Mr.. Atkinson, state engineer,
was seen by representative Of the
Leader today and talked very en-
thusiasticaly concerning the Wash
burn Wilton Irrigation Project,
and the value of irrigation to the
individual farmer and to the state
Among other things he stated as
follows: Il am pleased to note
the interest shown by the farmers
and land owners in the promotion
of the Washburn- Wilton Irrigation
Project. The fact that practically
all of the resident owners of these
lands have taken stock in the Wa
ter Users Association for the full
amount Zone hundred and sixty
shares) which they are allowed to
hold under the Reclamation Act,
and those having an excess OF one
hundred and sixty acres under the
project have signed contract with
the Water Users Association to
dispose of their excess holdings
prior to the time the water is ap-
piled to their lands, shows that
they realize the value Of irrigation
in North Dakota. The lively in
terest they are showing will go far
towards inducing the Reclamation
service to begin final surveys early
Il hope we shall see the govern
ment engineers here within very
few months.
THAT irrigation is successful in
North Dakota is no longer doubted

CAN'T AGREE
ON WHERE TO
DIVIDE COUNTY
A Number Of Plans are Spoken Of
Difference Of Opinion Seems
to Have Muddled Things.

Pursuant to call meeting in
the interest of county division was
held at McClusky yesterday, at
which every portion of the county
was supposed to be represented.
But reports from there are to the
effect that the western delegates
were principally conspicuous by
their absence. H. Freitag of Max
presided and Theo. Landmann Of
Washburn acted as secretary, and
the eastern portion was we'll repre-
sented. We understand that there
was a wide divergence Of opinion
as to what plan should be adopted,
or where the dividing line would
be, and that after much discussion
it was resolved to call another
meeting two weeks later, to be held
at Turtle Lake, at which it is hoped
to have greater representation
from this side Of the county.
1t seems that number Of plans
are under consideration. One it is
said proposes to divide the county
between ranges 81 and 80, and an
other between 78 and 49, 1t looks
like the first proposition would
have hard Shedding, for it would
meet with opposition almost solid
from Wilton to Max. From reports
Of this meeting it would appear
that our eastern brethren are la
boring under the delusion that all
they have to do is to fix on what
they want, and they would get it.
However. there are many things to
be taken into consideration. One
is the expense of supporting two
county governments, and whether
it is good time to take that on
now during the tight times. Many
persons think not. Another is the
future development of the county,
where the people come to take
up their abode, and where they
would be best served by county
seat, and what additional railroad
building might develop in the way
of more towns.
Taken as a whole the prospect
for county division now is not
