After The Dam-What?

The question has been asked
After completion of the great
Fort Peck Dam what will become
of this country them" That is a
hard question for us to answer
at this particular time. However,
from past experience and in the
light of the fact that the United
States Government consider this
particular territory of enough signi
ficance to expend over S100,OO0,000
in the construction of the greatest
earth fill in the world here would
indicate that they would not com
plete the dam proper and then
pull up stakes and let the whole
country set high and dry"
We are not one of those in the
know-it-all class but, we will ven-
ture to say that the end of the
Fort Peck Dam work will By no
means mean the end of activities
in this section of the state Irriga-
ton, thing that has long been
needed in this particular territory
will play an important part; other
enterprises will spring up and peo-
pie who are out seeking a home
