In a letter filed with the Congres: ch tee on Commerce a Congressioi the New O s merce points out, that the c he flow of waters of na 1 treams is a Federal duty. It is thi: point which the North Dakota Irri gation Congress, meeting here June 7th and Sth will stress in pressing its claims for the saving of the waters of the Upper Missouri and its tribu- aries for agricultural purposes.

It is reasonable “for us to assume that other works on other tributaries of the Ohio can be made to so far control the flood peak in the Ohio as to greatly reduce the volume of water passing into the Mis- sissippi at any one time during great flood flow. Flood Waters Can Be Diverted “We are assured by men who have made a study of Missouri River con- ditions that a great deal of the sur- plus flood’ waters, which ‘now. reach the Missouri from its source streams can be diverted and soaked, into dry lands far removed from the.

In this way untillable lands may be made available for agricult- ure and the flood flow of the Mis- souri be brought under sme sort of control, to the.end that in times of maximum, flood flow there ‘will be ¢ reduced speak load to join the peak load of the Ohio at Cairo. “While these. matters are of the ‘gravest. concern to the people of al’ the Valley as well as to ourselves, w: understand that the Mississippi River Commission: can not: concern _ itself with them because ‘the’ Mississippi River Commission’s jurisdiction is limited to the Mississippi river ,pro- per from Rock Island to the Head of the Passes. - YOUNG MOTHER _ NOW STRONG Her Mother's Faith in Lydia E.
