May 31, 1938 (cont) [[underline]] Brumba Lake [[/underline]] some 5 miles further down the coulee. Has deep water at dam and lots of birds. It's full of water now. [[underline]] Snyder Lake [[/underline]] a beautiful marsh at upper end with fine open water at lower, needs 24-30 inches yet to fill. County has 160 acre recreational area about dam which will furnish fine nesting cover. Bath houses only improvements. Lake Aux Mortes (Lake Alice) has a little log cabin, garage, toilet and boat house. Very neat and in same place as [[?]]lake. 3500 acres marsh which will be filled by dike & ditch which prevents water from flowing away to the eastward. Has numerous islands & if ever filled to capacity it will be a dandy. Believe it & Long Lake are far ahead of Jim & Arrowwood Lakes as a refuge. From there into Devils Lake for dinner, a bird ge [[skinwick?]] & to bed. June 1 - 1938 Le Devils Lake about 9.00AM. and travel east to Grand Forks. Stopped enroute to look at Lords lake a small easement project which will find its chief value in furnishing permanent water amid all the surrounding county pot holes. Then to Ardoch Lake a 1200 acre project. [[underline]] Pintails, Shovellers & Scaup [[/underline]] seemed to be the most abundant. Saw what I was sure was one pair of [[underline]] Snow Geese [[/underline]] at a distance. Neat little cabins already completed & ready for use also a garage and boathouse
