IRRIGATION ADDS TO
WEALTH OF THE
WEST,
Washington, May 9. A graphic j
statement of the vast extent of'
tlie government’s irrigation pro-j
jects and the success that attends
their operation was made today
by C. ,T. IBanehard, statistician of
the reclamation service, who has
returned from a tour of inspcc
t ion.
“At the present time there are
twenty-eight projects in various
(ages of construction,” said
Blanchard. “The total acreage
involved in these projects is 3,
200,000 which will provide homes
for approximately 320,000 persons
on farms, and an equal number
:n cities, towns, and villages with
in this area or in the neighbor
hood thereof, or a total of 640,
000 people. The total area now
under water is 1,000,000 acres, on
which have been established ap
proximately 14,000 families and
an equal number live then up
their homes in the cities, towns
nd villigcs.
“The progress of the engineers
has been rapid, notwithstanding
the isolated location of the prin
cipal engineering works from
transportation of the work. Up
o the present time the canal
ystems constructed have a to
nl length of 5,621 miles. Many
f these canals carry whole riv
rs. l’laccd end to end they
,rould reach from New York city
0 San Francisco and back to
New Orleans. Tunnels having a
total length of sixteen miles have
been excavated, mostly through
mountains. The excavation of
rock and earth amount to the
1 normous total of 66,000,000 cubic
yards, or more than one-third of
the yardage required for the
Panama canal. Owing to the lo
cation of some of the principal
works in regions heretofore inac
cessible. the reclamation service
lias been compelled to construct
575 miles of wagon roads. The
service has in operation 1,508
miles of telephones, 275 miles of
transmission lines, and is furnish
ing power and light for munici
pal and manufacturing uses to
‘■even cities and towns from its
i wn power plants.
“The investment of the govern
ment in the projects now under
onstruetiou is $62,208,000. The
otal computed cost of these pro
of-ts when completed is $145,000,
'00. The allotment to cover the
vork during the fiscal year is
d0,000.000. This does not in
■lude the issue of $20,000,000 in
•ertifieates, which will he avail
il>ie when required.
“Using as a basis the present
value per acre of irrigated land
n the projects of the government
with siffieient water rgilit, it is
•onservative to state that the
otal value of all the lands tin
ier these projects when irrigated
v ill exceed $220,000,000. These
an Is are virtually mortgaged to
the government to repay the cost
of the irrigation system, which
is computed at $145,000,000.

dueed iu l'JlU on lauds which
wore suplicd by the government
irrigation systems approximated
$15,000,000. The value of the im
provements of the settlers, in
cluding buildings, fences, etc., is
$7,500,000. The value of live
stock is $2,400,000. The total
increase in the values including
lands, implements, buildings, live
stock, etc., as a result of provid
ing irrigation for these farms, is
not less than $00,000,000. Com
paring the former selling prices
of the other lands which are in- [
eluded in the government projects
but not yet irrigated, with the
prices at which they are now be
ing sold, an additional increase
m values of $.‘10,000,000 is shown
as a result of this development.
“There is no more hopeful sign
in connection with the home
building work of the government'
than tlie surprisingly large num
ber of settlers who have left
the cities and towns to take up
their homes in the desert. The
reports from the field are grati
t.ving for the reason that a very
small percentage of failures is
shown.
“Information from all sources
shows no diminution in the move
ment of the people to the west.
Railroads report that the travel
lias been above the average, with
it promise of great increase in
the fall.
“At present the government
i iinns are limited to five projects,
and includes only 366 farm units,
'flic field forces are pushing for
ward the work of extension of
canals in order to make ready
for settlers a large area of new
tilnds, some of which will prob
ably be opened in the fall.
“The question, ‘Can a mer
chant, mechanic, lawyer, doctor
or other professional man succeed
as a farmer in the west?’ lias
always been answered Given
good health, a small capital to
make a start, and a willingness to
work, and the answer in most
cases is ‘"tes. ’’
