CHANGE MIssOURI's COURSE
Ambitious Project Proposed by the Ma
tlonaI Irrigation Association for
North Dakota,

An AMBITIOUS project is that considered
by members of the National Irrigation as
soc1at1on.N Zone plan that has been sug-
gested,' said George H. Maxwell, execu-
tive chairman of the association in ST.
Paul yesterday, lis to carry the Missouri
eastward from the Great Bend to the CEN
ter of North Dakota and to the southwark
of its present course. This would irri-
gate several million acres of land
But more results can be accomplished
by irrigation in the northwestern states,''
says Mr.. Maxwell, ''in that the same ex-
penditure can bring about in any other
section of the country. Montana, Idaho
and Washington have. millions :of acres
OF land that can be irrigated at very low
cost. There are plenty of rivers there
from which water can be taken. In the
southwest, however, more difficulties are
presented; the water must be stored and
the supply is limited.
But the passage Of the national irri-
cation act las aroused those northwestern
cities on the Pacific coast that have here
tofore been comparatively Indifferent.
This act appropriates about $6,00O,O 900 for
irrigation purposes and provides that
public lands shall be sold under the irri-
cation act. : The government will build
works for supplying this land with water.
The land will be open to homestead entry.
The only additional cost will be that the
purchaser of the land must reimburse the
government In ten annual payments for
the original cost of the irrigation plant.
=, 1T has not yet been decided where the
government will make it's first experiment
But, it would seem that the most can be
accomplished at the least cost along Milk
river in Montana. The cost of Irrigation
there will be little more than IS an acre
Indeed, the federal census shows that
wherever irrigation has been tried the
first years crop of the. land benefited has
paid the cost Of the irrigating works
There is much land In the Dakotas that
would be benefited by irrigation but the
supply Of water is inadequate. 1t was tc
iunrove these lands that someone con-
ceived the scheme of changing the course
Of the Missouri.
"The demand for irrigated lands proves
that they are now a favor1te investment
A short time ago, in the Yakima valley
more bidders than could be satisfied ap-
peared at the sale Of an irrigated tract

WHEATON \ THE MOVE.
Long Delayed Crop Movement Gets
Under Way To-day's Receipts
Well Up.
Many Cars Are Headed This Way
but Roads Can't Rush
Them In.

The long delayed crop movement in the
northwest is at lastfunder way After five
weeks of continuous daily receipts, show
ing losses by comparison with the figures
Of last year, Minneapolis, for the first
time in the movement, had receipts to day
something like normal ruff for Monday,
and for the first time this season ran
ahead Of last year ~
Eight hundred and ten cars Of wheat
were in, compared with 1856 on the cor
responding day a year ago. Grain men
are Tjubilant over this showing, and are
inclined to believe that the turn has at
last been made. ''<'' "@t %@Et<.' IT, r. -
Minneapolis is close to 1000, 900 bushels
behind in wheat receipts to date, but from
now on should begin to wipe out this loss
by moderate daily gains. Bad weather
was originally the cause Of the delay and
this has been aggravated Of late by a
lack Of motive power and the inability Of
the railroads to move the freight offered,
although using their full equipment. AS
an illustration, there were at noon to-day
621 loaded cars, containing principally
coarse grains and some wheat, on the
stretch of the 500 road between Portal and
Enderlin These are all headed for Min
neapolis, but the general traffic Is SO
heavy that they cannot be moved tmrne-
diately. 49, - ".-'
Coarse Grain Receipts.
In receipts of coarse grains Minneap-
| oils has made the start for, a record
breaking year and to date is far ahead OF
any year in the history Of the market.
The general showing of receipts of all
grains to-day is the best SO far, with a
gain of 1854 cars, as follows:

SHELL BEEF CHEAP.
Grass Fed Cattle Are Selling at Rea-
sonable Rates, Say Local Meat
Dealers. Z
Little Prospect of a Decline in the
Price Of Corn Fed Beef,
However.

Local information "in the trade"
neither affirms nor denies the assertion
Of Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson, in
a Washington interview, that the price
Of beef will soon be lower.
The secretary believes that this result
will be brought about by the large corn
crop and by the natural. increase in the
country's innumerable cattle. "As soon
as the animals that are now being fat
tened" says Mr.. Wilson, "are ready for
the market, we shall see a marked de-
cline in the price Of beef. don't expect
to see a return to the very low prices
that used to prevail. This country is
too prosperous and too fond of, meat.
Besides, England Is importing more of
our beef than eyer before. But the pres
ent high prices, I think will not last
much longer . T.. .-.
A: Tuffley. agent for Swift & Co.,
agreed with other local representa- of
the great packers ''We're not in a po-
sttion, said he, "to get any reliable in
formation as to the future prices. They
will depend chiefly on the supply of beef
You will have to inquire of men: more in
touch with the ranges and the big stock
raisers.'
But M. c.. Mooney, of Mooney & Das-
sett, retail meat dealers in Nicollet ave-
nue., declared:
Cheap beef is cheap already and it's going to
be cheaper within sixty days.
1ndC is 10 say, we ulreuQy nave gOOQ supply
here of grassfed cattle that are selling at very
reasonable prices. Put this meat mas very lit
tie Tat on it, its largely shell beef, lean and
none too tender. Yet a great many people
throughout town want such Eeef and they can
gat it now cheap enough. =
But most of our own customers insist on hav-
ing the best meat. They want cuts from fat.
eorn-fed cattle, and the price of such meat is
still very high. We have to charge at least
| twenty-five per cent more these fat cuts
than. we would for lean meat from grass-fed
cattle. For example, this fine roast, in clear
layers of red and White-regular marble-is from
| corn-fcd steer that lean from his
| calf-hood ~. We'd ask ut least % cents a
pound for this roast, and we'd probably get %
cents. But she'll beef roast could be sold
with even greater profit at ten to twelve and q
half cents.
That Is, we have to pay 81 hundred pounds
more $24 to $26 on every carcass for
corn fed cattle than pay for cattle from the
ranges.
Within the next two months there is going tc
be quite rush of range cattle towards this
market, and that sort of meat will be cheape1
STILL But L have to believe that
mere Is going to be better supply of corn-fef
| cattle Tor considerable period. The mel
now FEEDING steers can get some of them OF
the market within three months but others won
be ready to sell before New Years.

STRINGENCY IS NATURAL
Local Bankers Say Money Shortage Il
the East Is Not an Alarming
~onaixI.n FL

Bankers Of the city believe that the
money stringency in the east is natural
result of the conditions which have ex-
listed there for some time. Nothing Is to
be feared from it. The closeness of the
market is a direct result Of the greatest
prosperity which has ever come to this
country. ~. .--
In the west increased rates Of interest
for money may result. It is the western
demand upon the east for money to move
crops and for other purposes which has
drained the market to its present condi-
ton. ...- :.
