reclamation project, which lies north
west Of Great Fails, is expected TO be-
gin within q few weeks. This act con-
talns an amendment proposed by Con-
gresham Scott Beayitt whereby exist

Sun River appropriation.
The purpose Of the dam Is TO supply
sufficient water to 10000 acres OF land
already under the ditch in the Sun
River district and TO irrigate an adj
dItional 10000 acres. When the 1925
interior department appropriation act
came before congress. a rider was at
tached providing that no appropria-
tons for new work would be available
unless the state In which a project Is
situated arranged to finance settlers
on the project.
The department at first interpreted
the act as applying to Sun river. but
Il was argued In behalf Of the project
farmers that the construction Of Glib
son dam. so far as the 10000 acres al
ready under the ditch were concerned,
was merely the execution Of what the
had contracted to do years
