Reclamation Work Planned Across Four Northwestern States
Uncle Sam will spend 2,250,000 on Montana reclamation projects as part of about 11,000,000 for the four northwestern states in 1913-1914. The Milk river and related canals aim to reclaim 100,000 acres near Malta and Glasgow. Washington’s Keechelus and Yakima valley storage projects proceed. Oregon advances the Umatilla extension and Tule lake drainage. Idaho’s Boise project in Boise valley is the largest, with Arrow Rock dam funded for 3,000,000 under the current apportionment.
