Water LEVELS
TO THE FORE
Agitation is Again Flaring to
Maintain "a Steady Head
In White Iron.

The plethorea of water in White Iron
lake this spring and which has caused
an unestimable amount of damages to
resort operators and summer home
owners on the shores of this fine body
of water, is again in the limelight and
is being discussed and cuSSed by the
aforementioned property and resort
owners.
The concensuS of opinion seems to be
that the bridge at Silver Rapids has
altogether too much to do with the rise
of the lake causing the destruction of
boat houses, docks and other improve
ments on the shores of the lake an
nually and causing thousands of dollars
in damages.
The authorities of Fall Lake township
and the commissioners of Lake County
are convinced that the bridge has
nothing to do with the water levels and
maintain that there is plenty Of clear
ance space under the bridge to allow
all water to pass through.
Before the bridge was built, accord
ing to opinion of lake shore owners, the
waterway under the bridge and the ap-
proaches had a clearance of about 100
feet and that now, with the approaches
on both sides filled solidly, the clear
ance amounts to about 90 feet.
AS all the water of the Stoney and
KawiShiwi river basins emptieS into
the lake it is the opinion that with
about 160 feet of water pouring into the
lake and only water way of 80 feet
at the outlet, the lake is bound to rise
during the spring freShets.
An association of lake shore residents
and resort owners has been formed to
see what can be done about it. All
these people suffer an annual loss by
the high stage Of water on White Iron
and it is felt that their investments up
on which they pay the taxes, should be
protected. The association numbers all
residents and resort operators on the
South to Silver Rapids, where the lake
empties into Garden, Farm and Eve
lakes and then flows north into Fall
lake over dam holding back water for
the Minnesota Power & Light Com
pany and the hydro-electric plant north
of Winton.
1t is felt that the bridge span should
be increased to allow as much water to
pass out of the lake as enters it. 1t is
stated that before the bridge was built,
a few years ago, that the water trouble
did not reach the proportion it now does
and while there was high water, it
came nowhere near attaining the vol
ume it now does.
Commissioner LomaSney of the Fall
Lake district of Lake County will be
appealed to by the association formed
In addition there will be a meeting with
the commissioners of st. Louis county
in which county a portion of the lake
is situated. The Power & Light COM
pany will also be appealed to in the ef-
fort to establish levels on White Iron
to reduce the annual spring floods anC
reduce the losses sustained by the
property and resort owners.
August SeliSkar, who operates the
Pine Point resort near the Silver Rapids
bridge, has started the movement and
he is being backed by the property
owners.
