TO PUSH BELLE FoURcHE WORK.
Uncle Sam Will Be Able to Open Big
Tract This Year.

Uncle Sam Will Be Able to Open Big
Tract This Year.
Since it has been practically decid-
ed that Orman & Crook, the bankrupt
contractors, will not attempt to COM
plete the work on the Belle Fourche
irrigation project, the government has
been taking steps toward a speedy re-
sumption Of work, and o is perfect
ing a plan whereby this will be start
ed In a few weeks and continued un-
til the work is completed.
Twenty-Five per cent of the Orman
e Crook contract Is finished, and one
half Of the entire project is completed.
1t is estimated that it will require six
years to complete the project. AS the
work stands to-day there are 10000
acres of land on the south side of the
creek on which the water can be turn
ed this year, making it ready for i'm
mediate purchase by the public. For
this land the government will receive
$3.50 e acre for the use of the water
from the ditch, giving a revenue OF
S42, 600. This amount will be used to
finish the north side of the creek. For
the six years the government will re-
ceive s250,OO0 from the users of water
on the south side and $150,000 from
the north side, which, together with
the tools and horses of the Orman &
Crook company seized by the govern
ment. will come close to making up
the 100000 which will have to be ex-
pended before the entire work is COM
pleted.
II is on these lines that the govern.
mentf figures that it can complete the
project cheaper and better than by
granting a new contract.
