United States Sen ator Thomas C Carter, of Montana, chairman of to senate committee on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands, arrived to Denver this morning, several others of tba committee arriv ing later to the day. "There are projects now under way," said Senator Carter, "which call for the expenditure of between $40,000000 and $60,000,000 for enterprises which ought to be limbed to completion im mediately, to order to open dp bomes for the settlers and to provide for re plenishing of the reclamation fund. "It has been suggssted that govern ment bonds be issued to provide tbe capital necessary. My own idea is that warrants issued against the reclama tion fund would servo the purpose equally well. "There haa already been expended on the Pathfinder system in Wyoming 11, 000,000, but until the distributing sys tem is completed there will be no pay ments collected by tbe government. "Tbe Salt river project will require an expenditure of more than $8,000,- 000.
