WILL PUSH BIG
DRAINAGE PLAN
WORK TO BE RESUMED ON JIM
RIVER VALLEY PROJECT IN
BROWN COUNTY.

Pierre, April 12.-The work of
surveying the balance of the Jim riv-
er drainage basin, which was left in
complete last fall on account of cold
weather, is under way, and the por-
ton of southern Brown county which
was covered in last years work Is
being looked after as rapidly as pos
sible with the present condition of a
portion of it being covered with wa
ter lent from the overflow earlier in
the season.
The engineering crew will COM
plete this portion of the Jim river
basin before going over into the
Sioux valley.
The work of plating the Jim riv-
er was started at the mouth of the
stream and worked to the north line
of the state. But the work on the
Sioux river valley will start at the
headwaters of that stream and work
down the valley to the point where 1t
reaches the Iowa line. From that
point on the work could only be car
ried on with joint action with Iowa
to make it effective.
The engineers in charge expect TO
complete their work early the COM
ing fall. and to be ready to make O
report to the next legislative session.
The plan contemplates some kind
of definite action on the part of the
next session for establishment OF
drainge systems which will cover the
whole watershed of either valley.
One of the plans of the engineer
ing work is to secure levees which
will show whether or not 1t would
be practical to add Lakes Preston,
Whitewood an dThompson to stor-
age basin for flood waters of the
Sioux, which have already been turn
ed into Lake Poinsett, to assist in
storage of flood waters when the
Sioux is swollen.
If theN levels make such plan
practical, it is possible that Lake
Preston will soon be the center OF a
lake region instead of being practic-
ally surrounded by the swamps OF
what were good-sized lakes when the
prairie sod turned the rainfall into
their basins instead of the rain being
taken up by cultivated lands.
