IRRIGATION PLANS
SUBJECT TO DELAY
Vast Projects viii Be Put
Through in the State Dur
ing 1910.
BONDS ARE ACCEPTABLE
VENTURES REGARDED AS SURE
TO BRING PROFITS.

Irrigation projects jn Utah that rep
resent an outlay Of millions Of dollars
have been retarded because CT the
slowness OF the department Of the in
terror to approve lands that have been
approved by the state. This applies %
Carey act lands, which must first be OBJ
tanned from the state and later ap-
proved by the department Of interior.
The department Of -he interior is
overlooked with applications from west
ern states that have been approved by
the land board, and the rush OF work
has made it impossible to get quick re.
turns. The department is just as anX-
iOus to report on these applications as
the state land boards We're to approve
them, and Just as soon as the customary
investigation is made word viii be sent
back from the department, through the
usual course, that the applications for
selection have been approved and that
the work may go on.
Among the Carey act projects that
are now waiting on the department Of
the interior IS the z. Warren Stess
project ir Emery county. This land,
which has been approved by the state.
has an area of 4959.15 acres. The pro-
moters will build a dam and reservoir
in the Price river at a cost OF SAC, goo.

approval comes from Washington.
Thousands Of Acres.
The Buckhorn Irrigation company
has 29,S79 acres in Emery county, and
will derive water for the land from
Huntington creek. The land is located
near Price, along the Denver &. Rio
Grande and storage reservoirs contain
ing $1,000 acre feet viii be built at a
cost OF $500 coo. Work will ste.t here
too, as soor as the department OF the
interior gives the word.
One million dollars viii be spent or
dams and reservoirs in the Duchesnt
river, that vii supply water for more
than 10000 acres in W8satch and Yin
tab counties. The land lies just south
Ct the Uintah Indian reservation al0ns
the proposed right Of way OF the Moi
fat road. This is known as the Lot
Smith, Jones and Smart Carey act pre-
sect, and when the department approves
the state-selected lands work viii begin
Other Carey act companies are wait
ing on word from Washington, and still
more are filing applications with tin
state land beard. Survey parties are IL
the field IN various parts OF the state
and before the end OF 1910 vas
stretches Of desert viii have beer
transformed into fertile, crop-bearinl
farms
There is no trouble in getting money
to finance legitimate irrigation projects
and the bonds issued for many Of III
big ones are Just as acceptable in tn
eastern market as almost any other Sc
curity.
