Bill Passed by the United States Sem
ate Means Much to the
Twin Cities.
In Montana and the Two Dakotas
Are 1O8,O0O,OOO Acres Which
May Be Affected.

!. Millions of acres Of government domain
would be added to the agricultural lands
of the northwest by irrigation carried on
or supported by the federal government.
This fact has been partly realized during
the agitation in favor of irrigation legis-
ton which has been in progress for the.
past six months. The passage Of the Hans
brough irrigation bill by the senate on
Saturday has increased interest in the
subject and more especially in what it
means to the northwest and to the twin
cities. a. a
In Montana and the two Dakotas there
is an area of vacant government land,
not counting the Indian reservations,
which will ultimately be thrown open to
settlement, approximating 10S,00O,O00
acres. 70 Part of this is mountainous and
part of it will require no irrigation to
make1the raising Of agricultural products
remuneratiye. 1t is believed from past
4 experience that as cultivation Of the soil
in most sections east of the Missouri in
the Dakotas increases in area, the rain
fall will be more generous. At any rate,
4 irrigation for the lands east of the big
Muddy" in South Dakota and in many
counties in North Dakota is not counted
on as a necessity to make a success OF
diversified farming. But there is an i'm
mense empire extending from western
North and South Dakota far into Mon

claim and add to the productive agricul-.
tural section of the nations big farm. =
~ Where the Lands Are.
In it's five land districts North Dakota
has approximately 100000 acres of va
cant government land. OF this II 900, 900
acres are in the Bismarck land district,
composed principally, of counties in that
section of the state west of the Missouri
river. In, the .Minot land district, which
takes in the northwestern section to the
Montana line, there are 100000 acres
North Dakota contains Indian reserva-
tons with total Of 100000 acres, most
of which are in the western section
South Dakota has about IL, OOO, 900 acres
of government land vacant and as much
more in the big Indian reservations west
of the Missouri. OF the government land
now vacant over 100000 acres are in the

some of the Indian reservations of both
Dakotas thrown open to settlement. If

rigation.
Montana rounds out a grand total of
100000 acres of vacant government
land and an additional 11,50O, 900 acres in
Indian reservation. OF this 81, 900, 900 acres
are in the Miles City and Lewiston land
districts in the eastern sections of the
state, a continuation of the empire in
western North Dakota. Millions of acres
are included in the mountainous sections
and some in the various valleys farther
| west in which irrigation is not required
Irrigation Is Needed.
/ 1t is estimated that in western North
and South Dakota and eastern Montana
there are 6O,O00,000 acres of land which
if ever made remuneratiye for agricultu-
raj purposes must be improved to that
standard through An artificial water sup.
! uly. AT present they are regarded as fine

/ owned by the cattle kings Of that region
have unlimited range. Here and there
are productive sections situated in the
valleys of small rivers which the settlers

lists as grazing lands" only. This COM
prises an area as large as the state OF
New York and Pennsylvania combined.
Minneapolis business men who have given
the subject Of irrigation close attention
look to this vast empire yet to be re-
claimed as the force which insures the
supremacy of the twin cities as one of
the greatest market and money centers
of the country for a long time to come.
The Hansbrough bill provides that all
money derived from the sales of public
lands shall be devoted to irrigation. There
is an element among the friends of irri-
cation represented by the National Irri-
cation association, which insists that all
government lands not now sold shall be
disposed of to actual settlers only; that
the federal government cease it's grants
to the states and refuse to sell to specu-
lators. 1t is believed that this is one
gauntlet which the Hansbrough measure
must run In the house. The minimum
price On the agricultural lands Of the gov
eminent is $1.25 per acre. The government
has millions of acres in alternate sections
which are held at $3.50 per acre, the
double minimum price. The desert land
law provides that on making the required
improvements the settler can OBTAIN title
by payment of rs cents per acre for the
800 acres allotted to him. Irrigating the
land is one of the improvements required
