ENGINEERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Engineers Of the Government Have faith
In irrigation Possibilities Of the
Missouri River.

Guy E. Mitchell, who has been at
tending the state irrigation congress,
says:
The people of North Dakota will be
interested To know that not only several
investigations and "Reminiscences Of
OF her irrigation projects are in progress
but that at least one actual survey Of the
Missouri is being made by the Reclaim
atirn Service, with reference to pump
ing out its waters by use Of Ignite coal.
The state is fortunate in having detailed
on this work an electrical and pumping
engineer who is working on a project in
which he thoroughly believes and over
the great possibilities of which he is
genuinely enthusiastic.
There is small question Of the prac-
ticability Of the pumping Of the river for
irrigation along the lower bench lands,
and | have been impressed with the fact,
as a fact, that there is no engineering
obstacle which can't be easily surmount-
ed in lifting out the water 50 and even
200 feet, onto the upper bench lands.
With this larger project it is simply a
question Of cost. as it has been suggest
ed 10 me, and as to whether the farmers
UT realize how much they a afford to
pay for an eternal water supply. The
bulk Of the irrigation projects in the
United States has been upoa a gravity
canal basis; in Engineer Churchill, this
state has a man who will work out the
problem OF forcing the Missouri out onto
the lands just to the extent and to the
section will support. The money ex.
pended under the national irrigation CT
must be paid back by the farmers md
time tho oarinr faofi,roS 0f tho
project a,e not the only oncs to be con.
sidered. Jumping upon the high benches
Of the Missouri may be distinctly feasible;
il my information and observations are
correct, it is. Yet as a project under the
irrig ton act, it may prove too costly to
be accepted by the farmers OF North
Dakota, with the present Sigh, appreci-
alton OF the valn" of irrigation. Only Q
c,r"Fu| search after information. first,
t." exact cost Her acrr and second. what
the farmers CO slider tt" wai.r worth,
can determine the feasibility Il tn plan
at the present time.
The realization Of this condition among
Dakota farmers, SUCCESS clearly the
necessity OF an educational campaign to
show farmers along the Missouri and its
tributaries what an acre irrigated will
d" f"r them; that farming under the
natural rainfall is always a distinct
gan BILE and uncertain to the last degree;
that the settlement of the country, the
blowing Of land and other such efforts of
man have no appreciable effect upon
the climate and cannot change nature
and the natural rainfall-there will be
wet and there will be dry periods-and
that irrigation is not only a method OF
greatly increasing crop production, but
is an absolute crop insurance.
Irrigation is great and the Missouri
affords a never failing supply; but there
are other conditions to be consided be-
side those of engineering in North
Dakota.

ARMY MAY BE SPLIT
FIELD MARSHAL OYAMA TRYING
TO DIVIDE THE FORCES OF
kURoPATKlN.

Mukden, Oct. 5.-scouts returning
from east and northeast say General
Kuroki, with a large part of his vast
army, is moving westward from a point
north of the Hun river and above the
eastern road against the Russian rear.
Grave fear Of disastrous attack before
Kuropatkin can move enough divisions
toward the region north Of Mukden to
meet the advance is entertained. The
activity of Marshal Oyama's other
forces south Of here has kept the Rus
sian general engaged in outpost fights,
and it is thought in the meantime the
Japanese commander has thrown most
Of Kuroki's forces around the Russian
left.
An attack from the rear in this
stage of the campaign, it is realized,
might result in splitting Kuropatkin's
forces.
