the fastest man in baseball"
The mention of fastest man in

WINTON WEYDEMEYER, For
tine, was reelected for his third
straight term as master of the Mon
tana Grange at the organizations
annual convention in Hamilton, Oct.
1922. The meetings were attended
by more than 800 representatives of
81 Grange units in the state.
In of the major resolutions
adopted, the Grange went on record
as opposing the Brannan farm plan
and favoring a flexible price support
program for farm products.
In his annual address on the OPEN
ing day of the convention, Weyde-
meyer declared that "A1l prosperity
springs from the production of
wealth; the compensation of each
should be based on what he con
tributes to the general welfare; the
prime purpose of the government is
to protect its citizens from agrees
sion, both physical and economic.
"Thus our purpose becomes of
helping each other through strength
ening family life, creating satisfying
conditions in home and school for
young people, increasing commu-
nifty self-reliance and cooperation
and together resisting efforts of
government planners to group us to-
gether like huge flocks of sheep un-
der ~socialistic schemes camouflaged
as welfare Utopias."

for the Montana portion of the prof.
ect and for the Montana portion of
the Missouri pumping division. The
dam will be built across the Missouri
river Immediately south of Nashua.
THE MISSOURI SOURIS unit
when completed will be one of the
largest irrigation projects in the
United States. Some ~1,275,000 acres
of land once dry farmed in both
Montana and North Dakota will re-
ceive irrigation water from the di-
version of the Missouri river.
Canal Serves Q Purposes
Water released from Fort Peck
reservoir, in northeastern Montana,
will be diverted from the Missouri
river into the huge Missouri canal
which serves two purposes. The first
is to provide water for irrigation of
SO, 800 acres of bottom and bench
land, some 24,600 acres of which are
now being internationally irrigated.
The second purpose is to fill a
large storage reservoir in the vicin-
ity of the present Medicine lake.
From this reservoir, water will be
pumped to irrigate the As, 600-acre
Medicine lake units in Montana and
the 1,108, 50O-acre Souris unit in
North Dakota. Releases from the
reservoir will also irrigate 2 1,400
acres in the vicinity of Culbertson,
Mont.
One of the largest pumping plants
in the world will be required at
Grenora, N. D., to serve the 100000
acres in North Dakota which lie
principally in the Souris river drain
age, a tributary of Hudson's Bay.
Power from Fort Peck
Electric power for irrigation pump
ing will be obtained for the project

plant and from power to be pro-
duced at drops in the Souris canal
in North Dakota.
The Missouri-Souris unit was first
ton in 1889 after the interior de-
partment had been directed to dis
pose of electric power to be gen.
Grated at the Fort Peck hydroelec-
trio plant. Preliminary studies in
dictated the Missouri-Sou feasible,
and the project became part of the
Pick-Sloan plan for development of
the Missouri river basin.
Power From Fort Peck
In 1914, congress authorized con-
struction of the initial stages of the
comprehensive plan for the Missouri
river basin as proposed in the Pick
Sloan plan by the bureau of reclama.
ton and the corps of engineers.
Since early in 1916, the bureau O
reclamation has been actively en-
gagged in reconstruction surveys fo
lne ullll DOIll III NOIlldIld ana NOTLl
Dakota. The entire area proposed
for irrigation is being mapped, ant
the land carefully appraised as t
its suitability for irrigation. Change
are being made in the engineerin
plan, as dictated by the more com
plete and exacting surveys and eco
nomic studies being carried o
today.
