WATER SUPPLY FOR BRECKENRIDGE AND WAHPETON REVIVED Flow of Otter Tail River, Re- " leased By Dams, Reaches Twin Cities Q-DAY SHORTAGE IS ENDED ~~ Sy ‘#1 °% North Dakota City Will Continue 3 Use of Its Well Water ‘ indefinitely Bredkenridge, Minn., Dec. 23.—(P)— ‘The Otter Tail river flowed Friday, ending @ 10-day water 5 The river, the source of the city’s water supply as well as for its sister city, Wahpeton, N. D., froze solid 10 days ago and created a condition that threatened business places with tem- Porary close-ups and otherwise caused serious inconveniences to home own- ers. * Lack of sufficient moisture through. out the summer months and extreme- ly cold weather the last month effec- y tively stopped the flow of water in the river, for the first time in its history. The situation became 50 acute that water was sold at 10 gal- Jons for 25 cents. The city of Wahpeton, supplied trom the same source, was more for- tunately situated in that an old city well, not used since 1914, was re-tap- ped successfully, producing a flow of 150,000 gallons per day, or about half the ordinary daily water consumption. A large crew of men, having at their disposal the Wilkin and Richland county snow plows and tractors, early this week began clearing snow from the ice, cutting new channels and lit- erally forcing the water to advance. The point of intake in Breckenridge was reached late Thursday and water ‘was available for city use Friday. The water shortage has seen buck- ets, barrels and tanks brought into use, and it was estimated 25 old wells which have not been used in years have been re-opened for use. Citizens of Wahpeton co-operated with the local water department to the extent of using only 50 per cent of the usual amount. Wahpeton re- paired its water mains last summer and put @ new intake at the source, costing more than $21,000. Efforts at that time to dig new wells failed. Wahpeton will continue to use well water until the river supply is normal. Brittin | By O. DUTTON Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Welch were din- ner guests Tuesday at the O. U. Dut- ton home. Mrs. Geo.

But he ldn’t see the governor; the attendants ‘were very firm about that. He was in a lather of anguish when Mr. Roosevelt finally came out. But the father was partly mollified by Pranklin’s belated attempts at con- fession. Compared to his son’s attempted secrecy, the actual speeding was a minor affair. For the governor re- members, and so do his sons, the old Stutz that FDR himself used to drive —and how he used to drive it! The fact is that all the Roosevelts like speed for sport’s sake. The par- ents are continually being thankful that none of their children has gone in seriously for aviation. Not that they view ordinary flying with alarm, for the family frequently travels on the established airways. But polo, sailing, football and riding spirited hunters over the jumps offer just about enough hazards for the reason- able complacence of their minds. All the boys have been injured at one time or another. Jimmy dislocat- ed his knee in the first play of the Groton-St. Mark’s game when he was @ senior. Elliott has had assorted sprains and bruises. John, hurt at football last year, went to a New York hospital for the removal of a cartilage from his right knee. He can still row and ride, but probably never again will appear on a gridiron. Franklin, Jr., broke his nose in several places last October, but by November was back at right tackle for the big game with St. Mark's. * * * HAVE FIVE HORSES They're all skilled tennis players, and except Elliott, who is a little near- sighted, are fond of golf.

And Franklin, Jr., sacrificed part of a vacation to serve in the same capacity at a newsboys’ camp near Groton school. Before James Roosevelt entered Harvard his father sent him off to a pulp.mill on the Sanguenay river, “40 miles from nowhere.” He believed the husky youngster ought to learn how to work with his hands. And Jimmy Jearned—at the rate of 18 cents an hour. His first job was on the river, spiking logs that had a particular mark on them. He fell in a few times, to the tune of delighted jeers, but finally was able to hold his own with the regular laborers. He lived on the 18 cents an hour, too, although his mother remembers a plaintive letter to hear from him more regularly she had better send him some stamped envelopes! Martineson Benefits Under Indian’s Will Police Chief C. J.

Shortly before his death White Bear ed that his wife give to Martineson his buckskin suit, a bead- ed and decorated costume which White Bear had worn on ceremonial occasions, Martineson, who attended the fu- neral, brought the suit back with him.

A period of dry weather during August and September made it im- practicable for farmers to prepare the ground and plant fall grains. Where the crop was planted, germination was uneven and stands rather light, con- sequently such fields are in very poor Condition to withstand a severe win- ter unless snow cover is adequate. The December first condition of the crop is placed at 68 per cent of normal. This is six points below last year’s December first condition and 15 SHARPLY REDUCED Points below the 10-year average con- dition, The 1932 fall-seeded winter wheat acreage in the United States is est mated to be 39,902,000 acres, compar. ed to 40,420,000 acres last year, the revised planted acreage in the fall of 1931, @ decrease of about 1 per cent.
