BIG HORN CANYON DAM
PROJECT POTENTIAL

A program to cost SIS ,000, 900
was recommended for Yellowstone
basin, including the projects men,
toned above, study of stream
flow, erosion control, land use and
wild life refuge development.
The committee reported % pow
er plants in the basin developing
$500 kilowatts and added the %
potential power projects which do
not conflict with existing units
are not economically justified.
Montana waterway projects
which the committee believed
justified included:Saco, levees and
channel, SIS, 900; Wibaux, levees,
channel, $126, 600; Glasgow, levees
and channel, SIS, SOC, and Harlem,
~levees, channel, $23 800.
Work which the committee does
not believe justified in Montana
at this time includes levees at
Chinook the cost of which was
estimated at $94 800; Havre levee,
3 $1,000; Nashua, levee and chan
mel work, $48, 900.
The committee pointed out the
PWA has granted $500, 900 for an
extension of laterals on the Sun
river project to add 10000 acres
for a total of $4,000 acres under
irrigation in this region. The re-
port said about $4,000 acres re-
manned undeveloped and would
require an extension Of the lateral
system which was not Immediately
contemplated:
"A regulator reservoir was held
the great need on the Milk river
project, which includes $4,000
acres, from near Havre to the
confluence of the stream with the
Missouri below Glasgow. The PWA
has allocated 2 1000, 900 to this
project for a dam to store 125, 900
acre feet of water.
Additional water storage reser-
voirs are needed, the committee
reported on the Conrad Waller
project and should be considered
in any development program.
The Musselshell project, the
committee reported, is of a differ
ent nature than many others,
since it embraces sheep and cattle
country. The report said there is
a need for irrigated tracts in the
region to provide hay for winter
feed for livestock which can be
accomplished by construction of
diversion canals.
The committee said the investi-
cation of this project has not
been carried far enough to de-
termine the estimated cost of a
reservoir at Deadman's basin.

TEMPORARY DROUTH
PLANS MADE PUBLIC
If Emergency Funds Available, a
Five Point Program Will Be
Put Into Effect.

Helena, June 4.-Plans to cope
with the drouth emergency in
Montana, which may result in
temporary curtailment of the rur-
al rehabilitation program, have
just been announced by Robert
Clarkson, state director of the
rural program. The five-point pro-
gram to be put into effect II
emergency drouth funds are OBJ
tanned, is as follows:
/. Pumpin g-Drilling of new
wells, each to fill water needs of
100 to 200 head of cattle; pumping
from streams to supplement fall
ing water supplies. 100000 has
been requested of the Federal
government for the construction
of 1000 of these wells.
2. Canal repair-To improve
leaky conditions and loss of much
needed water; repair of washoutS
and fumes.
3. Existing s-Repairs to
make them tighter and repair of
washoutS.
4. Water hold dams-Construc-
ton of stock water hole dams in
dryest sections to catch any run
off from heavy showers or cloud
bursts this year; will be useful in
future and prevent erosion.
S. Utilization of all existing
modes of water conservation.
Rural relief labor will be used,
but should the 81, 500 900 requested
for drouth relief, or more, be
made available, it is possible that
after all rural labor on relief rolls
is employed, workers from indus,
trial cities may be placed at work
to speed up the emergency pro-
gram.
It is imperative that the task Of
saving hundreds of thousands Of
head of cattle and sheep in
drouth regions begin at once,
Clarkson said.

The Drought Creates Sentiment
in Favor of Irrigation
Projects,

The long continued drought over
the middle west and northwestern
states has had the effect of
changing the minds of many east
ern senators and congressman
who hitherto have held the opin-
ion that no more irrigated land
is needed and therefore they were
opposed to appropriating funds
for the development of govern
ment projects which would bring
more irrigable land under cult
walton. The proof of this change
of heart is found in the following
Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, D. c., under date of
June S, indicating that u own
Big Horn canyon dam project is
occupying a prominent place
among possible irrigation projects:
President Roosevelt's water flow
committee has recommended to
congress the expenditure of more
than 10000, 900 in irrigation,
flood control and power develop
ment in Montana and Wyoming.
Favorable recommendation by
the committee does not indicate
construction will be started i'm
mediately, but rather that the
projects should be considered in
any l%ong-range water development
program.
Completion of the Casper-Al-
cova reclamation project on the
North Platte river in Wyoming at
a cost of $10,700,000 was recon-
mended.
Montana projects on which en-
phasis was placed included the
Sun river, the Milk river, the Con-
rad-Valier and the Musselshell,
with incidental mention for con-
sideration of the Marias river
project in northern Montana, the
Judith basin project in central
Montana, the Cut Bank project
near Glacier, the Ruby project
near Virginia City, and storage on
the Gallatin near Bozeman.
In addition to completion of the
Casper-Alcova project in Wyoming.
the committee recommended that
work be finished on the Riverton
and shoshone project in Yellow
stone basin and that investiga-
ton be made regarding the FEAST
bility Of construction of the Buff
falo Rapids project, Miles City to
Glendive, and the Big Horn Can
yon project at the mouth of the
Big Horn canyon, south of Hardin,
Mont.

