INCREASES DEPTH
OF MORTON LAKE
Company Will Raise Spillway
to Retain Three Feet More
Water.

Plans are being made to raise the
Morton lake spillway, dredge out the
upper bottom OF the ten to fifteen inch
silt deposit and the change the current
SO that the mud will be carried into
deep water.
The Gaar bridge interferes with the
first plan of raising the spillway four
feet. 1t would be impossible for
launches with tops to go beyond the
bridge. A raise Of two feet or three
feet may be made.
1t will not be necessary to make
any changes in the dam If the spillway
height is increased. The water will
be let out Of the lake and the work
will take only short time.
The lake and park company has in
vestigated and found that the mud de-
post in the upper basin of the lake
Is caused by the check on current. BY
making the channel enter straight
into the lake, the mud would be car
ried below the bridge in high water.
In low water the river does not carry
mud.
Charles O. Parker. lessee of the
Hawkins bathing ponds, Is making
changes in the swimming pool. The
pool will be empty all winter so 1t will

News From Travellers
Protective Association
BY DECO, Post C Writer.

Brother Jim" Lewis who returned
from the East the other day, after a
flying business trip. brought with him
and posted in the Post club rooms
clipping taken from a New York news
paper Of October l, which gives some
inside information on that new auto
mobile Of Brother e. E. Lebo. The
New York newspaper carried on its
first page the following dispatch from
London. England:

Great Britain Is engaged had its eff
feet on the industrial situation in gen.
eral, but an incident has just taken
place in America which has had the
effect to dishearten one branch OF
British industry, that Of the auto
mobile manufacture. According to
official information it appears that in
the fall Of 1898, just sixteen years ago,
the then infant automobile industry
Of England was given a decided boost
by the announcement that Mr.. E. E:
Lebo, a citizen of the United States of
America, was contemplating the pur-
chase OF a machine, in fact had vir-
tually settled in his own mind that he
would purchase one and not only that
but he had given almost a definite
promise that his selection would be
an English car. Immediately the auto
industry of the British Isles picked up.
New companies were started. for II
the chance to land Lebo were given
them, the American field would I'M
mediately be opened up. During the
winter of 1S9S1S99, Mr.. Lebo wrote
for and received several tons of cata-
logs and other literature issued by
English concerns In his request for
such literature, however. Mr.. Lebo
was fair enough to say that he also
was receiving each day several hun
