NEW YORK, July 10-A ghost from

GRAND RAPIDS, MIMI, July 10.
The question of the wisdom of the
government longer maintaining dams
for the storage of water on the upper
Mississippi is again up for discussion
in this section. Every year there is
objection raised to the closing down Of
Pokegama dam in the spring, as this
action always mandates meadows and
fields for long distance up stream.
Settlers along the river from Co.
hasset westward have set forth their
grievances to the secretary of war,
explaining that the holding back of
this water near the headwaters of the
big stream is of no value in prevent
ing floods farther down.
Paper mills and other industrial en-
terprises dependent wholly or partly
on waterpower on the upper river have
also Joined in asking that the dam at
Pokegama falls be abandoned. The
Grand Rapids dam now backs the
water up to within two feet of the
level of the upper stream and they
maintain that the releasing OF this
amount would be of great benfit to
them, while having no effect on the
supply on the lower stretches of the
river.
