lfrigators Meet
For Consultation

Fl. A. Steers, electrical engineer
for the United States reclamation
service in North Dakota, Geo. e.
Strathon, project engineer in char
ge of the surveys on the Washburn
and Oliver projects, and Carl D.
Smith. geologist, in the United
States geological survey. were in
the city Monday in consultation
with State engineer Atkinson. con-
cerning the construction of several
North Dakota projects now under
way.
Working surveys on the Wash
burn and Oliver. projects which
have been under way since August
LIST. are now practically complete
and the detail construction plans
will be worked up i'll this city this
winter. Mr.. Smith, the geologist,
has been making examinations for
coal along the Missouri river in
North Dakota to determine the
most available deposits for use on
the various projects under survey
and on other projects on which
Preliminary surveys have been
made by the state engineer.
Mr.. Smith left for Washington
G. c., on No. this morning where
he will make up his report whioh h
will show in detail the location anu
thickness of different seams dis
covered.
Mr.. Steers is returning from the
east where he has been looking up
machinery for use on the extention
of the Wllliston and Buford pro-
jects which will be forwarded
Immediately it having been demon
strated this season to the satisfac-
tion of the settlers under these two
pumping projects that irrigation
on the Missouri river bottoms is
not only practical but very re-
munerative as we'll.
Working surveys have also been
made on the Bowman project To-
Gated on the Grand river in Bow
man county by w. A. Stebbins.
The project is declared to be one
of the best projects in North
Dakota and the settlers there are
very anxious for the work to go
forward. There is apparently
nothing in the way of it's con-
struction. Mr.. Atkinson states
that up to the present date there
has been credited to the reclama-
ton fund from the sale of public
lands in North Dakota, the sum of
%,375,OOO. OF this amount only
81, 1915, 600 has been expended on
North Dakota projects, SO that
there is now 100000 in this
fund to our credit to be expended
on North Dakota projects If the
reclamation service is shown that
the, neonle desire the construction
of the works.
Now that the practicability of
irrigation by pumping from the
Missouri river has been clearly
demonstrated it is expected that
the construction of all the Missouri
river projects will go forward as
fast as they can be reached

the county seat is the one that
cuts the ice!
Reports are to the effect that
the vote on county division will be
very close, but that movement will
undoubtedly carry.
In the last issue Of our paper ii
was stated that the division carried
by about $50 votes. This state
nent was based on reports from
about 30 precincts, and from peo-
pie who were in position to know
and as even those who were not in
favor Of the movement conceded
it had carried we were led to be-
lieve that the statement was
authentic. However. at the time
of going to press, it has been re-
ported that our figures We're ex-
aggregated and that the county
division movement is but 30 votes
ih the lead with seven precincts to
hear from. Ii county division
does not carry, tie on your hair for
