only temporary effect upon the mar

TO IMPROVE RIVER.

Des Moines Tribune: Storm Lake
will be made into a reservoir TO supply
the Des Moines river with water dur
ing the low stage periods. if the
plans of government engineers are
carried out,
A. o. Rowse, chief OF the Des
Moines river survey, has been max
ing a close inspection of all the lake
beds in different parts OF the state.
In order to secure proper amount
Of water an area OF 100000 square
feet is needed. .......
The inspection made by Mr.. Rowse
up until the present time developed
that Storm Lake has the sufficient
area and this is the body of water
that will probably be selected, if the
big preface materializes. If the lake
is chosen by the government it will
bG purchased.
According TO the engineers who
have gone over the problem, Storm
Lake will supply fine flow of water
for ninety days at time, increasing
the flow of the Des Moines river from
sixty to seventy per cent
The water from the lake would be
run through a canal to the river. In
the canal would be a system OF locks
and gates that would control the flow
during the high water periods when
the river did not need the extra sup
ply of water.
The increased supply of water in
the river bed would greatly increase
the value of the stream in Iowa for
commercial interests and in making
it a navigable stream. Not only
would the stream be used for shipping
purposes, but the water would be
cold. pure lake water.
The clean lake water in the bed of
the river would also mean better and
more fish for the stream.
