All along the 2,400-mile course of the stream from the Montana Rockies to St. Louis, the Big Mud- dy was carrying a heavy burden of water from the spring thaw. The surging water jumped the banks. It crumbled levees. It flood- ed more than 2,122,000 acres of land. More than 87,000 persons were displaced from their homes, 'Whopping' Loss The loss, in terms of money, added up to a whopping 179 mil- lion dollars. Can it happen again?$ "No" is the confident appraisal PROF. DONALD R. PEARCE ... scholar and critic from the University ofN Ontario. His advanced came from the University and 1948. Western degrees in 1941 He holds membership in Phi I f of the people who have had an active part in taming the Wild Missouri, Major destructive floods in the upper and middle reaches of the Missouri River are a thing of the past. This comes from Brig. Gen. W. E. Potter, Omaha, Missouri River division engineer for the U.S. Army Engineers. Ever since the 1952 record flood, Gen. Potter has been in charge of Missouri River flood control operations, He confined his appraisal to the upper and middle parts of the river because there are no major, flood control works on the un- predictable Kansas River, which went on a spree in 1951. Four Mainstem Reservoirs Gen. Potter points to four major mainstem reservoirs where there was only one in 1952. These dams, he explains, have a sufficient ca- pacity to reduce a flood--such as the one in 1952-to well within the banks of Omaha and St. Joseph, Mo. As shown on the accompanying map, the mainstream reservoirs now in existence are the Fort Peck in Montana, the Garrison in North Dakota and the Fort Randall and Gavins Point, both in South Da- kota. Fort Peck was the oply one in operation four years ago. Its total cost is estimated at 1561 million dollars, which is about 25 million dollars less than the total flood loss on the Missouri in 1952. The Engineers figure that the presence of Fort Peck Dam in 19521 was enough to enable Omaha to escape an additional 62 million dollars loss in the flood. The combined loss at Omaha and Council Bluffs, Ia., has been placed at 621 million dollars. The Oahe Dam A fifth ,major dam, the Oahe, north of Pierre, S. Dak., is expect- ed to be about 22 per cent complete by the end of 1956. Another, Big Bend, south of Pierre, has not been started. When the six main stem dams are in operation ,the Army Engi- neers figure they will have 72 million acre feet of storage-al- most three times the average an- nual flow of the river at Sioux City. In addition, 18 smaller dams have been completed since 1952 by the Engineers and the Bureau o'f Reclamation. Thirteen others are under construction and scores of others are on the future list. Hold Back Water As it stands this April, the Missouri Valley not only has three more dams to hold back the water, but because of drought all of them have greater storage capacity. And Mother .Nature, herself, ap- pears in a cooperative mood this year. The 1952 flood was the result of a heavy snowfall in the Upper Plains, the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. The snow had accumu- lated to a depth of 20 inches in some places during the winter. Underneath the snow pack was ice. So when the spring thaw came, the water had no way of penetrat- ing the ice sheet. There was only one place for the 'water to go- down the slopes, into the creeks and rivers and finally the Missouri. This spring the snowpack situa- tion is nore favorable, the Engi- neers say. They look for a normal runoff. Men Initiated To Quadrants At South Quad The Quadrants have searched South Quadrangle.
