WATERWAYS APT To
CRAMP IRRIGATION
Buck Of Billings Says Here
Clash Is Between Midwest
Industry, Upstream Areas

Speaking on "The Yellowstone
Basin," Herbert Buck, secretary of
the Billings Commercial club, sur
prised Laurel Rotarians Tuesday
with the information that none of
the water %impounded by the Fort
Peck dam in northeastern Montana
is intended for irrigation, and that
the dam is part of a great project
to provide water transportation by
boats on the Mississippi and prin-
cipal tributaries. The Fort Peck
dam on the Missouri river, the
Mississippi's largest feeder. Most
Montanans had considered it a
source of irrigation water.
Buck said promoters of river nav
igation are deadly in earnest about
the matter, and that the partially
achieved objective is not fantastic.
1t was brought about primarily by
the Panama canal, which provided
industrial eastern states with cheap
water transportation to areas that
industrially developing middle states
viewed as markets. With canal in
terfering with the Mississippi basin
states industrial expansion, the lat
ter saw two possible remedies, rail-
roads and rivers.
At St. Louis several years ago a
conference resulted in an organiza-
ton to promote great inland water
ways to transport manufactured
goods of the middle west to east
and west coasts by way of the sea.
AS result of prompting water
for navigation, by increasing six
foot channels to nine-foot channels,
on eastern slopes of the
Rockies becomes secondary. Buck
was of the opinion the states prac-
ticing irrigation should do some
thing about saving their present
supplies and those intended for fu-
ture agricultural expansion.
People here, he said, were pre-
occupied and did not oppose the six
foot channel idea, and did not know
much about it. The Fort Peck dam
vas an opening wedge for taking
over irrigation water for naviga-
"Unless something is done, it
may cost us heavily" Not n drop
the Fort Peck reservoir a be
aiken for irrigation. The clash be-
,ween middle west industrial eX-
D%ansion and the agricultural pro-
gram on the upper streams.
Montana's water code, based on
he old California law which in turn
vas based on the miners inch, long
las been unsatisfactory and no SER
Gus effort has been made to cor
ect it. Another failure was in not
making much use of the state water
conservation board. Unfortunately
proposed compact between Mon
ana and adjoining states failed of
assage. Buck said he believed it
vas necessary to enact a satisfac-
Org compact to counter aggression
ON outside communities.
After his address, Buck answer
d questions presented by the Ro-
arians. He was introduced by O.

Laurel railroad employees were
greatly interested Tuesday in the
arrival and departure of the North
ern Pacific's No. COOL diesel-elec-
trio locomotive as it was being

$5,500,000. Seven are to be deliv-
cred this year and four in 1916.

They are 1873 feet long, weigh
$4,000 pounds, have a capacity of
1890 gallons of fuel oil, 760 gal
Ions of lubricating oil and 900 gal
Ions of water for cooling. The loco
