back of that were other dry years
when the losses were proportion
ately heavy.
Looking into the future there is
every reason to believe that the
waters will be used up more. closely
and that whenever drouth comes the
losses will mount higher than ever
before because the amount of crops
in jeopardy will be more. II the
proposed reservoir were to be built
upon the sand or on a gravel bar
like many of our diversion dams
have been, there would be ample
reason for hesitating,. for 1t might
wash away, but no such danger
exists, and there is no element Of
risk, for the property will stand
there for ages, source Of wealth
each year.
In 1917, the state Of New York,
then poor like we are today, took
up the matter of building the Erie
canal, 1854 miles long at cost of
| 81, 100000, just about what the
American Falls reservoir is expected
to cost, depending somewhat upon
the height Of the dam is made, and
in 1925 the job was completed. Dur
ing all that time, Governor Dewitt
was derided as one who was squand-
ering the states resources and mort
gaging posterity for a worthless
ditch. They said the muskrats
would perforate' the locks and the
banks, that there would always be
washouts somewhere to block the
traffic, and then there was no call
for any such watercourse anyway,
and a hundred other objections and
dreamed-of calamities. @
The traffic streaming thru the
canal built up q dozen large cities
along the way and added great
wealth to the state at large and to
the whole country served by it. An
audit Of the income brought by the
canal showed something like $780,
100000 in period Of forty years.
In ten years after the canal
was finished the people Of New York
voted to expend $32,000,000 for en-
Ilargement of the canal from a depth
Of four feet to seven, from a width
on the bottom from twenty-eight to
fifty-six feet and a width on top
from forty to seventy feet, and COM
pleted the job in 1862. Then for
thirty-three years nothing more was
done on improvements, when they
expended $9,O00,000, and in 1903
under the leadership Of Theodore
Roosevelt they voted to expend
SOL, 900, 900 to make it twelve feet
deep, seventy-five feet wide on the
bottom and 100 feet on the top. and
this undertaking is about two-thirds
completed. After this job was
started, Roosevelt turned his atten-
tion to what he called, "The Big
Ditch the Panama canal, and had
it completed and ships passing thru
by the time his people at home had
the other job half done.
In a hundred years New York state
has expended about $125,000,00O on
her canal, and collected $130,0O0,-
900 in tolls in one period Of forty
years, besides reaping greater sums
from local traffic it brought in the
same period. -
| Canals and locks can go to decay
If not kept in repair. A reservoir
has very little expense and repairs
to be kept up. There is no question
about the need of storage now and
forever, and there Is no question that
we shall lose s$10,000,000 or more
every year we have a water shortage
without the reservoir.
