"Devils Lake Red" broke out through

The former convict, who had

States Attorney Thompson thinks
perhaps this booklet aided in bring
ing about Rev. Nights confession,
especially the closing paragraphs:
"But we are all as an unclean
thing and all our righteousness is as
filthy as rags. And we all do fade as

"He that covereth his sin shall
not prosper but whosoever confesseth

And Rev. Hight believed what he
read. For after these passages were
read to him he made a complete con-
fession, telling how he had poisoned
his wife and induced Mrs. Sweetin
to poison her husband, so the two Of
them (the preacher and Mrs. Sweet

FORT LINCOLN
PROJECT TOLD
IN N. D. REPORT
Dam Would Back Up Water
in Apple Greek For Two
Miles, Engineers Say

A description of the proposed dam
marck, near Falconer hill, to create
an artificial lake and irrigate land,
is contained in the report of the
state engineer. The project is ex-
planned as follows:
During June of 1924, at the re-
quest of a number of citizens of Bis
marck, the state engineers office
made survey of dam site on Ap-
quarter of section q, township 1873
north, range 80 west. The purpose
of the survey was to determine the
advisability of creating an artificial
lake near the city of Bismarck for
boating and fishing, and as a posi-
Bile addition to the Bismarck parking
system.
"Thc result of the survey showed
that by the construction of dam
! 500 feet in length and rs feet high,
containing 100000 cubic yards of
earth, a reservoir approximately two
miles long and one mile wide at it's
greatest width could he formed.
''The banks Of the proposed reser-
voir are for the most part steep and
the shore line we'll defined, so that
there will be no unsightly mud flats
visible due to fluctuations in the Wa
ter level of the reservoir.
st is proposed to excavate Il spill
way from the north end Of the dam
site to the lower end Of the Bismarck
flats. The excess water when avail
able may thus be utilized for flood
irrigation on the lower Bismarck
flats. 1t is proposed to utilize the
material excavatcd from the spill
way amounting to $4,000 cubic yards
Of earth, in the construction Of the
dam. The project as outlined is
therefore simply earth excavation
with minor concrete structure to
control the outlet, this structure to
be located at the upper end of the
spillway.
1.-The height of the proposed dam
will be five feet above the extreme
flood height of the Missouri River
at the flood stage Of 1881, or ap-
proximately ten feet above the 1917
flood, backwater in the Missouri riv-
er being the governing feature.
"a lake 8l5 acres in extent will be
formed between the proposed dam
and the section line road running
east from Fort Lincoln. Approx
mately 320 acres more in Section 13
north Of this road will be either
flooded or rendered useless by the
construction of the reservoir.
"The lower Bismarck flats com.
prising about $500 acres could be ir-
rigated by gravity from this reser-
voir. However, the fluctuation in
the lake level due to the use Of the
water for irrigation would be detri-
mental to the primary purposes for
which the project was designed. Ir-
rigation will have to be considered
as secondary feature only, unless
the upper Apple Greek reservoir
mentioned in another part Of this re-
port be constructed.
"The water supply available has
been estimated by d comparison with
the run-off data from ileighboring
streams that have been measured for
the past twenty years. I'm

tained through evaporation over q

COOLIDGE LEAD
CUT SOMEWHAT
IN POLL IN u. s.
President, However, Continues
Far Ahead of Davis and
LaFOllette
G LIFORNIA VOTE

Davis and LaFollette have de-
creased. the proportional lead of
Coolidge in this weeks returns of
The Literary Digest's l5,O0O,OOO vote
presidential poll published today.
Of the 6S9,019 ballots Tailed,
Coolidge has 397,522, Davis 11s.259,
and LaFollette 164,366, which is
percentage gain for both the Demo-
cratic and Progressive candidates
from the earlier returns of The Di-
gcst's poll.
4 Returns from eighteen States are
recorded in the present count show
ing Coolidge leading in every state
except Virginia and Texas, where
Davis is ahead, and Wisconsin,
where LaFollette polls plurality.
The Progressive candidate is run
ming second in eleven Of the cigh-
teen states and Davis is second in
five.
"The first returns" states The
Digest, when the votes stood at
$4,000, gave Coolidge 1901, Davis,
3.7ol, and LaFoliette, 5,596. 1t will
readily be seen that MIR. Davis pre-
sent vote is at much improved
ration.
"In the earliest returns, Mr.. Cool
ldge had between four and five
times as many as his Democratic
opponent. In the present poll Of
6S9,0l9 votes, the Republican cam
didate has only trifle more than
three times as many, very con-
siderable reduction in his proper
tional lead.
Cuts Coolidge Lead
"Mr. LaFollette, also, has cut
down the lead of the President. the
first returns showing the Coolidge
strength at approximately three to
one in LaFollette's case, while the
present report gives somewhat less
than two and one-half to one.
= "Mr. LaFollette's popular vote
continues to be we'll above that reg
istered by Mr.. Davis, but, of course,
on the basis of the returns so far
received, Mr.. Davis would have the
greater number of votes in the
electoral College. Only Wisconsin
is thus far credited to the Wiscon-
sin Senator, with Minnesota, where
he was expected to have consider
able lead, thus far, apparently, safe
in the Republican column.
The state that continues to hold
the center of the stage, however, is
California, where LaFollette has
piled up total of 1926 votes
against the Presidents 45,324. Even
though this shows slight weaken
ing in the LaFollette strength since
The Digest's first printed returns
of 1924 for Coolidge and 1861 for
LaFollette the Wisconsin candi-
:. dates. apparent strength continues
to surprise those political prophets
who had confided California to the
Republican fold"
