HAS MESSAGE
FOR BARAb0O

Professor L. S. Smith, who is at Dew
lls Lake with over thirty engineering
students from the University of Wis
consln for the customary summer sur
veylng work, was in Baraboo today and
states that his boys are now measuring
the amount of water flowing in the
Baraboo river. The experiments are
being conducted three miles below the
city and the amount of floware has
been found to be about two hundred
cubic feet per second. Two measure
ments are being conducted each dav
the students being conveyed from the
lake to the river in large motor bus.
Certain proposed roads at Devils Lake
are also being surveyed by the young
men at the request of the state park
board and it is hoped that those roads
which will add Ito the attractiveness
and conveniences at the lake will
become reality.
Professor Smith has made study of
city planning, devoting considerable tins
to the subject when in Europe two
years ago and has message for Bsrs-
boo which he will probably convey to
the people here in the not distant flu
ture. He today looked over the pro-
posed plans for the identifying of the
city and his advice on the subject will
be of great value. Professor Smith has
given lectures all over the state on the
improvement of cities, q recent one be-
ing delivered at Pepin on the Missis-
sippi river. Here he told the citizens
how to put the "Pep" in Pepin and
many of his suggestions were adopted
with fine results,

more visitors than ever the present
season. Travellers cannot GO to Europe
and many do not care to cross the con-
tinent to the Pacific coast, and for
these reasons will seek resorts in the

per table in their home on South Center
street, they were startled by a crash
and the falling of plaster, preceded by
the boom of gun Investigation show
ed that missile had struck the outside
of their house and had penetrated the
side of the building, passed through
the bedroom and the wall of closet
adjoining, struck an overcoat hanging
therein and bounded out again into the
bedroom. Examination developed that
the missile was part of a broken file
about three inches long and it was
found that another piece had entered
the house at another point, missing a
wind ow by few inches.
Loath to believe that their home had
suddenly been transferred to the war
zone and that shrapnel was falling
about them, Mrs. Schanke made a
quiet investigation of her own and
found that young man in the neigh
borhood, about eighteen years of age
had been firing a home made cannon
loading it with powder and paper wads
and ramming these in with file. The
file it seems had broken off without
the knowledge of the young man and
when the cannon was fired these pro-
jectiles were sent with terrific force
into the Schanke home.
