<br /> Chase and Frye owned three other islands to the west.In 1902,
<br /> the Davis Island Boom Company diverted the Mississippi
<br /> River channel around the Chase and Frye Island,but erosion
<br /> threatened the riverbank.The channel was subsequently
<br /> restored.
<br /> Between 1916 and 1978,Lake Orono served as the generator of
<br /> electricity for the Elk River Power and Light Company.The
<br /> lake level was lowered in 1978 to preserve the deteriorating
<br /> dam. In 1980 the dam was rebuilt.(See Transportation
<br /> Context.)
<br /> A.W.Jesperson of Elk River had another vision for the Elk
<br /> River that involved elaborate re-engineering at his Camp Cozy
<br /> resort west of Lake Orono to accommodate a golf course and
<br /> recreational canal.
