Cryatal Lake Herald: Efforts to prst* serve the (natural beauties of Fox riveh as well as the usefulnesH of its waters as the home for game fish, are being exerted. Dangers unknown to the average resident of JFox river valley are becoming more prominent yearly and threaten the pollution of the stream. War on gravel washers, along the banks of the streams will be declared. This industry, as at present conducted extensively at Carpentersville, Algon­ quin, Cary and other poiuts, is chiefly responsible, it is said, for the unclean water aud muddy river bottom that is becoming more noticeable each summer. A letter from D. H. Anderson, editor of the Irrigation Age and an authority on the subject, follows: 1 consider a matter of great impor­ tance to the citizens of the Fox river valley the pollution of tnat stream by the tailings froua gravel washers and the filling up of the stream bed with slicken and other foreign matter which will eventually lead, as has been the case in mahy western streams where similar work is being done in the form of placer mining, so that during flood time (fcnd floods occur in Fox river as well as in the western streams), that river will eventually be forced out of its bed and do irreparable damage to good farming land along its banks, I have tried for several years past to interest dome of the citizens of Algon- quin£ln the subject of compelling the owners of gravel washers near that town to build dykes and form seepage basins which would hold all of the tail­ ings and water coming from the washers and eventually permit the water to reach its natural level ip a purified state. To one who has fished in Fox river for many years the outlook is disconr aging, to say the least. The men who are conducting the gravel washing plants along the upper reaches of the Fox are men who have gone out there from the city with a purely commercial object in view; that is to say, they are there to get all the money that can be had at the least expense to themselves, and this is done regardless of the in­ terests and protests of those who desire to see Fox river a clear sparkling stream, such as it was in our boyhood days. 1 One gentleman who is running a washer at Algonquin informed me that they have already filled.jip the bed with slicken, which forms in bars and is shifted from place to place during high water. ThiB creates a s&ft, sticky bar at every angle of the stream. It also forms a moderately thick layer over the long, straight reaches of the river bot­ tom and by and by the current is re­ duced by these conditions, becomes sluggish and thiB matter being of the character of cement, gradually hardens, raises the water plane of the river and brings about the results suggested in the early lines of this letter, There Is another important feature in connection with this which is over­ looked by the citizens of Algonquin and other cities along the upper Fox, viz., the beauty of the stream as an asuet. The people have been attracted to Al­ gonquin for years by tbe beauty of Fox river, and it would be difficult to find a more delightful stream thau was the Fox fifteen or twenty years ago. This has been changed, however, and tbe water is now ̂ rarely, if ever clear. It seems to me that some steps should be taken to stir op the citizens of the upper river towns and impress them with the harm that is being done to them as property holders along the stream by the avariciousness of a few foreign concerns. It is hardly fair to ruin as beautiful a stream as the Fox by dumping refuse from all of the gravel washing and other commercial plants into it. It is, moreover, a simple matter to arrange a seepage basin which will hold all of the solids and allow the water to percolate thru to its natural level. It is safe to say that an expendi­ ture of $200 on the part of tbe two gravel washers at Algonquin would have done away with all of the trouble against which we protest. Another feature in connection with this matter is that some of this sedi­ ment, clay, fine t-and, etc., is gradually being washed down tream and will eventually fill the storage basins above the dams and I predict that the first trouble from this cause will develop above the Carpentersville dam, which, if no effort is made to stop the practice, will eventual^ become a waterfall in­ stead of a storage dam. The interests are not heavy enough aloug this stream to warrant tbe building of wing dams, and the only remedy I can see is to com­ pel the gravel washers to build dykes and form seepage basins. Tbe farmers along the stream should also be interested in this subject, as all of their stock watered in the stream is drinking muddy water, and it is Bafe to say that milk taken from cattle who drink water of this character cannot be as good as from those who drink spring or clear river water. -D.
