Reclamation Reservoir
Is Running Farm

WE ARE MEMBERS of that group of
farmers who live in the Missouri valley
in Broadwater County, in that area
which is identified as the Canyon Ferry
Dam project.
In 1852 we sold less than half of our
irrigated farm to the Bureau of Rec
lamation, with the understanding that
the acreage we kept would not be af-
fected by the water, even when the
reservoir was raised to high level.
However, when the dam was COM
pleted and put into operation in July,
1855, the reservoir filled to the $500
level very rapidly, which caused the
water to encroach on our own ground,
and created wet and swampy conditions
on the part of the farm bordering the
reservoir.
The road at the lower margin of
the farm became too wet to be disable,
and was hazardous for heavy farm
equipment, so we were compelled to
build new road at the upper margin
of the farm to provide access to our
fields. Water damaged AZ acres of our
hay and some of the hay crop was
lost.
This year is repetition of last year,

few months this past year and fami-
lies lived in fear some child would
unwittingly put the poison in its mouth.
We were winter-feeding sheep on the
edge of Red Rocks Lakes in the Cen
tennial Valley, pitting our wits against
the elements, as we had 10 comfortable
ranch house in which to live but only
a sheep wagon provided by the man
for whom my husband worked.
l had longed for the novel experience,
although our friends argued against it
and the valley people worried for us,
knowing we would have to live through
4O-degree below zero weather and fight
through billiards and deepening drifts
to keep the Sleeps heads above snow.
l never missed a morning driving
team while my husband fed. never
knew an hour when would trade my
place with anyone else. But can not
deny my lonesomeness for human con-
tacts-for the lively chatter of the tea
room or the communicative oneness
of the theater audience. But the lonely
hours were abated by the comforting
presence of a little copper-colored fig
ure that Rugged my heels wherever I
went.

I had Goldie, cocker spaniel we
had raised from puppyhood. She came
first to greet us when we stopped at
the ranch with the sign: SPANIEL
PUPPIES FOR SALE. We always de-
lighted in saying that she picked us,
for from the moment she welcomed
us with her stubby tail, we were a
threesome. She never cried for her
brothers or sisters. She seemed COM
pletely happy with us.
Goldie loved sheep. She was en-
thralled at their antics. Their powder
puff tails intrigued her unendingly. But
when the old sheep dogs had no time
for her and the sheep showed no con-
Germ for her tiny presence, she had
the company of our goat and me.
At night, when we crawled into bed,
sometimes wearing our alpaca-lined
flying suits to keep from freezing to
death-as soon as our little shepherd
er'S stove fire went out, the 40-degree
Montana winter seeped in, coating our
canvas wells with frost from our
breathing-Goldie would Snuggle on my
husbands feet. Before midnight, after
I was fast asleep, she would creep up

Skip the tussleS we had in the hay
stacks, copper penny jumping into
our arms; skip our excursion in the
saddle in search of lost sheep, a furry
bundle riding in front of my husband;
skip the faithfulness, the devotion, the
love, but let's not skip one small body's
eXcruciating suffering while we stood
by ignorant of what to do, not knowing
what we saw, not realizing there wasn't
thing could save Goldie.
We were too full of love to shoot our
little cOpper-colored shadow, and we
were too weakened to listen to the
frightful howls from the tiny body. We
tried to walk away-to block our ears
my sobs choking out part Of the agon
lied sounds a dogs throat can utter
I hear those walls in my sleep. l wake
in the night in cold sweat, my fists
clenched in protest at such misery.
When the little figure began to stiff
en- in commissions, my husband admin
iStered the merciful bullet, but why
oh why hadn't we willed it sooner:
Because of ignorance of 1890. Whel
my brother-in-law joined us, he tolc
us his story. He had lost, on the cattl
