Storm Over Wide Area.

The storm was central over northern
Wisconsin. From Janesville reports
came OF heavy damage by wind and
rain.
Although no reports Of marine dis
asters have come to life-saving stations
along Lake Michigan, 1t is feared that
the suddenness Of the storm on the lake
may have caused distress to shipping.
Many telegraph and telephone wires
were blown down or crossed. and COM
munication by that means was badly
demoraifxed for several hours along
Lake Michigan. rss,
Yesterday, was one Of the most un-
comfortable days experienced by Chi
cagoans in years. owing to the excessive
humidity In the air.
It was announced at the weather
bureau that the humidity was from s
to 10 per cent higher during the day
than the average relative humidity in
August for the last six years.

MAY dam THE
RED RIVER

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 25.-Un-
less there are exceedingly heavy falls
of rain over the Red River valley be-
tween now and the tin1e that the
rivers freeze up, Grand Forks will
have to make extra provisions for q
supply of water during the coming
winter. The river at its present stage
will freeze solid and there will be alb.
solutely no flow, so that the serious
ness of the situation is readily recog.
nized.
Already a number of citizens are
interesting themselves in the ques-
ton and one of the plans proposed is
that Of creating dam across the
Red Lake river just below the intake
pipe. This dam would have to be put
in place at an early date and would
insure a water supply for the entire
season.
AS to the details of the proposed
work, these are very uncertain. The
general plan that is urged by those
interested is to build large crib the
width of the river, filling it with rock
and sinking it to create the dam. 1t
would cost $1,000 to do the work. ~'''
Mayor Murphy admitted that the
city would have to take some action
on the question if rain in abundance
was not had before the freezing up
time, but he believed that there was
sufficient time left yet in which to get
ready for the winter If it is found
that rain is not to be had.

the schools must depend in the future
as in the past, upon the character ant
efficiency of the teachers. The pro
fession of teaching should. therefore
attract men and women to the highest
intellectual attachments, broadcast cul
ture, most thorough training, and LOTT
est ideals, to this end the salaries
paid American teachers should be
commensurate with salaries paid ir
other professions and in commercial
and industrial pursuits.

citation appeals to the nation and to
the states for more liberal appropri-
ations for educational purposes IN
order that this additional work in agri-
culture, in the trades and industries,
and in home economics may be effec-
lively undertaken.
6. No country that is physically
weak or physically diseased can attain
it's possible greatness. All efforts,
therefore, to make the condition of
our educational plants more sanitary
and to impress upon the minds of the
children and the citizens of the nation
the importance of the proper observ-
ance of the laws of health-public and
individual-should receive the support
and hearty cooperation of American
teachers.
Z. The abuses attending the employ
ment of children in industrial yoccu-
pations tend to limit their educational
opportunities, and this Association,
therefore, endorses all such wise and
humane legislation as shall make pos
sible the broadcast development of all
the children.

Der scoring Of the five months state
creamery butter contest, which is be-
Ing carried on in North Dakota this
summer by State Dairy Commissioner
Flint, was done in Fargo this morn
ing. Owing to the fact that the wealth

there has been a slight falling off in
quality noticed in this months ex-

The scoring was done by Assistant

and Prof. G. L. Martin of the North

move to run some of the cars on Third

with the Tri-City Railway company
nor is it known that the company
favors the plan. The company would
seem to prefer to go where the bust
ness now is, with as little additional
expense as possible. 1t has made no
haste to rebuild it's Third avenue line
SO far despite the fact that it has been
repeatedly urged to do so. 1t has up
to the present moment maintained
partially used tracks there, merely
in order to keep a franchise on that
street. What Third avenue business
interests want is a double track sys-
tenn through the avenue, that will re-
quire the running of cars over it, and
thus develop more business than is
now carried on there. Wherever
modern street cars run. there business
develops and grows. That is the his
tory OF all cities.
And Third avenue can develop and
grow without disparagemento of Second
avenue.
