IRRIGATION BOAT
5s8@s6 9gSsSz 5sss8# -
NEARLY READY

j, r. Morrison, the ex-Wool-grower
of Landusky, who is now devoting his
time and energies to the develop
ment of a current motor boat with
which he will raise water for irriga-
tion purposes, spent several days of
this week in Havre.
Mr.. Morrison, as told at the time by
the Herald, began work on boat
at Fort Benton and tells us that this
week will see the boat finished, but
he feels that the season is now too
far advanced to risk putting the boat
in the river at Benton. The shaft, in
the form of an auger, he had made
in Columbus, Ohio, and was received
last week. This is five feet by 80
feet and the dimensions of the boat
just built are IL feet wide by 40 feet
long The shaft is to run through
the boa and when in mid-stream a
wonderful power will be generated.
Mr.. Morrison, not content to wait
TO: spring, contemplates taking the
shaft to some place across the Rocky
Mountains. where he can build an
other boat in about four weeks and
the demonstration can then proceed
He is undecided yet as to whether
he will try the Spokane river a. Spo-
kane, Wash, or the Snake river at
LeWistoWn, Idaho.
