is IMPRACTICABLE TO TAKE THE
WATER FROM coEUR D'ALENE
LAKE.
May Build Huge Tunnel and Take
Water From Spokane River
for Project.

The interior department has reached
a decision which for the time being
threatens the success of the Big Bend
irrigation scheme, the most gigantic
project for the reclamation of arid
lands anywhere in the United States.
1t has been shown by investigation
that it is impractcable to take the
Occur d'Alene lake. In the first place,
since this lake is in Idaho, there might
be difficulty in conforming to state
laws if the water were to be used for
irrigation in the state of Washington.
Moreover, it has been found that the
proposed withdrawal of the lake and
the surrounding land necessary for the
reservoir site would include some set
Elements hitherto with vested rights
of citizens.
1t was said at the geological survey
office today that this decision was a
scheme, but that a way still might be
found for overcoming it.
1t was suggested that it might be
found feasible in every way to take
water from the Spokane river within
the boundaries of the state of Wash
ington. This river is an outlet of
Occur d'Alene lake. A part of the
plan would be to take the water
through a tunnel of steel or masonry,
the tunnel to be of gigantic proportions
something like the one through which
trains are being run from Jersey City
into New York under the East river.
Before adopting this plan it would
probably be necessary to find a means
or replacing the water thus used in
order that the riparian rights of mill
owners at points down the river might
not be violated.
The geological survey announces
that the field work of the survey in
the western states will be carried on
actively during the present season. In
Washington. work on the Pullman
quadrangle will be continued by L. c.
Fletcher. A. H. sylvester, Will complete
the typographical survey of the Mount
Adams quadrangle. Under the direc-
ton of r. H. Chapman vertical and
horizontal control will be carried for
ward over a portion of Whatcom coun-
ty, preparatory to the survey OF the
Bellingham quadrangle.
