Show BUSY EXPERT OF KECLAMATION SEEVICE. George A. Hammond, superintendent of drilling in the reclamation service, is in Salt Lake for a few days. His territory takes in all the arid region, and Is so ast that he has only opportunity oppor-tunity to visit each point two or three times a year. He is just now from the Red River district In Oklahoma, where a corps of men is engaged In prospecting prospect-ing for the Navajo reservoir. From here Mr. Hammond goes to Montana, where the Sun river project, with five big reservoirs, will claim his attention. Because of international complications, complica-tions, said Mr. Hammond, work on the Milk river project in Montana has been suspended. This would Irrigate 250,000 acres, but the Milk river, rising in Montana, Mon-tana, flows a short distance in Canada and thence back into Montana. |
