To Save Wisconsin's Water Power.

Madison. June 1910 conserve Il to-
tai Of 100000 horsepower from Wis
cOnsin streams and turn this enormous
force to practical uses is the problem
which is now being attacked in earn
est In this state. Plans are on foot to
establish the greatest system of pri-
vate reservoirs in the world.
The present Wisconsin river valley
reservoirs, with AGO miles Of shore
line, are to be copied on the Wolf riv-
err, where an artificial lake thirty
miles long will be formed. The pur-
pose of these engineering works is to
provide Il uniform flow of water for
mills down stream. so that the drought
OF summer may not force the suspen-
sion of important industries.
The Wisconsin Valley Improvement
company aims to close up the reser-
voirs during freshets to accumulate
water to the extent of their capacity
and prevent floods on the lower river,
TO release the stored water as needed
and incidentally 20 help navigation.
While the commercial value Of this
system is enormous. the reservoir
chain has helped to make upper Wis
consin one Of the great summer resort
regions in America. There is one
stretch Of thirty miles of lake and
river available for power boats. Where
there are dams to hold back the waters
of the lake, marine railways have been
put in to carry power boats of thirty
feet ove the dams to deep water on
the other side.
The water area of this district is
very large. In the county of Villas
there is more water than land, and the
! proposed state forest reserve of 1900
600 acres. now being developed, with
a third Of the area already under on
troll, includes owe 1,2OO separate lakes.
