In 1984, when the first great drouth struck, thousands of cattle died or were hurried out of the country because there That condition could prevail again and in the range devel- ‘opments now under way efforts are being made to guard against its recurrence. : One method chosen is to dig trenches where “seep” springs exist. These are the cause of damp, soggy ground in ravines. and elsewhere and are of no use unless something is done about them. The trenches collect the water from these springs, often enough to provide for a fairly large herd. In some places the trench is covered over and all evidence of the reservoir is obliterated, thus guarding against pollution by either men or animals. The water is carried through a pipe toa stock tank, flow being by gravity. This is one answer to the stock water problem. Another is The state water board should and probably will interest it- self in this phase of the conservation program at some time in the future, but there is no good reason why ranchers should wait on it or any other state or federal agency. Seep springs can be developed by individual initiative. And for that matter there is no law against private construction of small dams. a system of water holes which should command the attention Z THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, APRIL 26 ! a.

It must have been a little funny when, beset by the insurgent cruiser fleet, the merchant ships howled for help and brought the giant Hood hurrying to the scene, much as a mother Police dog would come to the rescue of her pups beset by a terrier.

Idle men needed a place to work and what more suitable than to perpetuate the deeds of the doughty past. But there are some case-hardened souls who wonder if enough emphasis has not been placed on the past; if we had not proud of his ancestors, to be sure, but a great deal more inter- ested in what kind of an ancestor he is going to be than in the kind of people his own ancestors were. Parks have their place. We SHOULD reverence the steps by which civilization came to these parts. But too much em- phasis upon this phase of our culture is quitely likely to make us forget the need for further development. After all, the best monument we can raise to the memory of the pioneers is the kind of a civilization they wished their children to have. ‘+ Passing of an Epic American shipping lines are adopting the old slogan of “join the navy and see the world.” : Adventurous youth in these days apparently no longer looks to the sea.
