ENGINEERS REPORT ON DIVERSION PLAN GIVEN TO OFFICIAL Data Presented to Deputy Pub-; lic Works Administrator by Nye and Others ‘Washington, D. C., Oct. 25—()}—A report of engineers on the Missouri River Diversion program in North Dakota and South Dakota was pre sented Tuesday to Henry M. Waite, deputy public works administrator, by Senator Gerald Nye of North Da- kota, Chester A. Smith, engineer, and members of the Missouri River diver- sion association. They said their object was to famil- iarize Waite with the general aspects of the $65,000,000 project prior to the formal presentation they expect to make next week when Frank Murphy, public works director for the fourth region with headquarters at St. Paul, and other representatives, reach ‘Washington. The engineer's report said the pro- ject was “not only feasible and prac- tical” but ‘vitally necessary in the drought areas involved.” It emphasized the flood control benefits of the project, which calls for construction of a dam at Garrison, N. D.,, to impound the Missouri river water and divert it to the James and Cheyenne rivers, raising their water tables and thus raising the sub-sur- face water levels. ‘The report said the water storage contemplated “would guarantee navi- gation of the Missouri river, protect the investment of millions of dollars already made and provide for the canalization of the Missouri river.” DEVILS LAKE CHEERED BY EVENTS IN CAPITAL Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 25.—(?)— ‘This city, where the diversion move- ment was born, and all North Dako- ta, was cheered Tuesday night by news front Washington indicating the Missouri river diversion project 1s; steadily moving toward successful realization in Washington. ‘President Sivert Thompson of the Missouri River Diversion association, in a message from Washington to of- fices of the association in Devils Lake, announced that the project, which will recreate two North Dakota rivers and a score of lakes, while maintain- ing the water level in a large agricul- tural area where three years of drought’ has created a big water con- servation problem, will be presented at a hearing before Col. E. Waite, fed- eral public works administrator, se- eretary of the Interior Harold Ickes ‘and members of the national plan- ning board next Monday. ‘Thompson expressed confidence the project will be favorably considered after interviews in shington with Jeaders in the nation’s public works program. 8. J. Doyle, chairman of the state lic works board, was summoned to Washington for next Monday's con- ference. Doyle announced he will be ‘accompanied by Fred McLean, chair- man of the Democratic state commit- tee; H. H. Perry, Democratic national committeeman; Miss Nellie Dougher- ty, Minot, national committeewoman; G. F. Lamb, president of the North ‘Dakota Taxpayers association; Major Frank Anders, secretary of the North Dakota capitol commission, who consulting engineer for the project, and possibly others who are members of the association. Others Also Are Going Frank W. Murphy, regional advisor for the fourth district, and Captain Radcliffe, regional engineer, will join the party in W: Gov. Weaver of untarily at the hearings to lend their ipport endorsement and it. re are more than pleased,” said Secretary Noel Tharalson of the diver- sion association, “with today’s reports from Washington. North Dakota is solidly behind this great project. ‘There are no known objectors. As the educational campaign has pro- gressed, the support developed has bee! nd all expectations. One mn beyol broke: thing is certain, the for diversion, which is really a project to save a large region in five states from ‘becoming @ desert, will continue until it is realized. President C. C. Talbott, of the North Dakota Farmers Union, which is holding {ts state convention at Wil- liston, in an interview declared diver- sion of the Missouri river must and will receive the support of all the State's farm organizations. 2 4 of what happens in we the farm organizations of this state will continue to cam- paign militantly for water conserva- tion wherever it may be feasibly at- first objective. Members of the Farm- ers Union are solidly behind it. It is ® plan to save farm and all property values and to avert a great tragedy which stalks the homes of thousands of farm men and women on the prairies of all the plains states.” POWER OUTPUT STATIONARY a Electric ‘power output last week remained at about the same level as in the previ- ous week, but the increase over the corresponding period last year nar- vowed to 5.9 per cent against a rise of Xf Bie cpa tor She: week.

In fact, the secretary has reiterated that inflation, by whatever means accomplished, would not alone solve the problems of the farmer. He has favored controlled inflation but be- lieves even that would not remove the disparity between agricultural prices and industrial prices. The removal of this disparity is the principal aim of the farm adminis- tration and the programs outlined for cotton, wheat, corn, hogs, tobacco and other crops are directed toward that end. In their essence, the plans for the principal commodities named are simple. The consumer is taxed. The money raised is used to pay the grower for reducing his production. In theory. this hoists the price re- ceived by the farmer toward the level of those received for industrial prod- ucts. Production control gets rid of surpluses that have kept prices down. Difficult in Practice Complications arose when theory) was translated into practice and one of the chief concerns of administra- tion officials now is that their pro- where one slip would drop it hun- canyon floor. The picture shows in operation, shifting the truck. STATE PRESENTING ITS SIDE OF $00 LINE TAX BATTLE Baker Offers Exhibits to Show Railroad System Is Not Overas: Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25—(P)—The state has begun presenting its side of the Soo Line tax case in federal court here. The railroad is attempting to have 25 per cent of its 1931 tax and 30 per cent of its 1932 tax set aside on the ground of overassessment. Lyman Baker, for 19 years a mem- ‘ber of the North Dakota tax com- imissioner’s staff and for many years in charge of the assessment of rail- road and public utilities properties, | Was on the stand for the defense. jhad four main purposes: | -To show there is no fixed method jof arriving at railroad property val- uation. To show assessments of Soo prop- erty have been decreased during the reed 15 years along with other proper- ti To show the Soo Line has been as- sessed fairly in proportion to other ilroads. To show the operating income of the Soo Line has not decreased in re- cent years in the same proportion as the farm income has. Harold Shaft, assistant attorney general, who has been representing the state in the action, said he in- tends to, complete his side of the case ednesday.

Steel Buying Is On Hand-to-Mouth Basis New York, Oct. 25.—(4)—Steel buy- ing, “Iron Age” said Wednesday, “has reverted to a hand to mouth basis” and production is down sharply.

In effect, the loan tends to be a minimum price peg, although some officials object to that inter- pretation.

Netland, Boy Scout execu- tive, will assist in organizing the vol- leyball groups. More than 30 men who expect to Play basketball this year at the me- morial building attended an organi- zation meeting Tuesday night. Tentative plans were made for a city league, with five teams already having signified their intentions of entering the circuit. Practice games will be played up) until the middle of December, when league play will begin. Basketball sessions are planned on Monday and Thursday nights, be- ginning at 7 o'clock, Davis said. Only one basketball league is plan- ned this year, Davis said, and it is probable that the most able players will be “seeded” to make the teams more equal in strength. The city had two leagues last season.
