CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA LKB DAKOTA Both States Have Great Pos- sibilities in Development of Water Power ~ Devils Lake, N, D., Aug. 5.—North; Dakota and California have much in common, declared George H. Me- Mahon before: the North Dakota Press Association meeting here this afternoon, Both have been advanced because of the ability of their engi- neers and newspapermen,. Further than this, Mr. McMahon in the be- ginning of his ‘paper, “Irrigation in Western North, Dakota,” declared that as California found its way te irrigation through developing hy- draulic power for its placer mining, ZZ Grand Prix Race in France ‘ Bennett, the English racer, leading in the:Grand Pris race which hel won at Duppirhelr, France. so North Dakota might progress in irrigation through the development of hydraulic power to make possible the strip mining of its vast lignite resources. He declared he believed that the development of irrigation in the Slope country was closely al- lied with the development of lignite, “North Dakota’s largest project is the lower, Yellowstone,” Mr. Mc- Mahon told the newspaper men. “1 ‘have recently visited this project and e found it in a flourishing condition, This project shows the cheapest op- erating cost of all the:projectg of the U. S. Reclamation Service. “The construction of $63.00 per acre also compares very favorably. “At present there ake 11,00: acers.of. this project in North Dakota under ditch and: the Yemainiig nine. thauy sand acres will be under ditch this year. The only thing neded to make this project a tremendous success is settlers. “Porty acres of irrigated land is sufficient to make a good living. Lands can be bought as low as $50 per acre plus the cdggtruction cost. This construction cost, js spread over a period of twenty years with- out interest.) ; “Our second largest project. is :lo- cated at Williston. The construction cost of this project is the lowest of any in the Reclamation Service pro- ject in the United States, But the fact that it is not well settled makes * the operating cost higher than on other projects. “The Williston project is far from peing a failure. New. settlers and the development of outside markets are the outstanding need at Willis- ton. g . “The suécess-of this: project where water is lifted from 60 to 80 feet only ‘goes to demonstrate the possi- bilities of irrigation on other flets of the Missouri, river where the lift * is much less and a larger acreage can be developed. “Conditions are particularly favor- able at Bismarck where seven thou- sands acres can be irrigated with a lift of 25 to 50 feet without the ex- \pense of constructing a power plant. The favorable market conditions make this a choice one to con- sider. “There are 200,000 acreg of bottom lands along the Missouri that could be irrigated by pumping, With cheap water transportation available these bottoms are particularly well adapted for sugar beet culture, North Dakota has the best sugar beet soil in the world. “There are a number of individual irrigation projects on the Little Mis- souri supplying winter feed for beef cattle.’ There are over 50,000 acres of irrigable lands in the Lit Mis- souri bottoms. It is the opinion of the Director of the U. S. Geological Survey that the installation of elec- trie power plants at strategic points to supply current to individual plants would greatly stimulate irrigation de- velopment in the Little Missouri Val- ley.” FARMER STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Dickinson, N. D., Aug. Knute Engen, prominent farmer residing in Dunn county southwest of’ Halliday, was instantly killed by lightning while returning to his home from that village during the storm early Tucsday evening. One horse of the team which he was driving- hitched toa small road wagon, and two mules which he was leading behind, were , killed by the same bolfy,/° si Mr. Engen had been at Halliday buying supplies for a busy harve3, season and left for his home about 6 o'clock. An hour later, grim in death, he was found by neighbors, still sitting in the drivers seat. The ainmals had dropped in their tracks. ‘The deceased was considered one of the most thrifty farmers of southern Dunn county and had a wide ac- quaintance. He leaves a family. * ESCAPED MAN, _ SLAYER, CAUGHT Red Wing, Min.., Aug. 5.—Sitting on the flodr “of- his cell, Charles 1} Bains, arrested Thursday by pos? semen charged wich killing Harry Hoffman, Minneapolis taxi driver and wanted by. the Ramsgy county author- ities for breaking jail Wednesday night, mumbles and grins. The police say he is feigning in- sanity. \Sheriff John A. Anderson id Bains has not acted rations since he Was placed in the cell. When he was turned over to the sheriff by possemen who caytured him, he vir- tually admitted his connection with the Hoffman killing when he confess- ed after being told Hoffman had died “[ s’pose I'll have to go, up life” Late yesterday and all last tnight, jail attaches said Bains paced kthe floor of his cell alternately weep- ing and mumbling to himself. His nerve has broken but it is believed when he has composed himself he will talk, seer EARLY CUTTING OF GRAIN BEATS | HAIL LOSSES Fargo, N. D., Aug. 5.—The grain growers of North Dakota can get five or sxi days hail insurance during the most critical period of each year free, experts at the agricultural college believe according to P. ¥. Trowbridge, director of the extension division. All they have to do is cut the grain that much earlier. Part of the rye on the station farm was cut this year when most of the practical farmers thought it far too green, according to Mr. Trowbridge. Later this was com- pared with the rye cut at the stage usually considered proper for cutting. The berries in the were just as plump as the ones on ‘the rest of the rye, he says. “The station men became interested and are cutting some flax early to see how it will turn out. They also cut some of the Marquis wheat five to six days before the usual time and expect to supplement casual examin- ation of the berries with milling tests of the early cut grain to make sure.that it is just as good. If these tests show this to be the _case it is expected. farmers may save some thousands “of dollars storm damage each year by getting their crops out of the way just five or six days sooner. McKenzie Roof Garden will be open every Wednesday and Saturday night. Refreshments will be served and those de- siring can be served a la carte.
