Will Divert Waters Of
the Missouri River

Pierre.-H. C. Barlow of Presho Is
urging his plan for the construction
of a storage dam at the mouth of the
Yellowstone river, and a drainage plan
to extend from that point in south.
easterly direction to empty into White
river not far from the mouth of that
stream. His plan looks so strongly in
his ideas Of conservation that he has
asked the people of western South Da.
ko+a to meet him at the court house
in Fort Pierre for the purpose of form
ing preliminary organization for Sc.
curing this Improvement. His call
goes into the details of his plan, which
has for its purpose the spreading OF
surplus water of the Missouri rive,
over the plains of western South Da
kota, and at the same time holding
back that much of the water which
works havoc and SO many millions OF
dollars Of loss every year on the low
er Mississippi section of the country
Mr.. Barlow does not look upon his
plan as an easy proposition to carry
out so far as the financial features are
concerned, but insists that it is en-
tirely feasible so far as the physical
features are concerned, as such {
ditch would have fall of about two
feet to the mile, and would supply wa
ter to an immense scope of country
In which irrigation can be used to aG
vontage for most of the years. His
call for next Tuesday is backed by the
commercial clubs of Presho and Fort
Pierre, who are willing to assist In
the movement all along the line, bot
preliminary and permanent.
