Eminent Domain and Irrigation Debate Governs Reclamation
The article discusses two major hurdles to Roosevelt's irrigation plan: landholdings not breaking into 160 acre parcels and vested water rights. It contrasts private landowner gains with public aims and cites precedent for eminent domain to advance the project. It also reports on F. C. Schubert's Snake River hydrographic survey trip, its findings, and planned work toward navigability and canal operations.
