Big MUDDY PROJECT
OF MUCH ben Eft.
SURVEYOR STATES.
Cooperation of All Would
Aid In Getting Project
Designated

A concerted drive by farmers,
sportsmen and taxpayers in an effort
to secure construction of the Big
Muddy Irrigation project was empha-
sized by county assessor Robert L.
Wheeler this week.
Mr.. Wheeler said that "a great ba-
sin extends from the Canadian line
to the Missouri river, through this
country. 1t is drained by the Big Mud
dy and its various tributaries. Every
spring the water which falls on this
big watershed, many square miles in
extent, drains into the center channel,
runs off, and is lost to our people. II
not only does no good, in thus flooding
away, but it does great harm in wear
ing away the soil and in carrying it
off where it will do no good to any
body and is lost to our farmers.
About a year ago the state plan
ming board asked our people to desig-
nate a project which would be useful
and beneficial to the whole county.
Judge Paul and l suggested that
tilC WdlCl WiliIi ID WdotCQ lively
spring in the Big Muddy valley be
held back by dams and dykes SO that
it could not only be used for surface
irrigation but also for subirrigation,
The state planning board agreed to take
up the matter with the state water
conservation board. This was done.
And the state water conservation
board ordered the survey made. Such
survey is complete; and the state wa
ter conservation board has approved
this as an economical and serviceable
project. However, the congressional
appropriation for Montana was insult
ficient to provide for all projects; and
appropriations will be made for those
projects which the people of Montana
are able to demonstrate are most
needful for the state welfare.
"The survey which was made by the
state water conservation board has
been duly forwarded, and a copy has
gone to Governor Holt and to the STATE
water conservation board. And we
promised that the taxpayers of Sileri-
dan county and of Roosevelt coxnty
would petition congress to appropriate
sufficient funds to complete this prof.
ect.
The state water conservation
board needs our help. They cannot
do this alone. If we do not give them
our combined support we may never
have another chance. We are grateful
to them for what they have done; and
