Total


From this statement you will see that
the total area subject to floods is ap-
proximately 81 acres. The drainage
area at this creek above the city of Ed
gerton is approximately 40 square miles
of which large portion is marsh area.
We have not attempted to make an ex-
tremely careful investigation of the
possible maximum flow of this stream,
but we have investigated it from the
standpoint of discharge per square mile
which would be probable on an area of
this size We have also consulted the
engineers of the State r. r. Commits
sion who deal with problems of this
kino and from such information as we
have been able to gather we are of the
opinion that discharge of Is Gu. tt.
per second per square mile would be
adequate for an area of this kind. This
would mean that the total discharge
would be approximately 900 Gu. TT. per
second. We have found that a new
channel could be excavated in such a
way as to have a uniform grade thru
the city of II it. per 1000 TT.
Taking discharge of 600 Gu. TT. per
second and grade of Il #. per 1000,
we find that ditch having any of the
following dimensions will discharge ap-

Madison, Wis, Dec. 81, 1915.
To the Mayor and Common Council,
Edgerton, Wis.
Gentlemen:
In accordance with the instructions
which [ have received from Mayor
Skinner, have had my assistant engi-
neers make a survey Of Saunders Creek
and adjacent territory where it passes
through your city. The purpose of this
survey was to determine the amount of
land that might be affected by floods on
this creek, and the probable cost of
dredging an adequate channel so as to
protect this land from further damage.
This survey is shown on the accompa-
nying map which shows the area subject
to overflow and is bounded by a line
labeled High Water Line. This line
was determined on the ground by the
engineers from evidences of high water
which they found while they were max
ing the survey. We have also shown
on this map the outline of the creek, as
it now exists, the line of the intersect-
ing sewer as taken from city map and
the center line of the proposed new
channel. For your information and for
the purpose of making record of same,
the area subject to floods between the
streets are given as follows:

AN EASY WAY TO END
CATARRH FOREVER
Simple Home Treatment Destroys
Germs Of This Dangerous
Diseasa

The reason why so many peo-
pie who suffer from Catarrh new
er seem able to get cured is that
they are continually seeking the
momentary relief OF sprays,
douching, greasy creams, ONT
ments, etc. Such things do open
up the swollen nostrils and clear
the head temporarily, beside stop
ping for while the disgusting
blowing, hawking, splitting and
choking, but they never cure. To
drive out Catarrh for good you
have to get down to its real cause.
Catarrh is germ disease. The
air Is always full of catarrh
germs thrown of by one person
and absorbed by another, and
when the system does fail to
throw off such germs they find
permanent Judgement In the nose.
throat and head and multiply rap
idly.
The germs of catarrh can best
be destroyed by inhaling the pure
medicated air of Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me). This splen-
did and powerful combination Of
oil Of Eucalyptus with other
healing agents has a wonderful
germicidal action. You breathe
its air into your nose, throat and
lungs by means OF a small hard
rubber inhaler which the Crown
Drug Co. and other leading drug
gists in this vicinity supply with
every complete treatment. This
medicated air Is certain death to
the germs Of Catarrh and drives
them completely out of your sys-
tenn and when the germs are de-
stroyed the catarrh with all its
disagreeable symptoms will stop.
Even two or three minutes use
will give refreshing relief, while
II you will use 1t two or three
times a day for a few weeks 1t
will completely Danish catarrh and
every symptom Of catarrh. AS
Hyomei is pleasant to breathe and
is always sold by druggists every
where with a positive guarantee
of successful results or money
back, surely no Catarrhal sufferer
should go long before trying this
simple home remedy.

WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Condition on April 1st 1873 Per Cent.
Rye Crop S7.S Per Cent.

Washington, April IA total pro-
duction of 100000 bushels Of
winter wheat was forecasted today by
the department of agriculture, basing
it's estimate on the condition Of the
crop April 1 and on an assumption of
average abandonment of acreage and
average influences on the crop to har-
vest. That compares with 655,045,-
900 bushels, the estimated produc-
ton in 1915 and 6S4,9s0,000 bushels
in 1914.
Condition of winter wheat on April
1 was 1873 per cent. >Of normal,
against SS.S last year, 95.6 in 1914
and 87.3, the average for the last ten
years. There was a decrease of 9.4
points in condition from December 1
to April /, compared with an average
decline of 3.5 points between those
dates in the last ten years. j
The average condition of rye on
April / was S7.8 per cent: of normal,
against S9.5 on April 1 last year,
91.3 in 1914 and S9.9, the average

FUNSTON GETS MORE TRUCKS.
To Be Used in Transporting Supplies
to L. S. Forces i'm Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas, April 5.-Gen.
Funston was advised by the war de-
partment today that his request for
more automobile trucks had been
granted. While the addition of 10S
more trucks to those already carry
ing supplies along the line of COM
munications to the troops in Mexico
will serve to relieve the situation,
staff officers still regarded the use of
the railroads from Ell Paso as essen
tial to the success of the campaign
against Villa.
With six thousand horses and
mules to feed every day and approx
mately that many men, the quarter
masters department realized the dif-
iculties with which it had to contend.
No reports from Gen. Pershing as
to operations south of Namiquipa
were received and officers here are
yet lacking details of the skirmish
between Col. Browns cavalry and
Villas men on April 1.
