WHILE THE’ FAMILY Is ALDERMEN AT MILLE LACS EXPERTS START INSPECTING MIN- NEAPOLIS’ POSSIBLE WATER SUPPLY. | CHEMISTS TO ANALYZE WATER Greatest Depth of 39 Feet Found In Northern Part of Lake.—Eighty Mile Steamer Trip Skirting . Shore Line, on Program. Wahkon, Minn., Aug. 16.—Twenty aldermen, with a score of others who came to look up the possibility cf Mille Lacs as a source of pure water for present and future generations of the Mill City, blistered and squirmed un- der 90 degrees, which temperature prevailed at Wahkon and points on the big lake. Headed by Alderman Clark, the par- ty boarded the Queen Anne and be- gan reconnoitering the southern half of the lake. Samples of water at va- rious depths, as well as soundings, ‘ were taken under the direction of Pro- fessor Erasmus D. Smith, and his son, G. Albert Smith, of Wisconsin uni- versity; Dr. J. Corbett and B. T. Sykes, supervisor of the Minneapolis water department. During the early afternoon Spirit island, an upheaval of granite on which no vegetation is found, was vis- ited. In this part of the lake the depth of water varied from 26 to 18 feet. Apparently members of the party were not afraid of algae, or doubted their presence, for they took copious drafts from the lake at intervals. Best Water in North. Im the evening the steamer took the experts to the northern part of the lake where soundings and samples were made also. The greatest depth found in the morning was 35 feet and in the afternoon 39 feet. The best water was found in the north half of the lake where the average depth was about 35 feet. Despite stories that Mille Lacs has nothing but springs with which to re- place loss through evaporation, it is fed by no less than 47 streams, most of which it is true, are small. On the east shore, however, is a stream esti- mated to flow into the lake at the rate of 60,000,000 gallons a day. Steamers will take the members of the party on a trip of 80 miles, skirt- ing the entire shore line of the lake until the samples have been analyzed by experts. EARTHQUAKE SHAKES JAPAN. Fear Loss of Life Is Great—Wires Down and Communication Cut Off. Tokio, Aug. 16—A severe earth- quake occurred in central Japan. The shock was particularly hard around Kyoto Asawa, Lake Ciwa and Nagoya. All railroad communication with those districts have been interrupted. Many heuses collapsed and it is feared that many people were killed or injured. Nagoya with a population of more than 250,000 and one of the principal cities in Japan, located 170 miles west of Tokio was badly damaged. Thirty deaths and 82 people injured have thus far been reported. OSTEOPATHS AT MINNEAPOLIS. New Medical Cult Holds National Convention, Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 17.—The American Osteopathic association be- gan a four days’ convention here in the city hall. The members were welcomed by Dr. BE. C. Pickler and the president, Dr. T. L. Ray, delivered his annual address. The program cludes numerous papers and demon- strations, with an “open parliament” each afternoon. AWAY OBrEIANY 46h COMMERCE MEETING OPEN DENVER ENTERTAINS TRANS- MISSISSIPP] CONGRESS. Many Important Questions Scheduled for Discussion During the Session. Denver, Col. Aug. 16.—After a lapse of 19 years the Trans-Mississ- ippi Commercial congress re-convened in this city, where it held its second meeting in 1891. Its sessions will last all through the week and many are the vital subjects that will be dis- cussed. Only politics is barred, and the program is so elastic that any delegate may talk about the subject that interests him most. Secretary Arthur F. Francis greet- ed the hundreds of delegates. They include representatives of states, cit- ies, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, commercial clubs, manufactur- ing, mining, mercantile and traffic, live stock, immigration, irrigation, maritime, drainage and waterways improvement associations. President Thomas F, Walsh, of Denver, called the opening session to order in the Auditorium. It was giv- en up mainly to welcoming speeches and responses and an outline of what the congress hoped to talk about and to accomplish. Among the important matters up for careful consideration is the ques- tion of closer commercial relations with the Latin republics, with special reference to the early completion of the Panama canal. Director Barrett, of the International Bureau of Amer- ican Republics, is here with represen- tatives of the Latin-American lega- tions to take a hand in this discus- sion. Hawaii, too, is represented by delegates who will ask for vigorous action on behalf of immigration and public land laws. “National Defense” has a place on the program because of the pressing necessities of the Pacific coast in the matter of adequate naval facilities, and the question of a liberal policy toward the merchant marine also is on the list. Of course conservation of the for- ests and the public domain will at- tract much attention and it is expect- ed the resulting discussions will be lively. Irrigation, waterways, drain- age, dry-farming, parcels post, postal savings banks and many other topics are to be threshed out by the speak- ers before the congress. TEST CASES IN SIX STATES. Government Is Ready to Begin Prose- cution of Bleached Flour Suits. Washington, Aug. 16. — Solicitor George McCabe, of the department of agriculture, has been in conference for the last two days with his assist- ants and with representatives of the department of justice over the bleach- ed flour cases, which are soon to be instituted. It is announced that the preliminary cases will be tried in at least six states and the details of the suits are prattically completed. District attorneys will be ordered to begin the prosecutions within a short time. The department will not indicate in what states the suits are to be brought, and so far as can be learned Minnesota, where the millers voluntarily stopped bleaching flour, is not concerned in their cases. Officials of the agricultural depart- ment have been busy denying a re- port sent from Omaha recently that the crusade against bleached flour had been &bandoned. BUSSE GETS POLICE CHIEF. Chicago Mayor Appoints P. O. Man to Fill Shippy’s Position. Chicago, Aug. 16—Mayor Busse announced the appointment of Leroy T. Steward, superintendent of city de- livery of mails in the Chicago post- office, as chief of police to succeed George M. Shippy. Mr. Steward’s in-| name will be sent to the city council for confirmation at a special meeting of that body. He will assume the of- fice at once. Hy | N) We Are Laying For You to buy for future use.
