Government Irrigation Project Soon be Under Way in Utah

-Four years after the enactment of
the national irrigation law Utah is
given a promise to share in the ben
efits OF the law although the benefits
are still three years in the future. It
cannot be denied that this hardness
is a source Of disappointment to the
residents OF the state. They have
known for long time that actual
work was being done in Colorado, Ari-
IONA, Nevada. Idaho and Wyoming
every state and territory that touches
Utah, to say nothing Of states like
California, Oregon and Montana. 1t is
difficult to understand why Utah, the
pioneer In irrigation in the entire ma
ton. should be the last to be consid-
cred by the general government.
AT the same time now that the way
has been cleared for actual work there
Will be rejoicing all over the state.
This rejoicing will be coupled with the
hope that federal help will not stop
with the Strawberry Valley project.
but that the Utah Lake project, the
Bear Lake project and the Weber
River project will be taken up at once
so that the aid OF the government will
be general; that it will be extended
where 1t Will benefit a large number
of inhabitants and make homes pos
sible for many thousands more.
Good News From the East.
Dispatches from Washington, D. c.,
under date OF Dec. 49, 1905, announced
that Secretary E. A. Hitchcock had
approved the Strawberry Valley pro-
5ect. This was done only after the
matter had been considered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his cabinet. Sec
rotary Hitchcock was opposed to the
project. He was overruled in the
matter After a decision was reached
81 ,250000 was set apart from the recla-
nation fund to pay for the work of
carrying the Strawberry through the
Wasatch mountains into Utah county.
It was given out in Washington that
the actual work of construction on the
scheme will be started in the spring
and that it will consume three years
Nothing could be simpler than the
strawberry valley project. The stream
is one OF the feeders of the Colorado
river. 1t drains some OF the highest
mountains in the Uintah range in
eastern Utah. After leaving the
mountains the stream passes through
an extensive fiat valley. Finally it
forces it's way through narrow can
yon between nigh hills. At this point
II Is designed to build dam for the
purpose of impounding the water The
valley makes a natural reservoir for
this purpose. This impounded water
is then to be carried through the
Wasatch mountains by means OF a
tunnel. This tunnel will be sandstone
all the way, distance of 10000 feet.
Through the Everlasting Hills.
By means of this tunnel under the
Wasatch mountains the water is to be
conveyed from the Strawberry on
the east side OF the range and emptied
into Diamond creek on the west side
Diamond creek is a feeder for Spanish
Fork. After the Strawberry water
reaches this point 1t will be diverted
by means Of canals to irrigate lands
now arid or semi-arid in the southern
part OF Utah county.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-12-31

Some of the land is now partially ir-
rigated by the Spanish Fork, Pason,
Santaquin and Hobble creeks. With
the aid Of the Strawberry it is esti-
mated that $4,000 acres of highly pro-
ductive land will be fully irrigated.
Influential in bringing about the
favorable action of the general gov
eminent in this particular project was
the Strawberry Valley Water Users
association of Utah county. Henry
Gardner, Of Spanish Fork, is at the
head of the organization. Others
who have played prominent parts are
Joseph E. Greer of Lake Shore. Heber
c. Jex, Fred Matley and Lars Nelson
of Spanish Fork, William T. Tew Of
Mapleton. Hyrum Lennon, j. S. Nc
Meth and J. S. Page.
Farmers Get Together.
Ii became necessary for the men
holding primary rights to the water in
the tract to be irrigated as we'll as
those holding canal stock and others
holding rights TO the flood waters of
the streams to pool their issues and
get into q position here they could
treat with the government as one man.
They were also obliged to take the
water from the Strawberry at so much
per acre, approximately $40 an acre.
This was to guarantee the return to
the government of the S1,250,000 ex-
pended on the project. All this was
accomplished and 1,152 of these
farmers in Utah county entered into a
contract to do all that was required

experts in recent years on the Utah
lake project. the Bear lake project and
the Weber river project. 1t was the
hope and expectation that these pro-
jects could be carried along parallel
lines, and that in this way a large
majority Of the population of the
state could be made the benefciaries
of government aid in the working
out of projects that are too large for
private enterprise.
Hopes for Utah Lake Project.
It was conceded that the Utah lake
project would benefit a greater num-
Der than any OF T project in the west
for a like expenditure Of money. Con-
verting the lake into a great reservoir
for the impoundin of the food water
of the streams flowing into It was pro-
nounced feasible by the government
experts. 1t was demonstrated thai
this additional water would irrigatG
a magnificent tract of land under the
lake. The possibilities appealed to all
who considered the scheme, and natur-
ally the residents of this part of the
state were enthusiastic for it. The
work Of combining the farmers and
others who held primary rights into an
association to deal with the govern
ment was we'll along when the word
came down the line that the whole
project had been abandoned for the
time being.
The excuse given for this change Of
front was that there had been such
heavy drafts upon the government
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-12-31

