Manager StrattOn Details Work Done
During Month-NelsOn Reser-

April weather for a large part of
the month was favorable. The tenn
perature was below normal and pre-
cipitation about normal. Snowstorms
interfered with construction, operating
and maintenance, and farming work
at the beginning and end of the month.
Seeding was nearly completed. Win
ter grains were looking we'll, and so
far as known no winter killing of al
falfa occurred. Labor was plentiful
and scale of wages considerably be-
low that of last year. Water supply
in the Milk River was ample.
Surveys.-Farm unit and lateral ex-
tension surveys were continued.
Construction by contract.-Lodging
house at Saco completed. One earth
work contractor resumed work and
make good progress. Specifications
were opened and three contracts let
for e%arthwork on lateral extensions.
One proposal was opened and contract
let for small structures, and the O n
tractor commenced work the latter
part of the month in the vicinity of
Nashua, Montana. On the 29th bids
were opened for enlargement of Mel
son Reservoir from $500 to 10000
acre-feet capacity. The low bid of nine
received was that of White, Brokn &
Leahy Co., Great Falls, Mont, at about
$4,000.

COMET WILL GIVE MORE
SUNSHINE SAY SHARKS

London, June 3. Recent solar erup
tons which caused brilliant auroras
mad disorganized cable and telegraph
service throughout the world may re-
suit in the earth receiving an inc
reased quota of sunshine during the
remainder of the year, says Sir Oliver
Lodge, the noted scientist.
He ventured the opinion that the
electrified particles thrown off by the
sun during the disturbance may assist
in the development of vegetation and
reduce the amount of dust held sus-
pended in the atmosphere.
Sir Oliver said the magnetic dis
turbances that attended the solar
eruption were due to a torrent of cleo
trified particles, which constituted a
gigantic electric current. This opin-
ion is also held by Camille Flammar-
ion, the veteran French astronomer,
who has expressed surprise at a storm
of such unusual violence occurring at
this time.

-Twenty-four miles of operation and
maintenance roads were built, 100
guard posts set at briggs, and a num-
Der of checks, drops, wooden turnouts,

tive dip.
Operations and maintenance.-Drag
line operations, one shift per day,
were commenced on the 18th, and
$3.50 linear feet or 1920 yards of the
Dodson North Canal cleaned. A team
crew was organized for cleaning the
l~aterals on the Vandalia division on
the 25th, and continued the balance of
the month. The work of burning
weeds, ETC., for putting the canals in
shape for the seasons operations was
done, the Dodson North, Dodson South,
and Vandalia Canals were put in COM
mission, and the first water delivered
to users on April II. Forty-six water
rental applications were received and
eight deliveries made; 1890 acre-feet
of water were delivered to Nelson Res

April Is.
