Big Water DITCH
Something About the Governments
Operations in North Dakota. In
miQratiOn at WjIIiston,

WilliStOn, y. d., Nov. 2l.--WOrk
! on the four great irrigation projects
in this vicinity, which was actively
begun Oct. !, is making rapid pro-
gress and. unless unforeseen obstacles
present themselves, the projects will
be in shape for..water to be pumped
| into the main irrigation ditch by
June /, 1907.
The four projects on which tho
work has been undertaken. are tho
Willston, Nesson, Trenton Buforu
and that part Of the lower Yellow
stone project lying within North Da"
kOta.
The lower Yellowstone is the only
one OF the four which will be a .gra-
vity project, the Others being opnr-
atcdsss by pumps. The yellowstone
project comprise 900 acres and will
cost s., 100, 900. The Bulord- Trenton
project extends from Buford, near
the Montana line along the Missouri
iriver.to within few miles of..Wiliis-
ton and includes $4,000 acres. The
Williston project includes 10000 acres
and the Nesson valley 2S000 acres.
The main power plant for the Will
! liston project is now under cOntruc
! tion. 1t IS located about three miles
north OF the city adjacent to twelve
foot veif of Ignite coal which will
| be thrown under the boilers when
mined, and used to generate electrical
energy. The electric power will be
transmitted by wire from the main
power house to the pumps, located on
| hargcs in the river. The water will
first be pumped into huge settling
| vats where the river sediment will
be eliminated. The clalif flied water
will then be pumped into the main
canal, from (which the laterals and
cross bitches Will be fed.
The Willston power house also will
supply power for the Bulord Trenton
project, transmitting. the current
TWENTY-FIVE miles.
The Following dl.a, uie to UU 'uii-
der the ditch' the coming year:
Williston project, 10000 acres; Bu-
ford Trenton, $4,000 acres; Nesson,
900 acres. In the first two the
work to be extended to the higher
lands as rapidly as feasible.
| The combined cost of the three
projects wholly within this state is
estimated at 81, 100000.
In all the projects the owners of
the land which.. Twill be 'under the
ditch' form water useIs' asso-
citation each member being allowed
one vote for each acre Of land owned.
The cost of the irrigation work is
to be borne by the land owners, who
have ten years to repay the govern
ment for its outlay. 1t is expected
that this cost will be about $3.50 per
acre per year until the construction
of the plant is repaid to the govern
ment. The cost of maintenance and
operation of the plant afterwards is
estimated at about 30 cents per acre
per annum.

Railroad Point Of View.

In testimony before the Minnesota
railroad commission j. J. Hill said
that the increase in earnings Of the
Great Northern road in North Da-
k0ta were far in excess Of Minnesota
during tee last seven years and there
is less land under cultivation between
Barnesvi]le and Crookston than Is
years ago. lie said:
"We can't carry sand, soil : or
water. 1t must be something soil
produces. In Minnesota, as tim ber is
nearly gone, farm commodities are
what we must depend on. So we
have always made rates to favor the
agricultural interests. For fifteen or
twenty years our rates on this class
of freight have been lower than other
roads,
"On grain, as fast as we reduced
rates, the eastern lines advanced
them. SO we built a line of lake
stea mers. We built a Buffalo termin-
] elevator, so that there would not
be charges on grain losses which did
| not occur. Our action in all this was
commended by Ignatius Donnelly and
don't think anyone ever accused
hin Of pemg friendly TO the rail
roads.
'We built ships and elevators.
And we received kicks and cuffs in
return. We ale not doing it any
more. 1 submit that the Great
| Northern has been made the target
for attacks from every demagog in
this state. We are making the target
as small as possible at present. -
Mr.. Hill said that railroads did not
make as much money in first class
freight shipments as on long haus Of
low rate shipments. A Car with Sc a
hundred freight going a trip of..5C
miles would not earn over S5.:.a day.
Many cars are not loaded to capacity.
! The shortage Was not in cars but
| inpower to move them. An average
freight car costs about $3.50 and are
advancing. Steel cars are too heavy
at present to be profitable. The re.
pairs on the average car would run
$50 year. The classification of goods
is the result Of experience and what
might be fair for New England
would not be for this part of the
! country. Coal, lumber and brick are
shipped under special com mmOdity
rates to build up the country. The
rate o. hard coal is more than on
soft coal because hard coal is used
outside of cities by small consumers
less able to buy hard coal the latter
being more of luxury and soft coal
helps to develop factories and indus.
tries. Both grain and coal are hauled
for less than the average cost of haul
ing all traffic. If coal was moved
west from the head of the lakes in
| time before Nov. Is the rate would
be cheaper as empty cars west bound
could be used. Soft coal is nearly
gone at the head of the lakes by Jan.
and ABOUT four 6fths OF the grain
crop is usually moved between Sep.
tember and January ! and most oi
the coal.

hopes.
The democrats have entirely given
up hopes of the state ticket with the
exception of Burke and Fisk. 1t was
admitted last night that there was
not the slightest show for Williams,
who, it was thought, might have run
ahead of his ticket far enough to be
squeezed in.

Rev. William Reace, of the Metho-

vertising for religious services as
we'll as other business. He is not
advertising his own superior qualif-

by indirect methods of securing pub
licity-but advertises the business of
the Lord in whose service he is en-
ployed, so that people may come and
hear the Word. No Sen~sationaliSm
and no deception about this method
of advertising and paying for it. He
is not pretending to give an operate
performance nor a moving picture
show to attract the shallow minded
He mas made no wonderful new dis
coveries in the Bible, or outside of
wishes to interest people in
the good old-fashioned gospel.
