HARRIS WRITES
ON DAM SET-UP
Receives Statement That
Big HON And BoYsen
Dums Are Considered

Recent letters to and from
John j. Harris of Chicago,
president of the Big Horn Can
yon Irrigation and Power Co.,
Inc, concerning the construct
ion of, a dam at, the mouth OF
the Big Horn canyon were made
public in Hardin this week.
Mr.. Harris, in his statement
argued for the construction of
the Big Horn dam prior to the
erection Of the Boysen project.
His letter is as Follows:
Hon. w. H. Bashore, Director
U. S. Reclamation Service
washington, D. c.,
Dear Mr. Bashore:
II desire to thank you for
the fine attention accorded me
by MI. Sloan and associate re-
Gently while in your office in
Washington, D. c., regarding
the Lower Big Horn canyon
project in Montana, now des-
ignated as the Yellowtail pro-
ject.
II was much impressed with
the views advanced by Mr.
Sloan, and take this occasion
to present those of myself and
associates in the Big Horn Can
yon Irrigation and Power COM
pany of Hardin, Montana, fol
your consideration, before you
make final decision as to which
of the two dams should be
built first the Boysen project
in Wyoming or the Lower Big
Horn canyon project in Mont
ana.
The reasons we advance
for the building of the latter
dam, $50 feet high, in the
mouth of the Big Horn canyon
Montana, before any othel
dam is built in the Big Horr
or the Wind river, are as fol-
lows:
The proposed 55O-foot high
structure would contribute more
water for irrigation, power anc
all other beneficial uses, only
shifting the peak irrigation
water from wyoming into Mon.
tana, where less precipitation
lower elevation and good sol
with irrigation should offel
better and more varied crops
What power or other de.
mands can we assign to the
BoySen project that would give
it priority in construction
over the preponderating bene.
fits that would accrue to thai
section and the nation if the
high dam in Lower Big Horr
Canyon, Montana, were bull
first, especially when the con-
Struction costs of both projects
are nearly equal?
