Idleness is dangerous at all times, and y it the rich young men of this country among is specially dangerous, because they have the means and the inclination to make mischief. The colleges turn out hundreds of young men every year who have no aim in life, no occupation and no desire to work. Their fathers worked to earn the money they spend. Work makes character. Idleness destroys character. Character makes a nation strong; lack of it makes a nation weak. We must find some way to employ our idle rich young men if we are to remain a strong people. The unemployed young men of wealth must find out what they can do, and then do it, if they would make good citizens. Let them live on what, they earn, and within their incomes as they earn them. When they have learned the necessity for work it will he time enough for them to use their wealth, for they can then perhaps employ it for some useful purpose. to-da- American hoys arc smoking too much.

The power for this project is transmitted electrically from Williston, over a transmission line. To utilize the water of the unruly river water is first lifted about 30 feet by centrifugal pumps installed on a floating barge, through steel pipes with flexible points, into a large settling basin, where practically all the silt carried by the river is deposited. From the lower end of this basin a canal about ten miles long carries the water to about 10,000 acres of bottom lands. At the outlet of this canal is a concrete building in which are installed pumps which lift water 50 feet reinthrough half a mile of four-foforced concrete pipe to the high line canal, which continues east to the town of Trenton, a distance of about eight miles. East of Trenton is another river bottom of about 4,000 acres which will be irrigated, but the system for this land has not yet been Btarted. The farm units under this project vary from 40 to 80 acres of irrigable land, depending upon the location, and wherever practicable a tract of grazing land has been Included in the farm unit, bringing the total to 120 or 160 acres. The building charge is $35 per acre, payable in not less than five nor more than ten annual installments, each not less than $3.50 per acre. In addition to this, the settler must pay a fixed charge of 50 cents per acre of irrigable land for operation and main- - Seventh West PROV O, UTAH e to Be Used In RaisLarge Tracts in Sections of Dakota.

But for taking advantage of the temporary rise, which afforded the necessary depth of water over the ends of the ways, the barge could not have been launched till at least a month later.
