Conconully August 1. Superintendent Jesse Smoot of the government reclamation service started work on the Okanogan irrigation project. The plan calls for rebuilding the river outlet to Conconully Lake in stone and concrete at a cost of 500000. Water from the new reservoir will serve Pogue prairie contracts next year and accommodate expanded acreage. Bids were opened for the reservoir and main canal work, with results likely in a few days. Dam construction bids from the Portland office are due September 1. Labor shortages may force government supervision by Smoot with local help.
