FOR IRRIGATION “ANPARK COUNTY Great Reclamation Project Likely to Be Carried to Completion as Result of Secretary Payne's Approval _ John Barton Payne, secretary of the interior, will ask for $12,000,000 for the reclamation of 160,000 acres of land, half of which is in Park county, Wyo., as the first step in the development of the agricultural possibilities, a resuit of the visit to the Shoshone project two weeks ago, “The work accomplished under the reelamation service on the Shoshone project is tru‘y wonderful,” said Sec- retary Payne, on his return to Wash- ington, “and confirms the most scep- tical of ‘the results which are possible. ‘They have made the highest dam in the world in the Shoshone canyon, above Cody, and impounded the water of the two forks of the river making a huge reservoir six miles wide and ten miles long. This body of. water will irrigate 226,000 acres of land.” With the serious engineering prob- lema of obtaining sufficient water sup- ply, solved, the further development of the Shoshone project was presented in a most favorable light to the secre- tary of the interior and those who are close to the department indicate most hopeful results for favorable action on this project. While it is true that there are scores Of projects now await- ing the provision of money by congress, it is pointed out that the success which has been obtained here under the Shos- hone project, together with the possible production of large irrigated ‘areas at low cost will lead the department to de- ‘cide in favor of making the appropria- tion for the Shoshone project. Secretary Payne pointed out the in- tense demand for land on the part of ex-service men ‘when he said “there never was a time in our histéry, when the hunger for land was greater than at the present time,” ‘In the early part of this year we had proof of this demand when we announc- ed that there wonld be a land opening on the North Platte: project, contain- ing eighty farm units and as soon as this order was made public thousands of letters, telegrams and telephone in- quiries nearly swamped the office. After the. opening was advertised, a change was made giving preference rights to soldiers and so the number of ‘applications increased until we had to revert to the system of drawing In order to be fair to the crowd that wait- ed in line for three weeks, many of _ them sleeping where they stood. “There were 3,292 applications re- ceived by mail and there were 10,000 letters of inquiry received and answer- ed, There were over two thousand men who came to Wyoming, ex-seryice men 700, who had been warned by the interior department that the chances of one name in forty having the luck to draw a homestead tract would sug- gest a risk. “The department's advice was un- + s FORK H.
