138 DAMS BUILT
By RECLAMATION
IN 35 YEAR SPAN
21 More Under Construc
tion Modern Projects
' More Complex, Larger
Than First Undertakings
By John C. Pnje
(0. 8. Reclamation CommlaMoner.,
WASHINGTON. Nor. 11. (AP) In
Ita 36 years. th reclamation bureau
has built 138 damj, great and small,
and at the prejtent time It has 31
additional dams under construction,
AH of these are parts of Irrigation
systems, but some serve other pur
poses as well.
There has been from the first i
trend toward more complex Irrlga
tlon works and larger dams of greater
overall usefulness. This la aeen to be
t natural development when It Is
understood that In 1903, when the
bureau was organized, there remain
ed some undeveloped areas, near riv
ers of large flow In the west, which
could be provided reliable water sup
piles with comparatively simple di
version works and small storage dema
More Complex Now.
Xt Is natural that the easiest and
cheapest projects should have been
built first. There are no opportun
ities now to build (he simple project
of 38 years ago.
The need for additional develop
ment by Irrigation has not decreased
with the disappearance of tho project
which was easy to build. As the went
(rows, the need for expansion of Its
Irrigated agricultural base increases
In direct proportion. The west Is
too attractive as a place in which
fo live for Its growth to stop short
of that time, which may be reached
In a few generations, when all of its
tcant waters are conserved and put
to their best use.
Consequently, there will continue
for many years to come need for
new federal reclamation projects.
This does not mean that all dams
now under construction by the bu
reau are large dams, nor that all of
the dams in the future must be large
dams. It means that an Increasing
number of the projects require large
dams. An increasing number of the
projects for which small dams will
serve will require difficult tunnels or
canals to get tho water to good lands.
Mony Proposed.
Today, there are literally hundreds
of Irrigation projects being proposed
i some small and some large. Every
western community In an area of
undeveloped land, apparently, la con
sidering methods of bringing Irriga
tion water to the lands. Some of
these proposals have rnerlt. Some of
them will be atudled by the bureau
and may find their places In our pro
gram within a few years. Others
Involve construction so difficult and
expensive that they must wait until
the growth of the west has caught
up with them.
One point not understood outside
the west, but perfectly obvious to,
the western people, is that all the
water will be used long before all the
western lands can be irrigated. I
have tslkpd with many people not

nest Must Irrigate.
If there were enough water to Irri
gate all these lands, of course, we
would not have to Irrigate any of
them, for the natural rainfall would
then have to be great enough to
produce crops. Because the rainfall
is so pitifully deficient, the west
must lrrlgiate; It must gather Its lit
tle treasure of water where It (lows
and spread it over a few acres to
make 1U farms. There la water
enough to Irrigate only about I3Gth
of the western lands when it all Is
stored, diverted and used. In all the
semi-arid and arid region there Is
sufficient water to Irrigate an area
only as large as Iowa when all is
used. Think of dividing Iowa and
fitting a dozen or more small pieces
Into big states like Montana. Colo
rado, New Mexico, Wyoming, etc., and
you have the picture of the ulti
mate Irrigation development west of
the 100th meridian.
As the need for larger dams to
control larger tributaries or entire
rivers has arisen, plans have come
to Include flood control, navigation
and hydro-electric power, as well as
Irrigation. The more purposes a dam
can serve, the greater the Increase
In the overall efficiency of the
project.
Power Plants Pay.
A long time ago the bureau built
the first of 33 comparatively small
power plants It has constructed. This
plant was built to provide power to !
operate drag lines at work digging
Irrigation canals. Its cost was fig- J
ured in as part of the cost of con
struction of the project. When the
project was completed, however, the
power plant was not abandoned. It
la still in use providing power to
lines serving the people who settled
the project lands.
Nevertheless, it was thus that the
bureau first entered tho field of pow
er generation. In addition to the
33 small power plants, the bureau
has constructed one very largo one.
that at Boulder Dam, and now has
three more large plants underway.
These are at Seminole Dam, on the
Kendrlck project In Wyoming: one
at Grand Coulee, In Washington, and
one at Shasta Dam, on the Central
Valley project in California.
Power plants can pay their own
way and thus reduce tho proportion
of the cost of the large dams which
must be charged to irrigation. In
addition, large Irrigation bams,
through addition of a power plant,
can be made to benefit the people
twice through provision of incidental
power at low rates to do a part of
their work for them.
So It Is that another aid to financ
ing the large dams now needed has
been found, and a means of pro
viding chenp power needed for high
er standards of living discovered at
the same time.

Circuit Judge Arlle G. Walker upheld

The creamery, paying one price for
all cream, challenged the constitu

1937 legislature.
