Project Lacking
Adequate Funds
Construction Will Begin Whenever
Necessary Money Is Available,
Thinks State Engineer.

The current issue of the Encamp-
ment Echo contains quotations from a
letter received by that paper from
State Engineer Frank c.. Emerson,
with reference to the proposed irriga-
ton projects in the valley, and we re-
produce herewith a few paragraphs
from the article, as follows:
The outstanding feature of the Sar-
atoga project, proposing to reclaim the
lands east of Saratoga and upon the
Pass creek flats, is that this project
is economically feasible today and pre-
sents an excellent possibility for de-
velopment. This project has the hearty
approval of the director and chief en-.
gineer of the Reclamation Service. as
a result of u inspection of same last
August. AS soon as the necessary
funds are available, l believe we can
be assured of actual construction.
"The Encampment project shows a
much higher cost than the Saratoga
project, and does not present as favor
able situation for early DEVELOPMENT.
1t is believed, however, that n plan can
be developed for the undertaking of
construction upon this project also in
the not too distant future"
The following paragraphs concern
ing the Saratoga project are from Mr..
Emerson's biennial report, recently is
sued, and indicate further the belief
of the State Engineer In the ultimate
building of this project, which will
furnish water to approximately 10000
acres east and north of Saratoga:
1.-THE estimate of cost prepared by
the United States Reclamation Service
for the Saratoga project is $67 per
acre. This estimate, however. is based
on slightly higher unit prices than are
prevalent at the present time. . . "
'In the opinion of the writer. the
Saratoga project can be constructed by
private enterprise at a cost of about
$50 per acre. which is allowable in this
locality, considering the present values
of irrigated land. with such a cost
and with such IN excellent quality Of
land, the project is feasible without
qualification, and its early develop
ment may be confidently expected"

of the Medicine Bow National Forest
appeared before the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners and asked that Car
bon county set aside a sum of money
to be used in finishing the construc-
ton of n road across the Medicine Bow
National Forest connecting Brooklyn
Lake in Albany county with the road
running from Saratoga into the Forest.
For several years the Forest Ser
vice and Albany county have cooper
ated in constructing a road from
Laramie to the beautiful country
around Brooklyn Lake. This road has
been completed and hat section of AL
bany county is a great resort for Lara
mic people. Albany county has appro-
priated and spent several thousand
dollars on this road.
Last year SUPERVISOR Hilton had ov-
er $4,000 government money expended
upon a road running from Ten Mile
in Carbon county to within four miles
of the west boundary of u county.
This money was spent without Carbon
county cooperating with a cent of
money.
ut is estimated that 1t will require
approximately $4,000 to complete the
road to the Carbon county boundary
and Supervisor Hilton asks that this
county construct the remainder of this
road. This four miles would bring
the Carbon county road right to beauti-
full Lake Marie in the mountains. With
this road constructed an effort would
then be made to have Albany county
complete the road from Brooklyn Lake
to connec with the Carbon county road

Old Timers Dance
Tomorrow Night
Annua, Event Will BE Pulled Off i'm
Regular Style-Preparing for
Large Attendance.

Committees are busy today getting
everything in shape for the annual
gathering of the Old Timers of the
valley in Saratoga tomorrow night.
The annual dance of the Old Timers
has for many years been one of the
principal social events of the winter
season and those in charge of the af-
fairs will leave nothing undone to
make this years gathering an enjoy
able one.
The big supper, always a feature OF
this occasion, will be in charge of Mrs.
Ira Barkhurst and Mrs. w, II. Large.
Music will be furnished by the En-
campment orchestra.
Although the valley roads are more
or less blockaded as a result of the re-
cent storms, a big crowd is looked for.
1t will take more than bad roads To
keep many of the valley residents from
attending the Ola Timers dance.

sons and now the Maroon team are
without a date for this week end
Coach Ray llaines stated sthat he
would play anybody on that date
which is u pretty broad invitation
but he has confidence in his husky
charges and is willing to take Il
chance with them against any team
that he can sign up.
The Coburn mentor has been In

vacant date with some school in that

or any other aggregation. Out-of-

that Coburn and kents Hill again
meet for the supremacy in the state

now stands at the head. Hebron's

need of game to keep them in con-
