Statement From Senator Langer Regarding Restoration Of Funds For The Missouri River Basin, Undated, William Langer

William Langer Papers

This statement that is undated, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to an unspecified committee, argues for the restoration of funds to the US Bureau of Reclamation for the Missouri River Basin in the US Interior Department Appropriation Bill. From the $23,783,600 originally recommended by the US Bureau of the Budget, the US House Committee on Appropriations has recommended a reduction of $13,470,915 leaving only $10,312,685 to fund the Bureau of Reclamation work in the Missouri River basin.

Langer argues that the reductions will endanger the goals of irrigation and low-cost power and needlessly delay projects that are only …

Resolution From Watford City Association Of Commerce Regarding Garrison Dam Pool Level, Undated, Leland M. Stenehjem, Erven W. Day

William Langer Papers

This resolution that is undated, from the Board of Directors of the Watford City (North Dakota) Association of Commerce, argues that a pool level of 1850 feet behind the Garrison Dam will "imperil or destroy" the Lewis and Clark and Buford-Trenton irrigation projects, thus resulting in permanent loss of productions from effected agricultural units, as well as the displacement of many farm families, whereas a pool height of 1830 feet will result in less destruction without interfering with the primary purpose of power generation and water storage.

For these reasons, the Board of Directors, "respectfully urges the joint session of …

The Negro In California Before 1890, A. Odell Thurman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Because so little has been written concerning the Negro in California and because the dynamic and romantic sequences in the development of this country have always interested me, I have become interested in knowing what part the Negro, free and slave, played in this panorama of events. Were there Negroes with early expeditions? To what extent did they migrate to the West when "gold fever" had become a nation-wide epidemic? Did they find gold? Where did they settle? What did they do? What difficulty did they encounter politically, socially, and economically? These are questions that have filled my mind, and …
