THE SCOPE OF ARID LAND IRRIGATION

planned for redemption certain arid lands therein
The states in which this work will be done, and
the localities are: Salt River Arizona; GunnsOn Tunnel
Colorado; Truckee, Nevada; Milk River Montana, and
Sweet Water Dam Wyoming and the territory to be re-
deemed covers about acres while the cost of the
works is estimated about 100000
What may be grown on these lands remains to be
