SURVEY OF YELLOWSTONE
/. " IRRIGATION PROJECT
It's Now Up To the Land Owners To Form
III a Water Users Association and the
e Big Ditch Will Be Built.

where special structures and masonry
are required the canal has been map
ped on a fifty feet scale with two feet
contours.
At the headgate the canal will be
40 feet wide on the top, 16 feet wide
ON the bottom and II feet deep, and
will carry ESQ cubic feet of water per
second. It will decrease in size pro-
portionally to the amount of water
that will be taken from it. At the
headgate an overflow dam will be
built across the Yellowstone river
which will raise the water in the
river five feet at low water mark. At
the headworks borings have been
made, and along the entire line Of the
canal test pits and augur holes put
down to determine the character Of
the material to be moved. Little or
no rock was encountered, and the
character Of the ground was discov-
cred to be very favorable for the con-
struct1on Of the canal.
Surveys were. also made to deter
mine the drainage areas of all creeks
intersecting the line of. the canal to
determine the size of all crossings to
be made. In this work the surveyors
were also on the outlook for reservoir
sites but found the topography of the
country was not very favorable, few,
If any, being found on the lower part
water courses, and at the head of the
drainage area, not being of sufficient
extent to justify their construction.
In addition to the survey and map
ping of the canal, all the land lying
under the canal has been classified,
and all the irrigable land mapped on a
scale of 1000 feet to the inch with
| five feet contours.
It has been found by the engineer
that when the actual work of con-
struction Is begun that telephone
line to the lower valley will be abso-
lute1y necessary and the first work
undertaken by the government will
be the construction of a telephone
!, line from Glendive to Buford. This
work will be begun early in the spring
and hurried at once to completion. It
will prove a boon to the people of the
lower valley.
Another project that may be in.
augurated when the work of construc.
ton is begun on the canal is the
building Of an electric railroad from
Glendive to the lower valley. Such a
road, would, of course, have to be
built by private enterprise, but en-.
gineers who have been employed on
the survey of the canal, and many who
are old railroad engineers, say the
proposition is wholly feasible. That
the power house could be located upon
one OF the vast deposits of Ignite coal
which are encountered so frequently
between here and the lower valley
and that the road would quickly be
come a paying proposition. Transpor
tation is now one of the most serious
questions confronting the government
In the building of the canal, and If such
4 a road was built it would receive q
revenue from the start in transport
ing the material and supplies for the
canal, to the place where needed, and
also solve the problem of transporting
the products Of the lower valley to 8
market. z5a. If :s~.- 49, !. r. III.

me IOllOWlnS drClCl0 IrQm q recent
issue of the Dawson County Review
will be read with interest by North
Dakotans at this time as similar pro-
jects are contemplated in this state.
In compliance with the requirements
of the National Irrigation Act the
parties in interest-the land owners
along the Yellowstone river extend
ing down a short distance into North
Dakota have already incorporated
under the name of 'tThe Lower Vel
lowstone Water Users Association"
and inasmuch as similar association
must be formed before the Bismarck
project can be adopted, it will be we'll
for all parties affected or Interested to
post themselves as thoroughly as pos
sible regarding the requirements Of
the government. To that end the Tri-
bune will, in a few days, publish the
full text Of the Articles as adopted for
the contract Of the Yellowstone asso-
citation. :'.' ..
The following article is from the
Dawson County Review:
Frank Weymouth, engineer the past
two years in charge of the survey of
the Yellowstone canal, accompanied
by Mrs. Weymouth and corps OF as
sistants, came up from Newton last
Thursday and departed Saturday even
ing for Denver, Colorado, where the
reclamation service has established an
Office and where the plans and est
imates of the government irrigation
projects in North and South Dakotas,
Wyoming and eastern Montana will
be worked out:
To the Review Mr.. Weymouth
stated that the final plans and est
mates would probably be completed
by March, when the government would
ask for bids for the construction work.
But he emphatically stated that under
no conditions would bids be asked for
and the contracts for construction
work let until the Water Users Asso-
citation is perfected, and a contract
entered into between the officers of
the association and the secretary of
the interior, guaranteeing that those
holding irrigable land under the canal
will act as consumers of the water in
the canal. This, he stated, is impera-
tive, and must be done before work
of construction can be done. If not
done promptly the work will be retard.
ed as is the case at Belle Fourche,
South Dakota, where the government
j is at present waiting on the settlers to
perfect Water Users Association, a
considerable portion of the work now
being where actual work could be
begun, were the settlers only ready.
Since last April a corps of forty
men, including those engaged in the
field and Office, have been actively en-
gagged in the work, and so favorable
has the weather been that they. have
not lost single day, and the exhaus.
tive work necessary to the location Of
such mommoth enterprise has been
greatly accelerated. The center line
of the canal from the headgate to the
end, distance Of sixty-ive miles has
been located and mapped. Along the
canal line where the country is rough
and broken it has been mapped on q
scale Of 100 feet to the inch with
two feet contours. Where the country
fs smooth and unbroken the scale has
been 400 feet to the inch and five feet
contours. At all creek, crossings
