Reservoir at Belle Fourche.

Work is about to begin on the i'm
mense government dam to be built
near Belle Fourche which is to con-
tain the main supply of water for the
irrigation project. The reservoir will
be twelve miles wide and will hold the
water of the Belle Fourche river and
adjacent streams. Its capacity cannot
at present be estimated, but its high
est point is lis feet from the ground.
The contract has been let to a Colo
RADIO firm for $1,01s,00O and machinery
is now being shipped preparatory to
the commencement of work. -Four
years will be allowed for the compile
ton of the reservoir, while the whole
irrigation project will probably require

LIQUOR TRAFFIC A CURSE.
Text Of Sermon Yesterday by Rev.
Carl DoneY.

i send unto you all my servants, the
prophets, rising and sending them, saying,
o do not this abomnable thing which I
hate y was the text of the sermon of Rev.
Carl Doney at Hamline Methodist Church
yesterday morning at the II o'clock service,
The pastor declared that the liquor traffic
Is a curse.
Rev. Mr.. Doney said that the sane minds
of the American people realize that the
liquor traffic is an immeasurable curse, and
that economically. socially and religiously
the traffic has nothing to offer which is not
overbalanced by hundredfold evil
''In the face of this conviction" the min
lister added there arises the practical
question, What should be done to destroy
it?"
The speaker went on to say that ordinary
wisdom, patriotism and morals will seek for
legal measures which will repress the sale
Of liquor everywhere.
Free from Pharisaism, the people should
declare the makers and sellers of liquor to
have forfeited their claims to responsibility
and decency," the pastor concluded. More
and more is this becoming the state of pub
lie opinion, and the liquor man, whether he
be millionaire or bottle cleaner is the
pariah Of society,""
