LLIOOOOTOMOIIIOIOI OSI MS, POOL OOODOOVOOOOOVE Riverton is elated over the action of Gov. Frank L, Houx in taking the 1cement of work on Wyoming’s argest irrigation enterprise, Wyoming Central project in Fremont county. The project contemplates the eventual reclamation of 250,00C acres of fertile land. ; The only remaining obstacle to the consummation of the work, author- ized by Secretary Lane during the course of the last month, concerned governor’s assurance that the te of Wyoming will transfer to} the United States Reclamation Ser- vice the water rights, segregation, | rights-of-way, reservoir sites and! other essential features. This has now been given and Governor Houx in turn received the assurance that ights of settlers on land tribu- to the project would be pro- 1 by the reclamation service and they will be provided ‘with that water from government ditches; An appropriation of $100,000 is} now available for commencement of work, but a more comprehensive pro- gram is to be outlined later involv- ing the expenditure of a much} greater sum. Then it will be that the dreams of settlers will come true} and Riverton, in common with other} towns of Fremont county, will pros- per from the development and the g of thousands of acres of fer- and under water. The lands lie within the teded por- tion of the Wind River Indian reser- vation. The project was first under- taken a decade ago, when the state of Wyoming granted the essential water-rights, reservoir sites, etc., to the Wyoming Central Irrigation com- pany, a corporation headed by Joy Morton of Chicago. The Morton con- cern did a little work, but proved un- able to carry out the main project. By virtue of the rights which had} been granted to it, however, it man-} aged to retain control of the project} for a number of years. In the mean-| time settlers who had taken up claims} under the project, early provision of water in accord- ance with the terms of the contract with the Wyoming Central company, in many instances “‘starved out,’”’ los- ing their entire resources, Other set- tlers managed to weather-the--long period of hardship and discourage-| ment and obtained patent to their: claims. It is the rights of these set- tlers which shall be recognized and protected by the federal government. Eventually the grip of Morton and his associates on the essential water- rights, reservoirs, etc., was broken and these properties passed to the te of Wyoming. On seyeral occa- sions since there-has been much talk of financing thé carrying out of the project, but all plans came to naught|in the Wood building. and it was not until the United States government became interested that there was assurance that one of the most important development enter- prises ever projected in the state would be carried out. Now it is cer- tain that the government, having once undertaken the work, will carry it thru and that in Fremont county, tributary to the town of Riverton, will be reeated one of the finest farm- ing districts of the entire west. the | fact “that it can be used where many began July 22 at the rate of 200 per| day. ‘The principal reasons for the, Wrestling promoters of Casper are} | wide use of the Ford is the ease of so enthused with the ability of Marin |repairing, cheapness of operation, | Plestina, ¢laimant 11 step necessary to the com-|large production possibilities and the | of the w rhd’s! extremely low initial cost and the! ering :tine, (that. they. are ready |to offer a purse of $2,000 for a fin-| ’ ish match between him and Earl C other (passenger, cars; can not. liaceNeuprulalsack of Ge Gitcl 2 | J.'C.
