Engineer Hard reports that large
ditching plans are progressing in
Sargent county involving several
hundred thousand dollars. Heavy
rains, he asserts, have submerged
many of the valleys prevalent in the
county, putting much valuable land
out of use. Sargent county's good
crop this year makes the people am
bilious to dig bitches. The water
from these must be stored and con-
trolled that it may not add more
acres to the millions Of finest Red

for years, three years at the least,

Government. Offers Aid.
The government has agreed to
give immediate attention to the
White Rock dam to make a reservoir
on Lake Traverse and a canal from
this to Wahpeton through the Bots
de Sioux. This will permit construc-
ton work to be rushed on these
projects this fall by the states and
relief will come to several hundred
thousands of acres in North Dakota
and a like amount in Minnesota.
The benefits, of course, will be de-
rived next spring il the work is
started at once and the saving in
Richland county alone will be over
SO, 600. 900 or twice the amount in
volved in the tFi-state damage suit
now pending against Minnesota in
the United States supreme court.
The states are fortunate, in the
opinion of Engineer Hard, in secur-
ing the federal aid which il follow
ed up by actual ditch, canal and dam
construction will relieve the condi-
ton which has for three years kept
untitled fifty per cent of the valley
south of Fargo. In the present
drouth, few realize the enormous
annual loss from surplus water in
the spring of the year.
Millions of dollars have been spent
in big bitches in Minnesota resulting
in dumping into the small channel of
the Red and the Bots de Sioux vast
flood waters in a few hours that for
merly required weeks to come down.

nesota have been rapidly organizing

VALLEY LANDS ARE
 IN LARGE DEMAND

MESA, Aug. 13.-Secretary Evans if the Mesa Commercial Club reports hat a number of inquiries as to Salt River valley lands are being received each week. It appears that the profit .ble prices which have been and will De received this year for farm pro- ducts are the cause of the turning of many longing eyes in the direction of the lands lying under the Roosevelt lam. It has been thought by citizens generally that the war would stop all immigration to this section, at least during the time of it's duration, but Ill spring the real estate men have been busy and great many sales have been made. One prominent rancher turned down S2O0 per acre for his and just the other day MT. Evans is 1t present engaged in getting out a

For two days the doctor worked and watched the others until he came to the con- clusion that he was distressingly healthy, diagnosis that was concur red in by his brother physicians, and TOW he is on the list. Dr. Stoner has a rea sonablc objection to being draft cd into the service just now viz, that bill is before congress asking that osteopaths be placed as doctors at the front, and in case this bill passes, he feels that he can do his country better service in his profession than as a private soldier.
