Dredging Mouse River Pushed to Reclaim North Dakota Land
Bottineau county negotiates dredging of the Mouse River to deepen a channel and reclaim thousands of acres of bottom land. State engineer John Trimble estimates eight feet of fall locally, nine miles into Canada could yield sixteen feet, enabling a continuous channel. Farmers back the plan, share costs around six to seven dollars per acre, and edging could raise land value by about ten dollars per acre. Officials seek cooperation with McHenry county to coordinate efforts and hope dredging occurs next summer with Canadian government support.
