Where Will the Water Come

approximately 20, 1907 900 acre feet.
BUT-according to the us. Geological
Service the total average annual run-off of
the Missouri above Yankton Cor west of o8th
meridian) over the past II years has only
been 1855, 900 acre feet. Taking into con-
sideration that nine Of those II years were
drought years MVA engineers have adjusted
run-off figures to SO years or more average
precipitation, and have arrived at a probable
annual average of 1884, 900 acre feet.
This represents a deficit of almost five mil
lion acre feet per annum from that needed
as proposed under Pick-Sloan. Stating the
case in another way, after the Engineers APP
propriate what they desire for navigation,
Devils Lake is replenished, and a reasonable
amount is allowed for evaporation, there
will only be enough irrigation water to sup
ply $4,000 acres Of new land in the four
upper states, which is a somewhat smaller
amount than the highly propagandized
4,10O, 900 acres of the Pick-Sloan plan.
Pick-Sloan proponents point up that this cannot be
by referring to the OMahoney amendment of the Flood
Control Act OF 1914 which states. THE use for irriga-
ton. in connection with the operation and maintenance
Of such FLOOD coniroD works herein authorized for
construction. Of water arising in states being wholly
or partly west of the ninety-eighth meridian. shall be
only such as does not conflict with any beneficial con.
sumpuve use. present or future. in states being wholly

mining or industrial purposes" That sounds good on
paper. but it should be remembered that that same con.
gress in 1914 also approved the Army Engineers de
velopment proposals. complete with mile-wide nayiga-
ton channel. Further, since the congress has given
the engineers a PRIOR right on all inland waters OF
the nation, and there is not enough water to 20 around
the result will be that western reclamation will be
short changed in favor of the navigation channel.
O'Mahoney amendment Notwithstanding.
The situation thus resolves itself that the Engineers
MUST be stopped before they can begin actual use OF
their navigation channel and the several additional
Fort Pecks' that have been approved for construction
by congress. Despite protests by MNA it is probably
too late to block the appropriatine of s4.5oo,o COZ. QUO

complete review Of existing Pick Sloan development

That such IA review may be made, Sen. James +
Murray OF Montana recently introduced senate joint

Russia Sees Discoveries
About Planet Mars Soon
By the Assocjoted Press

MOSCOW. May ga Soviet
astronomer claimed today that Rus
sian scientists are "on the eve of
important discoveries in regard to
the planet Mars"
The Moscow Evening News quoted
Prof. B. A. Vorontsov-Velyaminov
as saying that it had been dis
covered that the atmosphere on
Mars contains approximately the
same percentage of carbon dioxide
as that on the earth.
This represents reasonable proof
of the contention of Soviet Scien-
tist Tikhov, the News quoted the
professor as saying, that there is
plant life on Mars, since without
plant life the carbon dioxide con-
tent would be much higher.
