pany Under the Carey act individ-
uals or corporations may submit bids
to the state board of land commits
sloners for the construction of this
system, and the state will let the
contract to the lowest bidder.
1T is eStim ated, on a basis of 10O,-
600 acres, that the entire project will
cost approximately $3,700,000, or $37
per acre. This estimate is about one
half of the cost per acre for water
rights under the Roosevelt dam and
the Yuma project, making it the
cheapest land in the Southwest.
competitive bids. The land itself
will not cost to exceed $500 per
acre.
preliminary survey of the Parker
& Colorado River railroad has recent
ly been made, and application for a
right -ofway through the reservation
is now pending in the department. of
the interior. This road Will run from

Character of Land.
The land to be irrigated under the
Parker project lies in compact body
on the east side of the Colorado riv-
or Of the 10000 acres of irnigable
land ON this side of the river, only
about 5000 acres are classed as mesa
I1nd, which will be reclaimed by
pumping. The balance, 125 5000 acres,
are bottom lands, and extend for for
ty miles along the river sOUGh of
Parker
The soil is alluvial sandy loan,
with a luXuriant growth of willows,
cOttonwoOds and some mesquite and
ironwoOd trees. There are few 40
acre unites that do not have mesquite
timber, and this is considered the
richest land in the valley However,
there are many thousands of acres
practically clear of brush and timber,
and very little leveling will have ito
be done on most of the land The
valley contains but few hummocks
and water can be reached at from 6
to 20 feet.
The reservation lands are exceed
ingly fertile when watered, and pro-
duceS when cleared and intelligently
cultivated fine crops of alfalfa, cot
ton, corn, milomaize, sorghum, and
similar crops, and will produce as
many as eight crops of alfalfa in one
year, or it will produce a crop of
wheat or of barley, a crop of corn,
and a crop of beans, in the order
named all i'm the same year. Dates
and melons will grow here as we'll as
Alfalfa ON properly pre-
pared ground and irrigated at proper
times, will yield ten tons to the acre
each year and furnish some pasture

consist of 5000 acres of bottom

bottom lands ON the California side
of the river. It is proposed to reclaim
