project, which will water thousands of
acres of sagebrush land in Grant
county are under way, is the informa.
tion given out by J. M. Spencer of
Plains, Mont. Mr.. Spencer, who has
large land interests in the Crab creek
country. says that the farmers in that
section have begun active preparations
to place $50, 900 acres under irrigation
by means of. a pipe line to be built
from the Columbia river to the Crab
creek valley in Grant county.
1t will cost SIS, 900, 900 to complete
this gigantic undertaking, which will
be one of the longest gravity systems
in the world. The pipe line will run
more than 100 miles before it reaches
the nearest land to be watered and the
farthest point will be the Columbia
river, on the northern boundary of
Benton county.

IN the forestry and reclamation bureaus
asking $4,000, 900 irrigation fund
from congress and commencing the
Mississippl deep waterway, the 18th
National Irrigation congress came to a
practical adjournment yesterday.
The following officers in addition IN
tne election of B. A. Fowler, of
Phoenix, Ariz., president, and Arthur

elected unanimously:
First vice president, Ralph Twitch.

An annual appropriation of $40. O0O.-
OOO for period of five years to aid in
irrigation work is asked of congress in
resolutions by the National Irrigation
congress. This is perhaps the most
important recommendation in the reso-
lutions adopted, of which the following
is synopsis:
That homesteaders under a govern
ment project shall not be required to
establish residence before the gov
ernment is prepared to furnish them
with water.
That the government take measures
to drain swamp lands in aid of land re-
clamation and of public health.
That tie Irrigation congress aid,
with other conservation organizations,
to bring about waterway improve
ments, reforestation, drainage and
other like projects.
That there be brought about SURVEYS
and estimates of reclamation of sub
merged lands where the work is inter-
national in character. (This refers to
Northern Idaho more specifically
That the reclamation act be ex-
tended to Hawaii.
That the states pass laws regulating
cutting of public and private timber.
That there should be no political
lines with reference to the use of water
for irrigation.
That the Mississippi deep waterway
be developed.
The committee turned down the res
olution asking $4,000, 900, 900 bond
issue, after debate in which some of
the Washington delegation upheld the
measure.
