west in a southeasterly direction.
Along the north and south high
way water stood in copious quantit

RUN-OFF DIVERTED
AT LAKE PROJECT
FLOOD WATERS DRAINED INTO
HOMESTEAD AREA BY
DIKES AND CANALS

Engineering feats at the Medicine
Lake Migratory Bird Refuge were
put to test this week and man con-
trolled the flow of water draining
into the area from heavy rains
which fell Sunday and Monday.
Flood waters are being diverted
by canal to the Homestead refuge
area and Supt. Harvey Mckenzie
said that sloughs would undoubted-
ly be filled to high level.
The area into which the water is
being drained is an exceptionally
good nesting place for waterfowl
and the heavy rains made possible
the diversion which will replenish a
depleted water supply
Water from the Big Muddy and
drainage territory has not been di-
vertsd into Medicine Lake.
Paul T. Kreager, director of the
refuge. states that inasmuch as the
lake proper is not as prominent a
nesting area as many others in the
locality, the water is being diverted
to sections where it will do the most
good
1t was expected that drainage
from the upper end of the refuge
extending into the Dagmar territ-
ory, would flow into the lake and
Ireplenish the water supply there.
Last week Medicine Lake was
practically an alkaline flat" sale
