DEVILS LAKE STILL SHES HARNESSING OF RIVER AS CURE-ALL ‘Missouri River Diversion Back- ers Now Seck $14,000,- 000 Grant By R. E. ANDERSON (Copyright, 1936, Associated Press) Devils Lake, N. D., July 14—In this thriving city of North Dakota springs a vision of replenished wells and lakes and rivers running with ‘water, flood control and sufficeint ‘water supply for the entire eastern River Diversion association, has asked federal authorities for a $14,000,000 grant which the sponsors claim would make their hopes come true. Under, their plan water would be pumped ot of the Missouri river near Garrison, 80 miles north of Bismarck, and run through e channel to the headwaters of the James and Shey- enne rivers in Wells county. “The project would provide a water supply for most of the cities in the eastern part of the state, restore wells by raising water levels, aid in limiting ‘hot winds so destructive to crops with possible power development,” Thomp- son said. For the western area of North Da- kota, most stricken by drouth, a group of proposed irrigation and water di- version projects also have been sub- mitted to the bureau of reclamation at Washington involving 240,000 irri- gable acres o° land. Largest of the proposals by E. J. ‘Thomas, state engineer at Bismarck, ‘would irrigate 26,000 acres near Wil- liston in northwestern North Dakota ‘by diverting waters from the Missouri river at a cost of $2,000,000. Another would create a huge reservoir on the Heart river in Grant county in the southwestern drouth section and irri- gate 12,000 acres of farm land. The carrying out of these projects can only be made possible through grants of the federal government, ‘Thomas said, and their construction ‘would mark a concrete step to end drouth suffering in the future. FORMER U. 8. NAVY OFFICER DENIES HE BETRAYED COUNTRY Discharged Man Charged With Giving Naval Information to Japanese Washington, July 14—(4)—John 8. Farnsworth, former lieutenant com- mander in the United States navy, pleaded innocent Tuesday to a charge of communicating confidential naval \nformation to a Japanese agent. ‘The former naval officer, arrested secretly here Monday night by navy yepresentatives and J. Edgar Hoover's agents, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage. Turnage set his bond at $10,000, which he was unable to make immed- lately. Preliminary hearing of the charges against Farnsworth was postponed until July 29. A former resident of Cincinnati, he had been discharged from the ser- vice nine years ago on charges of conduct prejudicial to the navy. Roger Bobb, assistant United States district attorney, said a warrant alleged the offense was committed May 15, 1935, The former officer had been watch- ed for several years, he said, and had spent most of that time in ‘Washington and St. Louis. State department officials told re- porters the affair probably would not be brought to the attention of the Japanese government through diplo- matic channels. They expected the navy and justice department to seek a swift trial New Beer Ordinance Effective Wednesday Tonight will be the last upon which it will be legal to dance in Bismarck’s beer halls. - City commissioners Monday night called to the attention of the police department that the ordinance against this combination will become effec- tive July 15 and that the police are expected to enforce it.

That was the dictum of the city commission which Monday night directed City Attorney C. L.

The rate of speed which would be permitted under the ordinance was not disclosed and the figure will be determined later.

With a vote slated for Tuesday or Wednesday, a substantial majority of the 17 council members was repre- sented as feeling that suspension of the 12 unions affiliated ‘ with the Committee for Industrial Organize- tion was the only course open to them. They recalled that John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work- ers, repeatedly had said the CIO in- tended to organize all the workers in each mass production industry into one big industrial union without re- gard for the various craft unions’ claim that they should enroll the skilled craftsmen. ‘They expressed themselves as par- ticularly aggrieved over the failure of Lewis and his associates to answer a summons to appear before the coun- cil at its current meeting to answer charges that the CIO was working at cross purposes with the federation. William Green, federation _presi- dent, publicly expressed the feeling of a number of council members. “We had hoped that out of our conferences, some settlement could have been reached,” Green told re- porters, Green has stated that there were two possible courses besides suspen- sion: (1). Appointment of a committee to continue discussions with Lewis. (2), A delay in any action at all until the next bat of sad council, in ee ee or October. CUT APPROPRIATIONS I$ WELFORD ADVICE FOR BUDGET BOARDS Rigid Economy Must Be Prac- ticed by Governmental Units, He Says In anticipation of budget board mee! throughout the state, Gov. Walter Welford urged all tax levying bodies in North Dakota Tuesday to pursue the “most rigid economy” in budgets and tax levies for the next years expenditures. “Atter six disastrous years,” he de- clared, “we are in the midst of the worst drouth in the history of North Dakota. During the coming years, our people can only pay taxes by the utmost sacrifice, and then the amount of the tax must be lowered to a point within the pocketbooks of our drouth stricken farmers.” In a letter to all tax-levying bodies, ‘Welford said the bulk of all taxes in North Dakota are paid directly from agricultural income. “The levies which you will shortly make, will have to be paid primarily, from the scant income which our farmers received from their agricul- tural pursuits,” he asserted. The chief executive emphasized that for six years farmers and other citi- zens have faced not only unpreced- ented low prices for products, but have contended with drouth, grass- hoppers, rust and hot winds until agricultural income in many parts of the state has been “virtually non- existent.” Failure to reduce appropriations, Welford said, would result in “whole- a frogriid of people to pay taxes, the confiscation of thousands of ety Water Conservation Group Names Kelsch Directors of the newly organized Morton County Water Conservation association named States Attorney C.

The proposal involves repair and for the Buford-Trenton unit. Both units would be combined to form the North Dakota pumping project with the works consisting prin- cipally of canals and two pumping units. small grains resulted in discontinu- ance of the old Williston unit in 1914.
