Quincy project gets boost from Cong La Follette
A telegram from Congressman William La Follette reports Interior Department extension of time to settlers on the Quincy irrigation project to January 1, 1915. The move allows demonstration of feasibility for irrigating 400 000 to 500 000 acres while 18 555 acres essential to construction are withdrawn from entry. The delay follows Governor Lister's veto of funds for the project.
