PAGE TWO IS COOPERATIVE SAYS CANDIDATE Husband and Daughter Behind Wife.and Mother in‘U. S. Senatorial Contest “JUST BORN A DEMOCRAT”. Indorsement Came Unsolicited, Being Eleventh Hour Sugges- tion on Convention Floor loquet, Minn., April 24.—Economic secrets borrowed from the housing wife's budget system can ibe taken to Congress by, women. with telling ef- fect, in the opinion of (Mrs. Peter Ole- son of Cloquet, indorsed by the Min- nesota Democratie state convention for the United States senatorial. nom- ination. Then there is woman's intimate knowledge: of, home conditions that would help materially in law making, she believes, and she points to the | axiom that home is the foundation of the nation for support of her conten- tion. “My one big desire in this campaign,” she said, “is to so conduct myself that no woman need be.ashamed. that Iam of her sex, and if nothing, else is. accomplished, I want the campaign ta be a political trail blazer for woman- kind in Minnesota.” It_is the first time in the. history of the state, that a woman has. ‘been accofded the ‘indorsement-of a major |” political party for the United States senatorship, and Mrs, Oleson realizes she is making precedent. ‘Mrs. Oleson’s husband is superin- tendent of schools in this city of 8,- 000 population, a position he has held for eight years. They have a daugh- ter, Mary, 14 years old. “We are a cooperative family in a sense,” Mrs. Oleson said. “My ‘thus- band will be actively aiding me when the summer vacation season comes ’round. And Mary—why, when she heard I had been indorsed for the sen- ate, she exclaimed: ‘Mother, I can write just a dandy campaign speech for you.’” j Nol It has been that way, Mrs. Oleson explained, ever since she took her! first step toward politics four years ago, only she did not know the step waa in that direction then. Interested ‘in Young Girls “I saw, as did my husband, that conditions, surrounding young girls were not always the best, and it was only natural that I showd interest myself in thein case from the view- ‘point of a mother. “This interest took me into wo- men’s clubs and their work. I became president of the women's clubs of the Eighth Minnesota district and thén was. chosen wvice pregident of the state organization.” During the war, Mrs. Oleson made many patriotic talks, and became much in demand over the state and in adjoining states. Then with the war ended, she went into chautauqua work, and last summer toured 10,000 miles in an automobile with her fam- ily in this lecture work. ‘Mrs. Oleson is 36 years old. She was born in LeSuepr county, Min- nesota. Her father was P..D. Dickie, and both her jpaternal and maternal grand parents: came to Minnesota as) pioneers in 1856. Both her grand-j fathers fought in the Civil ‘War. Her father was a Prohibitionist, but she declares she was “just born a became strengthened through her ear- ly admiration for William Jennings Bryan. She lived on a farm, and a neighbor told her all about Bryan one day as she rode to town with him atop a load of wheat. Sho stayed on the farm until she was married. Each day she went three miles to, Waterville, Minn., to: gain her high school’ education. (When -shé reads, she prefers it to be Plato and ‘Walt Whitman. “I. do my own housework,” Mrs. Oleson said. “I think a woman can attend to her home duties and also participate in club activities or poli- tics, measuring the extent of her par- ticipation by the’time it can legiti- mnstely Claim) front;her household du- 28.” 5 ‘ ‘Mrs. Oleton' potted out that. the in- dorsement for senator came unsolici- ted, and was the result of an eleventh hour suggestion, on the convention floor: 3 “As the selection of tha Democratic party, naturally I would: first be for all Democrats—men as well as wo- men, but ‘Fram partially interested in. legislation, affecting working wo- men, who 'séem' to have been ‘neglected to a great extent.” NEW STREET CAR WILL NOT TAKE AS MUCH POWER , North Dakota's nlew street car will save a large amount of power during the year. Tho former car, carrying tits 20,000 pounds of excesa weight, re- quired: close to—300 ampheres to run. Jt probably took more, as the meas- ure at the local power plant could record only to three hundred. The new car has been climbing the hill with a load in the first few days by an expenditure of from 100 to 110 ampheres. TO PROMOTE ENTERTAINMENTS |' Grand Forks, N.

