Rains during the last three days materially improved pasture crop conditions in this part of North Dakota, a survey revealed Saturday. Bismarck received 37 of an inch of rain during the 24 hours ending at 7 a. m., and this brought to 47 the amount of rain falling in the last 48 hours. ‘The effect was to greatly freshen pastures and lawns and to soak the £0il to a depth of about six inches. Weather Observer O. W. Roberts said he has dug in numerous fields re- cently and that moisture exists from 10 inches to a foot down. On the theory that “once it starts to rain it is a good sign,” Roberts expressed hope that rainfall during May would be up to or above normal.

Engineers Okay Heart River Project BUT MISSOURI RIVER DIVERSION PROJECT MEETS OPPOSITION Series of Dams Recommendec for Construction Along Course of Heart GLEN ULLIN. GETS LARGEST Army Experts Say Garrison Dam Too Costly for Value of Benefits Possible Favorable report on the proposed development of the Heart river basin in Western North Dakota, but op- position to the plan to divert waters of the Missouri river into '° ils Lake was made public Saturday by army engineers at Washington, according to Associated Press dis- patches. The report, including the Heart river plan, now goes to the reclama- tion bureau in the interior depart- ment which already has indicated its ‘approval. The Heart river plan entails con- struction of a series of dams to pre- vent recurring floods at Mandan and provide water for irrigation. The largest of the dams would be located near Glen Ullin. See Few Benefits Taking the main-stem of the Mis- sourl river as a whole and including & diversion plan, the engineers esti- mated the cost of such works at $54,-. 000,000 and the benefits, if two irri- gation projects were omitted, at only $7,500,000. The exact, cost of the two irrigation © projects at Verendrye and Karlsruhe, the engineers and reclamation divi- sion have considered it. Senator Nye gaid the report offered these principal alternative cost esti- to be the same under either plan: Devils Lake lateral, $1,802,000; James River lateral, $213,000; Cheyenne riv- er’ lateral, $1,260,000; Vendyre project, $1,070,000, and Karlsruhe, $418,000, ‘The canals would run from the di- version works in the river to the tun- nel and the main canals would be con- structed at the end of the tunnel to feed the laterals for the various irri- gation projects and Devils Lake. London Is Crippled as 25,000 Stage Walkout London, May 1—(?)—Twenty-five thousand London busmen went on strike Saturday, seriolsly crippling the city’s transportation system, and the possibility arose that subway and streetcar workers might join the strike to completely paralyze the metropolitan transport network. The May day walkout, only 12 days before King George's coronation, started shortly after midnight in an attempt to enforce workers’ demands for a reduction of the working day from eight to seven and one-half hours and for slower bus schedules. Government negotiators attempted to find a solution to the situation, fearing the subway and surface car unions, allied with the busmen, might strike in sympathy when London is jammed with coronation visitors.
