An irrigation project which if
found prnctlcablo would multiply the
production of tho valley from North
Platte to Kearney, a hundred miles,
originated' with engineers In govern
ment employ. Briefly, it is to impound
tho waters of tho North Platte river
at a .point in Wyoming, saving the
flow nt times when tho -water now
goes to waste; to build an irrigation
canal on each side ot the river from
North Platto to Kearney, covering as
i much ground as tho lay of tho land
; will permit; to dam the draws and
j canyons along tho lino to mako small
er rcsorvoirs. Power planfts could

ufTIciont, and tho Impounded water"

' needed to work its wonders on the

i its natural channel. A suitable