H. Robinson, state enginver, in an address before the irrigation meet- ing here. Mr. Robinson; said in part: “The amount of land that can be successfully irrigated is limited by the supply of water available, as well as by the topography of the country. Wo have no way of determining at this ‘time just what per cent of our lands may be irrigated but we can make a pretty close 2stimate as to the sup- ply of water available, It is prob- able that it will require, roughly, the run-off from about 50 acres to irri- gate. cne acre. Therefore, so far as the amount of water available which falls. upon tha western part of North Dakota is concerned, we would prob- ably have enough to irrigate about two pe. cent of the area. or in round num- bers, half! a million acres if all of the run-off could be utilized. “Besides the run-off of tho state itself, we have several streams that flow through portions of it that could be. used to:swell this amount. Among these. is the Missouri ‘River, the flow of which hag beon estimated to be suf- ficient to irrigate 1,000,000 ‘acres at low water. Besides this we have the lower Yellowstone ‘River, which can be used to irrigate possibly, 20,000 acres in McKenzie county, the Mouse river, which rises in, Canada, and the Little Missouri which’ rises in South Dakota. Taken altogether it is prob- able that at best we could not hope to irrigate more than a million acres in western ‘North Dakota. This. would, in round numbers, mean approxi- mately 41-2 per cent of its area from Streams. In addition, there might he some irrigation from wells, but at this time the possibilities of irrigation from this source is merely conjecture. Appears Worth While “The basis of 4 1-2 per cent would give us 7.2 acres. per quayter section. |! is not a very large tract of land when considered in this way-but when it is considered from the standpoint that this number of acres under irri- gation could be used to produce heavy yields of fodder, garden truck, etc., ‘such a, proportion if properly handled would provide wintor fodder for mors stock in most cases. than could be ranged on the quarter section during the summer months besides furnish- ing other‘incomes from potatoes, gar- ruck and possibly sugar beets. At.any rate, it appears that there is sufficient nd, generally in small tracts, along our rivers to make’ it amply worth while for the state to thoroughly: investigate all the possi- bilities. Methods ta Be Considered “The main methods of irrigation to be consider¢d are leading water from the upper parts of streams or reser- voirs to lower lying lands by gravity, pumping from streams or wells, and by impounding the spring run-off tem- porarily, directly on thg land. “Some Tands, are situated so that they may be conveniently irrigated during the spring run-off by diverting the flow of coulees or small stroams over the lands, with considerable benefit. This is especially true in large coulees that are dry except during th early spring. This mothod. of direct impounding for. irrigation has been proposed on the Mouse River by building a series of dams for holding spring floods back sufficiently long to thoroughly soak 8:30 at The Coliseum. 10 Cents per dance, the low lying adjoining valley.

It seems ‘that this method of | irrigation. should, be very, successful, | especially forthe growing. of wild hay, which is very abundant along the! ‘Mouse River when there is sufficient moisture. ~ “The: office of the State Engineer was created primarily to provide en- gineering for irrigation projects. It seems to m», however, that a very essential’ element was. overlooked in} the original plan. It seems that pro- | visions should have been made for furnishing practical advica and super- | vision over the actual operation of ir- rigaticn after a project is completed. Farmers who have had no previou: experience in irrigation naturally are | apt to make mistaks and: get discour- | aged before a fair trial hay been’ given. ~ \ Suggests. Tests. “If the state could establish several demonstration farms it’ would prove or disprov2 the feasibility of the dif- ferent methods of irrigation. Since it} {jects, ono naturally has to deal with ‘a proposition that is almost entirely visionary at this time. Fortunately, however, history has shown us that the vision of today very often be comes the reality of tomorrow. Power From Lignite Practically: the only “relation be- tween these two important matters is the possibility, of the use of lignite }to furnish power for pumping. Since the portion: of the state which is most interested in irrigation is underlaid With beds of lignite coal at varying |depths, the feasibility of making use of this scurca of supply for power ought to be: obvious. “The only. project of any, conse- quence in the state that is ‘now mak- ing use of lignite for fuel is the gov- ernment plant located near Williston, which also: furnishes. the City of Wil- liston with: electricity. It therefore appears: that central power plants might. be located at convenient places and high tension electric currents generated and transmitted to distant locations for direct pumping. “Looking a little further into the fu- ture, it may be possible to generate this current as a by-product of bri- quetiing. Since tests have shown. that each ton of lignite coal contains about 10,000 cubic feet of gas that must be. driven/off before a succ2ss- ful briquet can be made, itis prob- ble that part of this gas fill be util- ized in the manufacture of the briquet self, and it does seem that there will b3 a large quantity wasted unless some means is used to convert it into other forms of energy., This is, of course, a matter that will have to await the development of the briquet- ting