and Congressman Candy, of Rapid
City, In the order named, ell OF whose
remarks we're we'll received and very
Instructive.
Mr.. Martin in his talk gave a great
deal of interesting data regarding the
project for he has given it much at
tention and helped during his incum-
bency as congressman from this dis.
trict to bring it to the attention of the
proper government officials.
Congressman Candy put himself on
record as being very much In favor Of
the project and has already gone into
the matter In detail. He stated that
South Dakota under the present Unit
cd States law was the logical one to re-
ceive the next irrigation benefit and
that this project was the first IL not the
only one at this time under consider
ation by the reclamation department.
He also impressed on his hearers the
necessity of passing an irrigation am
mendment which will be submitted
next fall In the state election.
Colonel Matteson gave q short re-
sumo on his government experience
and stated that from HE experience
that the initial appropriation WAS al
ways he entering wedge in any big
work taken up by the gove
Mr.. Kelso gave short and interest
ing report Of the aft Airs at the expert
ment farm Laying PARTICULAR stress on
the fact thaa along with farming, dairy
ing and stock raising should not be ne
elected In this country and voiced q
hope that the government would per-
nit him to experiment in these lines.

much in evidence on Sunday morning
when the following party in seven oars
started for the big dam site and gaging
station at the Cheyenne Narrows seven
miles south east of Cascade: DR.. C.
w. Hargene, Congressman Candy, p.
F. Ward, O. 8. Eastman, g. A. Turn

u. o. whsley, J. g. Keith, w. A. War

Harrison, Master Dick and Miss Vir-
ginie Wilcox.
At the Noerenberg and Moeller
ranches Fred Noerenberg and Herman
Moeller joined the party and from
there continued on to the dam sight.
This was not alone a revelation to Con-
gressman Candy but to practically
every member Of the party, most Of
whom had not up to this time visited
the site. To say that it is an ideal one
is only varyfying the opinion of the
state engineer and the government Of
ficisls who have already visited it. The
ease and comparatively email cost Of
building the dam ia easily apparent.
The government gsging station was
next visited and explained by Mr.,
Noerenberg who has charge of this
work. His report for the year ending
September 30th is herewith submitted:
