Is i'll all, of these meetings. The first
will be held at Athens next Friday ana
will comprise the miners of the Hook
ing valley. including Athens and Hook
ing and part of Perry counties. Ihe
wages paid in the Hooking Valley have
for years been the basis for all state
agreements and for this reason the
scale for these mines will be adjusted
first. The operators of the Hooking
Valley will meet at Athens next Mon
day and u joint conference will be
held.
As there are great quantities of coal
stored and there is no pressing neceS-
sity for the operation of many of the
mines. there will be no rush in making
the sub-districts settlements. All con-
tracts must be submitted to the state
executive board Of the Mine Workers
for approval before being signed and it
may be so days before contracts are
ready in all of the sub-districts. There
is complete suspension of work in the
mines of the state.

water surface, and twenty feet wide
Black Hills meridian, for a govern
ment town to be built in the heart
of this irrigated region. 1t will be
located midway between the north
and south side canals and about
twelve miles east of the reservoir.
The advantage to be gained from hav-
ing this important town in the hands
of the government is that it will do
away with the possibility of specula-
ton by firms or moneyed individuals.
All money received from the sale of
town lots will go directly toward i'm
provements for the city, and it will
start out in life without one cent of
indebtedness. There are a number of
government towns in Oklahoma,
among which are Lawton, Hobart and
Enid, all of which are exceptionally
we'll improved. Lots for this new
town will not be put on sale for an
other year at least, and the name for
the town has not been chosen. Land
has also been set aside for two gov
eminent villages, one to be located in
the northwest corner of this district
and the other in the southeast.
AS the diversion dam and the inlet
canals are practically completed, the
first water to be used in this scheme
will be the water from the Johnson
lateral leading north from the inlet
canal, where the water will be turned
on some time next spring.

AS the work of the government ir-
rigation scheme north of Belle
Fourche progresses, people begin to
realize the great difference that it
will make not only in the character
of the country, but also in the charac-
ter of settlers who will be attracted
by these lands. Irrigation makes
over both a country and a people.
This Belle Fourche irrigation prof
ect, as it is known. will reclaim 10000
acres of practically arid land lying
north of the Black Hills, and the sum
of 81, 100000 has been appropriated by
congress for the work. Contrary TO
the general belief, the United States
does not put up the money for these
irrigation projects, thirteen of which
now are under way. but the money
comes from a fund which each state
has to it's credit in Washington, and
which is derived from the sale of pub

One Project Completed.

So far, out of the thirteen large
projects which have started, the gov
eminent has completed one, the
Truckee- Carson in Nevada, where the
water was turned on in June, 1905.
The reclamation act was passed on
June IL, 1902, and work on this scheme
was begun the next day, preliminary
plans and surveys having been made
previously. This project, which was
built at cost of about S., OOO, 900, will
irrigate about 10000 acres of land,
and so far bids fair to be a great sue
cess. The problem, however, which
the government will have to meet. as
it has faced all irrigation schemes
both in this country and abroad, is
that Of sediment. 1t is generally
stated that the success of an irriga-
ton scheme is in inverse proportion
to the amount of sediment carried by

bottom, sixty-three feet wide at the
at the top. The entire embankment
will be faced with concrete blocks
weighing 5000 pounds each, and the
outer surface will be arranged in ter
races and seeded down to grass. The
greatest depth of the water will be
100 feet, and the average depth from
twenty-five to thirty feet. The water
surface will cover thirteen square
miles and the shore line will be about
fifty miles in length. The reservoir
will contain sufficient water to irrigate
about 10000 acres of land The con-
tract for this work has been let to the
firm of Orman G. Crook of Colorado,
and work was begun April 1 this year.
The intention is to have it completed
by Oct. l., 1909.
On June 10 of this year an order
was signed by the president setting
aside the northeast quarter of section
"a, township north, range east,

lie lands. The work, however, is I'M
der the direct supervision of the gov
eminent, but will become eventually
the property of the Water Users asso-
citation, which will be composed of all
the people holding land under the
project. These irrigation projects, in
fact, and eventually will cost nothing
either to the government or to the
state; not to the government, because
they are built with state money, and
not to the state, because the yearly
assessments paid for ten years by the
people owning land under the project
Will meet the cost of the work and
will be turned back to the credit of
the state. The cost of putting through
these irrigation schemes differs in diff
ferent localities, but ranges from $40
to $50 an acre, with an average of
about $25. 1t is estimated that the
cost for the work being done here
will be about $33 an acre; thus each
settler will pay about $3.50 a year for
ten years. At the end of five years
he is given a title to his land, though
the payments go on for five years
longer and constitute lien upon his
land. AT the end of ten years the
settlers under the scheme own the
water and the state is reimbursed for
the cost

Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the work being done here is the big
