WILL CONSTRUCT dam
ON GARRISON CREEK
IRRIGATED CROPS IN THAT SEc'
TON HAVE SHOWN UP
REMARKABLY WELL
Many Other irrigation Projects arc
Being Planned For the Coming Year
and Many Ranchers are Interested

State Engineer Atkinson has re-
turned from several days absence on
the old Fort Stevenson reservation
southwest of Garrison. While there
the state engineer surveyed and laid
out large dam which will be con-
structed by the Burns Brothers, who
own about 1900 acres of land on the
Missouri river bottom. This dam
which the Burns brothers are to con-
struct is on Garrison creek, and WILL
be the largest reservoir so far con-
structed in the state for irrigation pur
poses. The dam will be OF earth
rip-rapped with rock, with concrete
spi1l-way and will be six hundred feet
long and fifteen feet high and will
hold about 26,0O0,000 gallons of water.
The water which will be impounded
in the reservoir by the construction
of this dam will be used for irrigation
of the potion lands above referred
to.
The state engineer reports that the
irrigated crops on the Kopenhaver
ranch have shown up remarkably
we'll this year, and so well pleased are
the owners of this ranch with the re
suits obtained that they are enlargine
their dam and improving their spill
way and increasing the number o1
their bitches, so that next year they
expect to irrigat six hundred to eight
hundred acres.
The Buscha's, who own the land or
the site of the old Fort buildings, are
purchasing equipment for pumping
from Douglas creek and expect tt
irrigate at least two hundred acres
next year and eventually will irrigate
about six hundred acres. All this
bottom land is very fertile and with
the addition of a small amount of If
rigation water the land will produce
most bountifully.
Geo. w. Gregg is also contemplat
ing irrigating one hundred and sixty
acres of land within the next year.
Mr.. B. H. Burell, expert highway
engineer from the Office of public
roads at Washington, arrived in Bis

sition. Mr.. Burrell will remain
throughout the exposition and will
demonstrate the good roads construc
ton as shown by the models, and will
also deliver addresses at the farmers
meetings on goo. roads subjects.

INTERESTED IN Jewish
IMMIGRATION COLONIES
TWO OFFICERS or BIG oRcANi.
ZATioN ARE VISITING THE
CAPITAL CITY
Society Has Colony In Mcintosh coun.
ty and Another In Northeastern Sec.
ton Of 9urIeieh County.

Gabriel Davidson Of New York City,
representative of the Jewish National
Agricultural and Industrial Aid Soci-
ETY., and Joseph B1anstem, the North
Dakota representative, have been in
the city couple of days.
In conversation last night at the
Grand Pacific hotel, Mr.. Davidson said
the society did not seek publicity in
it's work and he disliked to talk for
publication, but the objects of the
society are what its name implies.
The organization was formed for
the purpose of leading the mind of the
American Jew away from merchan.
dizing and into other pursuits. The
Jewish people are not given to, till
ing the soil as a rule, and hesitate to
enter what is known as industrial
life. but under the counsel and influ-
ence of this society there are many
now engaged in agricultural pursuits.
1--WE have our people scattered all
over North Dakota" said Mr.. David
son, land they are in fairly prosper
Gus condition. Probably the greatest
number are in Mcintosh and Burleigh
countless, but there are some in Bow
man, Mckenzie and other counties.
Our society is not a colonization or
ganization." declared Mr.. Davidson
when questioned an this point. I'VE
are glad to locate families in the
West and assist them whenever we
can, but no colonies are being estab.
lished. The crowded condition of
the great cities has shown the need
of larger field of endeavor for our
people and farm life in the west of.
fers the best solution"
While the Jewish people are in
clined to be clannish in the big cities,
they show no particular desire to con-
gregate in the country and as con-
sequence Jewish families are located
here and there according to convent
ence and opportunity.
The National Aid Society helps the
poor to reach the West when employ.
ment on the farm is what one cares
to make It. And after they are To-
Gated the society keeps a watchful
eye on them and furnishes aid where
aid is found to be needed. It is for
the purpose of making an investiga-
tion and studying conditions that Mr..
Davidson is making a tour of the
state. He will then report his find
ings to the national society, and that
will take such steps in
the way Of aid and relief as is deemed
advisable.

A STUDY IN WOOL

President Taft has been giving out
some tariff pointers. He may get i1
ahead of Mr. Bryan but he is not like
ly to head the Nebraskan of.
The latest notice Mr.. Bryan has
served on his party is very interesting
He is opposed to the prevailing brand
of harmony. In his opinion it masks
surrender of principles. 1t should
be broken up. He has set himself
that task. Get ready, everybody who
has not surrendered, or regrets the
transaction if he has, and is willing
to undo it.
The duty on wool is mentioned.
Well, Mr. Bryan will have his chance
on that when Congress reassembles.
He was taken by surprise last spring.
Almost before he knew what was TO-
ing on duty on raw wool was agreed
to by the democrats of the house. His
protest came too late. Mr.. Under
wood proved too much for him. And
never been an opportunist, but has al
way, but aroused the applause of the
house when he denounced Mr.. Bryan
in open debate. Not single Bryanite
withheld his handicap.
But what was then done came to
nothing. The president killed it with
veto. The matter must be taken up
again, and then, Mr.. Bryan we'll pre-.
pared, will have to be reckoned with.
What will Mr.. Underwood do? He
is committed to duty on raw wool.
Will he stand to his guns at the regu.
lar session and again insist on a
wool duty? Or will he switch back
to the cid cry of free raw materials?
The president, in his recommended
tions, is likely to ask for wool duty,
and fortify his request with figures
of the tariff board.
If Mr.. Underwood again urges
wool duty, the contest between him
and the president will be one of rates
rather than of principles. Both will
be occupying protection ground. How
much duty will satisfy Mr.. Under
wood? How much the president?
Mr.. Bryan may prepare for some
sharp responses; he will be pictured
afresh as boss and marplot; be told
that he is an migrate; be reminded of
what his party has done for him; be
warned that if the party loses next
years battle the result will be charg.
ed up to him and his name become
odius where it has been held in
honor.
But, as a matter of fact, Mr.. Bryan
has taken no new position. He has
never been an oportunist, but has al.
ways declared that the democracy
could not and should not win unless
upon an outspoken and consistent
course. He has always insisted that
a victory obtained in any other way
