divided on the same matter, The con-
gress also called attention to the i'm
portance of forests and the construc-
ton of large federal works for the pur-
pose of enlarging the irrigation area
Mr.. Newell did not care to commit
himself relative to the kansas-Colora-
do water suit. which is now In the SUI
preme Court of the United States. He
said he hoped that the case would be
decided upon its merits rather than on
some technicallty.
"a work of Interest to Colorado,
continued MIR. Newell. "is that which is
being carried on on the North Platte
river. The government Is to attempt
the storage OF water at the headwaters
of the North Platte around Sweet Wa
ter river, one OF its largest tributaries.
The water is to be diverted at Casper,
Douglass, Goshen Hole and western
Nebraska. This work Is In charge OF
John +. Field, former state engineer
of Colorado. When completed, the
work that is now being carried on will
bring hundreds of thousands OF acres
of arid lards under irrigation In Wy
oming and Nebraska.
There is one fault in the state con
troll of irrigation, and that is politics
No sooner do your engineers get con
versant with the situation than an
other administration comes along and
new man is put in office. James j
Armstrong of this state is one OF the
most competent men that the state has
! ever had In charge Of its irrigation"
