THE TIMES
DRAINAGE BOARD
MEETS SATURDAY

The Tri-State Drainage Board
met at Wheaton, Mimi, Monday
and Irwin L. Streeter of this city,
enc of the members of the North
Dakota Board was present. In an
interview with Mr.. Streeter he
said:
"Last week returned from Wash
ington, D. c., where Mr.. Sorlie of
Grand Forks and myself had been
in conference with the war depart
ment in regard to the handling of
the surplus waters of the Red river
and Red Lake river, which are
under the control of the war de-
Partment. The rest of the rivers
and lakes in the Tri-State drainage
board hands are separate, but they
will come right along with this
proposition, as they 60 hand in
hand.
eve went to Washington, d.
c., with the proposition of putting
the conservation and the handling
of these flood waters on the above
mentioned rivers through congress
with the aid of the War depart
ment as an emergency act, and
have congress through this depart
ment appropriate money for the
handling of this proposition.
While in Washington we in
terviewed the different senators
and representatives from North
and South Dakota, and Senator
Nelson and Representative Steen-
erson of Minnesota. They thought
that this was the right way to get
at it and encouraged us a great
deal.
"Before going to War depart.
ment we went to the Agricultural
department and they told us that
us that they could only help
us survey this and furnish engi-
n!eers, and that we had better 60
to the War department..
"War department was fair and
square with us and told us to get
the proper plans and plats of the
locations of the dams and locks,
reservoirs and places where dredg-
ing would have to be done and to
submit an estimate of how much
this would be.
"We found while down there
that surveys of this region dated
back as far as 1868. But we have
got to 60 farther than this by get
ting everything ready, so that
when the war department takes
hold of this, they can do so with
out the slightest delay. The de-
rartment thought that they could
get congress to appropriate sum
of money for this work that would
almost enable the work to be done.
But we have got to do our part
first. The outlay in the preliminary
work will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to $4,000
dollars.
At the Wheaton meeting the
South Dakota people stated they
were going to build dykes and locks
on the Bots de Sioux Immediately
which will help hold back the flood
water in the spring and the sum-
mer rains. Mr.. Burrows of
breckenridge who was present had
them defer action until after the
Breckenridge meeting which will
be held Saturday"
