Armogur Herald: A detail of about 20 men was detached from the VCC camp at Lake Andes and began work Monday morning on a new project at the north end of the lake. This new job is to be a grade or dyke across the lake on the section line which runs thru
The dyke will have a water gate in the center of the lake to insure a water level at all times and to allow flood waters from Andes creek to reach the main body of water. It is expected that the Spotis or north artesian will furnish sufficient water in this part of the lake to care for a great many fish and will act as a guard against the lake ever drying completely up as it has several times in the past. Many are of the opinion that, with the exception of the few fish around the well, fish life in the lake is now extinct.
This project is in line with Roosevelts
