THE BEAR RIVER VALLEY.
Dy Mosluh Evans Manager of the Bear River Water Coz

row canyon at the upper end Of the
valley, where Bear River leaves Cache
valley (not as many persons suppose In
the Bear Lake country) here the river
cuts through the mountain range into
the Great San Lake basin. AT this
point In the river was constructed a
dam on the solid bedrock, using one
million feet Of timber and between thir-
~ and forty tons Of bolts: this whole
construction was backed and solidifed
by masonry, The progress Of the rapid
torrent was then eHeotually checked,
and the great work OF carrying the de-
sired volume Of water along the steep
and rocky gorge for three miles was
successfully accomplished. At the
point where the main water way emerg-
es from the canyon, and at other points
along the route, were built large di-
vision gates for the purpose Of distrib-
utlng the water into division canals,
and laterals.
So perfect Is the canal in all its fea-
lures IN permanency OF construction
carrying capacity perfect gradient and
absolute water supply that IL Is ac-
knowledged TO be one Of the most COM
plete systems In the United States, and
It was awarded the only prize against
all its competitors at the Worlds Fair,
at Chicago IN 1898. The great water
shed that supplies the water for the
Bear River, supplies to II as much wa
ter In July August, and September as
other streams IN Utah are supplied with
at flood time which Is usually in May
and June, giving assurance 10 the far
mers under the system, Of the matur-
ing Of their crops
All this vast system was constructed
at the enormous expense OF two mill
Hon five hundred thousand dollars. This
gigantic enterprise. with many thous-
and acres Of land Ia now owned and
controlled by the Utah Sugar company,
OF Lehl. the worth Of canal and lands
combined would not be less than three
million dollars.
All practical farmers who understand
irrigation, realize that one OF the most
important factors TO the success Of ir-
rlgatlon Is natural drainage. This val
ley surpasses all the valleys of Utah In
this one particular. There are three
natural sources Of drainage OF between
3 and 4 miles each running due north
and south through the valley, viz: The
Bear River Malad River. and Salt
Creek These rivers, being below the
surface land Of the valley from twenty
to sixty feet, give ample drainage for
all irrigahe land.
Under this canal system during the
| year 1901 there was actually irrigated
eighteen thousand acres Of land, and IN
| lsV2 there VIII be not less than twenty
| hVe thousand acres, showing an in
crease Tor 1902 over 1901 Of 40 per cent
which Is evidence Of the success and
confidence Of the farmers and people re-

This body Of fertile land in Boxelder
County, Utah, seyenty-nve thousand
acres in extent, and capable OF sus-
tanning population of tillers Of the soil
OF ilfty thousand people, Is traversed by
two rans-continental railroads, and Is
susceptible Of irrigation from the great
Bear River canal, Lying at an ele-
walton Of 100 to 400 feet above the lev
el OF Salt Lake, and wholly without
mountain streams so common 10 other
portions OF Utah, the reclamation OF
this vast tract Of land, involved the
seemingly impossible task OF raising
the water Of Bear River from It's chan
mel, which Is $50 to 200 feet below the
level of the northern limits Of the val
ley. Other streams of Utah have been
more easily turned out upon the land.
but here was a mighty river with wa
ter sufficient to irrigate thousands Of
acres Of land flowing uselessly to the
tEehl Dali Lake,
During all the years while other parts
Of Utah were being settled and irrl-
gatl0n bitches were being built, many
plans were made for the reclamation OF
the Bear River Valley, by means Of a
canal carrying the waters Of the river
around the upper edge OF the valley.
Tc accomplish this, the water had 70 be
turned from the river far up the can
yon and carried through the rocky
gorge for three miles, before reaching
point where the main canal should
begin. To construct such works rcqulr-
ed immense sums Of money, and to
obtain private capital seemed out of
the question; efforts were made to OBJ
tain congressional aid, but without
