work
These and other citizens Of Bsfnes,
Wells, Benson, Nelson and EDDY COIN
ties readily see the numerous advan-
tages to be found in forming large
and fairly permanent water bodies
along the river where the damage
would not be excessive. While not
directly interested in flood control in
the Red River. valley, they are inter
ested in the construction Of the dams
that will afford relief to from three.
to eight million acres in that section,
and incidentally produce much water
power.
The cooperative work started by
the Lisbon Commercial club and other
leading business men OF that city has.
been carried up the Sheyenne by the
Valley City, Sheyenne and Pekin Com

much value for power will be in the.

River valley.
While the water to be stored as Tar
up the Sheyenne as Eddy county is
/, much less than in Ransom county, it
is sufficient to be Of much value, and
! the narrow deep valley affords excel
lent chance for high dams with re1a-
lively small damage to farm land The
land affected would largely be hay
land. For the. most part the river
runs in narrow deep gorge. In ad-
of water would afford chance for boat

killed each year, would be supplied
with ample water. Several large
dams can be built in the upper hun

Nothing on the farm is more i'm
portant or more valuable than pure
water Bad or impure water is more
dangerous than the deadliest poison
and always affects those who drink it.
Wells are polluted by organic mat
ter getting into them This matte
comes from human beings or from an.
mails, and is always bad for those who
drink it, II it comes from a case OF
typhoid, or from a person who carries
typhoid germs, and gets into the well,
it will produce typhoid fever in those
who drink it. This matter gets into
the wells usually through cracks in
the top of the well, through soiling the
bucket by touching it with dirty hands
or setting it ON dirty floor or through
holes in the top Of the veIi
To be sure that the well is good and
that dangerous material is kept out,
the following things must be true:
l. The well wust be not less than
Is feet deep. AS general PROPOSE,
! ton, the deeper the better. sN
2. The top must be sound and tight
] so that no water which falls on it can
drip back into the well.
! 3. The we'll should be provided
with a pump or with bucket which
empties itself and does not have to be
touched The double bucket is always
dangerous
I; 4. The ground Immediately around
the well should be sloped up to the
well and banked with clay or covered
with cement, 50 that ali water spilled
around the well will run of anI no:
trickle back.
5. The well should be cased with
brick or terra Gotta pipe and the space
back Of the casing filed with sand.
i s. A spring in limestone countr,
cannot be so protected as to make i
perfectly sure that it does not come
from underground streams at place
far from the well.
:; 7. The spring should be SO protect
ed that water can not wash into j
from the hillside above or from TIL
platform below. This is best done b.
cementing or stoning the curbing a
z least a foot above the ground al
around and putting in a pire for tn
overflow. All water should then b.
i drawn from the overflow pipe, and no
