CAN USE RIVER FOR IRRIGATION.
Only Need Heed ~Navigstion's Claims
on Streams.

State Engineer Lea, like every other
officer who opens the way In a new
department of government, IL finding
numerous problems to settle, without
any precedent for action. One matter
which he has Just settled is the rights
Of water ueers to take water from the
Missouri river for irrigation purposes,
the decision coming through the war
department at Washington.
4. J. Phares, who owns a tract OF
land near the river, applied for the
right to use water from the stream for
irrigation purposes. Engineer Lea
held he had no right TO grant the priv
ilege, as the water OF the stream Is
under government jurisdiction, and the
application was passed on to the gen
eral government. a reply has been re-
csived from II. F. Hodges, chief OF the
engineers Of the war department,
which holds that the department has
no power TO grant the use OF water
from the kis,ouri river for irrigation
purposes and could give no rights. But
where water Is taken from the river
for that purpose. 20 long as navigation
Is not INSTRUCTED by the appliance
used for the purpose, and the amount
Of water taken Is not such az 10 ap-
preciably reduce the flow Of the
stream, the department could make
no objection TO such lee In other
words, the man who uses Missouri
river water for irrigation can ecure
no right TO do so, but SO long as he
does not Obstruct navigation he will
not be disturbed. This will allow the
irrigation OF a number OF tracts along
the river, by means OF small power
pumps. and will materially assist the
work Of gardeners along the stream.

DAM WORK WELL ALONG.

With tho favorable weather OF the
last few weeks, work on the govern
ment irrigation project at Belle Fourche
has been making good progress. The
concrete work on the south side OF
tho river at the diversion dam Is
well along, and many yards Of con-
crete are being put in daily.
When this concrete work on the
south side Is completed, there will be
only the gap through which the water
Is now running, to fill with concrete.
The water from the river will then
be turned down the inlet canal as far
az Crow Creek, and down this stream
through the sluice to the Belle
Fourche river. The cut. upon which
the steam shovel Is at work, near Gil
berts ranch will be completed by the
middle OF September.
Subcontractors have completed two
miles CT the south side feeder canal.
II Is estimated that about a third of
the entire feeder canal now Is COM
pleted. and about 6 per cen Of the
north side canal. Nearly Is per cent
of the cut between Owl and Indian
creeks is finished, and the steam
shovel will be moved this week from
there to the reservoir site, where they
Will commence e~vcavating above the
