the purpose have proven Inadequate
Perhaps the most spectacular OF the
achievements Of w. G. Swendsen, COM
missioner Of reclamation, has been the
satisfactory adjustment of the various
difficulties which have arisen as the
result Of the current years record
breaking water shortage.
Distribution and appointment OF
water in all the streams OF the STATE
became urgently necessary as soon as
the early summers unusual scarcity
developed and with the single excep
ton of an instance of court interfer-
ence, Commissioner Swendsen made
his adjustments so satisfactorily that
he won the cordial appreciation OF
several influential citizens who had
been bitterly opposed to the idea OF
definite reclamation department
Directly as a result OF the Davis
bill re-alignment, tffe reclamation de-
partment has been able to expedite
tremendously all matters of Carey act
administration Under the late and
unlamented system Of land board con-
troll, Carey act applications, particu-
larly IL they involved legal and engi-
neering questions, of ten were not act
ed upon for six months or year, but
with the present Capitalization Of func-
tions action always has been prompt
"Our guesses may not prove infalli
bly, accurate"said commissioner Swend-
sen in explaining his proposed system
"but we do believe that they will be
of immense value to many irrigators.
1t is my opinion that much Of this
years shortage was due to the fact
that many farmers were dilatory. If
irrigation systems had been ready in
time to use the early spring water the
situation would have been far less SER
ious."
Among the large tasks prospective Of
the reclamation department is com
plete survey Of all the water resources
of the state, the view of properly util-
izing all undeveloped"so of supply
by means of storage reservoirs. For
the purposes of this survey, the recent
legislature appropriated $4,000.
