Domestic Manufacturer

The exports OF domestic manufactures
from the United States have grown from
S4O.345, S92 in 1860 to S4O3, ,G41. .4O1 in
1902. Nearly all of this growth was
under Republican administra tions. Since
1899 the expectation of manufactures
has averaged over 100000, 900 per an
mum. being more than twice as much as
in any year prior to 1896. four times
as much as in any year prior to 1877.

IRRIGATION NOTES.
What the General Reclamation Service
Is Doing In the West.

What the General Reclamation Service
Is Doing In the West.
Engineer G. H. Fitch has been d.
rected by the chief engineer Of the
reclamation service to take charge of
the work of that bureau in South Da-
kota and adjacent areas. The most
important piece of work under Mr..
Fitch's charge this season will be the
completion of the surveys and the be-
ginning of construction, if found fea-
sible, on the Bellefouche project.
Mr.. Raymond F. Walter will be con-
tinued in charge of the investigation
and surveys on this project, occupying
a position analogous, to that of con-
structing engineer. Mr.. Fitch will
have general supervision also of sur
veys and reconnaissance on the Big
Horn project on Grow Indian reserva-
ton, on the Fort Buford project in
North Dakota, preliminary surveys on
the Bitterroot project, the Lake
Basin project, the Sun river project in
Montana, and the surveys of New
Fork and Green river project in
Wyoming.
A competent engineer will be sent
soon into western Montana to make q
general examination of the opportuni-
ties of reclamation, particularly of the
character of land ownership, and as
certain the views of the persons own
ing reclamable lands regarding the
construction of an irrigation work
thereon by the government.
With the passage Of the Grow Indian
bill the reclamation service will start
a field party at work making a thor
ough Investigation of the possibility
and feasibility OF a comprehensive H.
rigation system for the lands thrown
open for settlement ON this reserva-
ton.
Citizens in the Lower Yellowstone
valley are showing commendable inter-
est in the plans of the government for
the construction of what is known as
the Fort Buford irrigation project.
Numerous letters have been received
from organizations and citizens in the
valley urging upon the government the
continuance of its work in that sec
ton, and indicating that the land own
ers are generally approving the pro.
ject and will cooperate with the gov
eminent in every way to insure its
success.
Congressman Dixon has presented
numerous petitions and in person
has urged the continuance of the work.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com.
pany, which owns some land in this
valley, has agreed to cooperate with
the government to the fullest extent,
and will dispose Of such tracts as are
under the proposed canal, under regu,
lations of the reclamation act, to
bona fide settlers only.
