lakes, where they expect to construct a mammoth reser-

 of Laramie. 



Irrigation has brought La Salle county, Texas, into 

 prominence the last three or four years. This county 

 is situated southwest of San Antonio. Nearly all of the land 

 under irrigation is along the Nueces river, where several 

 dams have been constructed this summer which will afford 

 capacity for the storage of a large amount of water and 

 more land will be put under irrigation. 



It is rumored that a Boston syndicate is looking into 

 the matter of an irrigation project which is to take the 

 flood waters of the Cheyenne river in the vicinity of Buf- 

 falo Gap and carry them out over the divide between 

 White and Bad rivers for the irrigation of a tract of about 

 200,000 acres in the valleys of the White and Bad rivers, 

 South Dakota. This is only another of the larger projects 

 which are among the possibilities of the state of South 

 Dakota for the next few years. 



An irrigation project sufficiently large to put 200,000 

 acres of land in the Pecos River Valley under water is 

 contemplated by Texas promoters. The estimated cost of 

 the undertaking as planned will be $5,000,000 and the 

 project will be one of the greatest irrigation systems in 

 that country. A large dam will be constructed and it is 

 planned to utilize extensive lakes for reservoirs and to 

 distribute the water by means of gravity.
