GOOD PROGRESS IS

The dam site and the part Of the dam
that had been built were considered
too good 10 abandon and engineers
united In saying that repairs could
be made which would make tho pro-
ject again perfect one. The repair
work has been going on under con-
siderable difficulty but steady prog
ress has been made nevertheless, and
the prospects now are bright that be-
fore many more months the indians
will be irrigating their LANDS and
raising crops as before the flood. The
lunis have raised good crops since
the dam was put out OF commission,

under cultivation. corn. pumpkins
