Good Statesmanship Advices from men close to Governor Langer indicate that this legislature will be asked to actively support the work of the federal government in constructing dams in North Dakota and for putting the water impounded by such dams to good use. Ample indication of this is found in the message of the governor to the legislature, with which this newspaper is in whole-hearted agreement. Said the governor: “To restore and maintain the water level, to prevent our wells, which furnish 90 per cent of the water supply to our farmers, from drying up, and to provide an ample sup- he SCENES i Washington Some Startling Facts Creep Into Lat- est Congressional Directory ... The Lady from Oregon Tells of Friend- ship With Roosevelts ... Others Ring in Their Children .. . There's Real Variety of Biographies, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 13—Members of Congress have seldom, if ever, chosen the Congressional Directory asa place to refer to their friendships. with per- sons in high places, and certainly not to any drag they may have with the president. Women have broken stronger pre- cedents than that, however, and in the biography contributed to the di- rectory by Congresswomen Nan Wood Honeyman (new) of Oregon, one reads that “it was during her school days in the Empire state that, through mutual friends, she became acquaint- ed with Franklin and Eleanor Roose- velt, who were near her own age, and the friendship has endured the years.” Members of the 75th Congress re- veal a great many surprising things about themselves in these biogra- phies — including their ideas as to those things in their lives which oth- ers might care a whoop about, and many proud, fond memories. Congressman Alfred Noroton Phil- Ups of Connecticut proves himself a gent of complete candor, who would never deceive anybody, by reporting that he “organized the American Le- gion in the state of Connecticut, with the exception of one county”—with- out explaining about the county he didn’t organize. * * 8 ply of water through the construction of dams and reser- voirs for primary irrigation purposes, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU PROMOTE IRRIGATION OF ENOUGH LANDS TO RAISE THE PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO - SUSTAIN HUMAN LIFE; TO RAISE ENOUGH FORAGE FOR OUR LIVESTOCK, OR AT LEAST FOR OUR FOUN- DATION HERDS, BECAUSE WE CANNOT BUILD NOR LONG MAINTAIN A PROFITABLE LIVESTOCK AND DAIRY INDUSTRY IN THIS STATE WHEN WE MUST SHIP IN OR PURCHASE OUR FORAGE AT A PROHIBI- TIVE COST -OR ELSE SACRIFICE OUR LIVESTOCK EVERY OTHER YEAR AT RUINOUS PRICES; AND TO RAISE AN AMPLE SUPPLY OF SEED. — “,,..1 BELIEVE IN IRRIGATION AS THE MOST PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE METHOD TO SUSTAIN THE FARM FAMILY; TO REDUCE POVERTY TO A MINIMUM, TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT -- AND TO REMOVE OUR DISTRESSED FARMERS FROM POOR RELIEF ROLLS. MANIFESTLY IT IS BETTER PUBLIC POLICY AND ECONOMY TO RESTORE PROS- PERITY THAN TO REMOVE OUR PEOPLE FROM THE STATE UNDER A FEDERAL RESETTLEMENT PLAN.” That, in the judgment of this newspaper, is both good statesmanship and good sense. It recognizes the things which we can do for ourselves to meet the situation which we, at least in part, have brought upon ourselves. > It reaffirms the faith which all of us have in western North Dakota, without being fatuous as to the problems which must be solved. For months this newspaper has been contending that irri- gation offers the only way out of many troubles which beset us. It may create new ones of its own, but these will hardly be as difficult as those which we now face. . This newspaper has concentrated its attention upon pro- posals to irrigate the bottom lands along the Missouri river in the belief that they offer the quickest and cheapest way to get started. At the same time it has not been insensible to the possibilities of irrigation along smaller streams or by impound- ing water at suitable dam sites. Only a little irrigation will insure the farmer’s garden crop and there are years when a good garden means the difference between getting by without undue difficulty and going into debt or having to ask for help. In: the irrigated districts of Idaho, in the same latitude as North Dakota, farmers pasture six dairy cows per acre on alfalfa pasture—and there is plenty of feed for them. By using elfalfa pasture they raise hogs for two cents a pound, Sheep are summered on upland ranges and wintered on alfalfa hay. The same is true of beef cattle. In such areas irrigation acts as a balance wheel. tects the investment in other forms of agriculture. That is the thing which the governor envisions for North Dakota. That is the kind of agriculture which keeps the farmer afloat in bad times and enables him to profit in good times. It is the best insurance against agricultural calamity which it is ead to obtain. Directly or indirectly it will benefit every mer, It pro- Why Not—and Here? Wool from North Dakota sheep is selling, in the raw, for around 26 cents a pound. In its natural state it is dirty and greasy. It contains burrs, little sticks and other foreign matter which add to its weight but detract from its value. Washed and combed into bats, such as are used in making comforters for beds, it sells for about $1.80 cents a pound. Of course, a pound of raw wool isn’t a pound of wool washed, combed and ready to use, but the loss in weight is not propor- tlonal to the increase in value. : _ On this basis the suggestion made to the governor by re- search experts at the state university and relayed by him to the legislature in his annual message, seems born of common + sense. Their idea is that North Dakota might provide useful employment for persons at one of its institutions by installing 2 a wool-washing plant, the main conditions being that the avail- able labor be coupled with plenty of water. Such an industry would compete with none now organized ' in the state and might, on the other hand, contribute to the “organization of other industry. It also might enable the state to make substantial savings in the operation of its own institu- tions, for large quantities of wool are used annually in connec- tion with the bedding needs of charitable, penal and educational institutions. If the idea is sound—and it seems to be—the only questions remaining are how much the washing installation would cost ‘and where it should be located. And when consideration is ven these matters logic points to the state prison here, _, There the two important factors are combined in full meas- tire. And it is only there that this is true. Bismarck has the ‘water and the penitentiary has the labor. Western North Da- “kota has the wool, Ex-Senator ard, Republican, has a footnote biog- raphy showing him to have been dep- uty registrar of ‘motor vehicles in Hennepin county, Minn., for 22 years.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she turned on the spotlight and made her way slowly down to the big storeroom. Nothing unusual here. She looked rather disdainfully at the boxes and barrels, then walked to the blank wall that had proved so absorbing to Profes- sor Shaw.

Giving the panel a little push, she was amazed to see it glide back into place, leav= ing not the slightest crack to show its location.
