these dams was to be placed at
Custer, one in the Big Horn can
yon and one in Cave canyon II
wyoming. The total cost would
be 80 million dollars and was
considered too expensive. A. w.
F. Koch showed that by building
a dam $50 feet high in the Big
Horn canyon it would control all
silt and flood water. generate
500 more horse power and po-
tentially irrigate a much larger
area of land. BY backing the
water up into wyoming it would
forever prevent the sitting OF the
dam. He also showed that by
raising the dam to this height,
the cost would be Just a million
dollars additional and that the
dam could be completed at a cost
OF twenty million dollars.
"The Mississippi Valley COM
mittee in Washington has rated
the Big Horn dam as an "A"
project for power. In 1881 the
Big Horn and Yellowstone rivers
contributed 49, of the silt flow
from the Missouri. These are
army engineers figures and graphs.
THE Big Horn dam would gen.
crate about 1000 primary horse
power with $50 1000 H. P. available.
Over 1000 acres of land would
be irrigable when the time comes
for such development. The Big
Horn discharges between two and
three million acre feet of water
a year and the reservoir created
by the dam would hold one and
one-half million acre-feet. The
water reaches Kansas City in 16
days and by having this auxiliary
reservoir, a navigable Missouri
could be much better assured as
the Yellowstone and Big Horn
contribute &C. Of the water at
the junction of the Missouri and
Yellowstone. The Big Horn can
make a difference of a foot in
flood water levels at Kansas City,
but is not considered a flood
menace in the lower Missouri.
It is the one big source of silt,
however, in the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi river beds, and silt must
be considered a cumulative ele-
ment in floods and the Big Horn
must be blamed for adding this
damaging element.
There is no question of the
merits Of the Big Horn in all the
factors considered in dams of

Mr.. Campbell is loud in his
praise of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act, which he considers
the most important piece OF leg
islation, as it affects the farmer
that has been enacted during his
farming career. Commenting on
this act he said:
This is the first time the tar
if has been made effective on
the portion of the farmers crop
consumed in the United States.
It has put the farmer for the
first time on at least a partial
equality with the manufacturer.
It will ultimately be the major

The New York Harlemites,

last Friday night. Accurate bas-

while Hall of the Harlemites was

this sort, power, irrigation, flood
and silt control, navigation, eros
ion, economy of construction and
self liquidation.
The Yellowstone and the Big
Horn rivers discharge about the
same amount of water each year,
but the Big Horn discharges
about four or five times more
silt. The two rivers together dis
charge $50 of the water Of the
Missouri at the North Dakota
border. They discharge about
l1ll2th of the silt at this juno
ton.
LAS the Fort Peck dam is pri-
marty a navigation construction
project to obtain a sh-foot
to a nine-foot channel in the
lower Missouri and maintain a
flow of 10000 second feet in that
stream as a minimum, it can be
seen that at times auxiliary stor-
age waters would seem to be
necessary.
THE Fort Peck reservoir will
contain q million acre-feet OF
water, when full and as this
water will have to be drawn upon
during the winter months and the
hot summer months and the low
water stages in the late summer
and fall, the flow of the upper
Missouri may not be adequate to
handle the situation.
There is a strong feeling that
to make navigation an assured
success it will be necessary not
only to dam the Big Horn, hold
ing back it's flood waters against
the time of need. but the Yellow
stone must also be controlled. BY
controlling the head waters OF
the Missouri in this way naviga-
ton may be assured. not only to
Yankton. but much higher up
when that becomes practical.
The proposed building of a
dam in the Yellowstone National
park has met with a lot of oppo-
Sition. due to sentimental reasons,
the main one being an unsightly
shore line and commercialiZing
the park. Those who have visit
ed the park know how much it
is commercialized and monopo-
lized at the present time and that
objection to the dam is not in
line with the facts relative to a
dam. At the Fishing bridge a
very inexpensive dam could be
put in above where the tourist
sees it generally. This holding
of Yellowstone lake at it's high
water level would do away with
all the unsightly shore line now
observed during the tourist sea-
son. making this wonderland even
more beautiful than it now is,
The amount of water going over
the falls would be greatly increas-
ed during the tourist season. thus
adding to the grandeur of one of
natures grandest sights. A fish
erman's paradise could be made
of the Fishing bridge if a dam
were constructed at this natural
dam site.

The people of this region may
fully expect to see, in the broad
plan of water conservation. power
development, flood control and
silt control. all of these natural
resources fully developed. No
broad plan of Missouri naviga-
ton and flood and silt control
can leave out the Big Horn dam
construction. as the waters will
be necessary. No broad plan of
soil conservation can leave out a
consideration of these am S,
which mean the protection of our
top soils of the Big Horn and
Yellowstone basins and the ere
sion prevention along these riv-
ers.'

This will be the fifth meeting
between the two schools. In 1929
and 1880, the Cards came through
SO on each occasion while in
1881 and 1882, they took the
measure Of the Owls by the iden-
tical score of 4H2-21a.
The Temple team, due to arrive
today, is reputed to be one Of the
strongest to represent the Phila-
delphia school in years.
Rubenstein, a Vet
In Louis Rubenstein, the Owls
have a veteran performer, who,
during his long career as a college
ring performer, lost but one fight.
He is a southpaw and will battle
in the 125-pound division. Last
year he boxed in the 115-pound
class.
Two other invading Owl mitt-
singers who are expected to
cause their Cardinal opponents
plenty of trouble are a pair Of
lads recruited from Pop Warmers

are William Davidson, halfback,
who will show his wares in the

Montgomery who battles in the

Coach Ed La Fond, Of the
Cardinal team, will probably
start the same outfit he showed
against Virginia Tech last week,
with 'but one exception. Danny
Pyne, veteran heavyweight, who
was out of the Gobbler meet due
to an injured shoulder, is due to
return Saturday night. His re,
