THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



SENATORS PLAN SECOND TRIP 



Committee from United States Sen- 

 ate Will Make Journey to South- 

 western Projects. 



It is announced that the senatorial 

 committee on irrigation and recla- 

 mation of public lands is planning to 

 meet for its second trip at Denver 

 on October 31. On the following 

 day they will visit the Gunnison tun- 

 nel and after making an investiga- 

 tion as to conditions will go to Grand 

 Junction. 



Several of the members of this com- 

 mittee were unable to make the trip 

 during August, because of personal 

 business or matters that compelled 

 them to remain in the East. From 

 present indications, it is stated, nearly 

 the full committee will meet at Den- 

 ver for the inspection of projects in 

 Colorado, Utah, California and New 

 Mexico. 



As at present outlined, the itiner- 

 ary of the November tour is as fol- 

 lows: Gunnison project, Nov. 1; 

 Grand Junction, Nov. 2; Salt Lake, 

 Nov. 3; Nevada, Nov. 4 and 5; Cali- 

 fornia and Sacremento Valley proj- 

 ects, Nov 7 and 8; Klamath, Ore., 

 Nov. 9; San Francisco, Nov. 10; Los 

 Angeles, Nov. 11; Imperial Valley, 

 Cal., Nov. 12; Yuma, Nov. 13; Roose- 

 velt Dam project, Ariz., Nov. 14; El 

 Paso, Nov. 16; Santa Fe, N. M., 

 Nov. 18. 



The committee will return to Chi- 

 cago on Nov. 20. 



REPORT ON BELLE FOURCHE. 



Supervising Engineer I. W. Mc- 

 Connell, who has charge of Govern- 

 ment reclamation in South Dakota, 

 states that about 25,000 acres of land 

 under the Belle Fourche project were 

 irrigated this year. The storage reser- 

 voir has not yet reached a stage 

 where it can be utilized. The Belle 

 Fourche dam, which will be the larg- 

 est earthen dam in existence, is about 

 60 per cent completed, and at the end 

 of the present year the gap in the 

 embankment at Owl Creek will prob- 

 ably be closed. Next year stored 

 water will doubtless be available for 

 all the lands which are at present 

 under canals. Under the Outlet ca- 

 nal there are 12,000 acres at the pres- 

 ent time; under the South canal about 

 16,000 acres; and under the Indian 

 Creek lateral of the North canal 

 there will be 16,000 acres. The irri- 

 gation carried on this year was by 

 direct diversions from the Belle 

 Fourche river, and the supply was 

 sufficient. 



The Northwestern Railroad has se- 

 cured a right of way for a line to ex- 

 tend from Belle Fourche to Pierre, 

 which will give transportation for all 

 points in the project, with no haul 

 exceeding ten miles. The company 

 promises to complete this road within 

 a year.
