BILLINGS, MONTANA THE SUNSHINE DAM, jA GREAT NEED SAYS DRY EARNER AT OTTO Lower Greybull Favors Build ing Os Reservoir And Sees No Danger To Settlers In Big Dirt Dam ■ z Editor Cody Enterprise: I see an article in your paper writ ten by O. B. Mann against the Reser voir to be constructed by the people,' so we might have ample water to ir rigate with. Now I am going to give* you the ranchers’ side of it for the' reservoir. In the first place, the progress of this country is blocked by not having sufficient water to irrigate during the 1 summer months. Now Mr. O. B. Mann takes the stand that this is a death trap and our farms should not' be taxed to construct it. I can’t see where this is a death trap when the very best efficient en gineers that can be had have passed on it and report it safe. Men who have spent all their lives, doing such work should know whether or not this dam would hold —in fact,! I don’t think any rancher who never i had any experience doing engineering' work should call this a death trap,i when he don’t know what he is talk-! ing about. Now then, let’s look at the tax part! of this. Isn’t it right to build a proj-i ect like this where everyone is inter-! ested to to tax our homes to build it.' Now, 1 have lived in this country and watched the progress of this val ley for the past thirty-one years, and j this country has been built to the highest standard that it can go under: the existing circumstances. We have' one of the richest valleys here, per haps, in the world. Situated in the sunshine of Woming, and one of the healthiest places on the globe, this valle could support ten times and per-' haps twenty times as many people as live here today, as there are thous ands of acres of good land that does n’t produce just for lack of water. It is a fact that every dollar we put in to this Sunshine Reservoir, we will! receive perhaps five in return as the country will progress. Now the com missioners whom the people have e-| lected to handle our affairs in regards to this dam have done all necessary! work in having this soil an al i zed and also test wells put down where the: dam is to be located to see if the earth 'would hold water. All is satisfac-, tory, now we as a people the majority! of us want a Reservoir and feel the need of it badly, as we have seen our crops burn up many a time for want of water. Just a few years ago we lost most all our crops in a time which caused us to lose thousands of dollars. I don’t know but what we lost enough that one year to build this res ervoir. Every year we lose enough to pay the interest on the money it would cost to build IL But we can get this dam and ample water for this valley. We will have a railroad and the man agers of sugar beet companies are eagerly watching this country and v will have large Sugar factories and thousands of acres of land will come under cultivation, that today lies in waste. We can see this country has a great future If we but put our shoul der to the wheel and build this dam which will bring prosperity to our homes for thousands more families. Now there never was any great enter prise built or any great work done without some opposition, but let us not be M fossils, but let us go at the greater works of life with brotherly love and keep one of our Savior’s greatest commandments, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Let's build this dam that thousands of families may find a home in this valley and prosperity reign where now poverty exists, because we are short of water. Again the writer, Mr. O. B. Mann, states no person shall be de prived of life and property without due process of law. Now, I would like to ask my friend. Mr. Mann, if he has been asleep for the past few years since the reservoir has been in courts and It is the will of the people to build it Now, the feeling in the low er end of tills valley is almost unani mous in favor of the reservoir. God bo made the location by nature that we might store water for future use, that his people might enjoy pros perity. We do not get as much water now during the the latter part of the season as we did fifteen or twenty years ago, because years ago we had lots of grass on the mountains to hold the snow back. So it would distribute It out over a longer period, but today the mountains are barren and bare in the fall of the year because they are overstocked, the shrubbery as well as the grass is eaten off close to the ground and of course there is nothing to hold the snow back and the result Is no water In the latter part of the summer. And the time Is here now for us to construct this dam so we can hold back what water we need for the latter part of the season. CRIPPLED MAN GETS I ANOTHER CHANCE State of Wyoming Provides for Re training Disabled Citizens. “For three years after I became crippled I worked for my board and clothes, and not many of the latter,” said a young Wyoming ranch hand who had lost a leg as a result of an accident. He had previously done no work other than ranching and the loss of his leg made him almost useless for that work, so he was indeed in an un fortunate situation. Last winter he learned of the provisions made by the State of Wyoming for the retraining of disabled persons and applied for , training. The young man was visited ! by a representative of State De . partment of Education, and a study ( was made of occupations for which he might be prepared. He desired to be : trained as a bookkeeper and office as sistant and this training Is now being provided. The reports' from his In i structors indicate that he is making excellent progress and that. In a few months, he will be self-supporting in an occupation where the loss of bls i leg Is not a material handicap. I It is no longer necessary for a per son in Wyoming who is physically dis abled to become a subject «f charity or a burden on friends or relatives. | The State has proved for the re- Uabllltation of such persons, and has appropriated funds w*hlch w{Jl help i them to become self-supporting. Many people know of the rehabilitation I training which Is provided for dls- I abled ex-service men, but not so many ■ understand that the State offers j similar opportunities to people In civil i life who have been disabled by accl- • dent or disease. Much progressive educational legislation has been en- 'j acted in Wyoming, but none which Is 1 more progressive than this which ex tends educational opportunities to un- • fortunate people who formerly had i none. The State Board of Education Is in charge of the rehabilitation service and inquiries regarding the work should be sent to the State Depart ment of Education at Cheyenne. No special schools or courses of study have been organized for the members of the Board feel that disabled people must be treated individually and not as groups. When handling a case two problems must be solved: First, find ing an occupation for which the dis abled person can be trained, and, sec ond, providing the training. The first of these problems is really the more difficult. The occupation selected must be one for which the disabled person can be properly trained, and which he has fair chances of suc ’ Whenever possible the previous training and experience of the appli cant is utilized so that the problem of training can be made as simple as I possible. Thus the disabled machin ist may use his knowledge of machin ery as a salesman, or the ex-carpen ter may become an architect. After the proper occupation has been determined, the problem of pro viding the training is then taken up. la some cases this is secured by school attendance. In other cases such pro cedure does not* seem possible, so the applicant may be given a correspond ence course or a tutor may be provided. In many cases, however, none of these methods can be used, and the disabled person Is trained by placing Mm directly “on the job.” A man, wbe was totally blinded by an explosion, wished to learn to weave carpets. Arrangements were made and he Is now being trained In a shop where work of that kind is done. The State net only provides for all costa of training, but In cases where the disabled person must leave home while being trained, a maintenance allowance of $lO per week Is made. The benefits of the act apply to any person who has a physical disability which serves as a vocational handicap, and who can be prepared to take up some other line of work. There are no restrtctlons as to the cause of the disability, and none as to the occupa tions for which people may be trnlhed. The rehabilitation work Is entirely in dependent of the Workmen’s Compen sation Department, and the training provided la offered to persons who have been disabled In industry or otherwise. The State Department of Education ia very anxious to learn of all persona who may be Interested Ln the benefits of the act, and prompt attention will be given to all letters of inquiry. About sixty caaes of dl»- abilfty have been reported, but Lt Is probable that there are at least two hundred other people tn the State for wboan training might be furnished. Population in Belgium. According to ti>-. latest official fig urea, the populn* on of Belgium li 7,478,840. When conditions are right for it to rain or snow it does and the time is here now to store this water that oth erwise goes to waste. It will make our farms worth three times as murk per acre. There is no greater monument that we can erect to our lives than to build the dam that will store water for this valley and bring prosperity to its people. The opportunity confronts us today to do a work that if done will stamp improvement on the wings of time, and leave our footprints on the sands of time, and bring prosperity to* the valley and happiness to the thousands of homes.
