When completed, the dam will form a reservoir almost eight miles in length and end a battle, which has been going on since 1961, between Canora engineers and beavers. Department of Highways to oil Main Street as part of No. 5 and No. 35 highways.

It was expected that the oiling would commence this week and would take about two days to complete. In order to protect the citizens against faulty work the council passed an amendment to the licensing bylaw. The amendment provides that every person carrying on the business of painter or decorator, plumber, the installation of heating units, building or general contractor, not otherwise assessed for a business tax or office here, if a non-resident, must post a performance bond in the amount of $500 for one years duration. Also passed at the meeting was a discount bylaw to become effective next January 1, whereby resident taxpayers will receive a discount of five per cent on taxes paid on or before the last day of February; four per cent before the last day of March; three per cent by April 30; two per cent by May 31; and one per cent on or before the last day of June. Where payments are received prior to the completion of the tax roll the tax will be estimated on the basis of the tax assessed against the property for the preceding year.

The discounts authorized under the by'aw do not apply to Local Improvement levies or charges placed on the tax roll for collection. A sanitation report compiled by the sanitation officer, V. Robinson, was read. It noted several improvements over previous years, Including a weekly garbage pickup service; the demolition of at least 42 obsolete outside pit privies; and the removal or demolition of some of the older houses and sheds.

The owner, Ernest Clunie of Valparaiso, reported that about $400 in silver had been stolen. Entry was made by forcing the rear door of the building. cinity of die earth dam and calmly began measuring it up for the best possible way of taking it apart to get their water back. Engineer Grams and the and men were just as curious as anyone to see how the beavers intended to get their water back upriver if they were allowed to take the coffer dam apart, but it was almost time for the big freeze so they strung chicken wire all over the little dam and posted a guard. In spite of such heroic defenses, in the end, human engineers won a partial victory.

Canora residents had barely enough water left to survive the winter. In the spring they moved a mile downstream of Canora reservoir. Right now they have a dam there so big, theyve raised the water level of the section below Canora Dam by nearly five feet. Knits go places, do things with such composure, such flair!

Each to The Knit nine possible sites along the water course resulted In a choice of site No. 163 along the sixth and seventh ranges just below the junction of Lawrie Creek. The site, located some 40 miles upstream from Canora, was a natural in that the resulting reservoir would inundate approximately 1,170 acres of land, of which only 7 per cent was under cultivation.

The land to be flooded was sub-marginal and only four miles of road would go under. A survey showed there were 150 farmsteads bordering this 40-mile section of river. The cattle population in 1960 in the area was about 25,000 bead. It soon became quite obvious that a control dam on site No. 163 would prove tremendously advantageous to a large rural area.

The good news came Saturday, April 7 1962, when it was announced that the project had received the blessing of the government. It was approved. Following the announcement of approval, clearing of the site began in the spring of 1962. Simultaneously, the Theodore Dam Recreation Committee was formed. This committee, made up of representatives, from the RMs of Good Lake, Garry, Insinger; the villages of Springside, Theodore, Insinger, Jedburgh and Sheho and this town, was formed for the purpose of developing recreational facilities at the site.

Thus far there has been some argument as to which area would be best for resort purposes. Agrologist Walter Mysak of Canora has been able to recommend several sites well-suited to this purpose. The best area, according to Mr. Mysaks study of the locality, is Wolf Point in the vicinity of the now-extinct Wolf Bridge. Mr.

Mysak points out that this area is naturally-sloped, well-wooded for cottage, swimming and boating purposes. The, battle with the beavers started in the dry summer of 1961 when examination of river showed the riverbed bone dry but with several sections above the town dam filled as beavers had set up a complex of dams. Whether the beavers trapped the water that would have otherwise wound up in Canora reservoir or whether the water they saved would have gone on down, over and is a question the engineers did not care to discuss. They decided to blow holes in the beaver dams to let the water down into the reservoir. Then the fun began.

