county, and the Little Missouri proj- 

 ect of 20,607.98 acres, in the south- 

 eastern part of Fallen county. The 

 Ruby project in Southern Montana 

 and the Musselshell project, along the 

 river of that name, have been canceled. 

 A temporary segregation has been 

 made, embodying part of old Red 

 Rock and the Ruby projects, to deter- 

 mine the feasibility of the scheme. 



"There seems to be a tendency by 

 the public at large." says the report, 

 "from some unfavorable conditions 

 that have arisen in the past, to doubt 

 the water supply of all Carey projects. 

 Montana has, however, been taking 

 every precaution to guard against 

 such a condition arising in this state. 

 The companies have been notified that 

 before their work or water supply will 

 be accepted they must be prepared to 

 have the hydrbgraphers of the state 

 engineer's office report upon their ca- 

 pacities, from actual current meter 

 measurements taken on the system in 

 actual service."

dan county. Edward Gillette, who has 

 had charge of the project for a great 

 many years, states that he has lately 

 received word that a number of Den- 

 ver capitalists, some of whom are al- 

 ready interested in Sheridan county 

 property, are looking into the propo- 

 sition and that they sent a representa- 

 tive to Chicago to interview others 

 who are interested. 



Sidney E, Bartlett, manager of the 

 Fremont Lake Irrigation Company, 

 announces the completion of the canal 



which will irrigate 10,000 acres around

After years of delay, caused by the 

 failure of the Wyoming Central Irri- 

 gation Company, work on the recla- 

 mation of rich ceded Indian lands in 

 the vicinity of Riverton. Wyo., has 

 been resumed. The Riverton Ditch 

 Company, of which J. A. Delfelder,

C. E. Howell, member of the Wy- 

 oming state board of water control 

 and local manager of the Eden Valley 

 Irrigation Company, states that the 

 first unit of the big irrigation project, 

 including a dam to divert the waters 

 of the Big Sandy river to a reservoir 

 that has been constructed, has been 

 completed. The building of main 

 canals and laterals sufficient to irrigate 

 21,000 acres of land is also finished. 

 It is proposed to begin at once a 

 campaign to induce settlers to locate 

 on the tract and with the settlement 

 of the ai.OOO now under irrigation 

 other units of the plant will be built 

 until the 90,000 acres under the project 

 are made susceptible of irrigation. 



An old proposition which, if carried 

 out, will mean much to Sheridan, 

 Wyo., and the entire Sheridan county, 

 is being revived; men of means are be- 

 coming interested; and there is every 

 possibility that the project may be 

 carried out. The proposition is that 

 of converting Lake DeSmet, in John- 

 son county, into an immense storage 

 reservoir, the water impounded there 

 to be used in irrigating a vast tract on 

 Clear creek, other lands on. Piney 

 creek, and reclaiming a big area on 

 Dutch creek and Prairie Dog, in Sheri-
