THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



127 



The Secretary of the Interior has 

 executed contract with the State of 

 South Dakota providing for the ex- 

 penditure of $5,000 by each contract- 

 ing party for the purpose of coopera- 

 tive investigation of what is known 

 as the Angostura project in that state. 



The project is located in Canter, 

 Fall River, and Washington counties, 

 and surveys will be made, particularly 

 in the basin of Cheyenne river, in or- 

 der to ascertain the feasibility of irri- 

 gation projects to outline their limits, 

 character and cost of development; 

 also to determine the ways and means 

 whereby the public waters, natural 

 lakes, if any, reservoir sites, state and 

 public lands, and other resources may 

 be used, reserved or disposed of in 

 connection with such irrigation proj- 

 ects to the highest advantage; also to 

 determine what power may be de- 

 veloped as an incident to the con- 

 struction of such irrigation projects, 

 and the value and possible uses there- 

 of.
