IN A BAD FIX.

Sweetwater and Uinta counties are
in a bad fix. The Rock Springs indie
pendent asserts that the great and on
ly General o. A. Hamilton, a most
wise and able member of the state
board Of control, has. without doubt,
used considerable perspicuity and won
derful ability in appointing his water
commissioners In both Sweetwatel
and Uinta counties and upon making
inquiries we find that every one OF his
appointees control, politically ti.eil
respective precincts"
"In other words, their precincts will
support Hamilton's man in the state
convention. and Hamilton will have a
strong following at the county conven-
oming Veterans League, and may,
through his positions. become a factor
In state pontics."
Egad! Are We outdone by this
clever Napolean of the west? While
the machine vas being oiled has he
actually slipped the votes OF Sweetwa.
ter and Uinta counties into his vest
pocket and claimed them a his own,
and will the state convention, power,
less and abject. fall down and worship
this great and only?

THE SHOSHoNB PROJECT.

A Washington special to the Chi
ccoun of the Shoshone irrigation pro
ject. which is to be consummated TN.
der the new reclamation law.
The Shoshone project has great pos
sibilities, and when completely worked
out will probably, irrigate fully 500.
600 acres of waste lands, parched but
holding in their dry embrace enduring
fertility. Rising near the boundary
of the Yellowstone National park, in
northwestern Wyoming. the Shoshone
river, flowing eastward. PUSHES into a
canyon cut down through solid granite.
The flow of the Shoshone. named by
the Indians Shrinking Water" because
lowstone springs, is highly valuable
in time of flood 5000 to 10000 cubic
feet per second, and again as low as
$50 feet. The possibilities Of this pro
ject therefore lie in the storage of the
floods. Joining the walls Of this gran
tie canon the government will build
a cement and stone dam, rising 40
feet above the river level and forming
a great lake covering $500 acres, with
a storage capacity Of 1000, 000, 900 GU
bis feet. The canon at the dam site
is but seventy-five feet wide at the
river level, and at the curb Of the pro-
posed dam 14O feet wide. The stored
snow water will be led from the res
ervoir onto the agricultural lands
through a system Of tunnels and canals
about four miles in length.
This project Is believed to stand
alone among those investigated thus
far by the government under the ma
tional irrigation act. In every other
case more or less of the lands to be
irrigated are found to be taken up I'M
der some of our various loose and spec
ulative land laws, and often with the
evident idea on the part Of the entry
man that just some such improvement
is to be undertaken by the government.
The effect is that when the govern
men, puts the water upon the land.
greatly increasing its value, the specu-
lator who has obtained title is in a
position to take a large profit from
the real settler, who should have had
the first show. In many instances. OF
course, bona fide settlers are found
struggling along with an insufficient
water supply derived from ample IT.
rigation projects where the water is
diverted directly from the river, and
in such cases, where the government
stores the flood water Of these rivers
and thus increases the reclaimed area,
these settlers should really be the first
beneficiaries.
The operation Of these speculative
laws amounts, in fact, to a distinct
menace to the irrigation policy. Take
the Shoshone project for an instance.
If the cost of the reclamation of this
land is $40 an acre, the settler going
upon his government claim Of 100
acres should have $4,000 to pay back
to the government in ten annual in
stallments OF 1920 each. Since the
land is extremely productive and will
raise enormous crops the first year
that the water is put upon 1t. 1t is be-
lieved that he Would experience little
