unrest in this country and one is pros

everything is booming people begin to

the other fellow and demand divis-
ion of the profits irrespective Of re-
suits. In the days of adversely people
think something is wrong and they
proceed to investigate the cause. In
either case the government is held
responsible. and demagogues take ad-
vantage of the state of the public
mind and are forced to the front with
amazing energy. 1t is surprising how
restless we get under circumstances

vey at which time they will also re-
port and give opinions as to the seri-
Gus problem of the lake falling so rap
idly since the record of the levels have
been kept
The exceedingly low water Of Dew
lis Lake at present, and the constant
lowering of the water of Devils lake
year after year is causing fear that
this, the largest lake in North Dakota
will, within few years, become dry.
According to the report of the bureau
of fisheries, which made thorough in
vestigation of the lake in 1907, the lake
is at present 143 feet from a beach
mark which was established in 1888,
at the shore of the lake, and is rapid
ly falling, having fallen one-half foot
during the time they were making
their observations, a period of seven
weeks.
Within twenty-five years the lake
has fallen ten feet and has f1uctuated
four feet under the changes of the
weather, and is at the present time at
the lowest stage ever known. 1t was
the opinion Of the bureau Of fisheries
that this constant fall was due to
great extent to the fact that the coun-
try was cultivated, and that such cult
walton took up the rapid evaporation
Of the lake.
In sounding the lake it was found
that the deepest place in the lake was
twenty-five feet, while large areas of
the lake averaged but six or eight feet
and other portions we're not navigable
even with launch.
