men-L. r. Osborne of Bar
aboo, Frank New of Prairie du Sac and
Chas. Sladeck of Sank City--started
after supper from Berlin in a gasoline
launch for Oshkosh via the Fox river.
When short distance out the boating
party by mistake veered into branch
stream and had not gone far when,
Without warning, they came in con-
tact with a dam. Strenuous efforts to
avoid being carried over the dam were
OF no avail The launch with its human
freight plunged, sideways it is stated,
down into the deep whirlpool less than
three feet below
Mr.. Sladeck, the only survivor of the
party. saved himself by taking hole of
the chain of the boat thereby prevent
ing the undercurrent from dragging
him down. Osborne and New were
pulled relentlessly under by the strong
undertow and held there. Shouts of
distress brought assistance to Sladeck.
A few hours after the body of Osborne
was found held tight against he bottom
of the dam by the action of the heavy,
whirling stream. News body was re-
covered next morning.
L. 7. Osborne was son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. II. T. Osborne, for many
years prominent residents of Mineral
Point From early childhood until
about 25 years of age this city was
Llewellyn's home. Since leaving here
he has been travelling salesman prac-
tically all the while, and at the time of
mis- drowning represented prominent
tea and coffee house of Chicago, He
was about as years Of age.
His brother, W. H. Osborne Of this
city, left Saturday morning for Berlin,
and he and smother brother, S. 7. Os-
borne, accompanied the remains hither
arriving here Monday at 2 p. M, g
gathering of Masons being present az
the depot The body was rested at the
home of Mrs. James Spensley, sister of
deceased.
The funeral took place the following
afternoon with services at the house
conducted by Rev. S. A. Bender, pas
tor of the M. f. church. Masons es-
corted by Sir Knights attended in a
body and rendered their beautiful burial
ceremony at the grave.
Knights Templar served as pallbear-
ers and were: I. W. English and f. g.
Marriott of Baraboo, w. r. Smith,
w. j. Penhallegon, f. Suthers and
H. S. We'll Of this city.
Deceased is survived by two brothers
and two sisters - S. T. Osborne of
Dodgeville, and w. H. Osborne, Mrs
Jas. Spensley and Mrs. Fred Vivian of
Mineral Point.

the beast is now right again.
One other difficulty has also been
overcome The Lapp herdsmen are

A Dead Level of Excellence.

which will have more than a tempo