process and is mentioned here only as a possibility of the future. “The coal mine has also been sug- gested as a source of’ supply. for. wa- is probable (Hat there is state land| properly situated that could be used for this purpose, such ‘farms could be established and op2rated without any } great expense to the state. In this/ way our county agents could be, trained in. the matter of irrigation and would be ina much better position to obs2rve the efforts of the different farmers along this line than the State | Engineer who, is necessarily situated at Bismarck. “This, too, would. sep- rate the strictly engineering features | from that of operation. © “The State Tngineer’s always Ween handicapped office has for. the ter. There have been several so- call2d: deep mines in the etate where enormous quantities of water were encountered. If in pumping this water from the'mine it could be turned into; reservoirs or pumped directly on to agricultural lands at certain periods it is possible that a considerable acreage could be irrigated in this manner. Project Suggested. “while dealing with matters more or less visionary, it might be proper to mention an irrigation project that has been suggzsted. It is the propos- al of diverting a portion of the Miss- funds ncessary to carry on investi-,ouri River near the location of old ars ago the State vas made chief engincer and Secretary-af tho State Highway Com- ion. This‘ latter departmiont has now grown to such an extent that it is believed ‘that. it wotild be well to relieve the State Engineer from his dutics as Chief Engineer of the High- way Commission. “He could, it is be- lieved, with considerable profit to the | taxpayers of the state 'still act asa member of the Highway Commission, as his experienc in engineering would place him in a position to render ‘far | more valuable service to the state than could’ be expected from other citizens who have had no experience jvhatever along that line. Of course, | the ideal way would b> to have-a/ Department of Public Works to-handle | all public improveménts in the state, as well.as to give advice to. private | citizens and officers: of tho civil: sub- | divisions of the state who are engaged in any public improvements. dr works, It may be, however,: that the state is, not ready for this step. at this time and that the suggestion above men- | tioned would be the best arrangement ‘until the proper time has arrived. If} the State Engineer were relieved of his duties as Chief Engineer of the | ‘Highway Commission it is believed | that his duties could properly include drainage and flood control in the state. This would giv> him an op- Lportunity to (build ap an organization that would be in a position to handle these activities economically in’ con- junction with each other. “The topic suggested for this na- per is “Irrigation'and Lien‘te.” When it comes te connecting these two sub- | Fort Stevenson by means of a dam or tunnel-to the Mouse River valley. To the writer this project appears. to be on» worthy of serious consideration. The matt2r of a 20 or 25-mile tunnel, as the case may be, would in all prob- ability..be more feasible than attempt- ing to raise the present Jevel of the Missouri River by means of a dam and carrying water by open ditches. If the Federal Government. can ibe inter- ested in a project of this kind and it is finally found feasible, it is believed that a very larga acreage of land, can be irrigated from this source. “Reviewing the matter, it seems that there are at least five outstand- ing features that should be. given con- sideraticn in connection with the mat- ter of irrigation. = “First, a permanent organization uld be established to promote ir- tion in the state. “Second, fhe State Engineer should de. furnished with sufficient funds to properly handle the ordinary engineer- ing. problems. “Third, Federal Aid should be so- licited on the large engineering proj- ects. «° ‘Fourth, Federal Aid should be so- licited’ orf all projects that are eligible to aid under the MeNary Bill or any other Act of Congress which author- izes such aid. “Fifth, that one or more irriga- tion demonstration: and experimental farms should be: established at the earlizst date possible.” : 1 A document dated A.

Department of Labor Cooper- ‘ating With N. D.

The «iiudiesy made by ithe Children’s Bureau in various places throughout ithe country are usually designied to gather information which will be of getteral interest. and value. In North Dakota, for example, the Bureau iis trying to discover how Whe pian of juvenile commissioners iss. working out, and what it offers of value to other states having large rural areas. The adaptation of juvenile courts and Probation methods to rural conditions nas not been widely. studied up to ithis ‘time, ‘and con: ites a difficult prob- lem. The Children’s Bureau was estab- shed by Congress about ten years ago, and was directed, in the act cre- ating it, to “investigate and report upon all matters pertaining ‘to. the welfare of chiktren and child life among all classes of people, and es- pecially infant mortality, the birth raite, orphanage, juvenile courts de- gertion, dangerous occupations, acc dents and diseases of children, em- ployment (and) legislation affecting children in the several states and ter- ritories.” The Bureau’s province, in other words, ‘ig ito place at the dtis- posal of all those concerned with the problems. of child-care and protection the facts revealed through its stu- dies, and particularly methods which have been proved effective through practical experience.’ Service of this sort from the bureau is now being utilized by the North ren's Code Commission, MILITARY DRILL GIVEN (Mayville, .N.
