FLOODS COULD
BE CONTROLLED

Fargo, N. D., April 2S-FIOOd loss
I Sc in North and South Dakota and
Minnesota which have run into mil
lions could be controlled by a huge
dam at Lake Traverse, at Lake Te-
Iwaukon, improvements in the Red
River channel extending thirty miles
Into Canada, and three reservoirs on
the Sheyenne. These are the conclu-
sions of federal engineers and State
Engineers Herbert Hard and Sorlie
after surveys covering five years. Re-
ports Of the work have been complet-
ed and are on file together with blue
prints and maps.
The federal estimate on the Lake
Traverse project is S1,400,000; on the
Red River S4,O00,OO0. These esti-
mates, however were made during the
war. State Engineer Hard thinks
they can be reduced one-third. The
federal survey cost $4,000 whereas
the states spent $45,0O0. Financing
of the projects, the federal report
states, can be best undertaken by Sc
curing in North Dakota the same
"district law" as prevails in Minneso-
ia and North Dakota. This permits
North Dakota affected areas to unite
with similar areas in the other two
states for construction. Engineers
points out that this would result in
systmatic construction and co-ordin-
ated unit system of management, af-
fording a sound businss basis of fin
ancing by assessments or bond issue.
Federal plans provide for a dam at
the outlet of Lake Traverse dying be-
tween Minnesota and South Dakota
Just south of the North Dakota line)
which would impound ID billion cubit
feet of water. The works would con-
sist of a dam sixteen feet high and 2
3-4 miles long near White Rock, S.
d.; barrier dam at the south end of
Lake Traverse; a large ditch or ca
nal to give the Boise de Sioux def
lIllLc ducyudIS CIlSaIAIlcl.1'
For control of the Wild Rice, State
Engineer Hard recommends small
dam at the outlet of Lake Tewaukon
in Sargent county. Designs submit
ted would cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. .~
| To control the Sheyenne which has
caused flood losses in 1882, 1897, and
1916, Mr.. Hard recommends alternate
+ plans for reservoirs at several of the
available damsites located, one, ten
miles north of Valley City, one near
Sheyenne, and combination reser-
voir for various purposes at Harvey.
The dams proposed are to be Of
earth filled with great mass, gentle
slopes, a puddled clay core and con-
crete controlling works and spillway.
Taking as an example the plans of
the dam ten miles above Valley City
designs were made for alternate dam
heights of so and 60 feet. The valley
floor is here at an elevation of 1889
feet above the sea level. A so foot
dam with spillway create an eleva-
ton of 1880 feet will contain over
$4,000 cubic yards Of earth and with
it's concrete culverts, spillway, etc.,
will cost $344,134 exclusive Of land
cost and damage. This will give ca
pacity of about billion cubic feet
of water, and, based on available data
will afford relief from floods for the
lower Sheyenne and Red Rivers.

EYE CONSERVATION
BEING SOUGHT

Eye conservation is being carried
into schools and industries sSof North
Dakota as part Of the national cam
paign by the Eyesight Conservation
Council of America to protect the
health Of Americas millions of school
children and industrial workers. This
movement is largely the outcome Of
revelations Of huge waste through de-
fective vision made by Herbert Hoov-
ers Committee on Elimination of
Waste in Industry of the American
Engineering Council. L. W.. Wallace,
executive secretary Of the Federated
American Engineering Societies, will
have general control of the eye cam
paign in all parts of the country. He
has just been chosen president of the
Eyesight Conservation Council.
Guy A. Henry of New York has
been appointed General Director, and,
from central headquarters in New
York, will be in active charge Of the
crusade in all parts Of the country.
The United States Department of Ed
ucation, schools, industries, the pro-
fessions, and the colleges, including
Teachers College, Columbia Universi-
tvs great training school for teachers
will cooperate.
The engineering waste committee
found that about 25,000,0O0 American
workers have defective vision requir-
ing correction, and that many thou
sand eye accidents can be prevented
each year by the application of proved
remedial methods. A chief aim of the
eye campaign is to save as many lives
next year as it possibly can, and thus,
according to Mr.. Wallace, increase
the quality and quantity Of production
III America nindustry and contribute
to larger sum total of happiness"

In statement to all North Dakota
school officials the Eyesight Conser-
walton Council said:
effort is being made to improve
the moral and physical conditions of
our boys and girls that they may be-
come healthy and efficient men and
women. ..a
1T is Of vital importance that the
conservation of eyesight should be-
gin with school children. Out of a.
100000 school children in the United
States not more than third receive
reasonably adequate tests of vision
and not more than third of those
who are tested have the defects of
vision properly corrected.
'It is necessary that teachers be
impressed with the Importance of eye
care and pay particular attention to
the way pupils use their eyes. The
universal care of children's eyes is an
obligation which educators, school Of
ficials, superintendents, principals and
teachers owe to the school, to the
community, to the state, and to the
nation" .....

FIRE and BURGLARY PROTECTION

d
Our tenants had no cause for worry and did
not worry, during the recent fire which destroyed
the building adjoining us on the south. They
knew our building is fire proof and that damage
to their property, other than smoke damage, was
impossible.
Our customers shared the same feeling of
safety, including those having safety deposit
boxes in our burglar proof vault. Their valuable
papers were absolutely safe, having the same pro-
lection from fire and burglary as the cash, notes ,
and other investments owned by the bank itself
WE ALL FELT ABSOLUTELY SAFE knowing
that after the fire our business would 90 on as
usual
We still have few safety deposit boxes for
rent at a cost less than one cent day. Bring in
your valuable papers today, rent box, and thus
get the benefit of this protection which can only be
obtained in vault and building Of high grade
quality like ours

THE FIELDS CANDIDACY

1t is now believed that the real
Republican leaders of the State will
allow the Fields movement to patter
itself out. They. have all recognized
that Fields. connected as he is with
the great Kansas Publishing Trust,
must he allowed to finish himself. He
has never done anything for the Re
publicans-nor for anybody, in fact,
except himself. But it is a good year
for Fields to run for Governor. No
body expects the Republicans to win
this year, especially in a Democratic
State like Oklahoma. and it may be
very good judgment on the part of the
Republican leaders to just allow
Fields to scratch along and when he
takes the count in November his page
will be all written and his part in
public affairs matter of the past

SEAT OF JOHNSTON COUNTY

In special election in Johnston
county Monday, wherein Milburn
tried to wrest the county seat from
Tishomingo. Tishomingo received
more than twice the votes polled for
Milburn. In order to win Milburn
had to receive two-third| of the votes.
and actually did receive less than one
third. not reaching the halfway mark
in the voting. This is the second time
Milburn has tried for the county seat.
and a hot and bitter campaign was
waged by the two towns, which some
times brought out bitter personali-
ties.
The election was held by citizens of
three adjoining counties, who were
appointed specially for the work by
the Governor. Several prominent
Durant citizens aided in holding the
elections.
