Malheur; and Washington, one in
which the preliminary work is well
under way in the Palouse country.
In Montana, there are several great
projects on the Milk river, the Sun
river and the Yellowstone, the latter
including land in North Dakota. In
Idaho, on the Snake river at Nina
doka, a magnificent storage is being
worked out. In Wyoming, on the
Shoshone river. while there is what
appears to the eye an ideal dam site,
narrow cut between giant and
almost perpendicular granite cliffs,
yet the engineering difficulties have
proven great, and the actual condi-
tions as they have been found, en-
tirely overturn the estimates made
from preliminary surveys. In Colo
rado. one of the most interesting
engineering constructions in the
country is being worked out in the
Gunnison valley. Here the longest

the Reclamation Act-a clear, expli-

Reclamation of the Arid West.
BY HENRY LEOPOLD LIrTGE.


Before a railroad had spanned the
continent and connected the eastern
part of the United States with the
Pacific Ocean, all travel between
civilization on the east and Califor-
MIA on the west was by way of the
old Sante Fe wagon trail, which
wound it's tortuous way across the
wind-swept plains OF the Great
American Desert.
The desert was as uninviting as
the Sahara. Some of the plains
were given over to bands OF rowing
Indians and mammoth herds of buffa-
10.
The march of civilization was un-
checked, however, by the terrors of
the barren country, and TO keep
pace with the ever advancing frontier
line the railroad was. in II few years,
built parallel with the wagon trail,
and the desert was intersected by its
tracks. At trst it was thought
that the country was suited only for
cattle-raising. but gradually the

until it was found that bountiful
crops could be grown provided sufii-
cient moisture were furnished them.
Rain was not plentiful, and the hot
winds swept the country and
scorched the vegetation. The plan
of taking water from the near
streams was tried Hundreds OF
thousands of dollars We're spent in

that the streams We're generally dry
when the water was most needed.

them with the appellation "Maver-
