It hesitated, however, at a decision which would throw 40,000 persons out of work and stop a weekly payroll of $1,500,000.

Knapp, state engineer of Kansas, expressed the hope that he could be of service in working out ® sound and constructive water de- velopment policy for this state. Knapp is the man who directed the Kansas water development program which attracted wide attention in 1936 when Gov. Alf M, Landon ran for president, and was recommended to the North Dakota board by W..W. McLaughlin, head of the irrigation division of the federal department of employment for a. six-month period, McLaughlin said he considered it es- sential that the work in North Da- kota “have experienced direction dur- ing its formative period.” As supervi engineer Knapp will succeed M. R. Lewis, detailed to North Dakota by McLaughlin during the last two months but now assigned to su- pervise work for the government in adjacent states as well. Lewis’ serv- ices have been without cost to the state. He will continue to be avail- able for consulation by Knapp, Chief Engineer E. J. Thomas and other tech- nicians and members of the board. Work on 15 Projects Meanwhile, the engineering staff under Thomas’ direction is drawing detailed plans for 15 irrigated proj- ects asked by individual farmers. It is hoped to get them started so that crops may be grown on them this summer, ‘The projects are the first approved under the new law which permits the farmer to contract with the water board for certain services and over-. wage brackets are|Thomas hopes to complete 50 such projects for spring construction. Altogether the: board now has ceived some 200 inquiries and 88 a plications have been received for pre- liminary investigation. The number includes two large co- operative projects, the biggest for 1,- 000 acres on the Missouri river south of Bismarck and the other for 800 acres near Cartwright, water ‘to be taken from the Yellowstone river. Kansas Gets Real Benefit Discussing the Kansas water con- servat » Knapp said it has been of immense benefit to that state. Western Kansas, he said, has plenty of ground water, but North Central Kansas suffered severely from drouth in 1934, many cities and towns and numberless farms being without water in 1934. Many municipalities built dams with PWA help and thousands of farm ponds were constructed under the state’s water law with the result that the drouth of 1936, while it ru- Nearly every large city in Kansas has @ local reservoir to solve its mu- nicipal supply problem, he said, and in addition there are 15 to 18 state lakes located in state parks.

That is the assertion of R. M. Stee, Bismarck, consulting mining neer, who declared Monday North Dakota's first modern gold recovery equipment will be on location in three weeks for a “big time job.” “The first commercial gold placer plant will be operating in central North Dakota this month, working gravel which pit-run assays show has gold content of 35 to 60 cents:a, yard,” Stee said. “The machine averages more than 500 yards daily, he re- ported. Location Not Revealed The engineer said tests had been made only in Ward, McLean, Morton and Burleigh counties. He would not reveal exact location of the new plant until operations start. Reclamation of gold, scattered over the western two-thirds of the state during the glacial age when the ice sheet re-made North Dakota's face, is being fostered by the Dakota Min- erals Development company, of which Charles W.

They are free to marry now when- ever they chosoe—perhaps at a Bri- tish consular office in Grance or at a French townhall—but probably not until after the pageantry of state that will put Edward’s crown on the head of his brother, King George VI, nine days hence, These swift developments Monday morning brought ever closer the union of the lonely duke and the Baltimore-born woman whose love changed an empire's crown and thrilled the whole world. Judge Nods Head In London, Presiding Judge sir Boyd Merriman in the divorce court nodded his head over 78 final divorce cases, one of them “Simpson, W., vs. Simpson, E. A.” and said: “I pro- nounce the decrees absolute.” At St. Wolfgang, Edward of Wind- sor, for a mountain hike, answered the telephone; then an- nounced through his adjutant: “The duke is taking the 4 o'clock train at Salzburg—destination, Tours.” At the Chateau de Cande, France, near Tours, Mrs. Simpson, in seclu- sion ag deep as before, let her attor- neys handle the dearee ‘alted her spokesman insisted, until after the coronation, But the fact remained that Mrs. Simpson, who married Ernest Aldrich Simpson, her second husband, on July 21, 1928, was legally free to mar- ty the former king st any moment, Hastens to France Edward bade his Austrian retreat goodbye and hastened toward hia newly freed betrothed in France. ‘Wallis told him by telephone: “Hur- ryup!” When the express pulled out of Salzburg toward France, at 9:45 a.m. .

The train is due in Paris Tuesday morn- Just before noon, the telephone rang in the remodeled pension, Ap- pesbach, where the former king of a quarter of the world has spent the last of the lonely exile that began last December. Learns News By Phone Edward was putting on his moun- tain climbing togs. He went to the telephone; learned Mrs. Simpson had been finally divorced from Ernest Aldrich Simpson in London, Immediately he called the chateau de Cande in France, and in a few minutes he was speaking to his fiancee. Then, just at noon, the duke an- nounced he was leaving at once for Tours, near the chateau. There was no disguising his elation. Edward's crisp orders galvanized the house into action, Bags were piled into the duke’s car in time for him to catch the 4 o'clock express from Salzburg. A small truck took some of the luggage from St. Wolfgang. Rushes Out Hatless With the necessary orders given, the duke rushed hatless from the villa toward where newspapermen and TWO PERSONS HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENTS Man Struck on Highway Near Mandan; Rural Bismarck Boy Is Injured Two persons were in local hospi- the| tais Monday, one unconscious and the other not seriously injured, as the result of injuries suffered in automo- bile accidents Saturday and Sunday.
