compensated in another, and the
sum of the whole might not be
very unequal" he said.
The President had suggested
that improvements be made with
funds from "tonasge duties" Lin
coin replied that to use the ton
mage duties from one improvement
to build other improvements would
be unfair. eff l be right in this,
how could we make an entirely new
improvement by means of tonnage
duties? How make a road, a canal,
or clear a greatly obstructed river?
The idea that we could involves
the same absurdity as the Irish bull
about the new boots. 4 shall new
err git 'em on says Patrick, till l
wear 'em a day or two, and stretch
'em little We shall never make
a canal by tonnage duties until it
shall already have been made
awhile, so the tonnage can get in
to it."
That Lincoln had personally par
ticipated in laying out roads is
shown by the records OF Sangamon
county, which contain the follow
ing report, presented to the coun-
ty commissioners court at its
June term, 1884:
eve the undersigned being APP
pointed to view and locate a road

have performed the duties of said
view and location as required by
law, and that we have made the
location on good ground and be-
lieve the establishment of the same

pounds of protein, while an acre
yield of two tons of red clover hay
contains but 304 pounds. In tim
othy, which yields around one and
one-half tons of hay per acre, only
80 pounds of protein are carried.
The value of each of these three
different hays for their protein con-
tent alone, based on a present av-
erage price of 9 cents pound, its
cost in purchased concentrates, is
$56.24 for an acre yield of al
falfa hay, $27.36 for an acre of
red clover and $50 an acre yield
of timothy. Because alfalfa is the
cheapest source Of protein for feed
ing dairy cows and other farm live
stock, the Institute is cooperating
with many farmers and business
men this year in introducing this
valuable crop on farms where it
has never. been grown before.

INCOME TAX MAN COMING

For the convenience of those
who are required by law to file
Federal Income Tax Returns, a
Deputy Collector of Internal Reeve
nue. will be at Sank Centre, Min
nesota, March GRID and 5th to as
sist taxpayers in preparing their
returns. No charge will be made
for this service. The matter of
filing your Income Tax Return
should be given immediate atten-
ton, in order to avoid penalty and
interest. Form 1O4OA should be
used if the income is derived
chiefly from salaries and wages
and does not exceed $4,000. Form
1040 should be used for net in
comes of more than $4,000, or net
incomes regardless of amount if
derived from a Procession or bus
mess, including farming, or from
rents or sale of property.

Only on farms which grow le-
gumes, alfalfa especially, is it
possible to make homegrown ra-
lions for dairy cows which can be
converted into milk and butterfat
by cows most efficiently and most
economically, declares the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute, the
originator of the plan for 10000
Acre Alfalfa Clubs which are now
being formed in many agricultural
communities throughout the Missis-
sippi valley. Alfalfa is especially
valuable in dairy cow feeding be-
cause as hay it is much superior to
other hays as a producer of pro-
tein, the feed constituent which is
relatively scarce and expensive
when purchased in protein concen-
trates.
An average aers yield of three
tons of alfalfa hay contains 434

Gibbon, first shut the upper
gates and drained the fume.
Between the upper gate and
the rack, there was a deposit
of gravel and silt on the floor
of the flume from nothing at
a distance OF. 10 feet below
the gates, to from 8 to IA
inches at the rack.
Locating ourselves by re-
ferring to everything as look
ing up stream, the following
is our opinion of conditions
existing on February 18th,
1928.
The walls between the
gates and rock are approx
mately sound and strong. The
timbering back of the walls
has detoriated in strength but
not to a degree that would
be dangerous.
The floor as a whole is in
1alr condition, although there
are a few bad spots which
will need repairing in the
near future, especially at the
upper left hand corner of the
fiume, directly below the up
per gates. The floor under
the deposit of gravel and silt
had several bad spots, which
need attention.
Between the rack and the
lower gates the side walls and
floor were in poor condition.
Barring several weak spots
the planking as a whole is
solid and strong in the side
walls. The timbering sup
porting the planking is deter

