WYOMING. 



A committee, representing the Albany County Water 

 Users' Association, have begun preliminary steps for filing 

 suit in the United States District Court, to contest the right 

 of Colorado irrigators to divert head waters of the Big 

 Laramie in that state. The base of this suit is the fact 

 that all available waters of the Big Laramie have been appro- 

 priated in Wyoming. 



Construction work on the main canal of the Wyoming 

 Central Irrigation Company, it is predicted, will be started 

 in the near future. This canal will be 50 miles in length, and 

 will water approximately 240,000 acres in the vicinity of 

 Riverton. It is said that 40 per cent of land owners have 

 signed for water. t 



The North Platte Valley Irrigation Company has let the 

 contract for construction of a siphon to carry water from 

 the La Prele ditch in the Platte river, to water about 5,000 

 acres On the Douglas side of the river. Allen & Co., of 

 Denver, were the successful bidders. This siphon will be of 

 California redwood, 2,200 feet in length and four feet in 

 diameter, and will be located about six miles south of Douglas. 



The Reclamation Service will build structures of various 

 types at numerous places along laterals under the North 

 Platte 'Irrigation Project. The structures consist of concrete 

 drops, turnout gates, bridge piers, culverts, flumes, etc. It 

 is estimated that the total cost will be about $40,000.

 struction of the Covey canal, near Cokeville. Approximate 

 quantities of excavation, earth 75,000 cubic yards ; loose 

 and solid rock 2,000 cubic yards. Information can be obtained
