WOULD RECLAIM
UlNTAH LANDS
Salt Lake Men Promote Irrigation
Project For Large Tract.
APPLY FOR WATER RIGHTS
TWENTY MILES OF DITCH TO BE
DUG.

s IRRIGATION OF lands in the Du-
chesne valley for settlers on the
Uintah reservation is the object be-
hind an application for water right
filed in the state engineers office yes
terday by George NJ. McConaughey and
Francis Hardie of Salt Lake. They ask
1850 second feet from the upper Du-
chesne. Their project, backed by Salt
Lake and eastern capital, viii cost
about Sz50.O00.
Several of Salt Lakes weaIthiest men
and a number of eastern investors, who
have already placed money in this sec
ton, are backing the plan. According
TO its promoters, work will begin just
as soon as the water right is granted.
1t will proceed along the lines of the
recent reclamation work at Twin Falls,
Ida, in many particulars. Settlers will
be asked to buy water, and in pay
ment they can among other things
work on the canals The promoters
are also counting on the settlers TO do
much of their work for wages, a fact
which they claim will aid many farmers
who would otherwise be destitute
The canal and laterals in this pro-
ject will be about thirty miles in length.
They will cover 1000 acres of fat land
in the Duchesne bottoms and this land
lies in three townships, including some
of the best farming country in the res
eryation.
The amount Of water asked for in this
application is greater than is the case
with any others yet in, and the promo
tiers say that the plan cOntemplates
reclamation on a grand scale. Plans
have been carefully made and men have
gone over the ground, so that if the
grant is obtained the money which is
behind the project can be put to imme-
date use
