1lere seems to be little doubt that the

MISSOURI HELPED BUILD
FINE ARTIFICIAL AXE

Chamberlain. s. D, Sept. 2s.-To
construct an artificial lake, one mile
long. an eighth of a mile wide, with
fine sandy bottom and beach slipping TO
10 feet in depth, appears like a huge
undertaking, but with the help of the
Missouri river it has been accom-
plished here in a short time and the
people of Chamberlain now have one
OF the finest boating and bathing re-
sorts in the country.
American island is q heavily wooded
tract lying in the Missouri river op-
posite Chamberlain. 1t was ceded to
the city by the government for park
purposes. On the farther side the
lesser channel was crossed by the
Milwaukee railroad with a Ions
trestie. Some time ago the railroad
company secured permission to build
q dam and driveway along this ~trestle,
thus closing the channel and diverting
the water into the main channel nearer
the city.
Above this dam the lake formed, the
turgid water settled, and the shores of
American Island park are now washed
by q pretty channel lake, less in ex-
tent but similar to McCook and Crystal
lakes, near Sioux City.
