North Park Reservoir May Be Built Soon
Rawlins Republican reports that a Platte river irrigation project may prompt a Wyoming state funded investigation. Telegrams from Senator Warren urged a $10,000 state share to match reclamation service costs, with the emergency bill route approved and $10,000 added to the emergency appropriation. The plan could irrigate the Platte valley south to Encampment, opening over 1,000,000 acres for farming and elevating the region as a farming center.
