Washington, D. C. Dec. 5.—"f'fee
v president has put the final touches to
his message to be presented to the
.long session of congress, which begins
Monday. Advance copies of the doc
ument have been given to the press
and as usual the strictest precautions
have been taken to prevent its becom
ing public before its presentation to
the national legislative- body. In pre
paring the message the president con
sulted a number of senators and repre
sentatives and among the leading
•w .V members«of both houses the chief fea
t- tures of the message are already pret
fer: ty well known.
It is stated on good authority that
/the message will be the shortest the
president has ever written to a regular
session. It is about one-third shorter
than the message of last year, which
was considerably shorter than the first
1
message, two years ago. The docu
V, ment will contain fewer words than
any message of the presidents in a
number of years.
Vji,v The message will discuss carefully
the isthmian canal complications and

It
may be said with full
authority.that North Dakota will accom

syrw
delegation is the outgrowth of the Bis
marck irrigation congress, and it will
consult, while here, with officials of the
reclamation service with a view to as
certain what, if anything, can be done
to widen the plans of the service so far
as work in North Dakota is con
cerned.
The engineers of the geological sur
vey are thoroughly familiar with con
ditions in all the irrigation states, and
their numerous reports, covering a
dozen years or more, have led to the
conclusion that there are no projects
of importance in North Dakota and
that to undertake to expend any large
sum there would be grossly extrava
gant and contrary to the spirit of the
reclamation act, yjhich regards the
country as a whole, independently of
state jines.. In order to be entirely
ccrtain of its ground, however, the
reclamation service proposes to con
tinue its investigations in the state by
way of supplementing those made in
previous years, and to give the state the
benefit of every doubt.
The topography of North Dakota
renders that state an unfavorable field
for irrigation projects as compared
with those states which have mounttains
and valleys and deep streams. A wide
belt, running through the state from
north to south, just east of the Mis
souri river, is part of a belt which ex
tends from the Canadian line to Texas
which irrigation has always been a
failure, owing to occasional seasons of
rainfall, during which irrigation ditches
are neglected-, and permitted to, deter
iorate. Farmers, during rainy seasons,
cannot be induced to keep their irriga
tion systems in repair. There is no ex
ception to this statement. Irrigation
in India Jias been more or less a failure
for scores of years because of this very
condition and the facts, just staged,
growing out of it.
$2,225,000,
for the es­
tablishment of reservoirs, etc., in Mon
tana, and the claim is made that such a
programme would be of decidedly more
benefit to North Dakota than the ex
penditure of a like sum within its own
borders. As explained to me. by an
official of the reclamation service, the de
velopment' of irrigation works in Mon
tana would greatly enhance the stock
raising industry of western North Da
kota. by providing winter feed for cattle.
In the cold season cattle could be driven
into corrals, and there fed on alfalfa,
grown on the Montana irrigated fields,
thus preventing the heavy death loss oc
curring each severe winter. Montana
fields would be very near the North
Dakota ranges, and those ranges wquld
increase in value, and everybody con
cerned would prosper. This arrange
ment, in addition to being more profit
able for North Dakota, would make
the government funds go farther. So,
in the interest of economy, the reclama
tion service thinks that the plan to ex
nend in Montana a large portion of the
funds raised in North Dakota would
be highly desirable.
Last summer engineers from the
reclamation service made extensive in
vestigations of North Dakota streams.
They examined carefully the Missouri,
the Little Missouri, the Knife, the
Heart, the Cannon ball and other streams
with reference to rainfall, declivity,
quantity of water, etc., and their reports
will soon be available. I shall take

town is abso-
lMtely toSe itottt th* Sporting element
5- K
up each of these streams separately, sor
as tn give an intelligent idea of the sit-•
uation as the reclamation service under
stands it. 'h
To begin with, every reservoir and/
ditch project intended for the irriga
tion of North Dakota soil must be£'
constructed or begun, in Montana.
The fall of the land is so gradual as|.
to prohibit any undertakings of this''1
character within the state.
The most desirable North Dakota*
project, and the one which the reclam-|
ation service hopes to develop, is located
near the junction of the Missouri andx
the Yellowstone, in the- old Fort Bu-/
ford military reservation. Here are per-j?
haps
20,000
acres of good soil which-
could be irrigated successfully, the dam
to be built in Montana.
So far as the Missouri River is con
cerned elsewhere in the state, the only
possible way to make it available for
irrigation would be by pumps, and the^
cost of this work makes it prohibitive.:
There are, however, small tracts of
ground along the river which could be
supplied with water, but they are
small and add no weight in favor of
any general plan.
The Little Missouri has some flood
water, but not a great deal. Its banks
and bed do not offer opportunities for
reservoirs or dam sites, and work of
that character undertaken there would
be far in excess of the benefits to be
derived.
The Knife, Heart and Cannonball
rivers show the same condition. The
flow of water in each is very small,
and they do not cover any irrigation
project which the reclamation service
thinks should be profitably under
taken.
Father cast, of course, there is.
water in abundance in the James river,
but that territory is in the semi-humid'
region referred to Above and the reckon
ation officers are Confident that works
constructed there would be permitted to
go to decay in seasons of sufficient rain
falJ.
So, with the stream measurements,
the amc?unt of water available, reser
voir and dam sites and the level
character of the country against the
proposition, the feeling here is that
no large irrigation work ought to be
undertaken in North Dakota. But
the government engineers are disposed
to continue their investigations, and
to give the state the benefit of every
reasonable doubt. Numerous small
projects can be developed there, but
these, as the matter is understood here,
are not what the state wants.
It is argued by the engineers that the
development of reservoirs, etc., in Mon
tana, alfalfa grown there to be eaten by v
cattle 011 the North Dakota ranges,
would be of more direct advantage to
the northwest generally, and especially
to the twin cities, than the expenditure
of /large sums in North Dakota.
Practically all of the country between
the reservoirs and the James River
would increase in value, the state would
invite settlers, the purchasing power of
its citizens would increase, and vast
stretches in the western counties, now
^nly partially remunerative, would com
mand a god price. All of this would
benefit the twin cities, the trading cen
ters of that section. To expend the
same stuns in North Dakota, on the
other hand, would accomplish a very
small portion of the good just alluderj
to, and to that extent decrease the pur
chasing power of the people.
The North Dakota members and sen
ators have repeatedly conferred with
officials of the reclamation service, and
always with the same result. I may
say, also, that the reclamation service
is unanimously opposed to the MicCum
ber bill, which proposes to have expend
ed within each state the sums raised fof
irrigation purposes in that state.
