RANCHERS BACKING
IRRIGATION SCHEME

Spokane, Aug 9.-Ranchers owning
| $1,000 acres of land in the Crab Creek
district In Grant county, Washington,
southwest of Spokane, are backing 9
project TO pipe water from the Colum
bia river near Marcus. Stevens county
Washington, TO po!:t more than 100
miles south. at q cost OF $4,000. 900,
thus providing one of the most eXten
slve gravity systems for irrlgating in
the world
The land TO be supplied with mois.
ture by artificial means Is In the heart
OF the sagebrush country in eastern
Washington and will be devoted to
be made ready for crops. The re-
claimed area will provide homes for
from 250,000 to 100000 men. women
and children when 1t is cut up into
five, ten and twenty acre tracts.
The farmers in the district have lev.
led an assessment of two and a half
cents an acre TO provide fund 70

Spencer OF Plains, Mont. owner OF
several thousand acres of land whI
is actively identified with the project,
believes the plan of carrying water
from the Columbia river 10 the arid
district by means OF pipes can be
worked out successfully. He said In
discussing the plan:
1T Is expected to bond the project
for sufficient funds TO properly finance
It. and the hackers believe the sys-
tom outlined will bring water to tho
land at an initial cost of less than $50
an acre. After that it Is estimated the
expense of maintenance will be much
below the present figure of 81 an
acre"
Mr. Spencer added that the survey
work will be started within a short
time and If this shows that the plans
can be carried out successfully It Is
expected active operations will begin
early the coming year to be pushed
TO completion
