The Ef9 p4k Asking For storage
- RsssrairG
That the people Of the eastern
States are taking an interest in the
national irrigation movement Is EVIL
dent from the following correspond
ence from South Port Conn. which
appeared recently in the New York
Tribune: grsv3 q. H \
The damage inflicted by the Miss
issippi foods this spring, as well as
damage in Kansas and Missouri and
the minor floods elsewhere serve to
direct our attention to q matter that
should, II possible, be remedied, even
If it costs some time and money to
do it. We are spending large sums an
nually under the River ana Harbor
bill and in other ways on the western
rivers, practically all Of it only being
temporary in results. Now, il we can
adopt q comprehensive scheme where
by the whole territory shall forever
be relieved Of floods, 1t would be
worth many millions. To that end
allow me to suggest consideration If
the idea of constructing a series of
large storage reservoirs at different
points ON the Mississippi and all #
its important afuents to impound
the excess Of water fall, which may
be used for several purposes, to-wit:
First. For irrigating public and pri-
vate lands in the more arid sections,
such as the States Of Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Colorado. ETC., such use of the
water to produce a revenue.
( Second. In some instances the wa
ter as power could be used to create
electric energy, to be used in lighting
towns, heating buildings, running ca:
lines, etc.
Third. After the water had been
thus used it could be allowed to dow
down to lower portions of the rivers
to improve navigation. when the riv-
ers are low. Possibly some of this
water could be sold to some towns
for water supply, so that in the
roundup the government would de-
rive a large revenue from these sour
ces. This work is large and would
cover term of years to complete,
but would put the immense valley OF
the Mississippi in the most substan-
tial position agriculturally in the
world.
