President Favors
Irrigation Over
Navigation Plan
President Roosevelt has taken a
hand in the controversy between
navigation and irrigation interests
over the use of the waters of thei
~,lssouri River by recommending inI
~a letter to the chairman of theI
House rivers and harbors committee
'that the use of waters of the
Missouri River for municipal, do-
mestic and livestock water supply,
for irrigation of arid and semi-arid
lands, and for mining and indus-
~ial purposes shall not be affected"
by the 9-foot channel bill.
The navigation interests, through
their bill for a 9-foot channel be-
low Sioux City, would appropriate
Practically all the waters of the
river, leaving very little if any for
Irrigation.
-The. President says further: "I
am convinced that the bill in cer-
tain particulars overlooks the fact
that the full development of the
~ountry's natural resources calls for
the evaluation ef navigation pro-
Jects in the light of their effect
related uses of water, in-
irrigation, power produc-
tion, flood control, and fisheries.
"--Here I have in mind the policies
I~ad procedures established by the
Congress through such basic enact-
~lents $m the Reclamation Act of
1902."
: Accordingly, I recommend that
m~ltable provision--be made in the
~bllI for the undertaking by the
~ureau of Reclamation, in the form
~d manner prescribed by these
laws, of reclamation works connect-
ed with or dependent upon projects
eover~ by the bills".
There is no ~pposition among
%he friends of irrigation to water
~avlgation, as such. Governor
and the Governors of Mon-
tana and Wyoming expressed the
of all in a joint state-
before the flood control and
and harbors committees of
House, when they said:
"We are not opposing the use of
reasonable amount of water for
below Sioux City but we
emphatic that the use in per-
of 32,000 or 35,000 c,.~bic
of water per second out of an
t
annual flow of 37,600 does
constitute either the most
~onomic or the most beneficial
~e of such a valuable natural
~ource."

Local Man Raises
New and Better
Variety of Tuber
Jack Llndt of Beach, who has
made a hobby of raising and de-
veloping good table potatoes for
many years, has now hit on what
he and many others who have
used his potatoes, consider the most
suitable variety yet developed in
western North Dakota.
IAndt's potato is known as the
'~urple Heart," the name applying
to the outward appearance, the in-
side being a nice clear-white. He
states that this potato is a good
yielder, good keeper, large and uni-
form in size, thin-skinned, shallow-
eyed and the richness in vitamin
content makes them ideal for table
use.
Mr. IAndt has sold a great many
of these potatoes during the past
years and right now is taking
orders for seed, samples of the
"Pinkie Heart" being on display at
the Golden Valley News office.

!Army Stands Ready To

I l~use of tl~e vast and rapid ex- .the a_ppllmcaantt~tto l~e~ilate
'pans|on of the army,,, many re|a- ~ance?z itgre~ been established re;
tive$ and friends of the man in "
service" are uncer~in as to where mutual aid to the soldier and his
and to whom to go for advice and
aid about personal affairs in which
they have a common interest with
him. Often there have been un-
necessary delays, confusion, dupli-
cation, or lack of attention, and
disappointment because these per-
sons knew nobody to direct them.
A mother notified by the war
department of the death of her
son in action overseas, waits and
wonders when and how she will
receive his personal effects, not
knowing that long ago the army
established a very detailed, com-
prehensive service for that purpose.
Sudden and severe illness, an ac-
cident, possibly death, occurs in a
rather improver|shed family whose
mainstay is "somewhere on the
other side", known to them only
by an APO number. If he were
with them, they say, he would pro-
vide. Again the army stands ready
to act in his stead until com-
munication with him can be had
.by the family.
An allotment check has not ar-
rived and no reason is known, an
insurance problem arises, hospitali-
zation is needed, court action may
be impending~all of these are
only a few of the many problems
in which the army long has been
prepared to assist in addition to
fighting a war.
Now, because its own agencies are
numerous and there are many or-.
ganizations outside of its jurisdic-
tion, it has taken another very
forward step by establishing within
its own ranks and without author-
ization of any additional fund, a
personal affairs office.
This is the first office to which
any relative or friend of a man in
service should go for assistance.
Liaison is maintained by this office
with almost every other govern-
menal agency whether within or
without the army. Not only does
the list of liaisons include the
American Red Cross, the Army
Emergency Relief. the Veterans' ad-
ministration, office of dependecy
benefits, office of the Judge Ad-
vacate General, federal social secur-
ity, civil service commmission and
other like organizations, but also
numerous civilian and private
groups. The new army office does
not attempt to perform the duties
of any of these but rather to direct
dinner was given in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Leonard Trester, the
event being their 25th wedding an-
niversary. About 30 people were
entertained, including friends and
relatives of the couple. The eve-

with high going to Alfred ~eckert
and low to Irvin Ueckert of the
men and to Mrs. Harry Olson and
Mrs. Hubert Schmitz of the ladies.
The door prize was won by Mrs. H.

were received by the honor guests

Highway Aid
Investment of federal funds
North Dakota highway construction
will repay the nation many times
in lower food costs, state highway
commissioner J. S. Lamb told a
congressional committee in Wasl~-
ington, D. C. Saturday, in urging
passage of a $3,000,000,000 federal
appropriation bill for post-war
highway construction in the
nation.
Lamb told the committee it
would cost in excess of $150,000.000
to modernize North Dakota's high-
way system, both primary and
secondary, the primary sYstem
alone costing $86,500,00.
Bills now pending in the house
and senate call for matching on
a 25-75 basis, states contributing
25 percent and the federal gov-
ernment 75 percent of the cost of
construction.
"Our state would be wholly un-
able to m~toh any appreciable
amount of federal money on any
matching ratio larger than a ~
percent contribution by the state,"
L~mb said, "North Dakota has
had great difficulty in Pest yeszs
in matching regular federal ~id.
For several years this difficulty was
recognized by congress and the
public roads acin~strathm. P~ed-
eral aid was therefore m~de avail-
able to North Dakota in those years
on a 100 percent federal basis."
Lamb pointed out out-of-state
traffic contribute very little to the
upkeep of North Dakota roads. He
called attention to the great ton-
nage of livestock and ~ which
is moved out of the state annually
and said that "If a saving of only
one "cent a bushel on crops were
made available by better highways
the annual reduction in the cost"
of these commodities to the con-
sumer would amount to $3,500,000
and in 10 years' time the entire
amount appropriated to North Da-
kota under the terms of the pro-
posed highway bill would be re-
turned to the taxpayers of the na-
tion on a straight population basis
in the form of reduced prices/'
North Dakota's share of the pro-
posed appropriation would be $37,-
000,000. commmissioner Lamb said.
Based on a 25 percent contribu-
tion by the state, North Dakota
would have to match its share with
between 12 and 13 million dollars
in state funds.
Both state and federal funds
would thus provide North Dakota
with approximately $50,000,000 for
post-war road construction, only
one-third of the amount Lamb es-
timated would be needed to com-
pletely modernize the state's pri-
mary, secondary and urban roads.
Lamb sald. however, that $50,000.-
000 would "'materially improve
NOrth Dakota highways."

other fields seeded to grass.
