DAMAGE SUITS
FARMERS AROUND LAKE IRA
VERSE FIGURE LOSSES AT
MILLION DOLLARS.

White Rock, Dec. 6.-Preliminary
steps were taken here the forepart of
the week in million dollar damage
suit against the state of Minnesota,
TO be brought by farmers of north
eastern South Dakota, southeastern
North Dakota and adjoining counties
In Minnesota, who suffered severe
loss to their crops this year because
of flooding of state bitches running
into Lake Traverse on the Minnesota
side
At this meeting committees were
appointed to make list of all claims
involved, and to report at meeting
TO be held at Fairmont, n. d. today,
when more definite plans will be for
mulated.
Not only has there been an enor-
nous crop damage sustained during
the last year from the flooding of
these state bitches, but thousands of
acres of land have been practically
confiscated, and it was the prevailing
opinion among those present that the
state of Minnesota can be compelled
to reimburse the farmers for this
loss.
The full amount of the crop loss
cannot be as yet determined. but it
will run into five II not six figures
The loss 10 the land in case prevail
ing conditions are not remedied. will
reach upwards of $1,00O,000.
Several large drainage propositions
are also in contemplation this year in
Grant county, South Dakota, and this
matter will likewise be brought up at
the meeting held at Fairmont
