BID IRRIGATION pQ0Jt(1
10000 Acres on FIatwiIIoW With
drawn Under Carey Act--A Gigantic
Reclamation Scheme.


The withdrawal Of 20, 900 acres of
fertile benchland near the mouths
of Flatwillow and Macdonald creeks
means the launching of the largest
irrigation projects ever undertaken
in central Montana. The men who
are behind the project have been
figuring on it for many months past
and they are thoroughly equipped
to 90 ahead with the undertaking,
both as far as finances and know
ledge goes. Engineers have been
working out the feasibility OF the
reclamation scheme and surveys
have been made, indicating the en-
tire practicability Of irrigating the
bench by means Of large storage
reservoir, says the Lewlstown Daily
News.
A. Hogeland and William Nc
Clean, the we'll known civilengineers
are at work on the ground running
surveys. Both Of these men have
been working on the field tor some
time and they have made every test
necessary, which proves that the
land can be irrigated.
The dam which has been built
across Elk creek will be the largest
in central Montana. 1t will be
$500 feet long, and for distance
of about 600 feet it will be 1875 feet
high. The base will be immense
and the structure will be gigantic
one. 1t will be built of concrete
walls with dirt for filling in.
The flood waters of Flatwillow,
Elk and Macdonald will be i'm
pounded, and big lake will be
formed. The lake will be from five
to six miles in length and from one
to two and half miles wide.
The amount Of capital that will
be required to swing the deal will
be close to 100000. The construc-
ton work Of the dam will cost an
immense sum, while the ditching
and other expense will cause the
total to reach a big figure.
The IRRIGATION of the tract means
the settlement of that region by
actual homebuilders. With plenty
of water for irrigation purposes, a
smaller acreage will be required to
support family and the region
will be thickly settled. Under the
Carey act the lard is withdrawn on
condition that the promoters place
the tract under irrigation and sell
the water rights to the various sub
divisions to actual home builders,
who file on the land and pay
the government a ANAL sum pei
acre. However this sum to the
government can be and is usually
paid by the promoters, and all the
settlers do is to pay certain
amount for the water and the land
IN the nrOmOtinp COMPANY.
A number OF other projects SINH
lar to this one have been carried
out with success in this state. One
of the most notable is the Billings
! Land and Irrigation company's neal
the Sugar City.
The proposed line of the Milwau'
kee will traverse this fertile tract
and will make it very valuable.

COUNTY DIVISION FIGHT;
TO CUT FREMONT COUNTY
Special to The Tribune.

ST ANTHONY. Ida, Dec. o.-That
county division will cut big figure in
the next Idaho legislature is n foregone
conclusion by those who have been care
fully watching the trend OF events since
the fight of two years ago. A movement.
having its origin in Bingham county. is
on foot to make Idaho Falls the county
seat of n new county, combining the
north end OF Bingham county with the
southern part of Fremont, which includes
Rigby The plan is to divide Fremont
county into three counties, there being
number of ambitious and growing young
cities which are desrous OF becoming
county seats. The change would In no
way affect the solidity OF st, Anthony as
n county seat, as one of the finest county
buildings In the state was recently erect
ed here at a cost of $4,000, and 1t As
not likely that any attempt will be made
TO take the county seat from her. Rigby
and ReXburg, on the south. each has the
county seat bug, and it Is not unlikely
that a bitter fight will be waged among
the towns In ths southern section over the
matter. IT Is argued in favor of the new
movement that Fremont county. as II now
stands. is unwiedy. and that business
could be transacted in O much more eXpr-
ditious manner were II divided AS the
members OF the legislature from Fremont
county are solidIy Democratic and ali of
them are from the south end OF the coun-
ty the issue is looked forward to with
