USDS KEELED TO FETISH PLA2JS Settler la the Meaatlsse fss Get St Water Director Jewell Sug gests Method of Co-o aeration. j (From a Staff Correspondent) I WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 (Special Tele i gram ) The Irrigation project now under j pror-ess cf construction In western Ne I braska and eastern Wyoming Is causing both projector and beneficiaries consid erable inconvenience, one because they cannot complete it at once and the other because they cannot have water turned on their lands at once. The farmer liv ing in the proposed Irrigated area are urging upon Director Newell the necessity for early completion Senator Burkett ha taken the matter up ml;h Mr. Newell, and at a recnt eon- ferenr between the two the situation was pretty thoroughly canvassed. According to Mr. Newell. !t Is Impossi ble to set an exact day upon which the completion of the work may be expected, depending as it does upon the rapidity with which funds may be provided. The fact that homesteaders along the uncom pleted portion of the work are growing discouraged Is one of the features that wss anticipated when the work was be-g-an. It was then even tifged hat the land should be withdrawn from entry, since it could not be foretold upon what portions water could be diverted. This waa done, it Is said. In one or two cases elsewhere, with gratifying resuita. In the North Platte country the land was never withdrawn from entry, and the result ha been. o the director sta'es. that those settling on lands not cow irrigateJ are suffering from arid or semi-arid con- " " " J Last spring a year ago Senator Burkett iufgrs'ira m co-ope rm i iv? pi an. wnrrrpy the settlers could construct, under f roper directions, their own laterals and reole credit for this work in proing vp on their lands. The director stated that this plan not ten universally adopted by settlers in the district now suffering as he had hoped and that it was a source of greet regret to him. It was made clear also that in a work of a fxeat magnitude as this enterprise plans must necessarily be made which could not at once be executed, for funds must be provided. Private capital tried all the easy schemes for Irrigation, and when the government took hold cf the matter it is said it was with a knowledge that little could be accomplished with out large expenditure. In western Ne braska there were storage work and canals, la.-ge and expensive, to be com pleted before the laterals could convey water; yet the plan must be made pub lic, and settlement followed upon lands that could not be irrigated for a long time. iK-iuLiT zxjrani nrnea inai n is in-, tended to continue work on the storage dam of the North Platte project under a contract which must be Ynlshtd o-n. Wifi co-operation cn the part of the settlers the distribution system will be carried a far j as available funds will permit after the 'completion of the head works of the diver-, ' sion canal, s.ase C.erle. Aa.wered. Director Newell mentioned certain inqul-i -W rl., about the project that were often re- :vfrd. Fjr. ,fcy npt buld the 0 Mribu. , tJon ryftrm fit an1 Ul fh th- more expensive structures? This Is answered that if the water failed the work of building- the distribution system would thjs be mere is biso canger oi losing con- i.vi vi me aa.ii unuer u:n conaiiiori.
