a theory not only advanced by Mr.
Harrison, but widely held. II it is a
true theory the annual saving in the
two Dakotas, with the creation OF
wealth in the arid part of Nebraska,
would fully Justify the expense OF
conducting the waters of the Missouri
SO long a distance. Furthermore,
there is little doubt that the creation
of the vast lake contemplated in the
scheme would add materially to the
average rainfall of the Dakotas. From

HUGE IRRIGATION SCHEME

BOO, 900 and 100 lives destroyed by the
floods would have been saved.
That flood, it will be remembered, was
caused by heavy and continuous rains
that flooded Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa, swelling the brooks, creeks and
rivers that drained that vast region
into the Missouri. Had it been possible
to hold back the upper waters OF the
Missouri, as it would have been had
there been a dam and a system OF
weather reports, the local rainwater
could have been carried off without
damage. The damage in that case
was extraordinary, but there is not a
year that several million dollars worth
of damage is not done either by the
Missouri alone or by the union of it's
swollen waters with the waters of the
Mississippi, the Ohio and other
streams whose floods reach their crest
at about the same TIME.

deep melt and pour into the Yellow
stone and other tributaries Of the
! Missouri above the Mandan bluffs.
| With these waters held back, part to
be diverted for irrigation and power
purposes and part to- be used later in
the season in maintaining a navigable
stage of water, not only would de-
struction be prevented, but the cost
of protective measures would be
lightened. The country must either
choose between some plan Of con-
trolling the Missouri or the extension
of the levee system. While the latter
has no indirect results of advantage
it will cost in the long run as much
as a gigantic dam project.
"As an irrigation scheme the pro.
ject is also. important. The water
''of the Missouri, it is to be noted, is
not alkaline water of the desert re
gions where most of the pending irri
cation schemes are projected. 1t is
soft water of greater value for irriga'
ton. That there are numerous areas
in North Dakota which are irrigable
is not denied by the engineers re
port. The contention merely is that
the irrigable areas are not sufficient
to justify the expense of any project
investigated. But with the construc-
tion Of the dam for mood control, irri-
CATION would, so to speak, become a

Local interest attaches to the follow
ing article which appeared in a recent
issue of the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
as it shows to what extent the matter
Of national irrigation is beginning to
affect the public mind in that portion
Of the country where ecourse to art
is not necessary to insure a sufficiency
Of water for the cultivation OF crops.
Additional interest is given it by rea-
son of the probable effect on local
conditions were the gigantic scheme
entertained by the Pioneer Press ever
given the substance Of an actually.
With a dam such as is treated OF in
the article really constructed the an
nual rush of water from the Yellow
stone and other Montana tributaries
Of the Missouri would be prevented,
not to say anything Of the main river
itself. The effects of this would be
farreaching in mony ways and be OF
inestimable value and benefit to an
area ~co-extensive with the Mississippi
valley.
"In an article in the Pioneer Press
last Sunday reviewing the various irri-
cation projects contemplated by the
government reclamation service, the
statement was made that the govern
ment engineers report that irrigation
does not seem practicable in North
Dakota. Tentative exception is made
to this report by H. H. Harrison, en-
gineer of the Saltwater water works
who has been over North Dakota very
thoroughly. He believes that the pos
sibility of storing the waters of thu
Missouri, controlling them and divert
ing them has not received the atten
ton that it deserves. His observa
tons lead him to believe that it ma.
be feasible to build a huge dam be
tween the Mandan bluffs somewher

HISTORY OF TIE oYPslEs.
Modern Historians Have Traced the
Origin of the Nomaoic Stran-
gers to India.

The word gypsy, OF curious and inter
esting origin, is AT once Illustrative OF
the tenacity OF a corruption anu sugges-
tive that the propensity oil children for
acquiring bias language is rac.al trait.
The gypsies on their nrst appearance ia
England about the beginning oil the six
teenth century were mistaken for Egyp-
tians and SO called by mel oi education,
but the common people. finding some diff
fculty in mastering the name, rendered
il "Sypsies, a"G so the Wandering peo-
pie have ever since been called.
During the reign of Henry VIII, in
1891, statute was enacted eXpelling the
gypsies from that country under penalty
of Imprisonment and forfeiture of prop
erty. According TO the Grey Friars'
Chronicle the statute recited that many
outlandish people calling themselves
Egyptians, using no craft nor faict (prac-
tice) Of merchandise, have come into
this realm and gone from shire TO shire
and place to place in great company and
used great subtle and crafty means to de-
ceive the people; bearing them in hand
that they by palmistry could tell men s
and women's fortunes. and so many
times b. craft and subtlety have deceived
the people Of their money. and also have
committed many and heinous felonies
and robberies" Six years later Crom-
well. in q letter to the president of the
Marches of Wales. accuses 1.-THE gip-
clans" as he calls them, of "falsehoods.
felonies and treasons" and orders the
execution of such as fail to leave at
command.
The gypsies had spread over the con-
tinent OF Europe several centuries be-
fore their appearance in England, and an
Austrian monk. writing Of them in the
twelfth century, calls them the progeny
of the son OF Hagar, OF Ishmaelites
Modern historians. however. have, by
the peculiarities of their language,
traced their origin to India Through
out the orient and continental Europe
they were known as metal workers. and
Sir John Lubbock attributes to them the
introduction Of metallurgy. especially Of
bronze, into Europe.
