Vast Columbia reclamation project eyed by Interior secretary
Secretary Hubert Work on a visit to Butte described an enormous reclamation plan for the Columbia river basin in Washington. The project could cost 200 to 380 million dollars and would cultivate over 1,000,000 acres if undertaken, with water power development also in view. He noted it would be the department’s largest such effort, far exceeding all other projects combined.
