Feb. lS.-(Spcclal.)- -Ilydrographer Newell of the t'nltcd Stats Irrigation ourvey reports that private capl tal cannot be enlLsteil In Irrigation enter prises until there Is a better understanding In regard to tho question of titles to land and water. irrigation projects have proved safe only where co-operative canal companies have been organized and where thc titles to the land and water nre united. He says it Is almost Impossible to necure the Investment of capital where thc water right Is sepa rated from tho land. A few years ago it was thought large fortunes could bo mndo by companies se curing lands, building reservoirs and ditches and selling water rights to scttlcre. In Wyoming and other urld states a large num ber of enterprises of this character have been started and none of them hns been able to accomplish anything. Mr. Newell favors the construction of largo reservoirs by the Government, ns such work l beyond the scope of private enterprise, but where Individual or co-operative effort may utilize the streams that settlers should hnvo tho protection of nn interpretation of wnter rights that would give them combined ownership of land nnd water. Thc unsettled legal status ot this question, he claims, opcratcfj against Irrigation Interests through out tho west. ' HriiKKl! I'luht fiorerniitPiil, CHAMRERLAIN. S. D., Feb. 18 (Spe cial.)
