LAKE IS PRECIOUS T0 SWELTERING PEOPLE OF LINTON VICINITY State Dotted With Such Bodies ' of Water Is Goal of Government By BR. E. ANDERSON (Copyright, 1836, Associated Press) Linton, N. D., July 15.—A small expanse of water, so priceless in this Grouth stricken area, meets the eye. It is filled with sweltering farmers and their families, seeking relief from the heat. Livestock drink their fill and waterfowl have a refuge. It is Hanson lake, once a dry coulee, and one of the scores of water con- servation projects completed in North Dakota by the U. 8. biological sur- vey, the CCC and the Works Progress administration. Other similar projects are under ‘way. Hundreds are being planned as North Dakota has become water con- servation conscious. A stricken empire, gasping for its very life, will receive through the pro- gram the two things necessary for sustenance—work for its stricken peo- ple of today, and adequate water for the emergencies of tomorrow. Clients Do Work The department of agriculture bu- reau of biological survey has been ac- tively engaged for the past year in a program of development in the state to meet the water conservation needs! of the prairies. Relief clients are as- signed and do construction work. Already complete or under comple- tion are 54 biological survey projects having a water storage capacity of 117,303 acre feet, or enough water to cover more than 180 square miles to a depth of one foot, according to M. O. Steen, state director. Hundreds more are planned by that agency and the Works Progress administration. “Water for all needs in the vicinity of the projects has been provided, wild life has been conserved, recrea- tion areas developed, erosion checked and employment provided for the drouth stricken people,” Steen assert- ed. Learn Bitter Lesson “The story of the development of water conservation in the drouth area is @ part of the history of the growth of a new, young, empire,” he said. “A new country but a scant 50 years old, | has learned through bitter exper- fences that the conservation of its water resources is essential to its life and orderly progress.” Lake beds, once dry, have been or will be restored through dams, na- tural watersheds are being dammed, forming waterholes on the hot prair.- jes. More than 200 dams will be built by the Works Progress administration. So the greatest conservation move- ment in the history of the northwest Proceeds rapidly and citizens hope this may be their salvation in meeting the future drouth situation. FAMILY QUARREL IS CAUSE OF 3 DEATHS Minnesota Backwoods Village Is Scene of Triple Shooting Hibbing, Minn., July 15.—(®)—A family quarrel Wednesday had re- Sulted in three deaths. The dead were Martin Hautamaki, 50; Maria Siino- nen, 48, and Jack Hautamaki, 39, a brother of Martin, all residents of Tiovola, 30 miles south of here. During a quarrel at the dinner ta- ble, Martin struck Jack over the head with a poker, inflicting a deep wound. ‘The Siinonen woman, housekeeper in the Hautamaki household, went up- stairs to her room, to be followed first by Martin and then Jack. As other members of the family started upstairs, they met Jack com- ing back down. Upstairs they found Martin and the woman dead from bullet wounds. Authorities were notified, and after @ long search, the body of Jack, a bullet wound in the mouth, was found in the woods nearby. motorist’ New York’s gigantic drawbridge across the East River, comprise the vast project linking RS.

BiG HAULING JOB IS DONE BY CITY'S MEN; Street Department Takes 1,500 Born in Pennsylvania Mary Ida Greiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Greiner, was born Feb. 14, 1859, at Putneyville, Pa., and as a child was taken by the family to Nes- sen City, Mich. She was married to Ebenezer A. Brown at Traverse City, Mich., July 14, 1879. Her death occurred on the 57th anniversary of her marriage. Eight’ children, five of whom are living, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

Normally 36 tons of dirt are cleaned off the city’s streets daily but because of the dry weather that amount was increased last year so that approxi- mately 1,500 tons of dirt were taken off the 18 miles of pavement in the city during the fiscal year ending June 30. This was done by going over all the streets four times, a part of the work being done with relief labor. This activity, however, reduced the amount of mud flushed into the catch- basins of the storm sewer system and only one cleaning will be necessary this year, whereas the normal num- ber is two. ‘The business district is flushed weekly and after every storm, ap- proximately 50,000 gallons of water be- ing needed for this purpose. The city street department blades the 200 blocks of dirt streets in the spring and fall, the report asserts, and also takes care of the roads to the airport, to St. Mary’s cemetery, the river road as far as Wards, the road north on Washington St., and the road south to the city limits as well as the roads in the city’s parks. | Nearly 20,000 loads of refuse were | hauled to the city dump last year and | Barbage was collected on an aver-| age of one and three-fourths trips a week, This averaged about 4,000 cubic yards during the hauling season. Pavement repairs are made by the city, being caused largely by the need to repair utility services. The city gets $7 a yard for repairing and gets enough money from this source, Mc- Donald said, to nearly take care of BUILDING INDUSTRY ON UPGRADE HER Report for Last Fiscal Year Shows 180 Construction Permits Issued Construction of all kinds in year ending June 30, according annual report of Myron H. Atkinson, city building inspector, to the city commission. This compares with $597,240 for 1935, $80,870 for 1934 and $40,034 for 1933, the low point in the building industry struction of the new Bismarck high school building during the 1935 build- ing year. New business and public structures built last year were valued at $56,540, compared with $384,515 the year before. ‘The creation of a large number of apartments in private dwellings is re- flected in the fact that $46,502 was spent for residence alterations last year, compared with $15,175 the year before. Another index of the sound basis upon which the. building industry rests in Bismarck is the fact that the number of permits issued in 1936 was 180 as compared with 92 the pre- vious year. GOVERNMENT HAILS BASTILLE DAY ‘VOTE’ Minimum of Clashes Regaded as Expression of Confi- dence by Blum Paris, July 15.—(?)—Leftist leaders hailed Bastille Day celebrations as a “new overwhelming vote of approval” for the Peoples Front government Wednesday. ‘The size of the throngs which con- gregated Tuesday in the Place de la Bastille and the enthusiasm for the government’s program brought fresh hope to Premier Leon Blum and his cabinet. Officials discounted clashes between their followers and nationalist oppon- erts as “unimportant,” declaring the WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE— Without Calomel—And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin’ te Go The liver should | soothed two of liquid bile into, in dally. 1 thie bile Iaot owing freely, your food dossn' tl Hot Weather FOODS When you think the hot weather has paralysed your Come to O’Brien’s foods.

D., July 15.—(?}—Armed with an almost entirely new slate of state office candidates and an 18-plank platform, South Dakota Democrats headed home Wednesday after spend- ing two days preparing for the 1936 general election campaign. The party’s biennial state conven- tion closed Tuesday night after a day devoted to oratorical attacks aimed at the Republicans, adoption of a cam- paign program and selection of nine candidates to fill out the state ticket. Charges of religious persecution were hurled from the convention floor dur ing the contest for secretry of state. Emil Loriks of Arlington, Kingsbury county delegate, in seconding the nomination of Secretary of State Myrtle Morrison for renomination, charged the only reasons she was be- ing opposed were that she sought a third term and “doesn't belong to the right church.” Miss Morrison, a Catholic, was overw! defeated by Goldie Wells of Webster for the nomination, Peterson Turned Out A second state official to be turned cout by the Democrats was Lieut. Gov. Robert Peterson of Centerville, who was defeated for renomination by George Abild of Pukwana.
