Beaverhead Water Project Aims to Harness Bedrock River
A Dillon group led by prominent Beaverhead figures forms a company to dam the Bedrock River near Lima Montana. They plan a 50 foot dam creating a 50 000 acre irrigation lake, with shares allotted by water rights to old and new landowners, to prevent water loss and raise land value. A Lima Opera House meeting authorized initial dam work and two ranches were purchased for the project.
