Preliminary Irrigation

week is reported as having been
Ia most interesting gathering.
There was an extended informal
discussion dealing especially with
the irrigation laws of the various
states and of the means that
should he taken to secure unifor-
nifty. 1t was decided to form an
association and A. F. Doremus,
OF Utah, was chosen president
and c. T. johnson, of Wyoming,
secretary. The next meeting will
be held at Boise City, Ida, Sept.
is.
The purpose Of the association
az stated BY the secretary, is to
gain q more satisfactory under
standing Of the irrigation laws
Of the intermountain states, to
reconcile differences and thus
work in harmony, to become bat
ter acquainted with the condi-
tions governing the special fields
OF activity, to facilitate united
action on the part of the people
with regard to pushing irrigation
improvements and projects, to
consider the problem of inter-
state water rights and to con-
slider other matters relating to
irrigation.
North Dakota was represented
at this meeting by Prof. E. F.
Chandler, who was temporarily
appointed by Governor White as
state engineer, and who will
probably continue the work dur
ing this season in order that the
department may be properly
started and all of the informa-
ton possible laid before the next
legislature.
In consequence of the law not
providing for a state engineer
and there being no funds for this
purpose a number OF gentlemen
have signed an agreement, at
the request Of the state irrigation
association, to advance the funds
to carry on the preliminary work
in the state during this season,
and the state association intends
to ask the Legislature to reim-
burse these gentlemen for the
money expended. The guaran
tors are as follows: A. Hilliard,
Of the First National bank OF
Dickinson, L. B. Hanna, First
National Bank Of Fargo, Col. c.
B. Little OF the First National
Bank OF Bismarck, Hon. e. Y.
Sarles, Of the First National
Bank OF Hillsboro, Joseph Roach
Of the Second National Bank OF
Minot and II. r. Lyon, Of the
First National Bank of Mandan.
Commenting on the meeting in
Salt Lake City, The Tribune, Of
that city editorially says:
'sThe meeting now in progress
in this city, embracing the state
engineers of several Of the ad-
joining states, with some Of the
engineers in the United States
reclamation service, is a good
sign Of the interest now felt all
through this region in irrigation
and also Of the hopeful feeling
that something important is to
be achieved in the work of re-
clamation of the arid lands, in
extending the use of water on
land already partially served,
and Of the more thorough utiliza-
tion Of the water available for
irrigation.
The plans that are presented
in the different states for the at
tention Of the government Off
cials who have in charge the ad-
ministration OF the national ir-
rigation law, are many and ex-
cellent. In some cases they in
fclude the handling Of water that
| flows from one state into an
other, and it is important in the
Interest OF good feeling that no
serious conflicts shall arise.