reclamation fund by other states and
territories that no large projects could
be taken up in Utah until the reclama-
ton fund was restored by the sale of
land.
Thus the matter stands. It is clear
that nothing will be done with the
larger irrigation projects in Utah for
few years to come. F. H. Newell.
chief photographer of the United
States geological survey and perhaps
the best posted and most influential
man in the government service, asserts
that the Utah lake project viii be
pushed TO completion within a few
years; that it is feasible in every way
from an engineering point of view and
that the interests of too many persons
are at stake TO permit the scheme to
lapse. A little patience and judicious
work on the part of the Utah delega-
ton to congress viii be required.
Private Work Goes on MerriIy.
More than the usual amount of irri-
cation work by private persons and
local corporations was done during the
year. Water was filed upon in every
stream, spring and lake in the state
where it was thought water could
be secured. either for power or irriga-
ting purposes. In the Uintah reserva-
ton land thrown open to settlement
the contest for water rights was ex-
ceptionally spirited. On the whole
much was accomplished in different
parts of the state to bring about the
utilization of water now going TO
waste.
The record of filings on water in the
Office of the state engineer will ex-
! coed that of any other year in the
history of the state. This in itself
indicates increased enterprise on the
part of the residents of the state. OF
course part of this, and a good part of
it, is due to the unusual activity in
mining, the opening Of new properties
in different parts Of the state.

All the preliminary work on the
Strawberry valley project has been
under the supervision of George L.
Swendsen, who is in local charge of
the United States geological survey
work in Utah. This preliminary work
1t is announced is completed and the
local Office is prepared to go ahead
with the actual construction work
without further delay. Cold weather
and snow in the mountains may re-

be three years before the Strawberry

Utah county.

Placing the maximum number of
acres to be irrigated as the result of
this project at so, 900 and placing the
maximum value of the land after it is
irrigated at 500, or So 000, 900 for the
whole tract. it will still be seen that
Utah is greatly the gamer through
this assistance of the general govern
ment. So much of the land will be
worth far more than 500 per acre.

DEATH OF DR. REANEY
4 Young Detroit Physician We'll
 Known in Phoenix.

The following account is published in a recent Detroit paper. of the death of a we'll known young man who spent a couple of winters in Phoenix and who had many friends here.
 Dr. P. H. Reaney a popular young physician, died this morning of pleuro- pneumonia at the family residence, 41 Burlingame avenue.
 pr. Reaney, the son of Capt Henry Reaney, of the government lighthouse service, and brother of Rev. Fr. Will jam Henry Reaney, chaplain of the United States navy was born in De- troit and educated in the Detroit col lege later graduating from St. Marys college, Kansas where he received the degrees of A. B. and M. A
 After graduating in medicine at the Michigan College of Medicine and Sur gery, he became house surgeon of St. Mary's hospital and afterwards went east and entered the general hospital of Boston. Mass, later going to Brock ton. owing to failing health he had spent the last two winters in the west mostly in Arizona.
 Believing that fresh air was the only possible cure, the young physician took care to be out of doors as much as he could during the last few years of his life. He pitched a tent on the lawn at his home. on Burlingame ave nue. and slept in it every night. He was a member of several organizations including the naval reserves.
 The deceased is survived by his pa rents. the one brother and four sisters. Mrs. Byron Webster and the Misses Josephine, Anne and Mary Reaney

The IndlscretIons of a Duchess.

Whether the world owes the ac-
 counts of them to some imaginative
 correspondent or whether they have
 merely been truthfully reported as they
 manifested themselves. certain it is
 that the vagaries of the youthful
 fiancee of the German crown prince
 have introduced an element of romance
 into what promised to be a very pro-
 saic royal wooing. Long ago all glamor
 was stripped from thrones. If modern
 rulers are not bored to death it Is be-
 cause the invention of the bomb has introduced an element of excitement into what would otherwise be a monot- onous existence. The Duchess Cecile's determination. therefore. to have her own way while she has the opportunity is an excellent indication that she in- tends to get out of life all there is in it for a royal parsonage,
 Instead of going in for violent speed ing of motor cars. like the king of Spain or for chicken raising like Will helmina of Holland she is developing a fondness for tilting lances with his most potent majesty. the German em- peror. So far the honors seem to be pretty evenly divided and it is just possible that when his son and the duchess are married. William the Only will find his hands so full keeping the strong wilied crown princess in the background that he will have no time for those sensational undipiomatic moves that today keep the European powers on the qui vive- The future German empress may succeed in sup pressing the present German emperor
 In the meanwhile she seems to be having a very good time with her not too conventional mother to back her up The emperor has already had oc- casion to deny twice that relations be- tween him and his daughters law elect are strained; so. accepting the supposition that there Is no smoke without fire, there is everay reason to believe that the former has suffered some bad quarters of an hour and the latter has enjoyed some exciting ones. All of the gossip may be. as We have already remarked. the vain imagining of some we'll equipped correspondent. for in spite of the telegraph and the swift moving liners. Germany IS still far away; but it is much pleasanter to believe that the youthful du chess has as strong a will as the reports in dicate and that she is both able and willing to assert it.
