ATNNS0N'S REPORT TO THE
GOVERNOR ON MOUSE RIVER
DRAINAGE INTO DEVILS LAKE

and in addition would food about
mile Of the Northern Pacific railway
where it crosses the valley.
From careful records kept by Prof
Chandler Of the run off of the Mouse
river at Minot for years 1908 to 1915
inclusive, it is shown that the annual
flow of the Mouse river at this point
averages 10000 acre-feet, an acre foot
beng the amount of water necessary to
cover one acre one foot deep, and it is
estimated that, to maintain Devils Lake
at it's present elevation it will require
a Glitch fourteen feet wide vn the bot
tom and carrying water six feet de,;,
with GRADE line of six inches to the
mile.
Cost Will Be 81, ,663,OOO.
From tbs sheyenne reser,c;r the
water worL: lie taken to the lave BY Il
ditch through one of the coulces which
evidently in past ages drained Devils
lake into this river. The estimated
cost Of the construction Of the bitches
and dams necessary for diversion
works carrying sufficient water to main
tain the lake at it's present level is
81 ,6G3, 900.
The report further shows that to
deliver sufficient water to the lake to
bring it to it's elevation of 1439 which
was the elevation in the, year 1879
| would require an additional diversion
of $4,000 acrc-feet and with this diver.
sion it would take several years to re.
store the lake to the elevation above
mentioned. The diversion of this
amount Of water would require ditch
with a twenty-six foot bottom and with
grade line two feet lower that undo,
the former plan and the estimated cost
would be $2,O42,O00.
Could Irrigate 100000 Acres.
The report also shows that there is
sufficient annual flow Of the river tt
provide irrigation for 100000 acres ot
| land north and east of the mouth Of
Wintering creek and on lands ada
cent to the Oberon-E -Esmand branch O.

An Appeal to the Good Officers Of
Lincoln County

Inasmuch as the moral status of
our community has been greatly i'm
paired by certain immoral practices,
for instance the seduction of the
young-even young-girls under IL
years of age, and the seeming re-
ticence on the part of some of the
parents in this matter, we, as those
who love good and moral things al
ways, hereby make protest and ask
the support of the humane officials
and people of this county.
We furthermore like to ask the
proper authorities, why the Sunday
law is not enforced heref For we
greatly desire peace and quietude on
our Sabbath days. II is no uncom-
mon thing to have our slumbers
broken by wild yell, cursing and
swearing or pistol shots on Sunday
evenings. We do not think this is
done by good moral citizens, but it
Is done by people who have been
somewhere loading on booze. Now
the question is:--Where is this
booze" obtainedg Is this drink got
ten through the "Club"9 Or are
there open saloons in our communi-
ty9 If it is gotten this way we want
1t understood. that we as law abid-
ing citizens do not want these things
to go on under the very shadows of
our three churches here.

tor of Catholic church.

Some Of Ireland's Good Work.

The Warsaw Independent in
speaking OF the success of the Gal
latin county teachers institute last
week said:
The chief reason for the good re-
suits obtained resided in the fact
that the Instructor, Of the Institute
Prof. j. W. Ireland, is an intensely
practical man. He gave to the
teachers the benefit of practical
ideas which he had found good in
ms own career as a teacher. He
advanced no untried theories which
often, when tried, prove to be moth
ing save fallacies. Rather did he
advocate the value of those things
which he, in practice, had found
good and desirable aids to the eff
,cency of the teacher and that pecu-
liar appropriative, as well as percep-
tive, faculty of the pupil.
