DRAINAGE CASE
Water Conservation Scores q
Victory as Court Permits
Lake Restored.

Water conservation scored a major
gain in Minnesota this week through a
state supreme court decision upholding
authority of the conservation commits
sioner to restore Lake ElySian in Waseca
and LIE Sueur counties.
Regarded by conservation department
officials as a landmark in water con-
alton of the lake despite a 34-year
lapse since construction of the drain
age ditch lowered it.
At hearing in April, 1889, the
conservation commissioner found the
lake to be polluted by erosion, unfit
for bathing, and to be losing its fish
life because of low water. He recon-
mended construction of dam.
The recommendation would have
brought the level to 1016.5 feet above
sea level from 1O145 feet The estab-
lished normal high water mark is 1913
feet-with the dam level thus providing
for storage due to rains and heavy
runoff.
The court held that the drainage
ditch constructed in 1906 was not in
tended to lower the lake, but instead
to drain adjacent slough lands.
Therefore the supreme court held,
lake shore owners who paid assess
ments and costs of the ditch near the
lake outlet were not entitled to rely
on benefits that accrued by recession
of the lake due to natural erosion 'ably
assisted by human endeavor."
Notwithstanding the 34-year lapse
of time since the ditch was constructed,
the opinion continued, the commission
er of conservation had authority to re-
store natural conditions since no pro-
scriptive rights can be sustained against
the sovereignty of the state.
The opinion reversed Waseca county
district court. 1t was the first case to
reach the supreme court involving
authority of the commissioner of con-
servation On water levels.

Government Saves Money by
Transmitting Telegraphic
Reports in Code.

1894 doesn't mean much to you, but
to Larry Anselment, chief clerk in the
U. S. forest service office here, and the
u. S. Weather bureau in Chicago, these
meaningless figures contain a complete
outline of the weather conditions here
during one day.
Local weather reports sent to Chicago
by the forest service during the spring,
summer and fall fire seasons are in
code to accomplish something that
governmental agencies are quite erron-
eously accused of never doing-Saving
money.
During the fire seasons the local
guardians of the Superior National
Forest receive daily weather forecasts
from Chicago which are quite important
in fire prevention and control work.
The data sent from Ely is used in
forecasting coming conditions.
Soon to arrive is book on cloud
formations which must be accurately
determined and reported, for they form
a major cle~ as to the weather to come.
Every morning at $50 o'clock the
weather at that particular moment and
during the preceding "a hours is de-
ternined and a code report compiled
and sent by telegraph to the Chicago
bureau.
In the first series of digits above, 14801,
the first three, 148, identify the source
of the report and simply mean Ely,
Mimi. Next follows the fire danger
reading on the morning the report was
sent, which was one.
There are seven degrees of fire
danger. When it reaches 3, tower
men man their lookout stations. When
it reaches 4, crews go out. AS the
danger increases, crews are increased
and when it reaches 7, the entire area
affected might easily become a blazing
inferno if it were not for the fire
fire fighting activities of the forest
service.
In the second series, 20503, the first
figure gives the wind direction. In this
case the code book says means east
The next two are the velocity of the
the code figure might be two digits, as
would be the case if the wind were q
miles per hour, zero precedes figure
that is less than TO- The figures O;
mean that the sky was nine-tenths
overcast. There are SO different types
of weather
In the third series, 76676, the first
figure, 7, gives the amount of cloud!
which in this case means nine-tenth'
clouds with openings. There are nine
classifications. 66 is the temperature
and rs the relative humidity at the
time the report was compiled.
In the fourth series, 5737O, 81 was the
minimum temperature during the night
means that the visibility was from
to miles, and 10 was the maximum
temperature the day before. There are
nine classes of visibility with a figure
for each one.

BEARS GONE

the stream and onto the shore where
they let them "cure" for two or three
days to make them more tasty. If
rivers weer still frozen, they hunted up
carcasses of deer which had fallen
during the winter.
But as soon as the fishing ended and
before the berry season started, many
of the bear in the Portage River terri
tory ambled into the camp where they
cleaned up all scraps in short order
and begged enrollees for handouts.
Then as the blueberries became ripe in
midsummer, they would often dis
appear into the woods for days, return
ing occasionally to the camp.
This year, however, they have been
few and far between. Old Bruno is
apparently gone forever. But the
stories of the Portage River bears will
live on. Many a happy tourist, con-
fident and chesty in the safety of his
home, can show his friends pictures of
the bear he "shot" SO close that its
hot breath made spots on the film.

 Scandal Sheet" as its name promises, is concerned with the ruthless publisher of a notorious tabloid newspaper, one which spe- cializes in scandal and sensation and is not particularly concerned with the accuracy of its news.
 Kruger is featured as the pulp fisher, portraying a dynamic and brilliant journalist who has won a reputation for fearlessness and a merciless ability to ferret out seemingly unimportant items in the days news and splash them across the front page. regardless of repu- tation or calumny.
 Miss MunSon, a versatile actress from the Broadway musical com edy stage, is cast as columnist, secretly in love with the publisher but appalled, at the manner in which he delves into private lives, unearths secrets and bares skele- tons in forgotten closets.
 Norris plays the part of a fiedg- ling reporter. true to the ethics of journalism as taught at college and amazed at the relentless tactics of the tabloid's reporters.
 The ceaseless search for scandal and sensation, the entanglement of Kruger in one of his own stories and the surprise denouement make Scandal Sheet" one of the sea- sons fastest moving inelodratnas.
