As an evidence of thejrrowing interest in western territory being shown by homo seekers, the report states that: "In the last 20 years there has been a great awakening to the opportunities which lie in the arid west fw the home maker, and a remarkable transformation has taken place in many parts of this region. The irrigation of today, through lessons of experience and observation of the results obtained by the pioneers, evinces a more ready adaptability to conditions. Great problems of water storage and diversion, involving features never before considered, are being worked out to practical solution." One of the features auxiliary to irrigation, the value of which is coming to be better understood and appreciated, is the possibility of utilizing the force of the water as a motive power and for the develop ment of electricity. Under that head it is stated : "The great dams which impound the floods once wasted furnish abundant electric power for all pur poses. Every available stream is now a potent factor for good. The flow of the canals turns wheels which life large quantities of water to fields above the line of gravity supply."