AREA MUCH EXTENDED
Includes 20 Eastern Montana
Counties at First Classed
as Secondary.

Bozeman, Mont, June 6-The
emergency drouth area has been
extended to include the 20 eastern
counties in Montana which pre-
viously were designated as second
airy drouth counties and the nee
essary organization will be set up
at once to buy up and move cat
tie in the distress area under the
Federal drouth relief program.
This decision was reached last
week at the livestock relief meet
ing at St. Paul called by E. w.
Sheets in charge Of the federal
emergency livestock program. Mon
tana was represented by J. c. Tay-
lor, director of the Montana Ex-
tension Service and Tom Ross
of Chinook, member of the COM
mittee of Is, recently appointed
to draw up a national livestock adj
justment program.
An initial meeting was held at
Helena, June 4, called by Director
Taylor, in which representatives
Of the State Livestock Sanitary
Board, the state Office of the
Federal Bureau of Animal Indus
try and livestock organizations
met to draw up plans for the state
and appoint an advisory commit
tee. The following day the ad-
visory committee met at Miles
City to set up an emergency live
stock relief office and start work
under the federal program.
In the plan outlined at st. Paul,
official veterinarians will classify
cattle or farms in the drouth area
at the request, Of farmers and
stockmen. OnAfarms and ranches
where conditions are most acute,
those cattle too poor to be ship
ped and not fit for food will be
killed on the place, the owner to
be paid $12 per head for two
year-olds and over, $40 for cat
tie one to two years old and 81
per head for those under one year.
Cattle that can be shipped for
food will be bought at the fol-
lowing rates; two-year-olds and
over, $13 to $40 per head; one to
two-year-olds, $11 to SIS per head;
under one-year-old, SIS to So per
head.
Each owner will determine
whether OF not he wishes to come
into the program. Those who par
ticipate will sign an agreement to
hold down the number of cows on
their farms in 1896 to 80 percent
Of the number On hand this year.
Emergency organizations to put
the program into operation will
be set up in the drouth counties
with extension agents named as
administrators.

OF WHEAT
FIELDS STARTS next week

upon to throw some light as tt
how the acres were actually dis
tributed.
The common practice used tc
compute acres has been to USE
the grain drill measure. This may
or may not bezaccurate. Oficial
measurement OF the fields should
be Of value to every farmer in
the county for future use. The
inspection should prove a protec-
tive measure for the growers OF
the county. .
Members of the, wheat allot-
ment association should check on
every point of compliance with
the contract in order that the in
spection will not find him in vio-
lation Of the contract and prob
ably lose the second payment due
as soon as the inspection is COM
pleted in the county.
Wheat inspection for Big Horn
county is recommended by the
Wheat Allotment Com mi t e e
which attended the training
school at Billings on Monday and
Tuesday Of this week. Measure
ment Of fields, a study of instru-
ments and making OF reports were
included in the instruction.
The following applicants for in
spectors from this county attend
ed the school, arthur Gustafson
and J. A. Perrys4 Hardin: Donald
P. Blake, Lodge Grass; Geo. Mil
Ter, Sarpy; Guy johnson, st.
Xavier, and W. Z. Raglan, Decker.
These inspectors will meet to-
day-Friday-in the county agents
office to make final ARRANGEMENTS
for the inspection of the wheat
allotment farmstof the county. In
spection will probably start on
Monday of next week.
This inspection is an essential
part of the wheat adjustment pro-
gram. A comprehensive measure
Of the acres in wheat in the
United States will be established
which will be authentic, official
and accurate.
