that many corporations are supplant-

The study of the irrigation question
by the Office OF Experiment Stations
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture is now being pursued by
the collation. and publication of in
formation regarding the actual status
OF irrigation in the arid regions as re-
CARDS laws. institutions, etc. Since
few OF the important streams used for
irrigation lie wholly within the limits
OF any one state, and there is a great
diversity of irrigation laws in differ
ent states. interstate complications
over water rights have been frequent
and must become more and more
acute as the demand for water in
creases, unless some mode of settle
ment A devised. The department. in
quiries into these questions have been
inaugurated by study of the Bear
River Valley. The Bear river was
chosen for this purpose because in it's
course of a little over 300 miles it
crosses state lines (Wyoming, Idaho
and Utah) five times, finally emptying
into Salt lake. which is less than fifty
miles distant from its source, thus
presenting in small compass a great
variety Of interstate problems and
offering exceptional ~ portunities for
their study. Within 100 miles of its
course the Bear river manages to cross
the western and southern boundaries
OF Wyoming four times. In its entire
course these boundary crossings di-
vide the stream into six sections.
bitches heading in each OF these sec
lions are practically independent OF
irrigation laws or the superior claims
of appropriations of water below. So
far as practical results are concerned.
the state laws do not apply. It is
useless to determine priorities OF
bitches wholly within the state when
later ones with head gates across the
border in Utah can not be closed, be-
cause the water commissioners au-
thority does not extend that far. The
same state OF affairs exists along the
boundaries of other arid states.
