E. J. Dugan, United States engineer) in charge of the government water reservoir system in the Upper Missis- sippi valley, was in Grand Rapids reecently while on a tour of-inspec- tion of the Mississippi river. . He stated that he found the river from Grand Rapids to Aitkin in fairly good shape. From Brainerd to Aitkin it is in fair condition and navigable except for the Deerwood bridge, which is too low to let the large boats used on the upper river pass under except when the water is at its lowest stage. While here Mr. Dugan placed a de- vice on the Mississippi bridge for ascertaining the rise and fall of the water at this place. Will Scott has charge of it and takes the measure- ments each morning and evening. It*is a very simple device and con- sists of a chain and weight. The chain is lowered until the weight touches the surface of the water, the distance being figured from the level of the bridge. When the weight touches the water, the chain is mark- ed when at a level with the bridge floor and it is then hauled up and measured off. Mr. Scott informs us that thers is sometimes a difference of from 10 to 12 inches in the rise and fall of the water. Mr. Dugan wishes to find out the volumn of the water passing through here, for navi- gating purposes. From Deerwood to Little Falls the river is a succession of wide shoal stretches with gravel bars which make it impossible for boats draw- ing more than eighteen inches to go down. The only thing which makes navigation possible is that the logs have formed bars and restricted the water to a narrower channel with minimum depth of eighteen inches. It is probable, Mr. Dugan states, jthat a sufficient argument can be presented to the war department so that it will, as soon as money is , appropriated by congress for the pur- ‘pose, clear the river of snags and ,the banks of trees now in or liable to fall in through the washing away of the benks in the next ten years. Something, ~however, might of the work for a few years. The matter will now be up to the board of engineers, sitting in Washington. This board acts in an advisory cap- acity to congress on matters of en- gineering in the rivers and harbors, and congress usually abides by its advice. An Ohio Idea, Johns Hopkins University of Baltt- more, the first institution of learning in this country to adopt the true uni versity plan of all around education, has decided to admit women on even terms with men. This is a working back eastward of an idea in education which originated in Ohio. Oberlin and Antioch col- leges, the latter under the presidency of Horace Mann, were the first insti- tutions of collegiate rank to admit women and to make co-education a principle. Many colleges but few uni- versities have followed. A mummy factory has been discov- ered in Montrouge, a suburb of Paris. The “mummies” are sent to Egypt, and thence returned to Marseilles. Many have been sold to museums in different countries. The highest elevator service in the world is that at Burgenstock, a moun- tain-near the Lake of Lucerne, where tourists are raised 500 feet to the top of m vertical rock. — } was in. town Saturday on professior | Lottie Young. jlivered an Marble Mentions — News Items of Interest Gathered ¢ Ld $ $ During the Week at the 3 3 New Iron Town & Se tntntontontoatoatoctontotontnte etree eetontenteatentontonsentontententeatontoegoetetectietieteteetectete M—A—R—B—L—E— Mr. Lenard Lambert was ‘in Cole- raine Sunday.
