‘Watertown, 8..D., August 5.—The north shore of Lake Kampeska in the .reglon where" the lake connects with the Bix Sioux river by means of what i known as the outlet, ‘the water running into the lake when the river igh and.from the lake into thé river when the latter is low, has un- dergone several radlcal changes since the "whflomen ‘tirat senled i’ this vi- cinity. . Many years ago flshinz for pike was especially good off the shore at this point, but of late years a vast sandbar has been-accumulating un- il _now. there are lanes. or.avenues of sand extending a'considerable dis- tance into the lake, and. fishermen are ‘compelled to g0 “turther off shore to get upon . good fishing grounds. as fine building sand as can be found has accumulated .on either side along the shore from .the outlet. -During periods of low water - the :sandbar forms a bridge entirely across what CHANGES PLANES WITHOUT LADDER Thousands of carloads of | twenty-five years ago had every ap-| pearance of a river, connecting the lake with main river channel. . - Another peculiarity is that there are deep holes and “extensive chan- nels in the lake bed where years ago | there was a gradual.decline in the bed from shallow 'to deeper water. Bathers frequently find, 'in wading oft shore, that they tumble ‘without warning into a deep channel, like’a river bed, or into ‘a hole resemhling to all outward npmnnces, a.pond} within the lake. The_ cause of this phenomenon is conjectural, but in the minds - of many it denotes a gradual changing of the shore line and ‘a recession of}] the water along the north shores. at the outlet as the sand is-being’shoved up from the deeper waters. -There is no noticeable lowering of the lake level, however, as shown by the re- cords at the pumping station, which have been kept for twenty-five years. Lake Kampeska, by the way, cov-| - ers an area of five thousand acres. not a foot of the shore lIine: being other than either a mixture of sand and gravel or mammoth hardheads, sometimes termed -boulders. Its shores approximate twenty miles. SOFTEN HAKD WATER " By using Rub-No-More Washing Powder..