imum high water condition
would take care of row boats
on this lake.
AS you perhaps know the
contract for this bridge was
awarded sometime ago and
material was recently deliver
ed based on the original clear
ance of 3 feet 2 inches as
referred to above. The road
embankment was built to
comply with the proposed
bridge grade and while about
a foot excess height was OBJ
tanned on this work at the
time of its construction, we
are advised that subsistence
has occurred since, and that
approximately only one-half
of this amount is available at
the present time. Assuming
that further settlement is still
likely to occur, and also that
the present excess material
will only properly meet the
grade on the bridge floor al
lowing for the thickness of
the floor slab an increased
height of the bridge at this
time is available only within
the limits permitted by the
material ordered for the job.
1t is not desirable of course to
introduce a hump over the
bridge if there were no other
limiting conditions, and an
attempt to grade satisfactory
approaches involving any con-
siderable raise in the grade
line would involve consider
able additional grading costs.
Under the circumstances
we are inclined to believe that
with the length of piling as
ordered we might be able to
raise the originally planned
grade for the bridge struc-
ture 1 foot, thus allowing a
vertical clearance of water
craft of about 4 feet 2
inches at maximum high wat
er stage based on the assump-
ton that this is governed by
milling gage reading of
ITO feet.
Instructions on the basis of
the foregoing have been given
to Mr.. F. E.. Miller our Resi-
dent Engineer on this project
and we trust that the change
as outlined will satisfy de-
mands for increased clear
ance.
Yours very truly,
Department of Highways,
M. J. Hoffman,
Bridge Engineer.

replaced.
The floor over this COM
plete section needs repair
ing, and in the event that the
timbering is replaced, a new
floor should be laid.
From the lower gates down
through the penstock, the
walls are held together by
"a inch rods, some of which
have rusted away, causing
a greater strain on the re-
manning rods. These rusted
rods should be replaced.
The planking in the upper
penstock has several bad spots
which we covered. The
planking in the lower pen
stock is apparently in much
better condition.
The floor in the upper pen
stock has been laid recently
over the old floor. A section
of this was removed and a
section of the supporting tim
Der opened for inspection.
The upper set of timbers are
in poor condition. The lower
set, from what could be as
certained, are apparently in
as good condition as when
placed.
The floor was in three lay
ers-the two lower layers be-.
ing badly rotted. The upper
and newer layer is fastened
to these two old layers.
The above is a brief out
o line of the work done. The
methods used were all that
could be undertaken under
existing conditions.
We believe that 20 repair tn
present f1ume would be inadvis
able, due to the condition of tn
timbering both under the floor an
back of the side walls. In GU
opinion, rebuilding of the fiume, a
a whole, would be advisable. l
the fiume is rebuilt, rs would seer
that it would also be inadvisabl
to rebuild the present fiume as
now exists. We would advise tina
any reconstruction be done in
substantial manner, such as of
concrete design.
In regard to the safety Of tn
present fume, it apparently VII
stand, under ordinary conditions
throughout the coming year, but a
a whole it is not safe as it nov
stands. ANY timber flume, som
forty years old, which has bee
repaired and covered two or tire
times without any new timbers be
ing added except in a few in
stances, does not make a SAT
hume. 1t would be impossible t
take out, replace or repair any o
the old timbering without wreck
ing that section of the fiume, an
then it would be only rebuilding
on a lower course of timbering. l
would therefore be entirely mad
visable to state that the flume wa
safe and would withstand any con
dition that might arise through tn
fluctuations of the water level il
the river.
If it is the desire of the Boar
to keep the old fume in IT'S presen
location, we would advise that tn
cofferdam be placed above tn
upper gates, the old timbering tor
out, and an entire new f1ume b
built, reconstructing the gates an
them of a modern and NOR
easily adjustable construction
Briefly, the presen< floor shoul
be reconstructed entirely of con
crete, from the upper gates to tn
street line of the old mill.
In our report of June 2, 1872
we estimated the cost of rebuiliin
the present flune at 1,485 90
This estimate would have to - b
materially at the presen
time, and this would again hav
to be repeated in the course of te
to fifteen years, with constan
watching and repairing throug
that time.