Failing to see any humor in the situation, the beavers organized to repel all efforts. Human engineers went around punching holes, beaver engineers followed, patching them. An engineer would open a dam with no beaver in sight. The moment his back was turned Bingo! the damage was repaired, good as new. Finally, when human engineers had pirated what they estimated to be enough water to serve their needs, they built a coffer dam under No.

5 highway bridge to hold back the water in the reservoir and pumped it over. But the beavers were not through. In no time at all several of them appeared in the vi- By EDWARD BELITSKY CANORA Canora townspeople and the beavers in the Whitesand River will soon be in position to negotiate a lasting truce. In the near future there will be enough water for both parties and peace will prevail. As the Whitesand River Dam nears completion, the chances of repeating the ugly hostilities over water during the fall of 1961 diminish in direct proportion to the progress made on the dam.

Construction of the Whitesand River Dam, located some five miles northeast of Theodore, was now heading into its final stages of completion. Great bulldozers and Euclids swarm over the hillsides, moving earth and forming it into a dike that will ultimately be 1,200 feet long, 45 feet high and measuring 20 feet across at the top. A concrete spillway and control tower will soon be ready to tame the estimated 10,000 acre-feet of water that will eventually be held back In the reservoir. When full, the lake-reservoir will measure nearly eight miles in length, forking out into twin prongs at the junction of Lawrie Creek and the Whitesand. It was estimated to contain enough water for the farmsteads, Canora and all the beavers living Up and down the river.

Whitesand River Dam Is the result of four years of planning, sparked by anxiety during dry years when water was at a premium. The idea was first conceived by a Conference of officials from the municipalities of Sliding Hills, Insinger, Good Lake end this town in June, 1959. After considering various Water problems, the officials concluded that immediate steps be taken to conserve and control the waters of the Whitesand River. Consequently, a motion to the effect that the conference constitute a body to be called the Whitesand River Flood Control and Water Conservation Association, was passed. The association was to be comprised of at least one representative from each of the participating municipalities.

Following this, the conference passed a resolution to petition the PFRA to undertake such a project in the interest of the farming communities served by this river. PRESENTED BRIEFS Tnat was the beginning. Subsequently, briefs were brought before the proper authorities for their consideration. But the ponderous machinery of government seemed to bog down until the drought 1961 when the problem of water conservation was brought into sharp focus. At this time, the association stepped up its efforts to get a sympathetic ear.

As a result of the clamor. Minister of Agriculture Alvin Hamilton attended a meeting of municipal officials here in April, 1962, when the advantages of a flood control dam were outlined to him by area agrologist Walter Mysak as well as others. At this conference, Mr. Hamilton told representatives that the Whitesand control plan fit Into the overall PFRA scheme in that its policy Was to conserve water by controlling it.

Jarman presented Wing Cmdr. Hal Spector, site commander, with the sector shield and Montana mementoes. Situated as close to the Albert a-Saskatchewa border as is possible (the road to the operations area straddles the border), the site was begun in the fall of 1961. Like a boom town the completely modem structures have sprung up outside this small town, population 200, making possible many modem conveniences for the community, such as the installation of a dial telephone system. The Alsask squadron Is one of seven to be specifically built as a CADIN site.

The Cold Lake squadron was already built and was converted. The site is equipped with one search radar and two height finders, the information from which is fed into the SAGE center at Maimstrom Air Force Base via telephone lines.

The experts, a team of U.S. agriculture department agron omists and economists, are headed back to Washington after a month-long tour of farms In the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia with Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman. The scientists asked not to be quoted by name because their findings, which eventually will be published in Washington, still are tentative. One of Freemans experts told a reporter that Russia may soon achieve a wheat surplus and move strongly into the international wheat market in four or five years. Another expert said it is time to stop talking about agriculture as the Achilles heel of Eastern Europe and to start thinking about where they are weak and where they are strong.

It was the teams general opinion that Russias wealth of land provides an enormous potential for agriculture stili only partly realized. TAKES OVER DUTIES TISDALE Rev. L. Alder, Mrs Aider and family arrived here recently from Carman, Man. Mr.
