Western Triumphs by the Carey Act
Spokane, June 5. R Insinger, chairman of the Board of Control, urges attention to the National Irrigation congress to be held in Spokane August 9-14. He notes the 1902 reclamation act, claims progress toward reclaiming 2,000,000 acres by 1911 at a $70,000,000 cost, and cites 40,000,000 acres eligible for irrigation.
