projects of the Reclamation Service is
located. in the extreme western part Of
North Dakota, where the engineers are
constructing works for liftinglwater from
the Missouri river by means of pumps
instead of taking it out by gravity. ~.
The Missouri river has a habit Of con-
stantly cutting its banks and changing
its channel, 70 that it would be impos-
sible to locate any structure for:.Ithe d.
Fversionsof water by gravity unless enor-
nous expense were incurred to protect
II fromsthessscour of the stream; more
over, is grade is so fiat that any gravity
canalswould be Of prohibitive length.
Fortunately. large beds Of Ignite were
discovered il the vicinity, afording
cheap fuel. and the engineers Conceived
the plan Of building a power house at
the coal mines and conveying the; power
by electric conduits 70 the river. Their
:iingenuitydid not cease heres Instead of
the costly works required to protect the
banks the pumps will Be located onfloat-
ing bt,aarges. which will accommodate
themselves 70 changes in the channel
sandin.t the water level.
The water will be delivered through
pipes with flexible joints into several
basins located at sufficient distance from
the. shore to be safe from e~ncroachment
BY the shifting river. From these basins
the the water will be pumped into canals to
the irrigable lands. These basins
will also serve for the purpose Of settling
the silt, large quantities Of which are
carried in solution by the Missouri river.
During the winter season the barges will
be drawn out Of the water and hauled to
points where they will be safe from ice
gorges and Nd sudden freshets and the
basins can be cleaned out.
About 1900 acres in the Muddy Val.

water from this system. The bottom
