The paper mills in the vicinity of
Grand Rapids, Wis.,, have shut down
awaiting supply of water with which
to resume business. Owing to the
summer resort interests at the head
waters of the Wisconsin, located on
the reservoirs, the water cannot be
lowered in these storage bodies. The
state forestry department maintains a
certain minimum level in these reser-
yoirs or lakes to insure constant
summer resort business for the north
ern part of the state. The industries
on the river below are permitted to
drain the level of these lakes in the
winter months. The scarcity of wa
ter is throwing many men out of en-
ployment. Laborers are seeking work
at almost any wage to tide them over
the dry spell.

ably received by all cities concerned

could not be, more wisely spent, and
that an economic use of it would re-
suit in the finest auto road in the
country. Letters have been sent to
the clubs of all cities along the road
to get an expression of the feeling on
the proposed plan and so far enthu-
siastic support has been pledged.

| torville as a result of the special elec-
ton July IL on the question of remov-
ing the court house from Mantorville
to Dodge Center. The balloting show
ed 1,572 for Mantorville and 1885 for
Dodge Center. The largest vote ever

out by big bakers, who by buying theil
ingredients in large quantities will BIZ
