the appropriation, use and distri-
button Of waters in all streams be-
long to the states The purpose
of the, national irrigation law is to
enable the federal government to
work in conjunction with the state
authorities in conserving those
food waters Of those streams for
distribution and use on the public
domain. Under regulations to be
agreed upon between the secretary
Of the interior and the states inter
,ested in any improvement, reser-
voirs can be constructed and the
waste waters conserved. The fed
-eral government must restrict itself
to the use Of food waters except
in case where the state authorities
are willing to go further and use
the normal flow of the stream.
Naturally where the federal gov
ernment and the state are SO close
" interested, there will be con-
fict occasionally that must be set
tied in the courts. There are some
decisions already made by the fed
eral courts which have "a bearing
on points that are likely to arise.
The biggest irrigation PROPOSE
tion which the government has
under consideration is the Milk
River scheme in Montana. 1t is
proposed to construct a dam and
reservoir at the source Of the Milk
River, storing the food waters OF
the lakes from which that stream
is supplied. The plan is to trans
fer these waters by tunnel and
canal direct to the district to be
irrigated. Tt is estimated that the
cost will be $l,OOO,0O0 and about
100000 acres will be reclaimed.
The Milk River flows north into
Canada and recrosses into the
United States. The stream furn-
.ishes water for the irrigation of q
small district in Canada, and it is
probable that an understanding
will be necessary with the Cana
dian government before the work
is begun. The government is also
investigating a plan for the irrigga-
ton of 10000 acres in the district
between Livingston and Billings
in the same state. This includes
the erection Of a dam in Yellow
stone Park. There are two enter
prises Of a small nature in Oregon
and one each in Nevada and Cali
fornia. North Dakota has sever
al small projects which will be ex-
amined by the government this
fall. One Of these is along the
Yellowstone in the northwestern
part Of the state and others along
small streams in Stark and Billings
county. These include, all told,
about 100000 acres. There is an
opportunity to reclaim some small
districts in southwestern South
Dakota.
