Irrigation Plan Promoted by Senators Seeks Westward Growth
The letter from William E. Curtiss discusses Secretary Wilson spending the summer on a personal irrigation survey of the West. It cites plans by engineers for a upper Missouri reservoir system to control floods and support westward settlement, with Chittenden proposing a long canal project to regulate the Missouri’s water for farming. Warren frames western farming as a national issue countering eastern competition.
