Utah Other Models at S22.30 History Of Price River Water Conservation District Courtesy Carbon Communicator. At Castle Gate the Price river emerge from the narrow defiles of Price Canyon. From there the valley gradually widen and is known as Castle Valiev. The Book Cliffs on the east and the Wasatch Mountain on the west shelter it from any harsh wind. This with a clear blue sky, an abundance of stiushine and a moderate tcuieruture make a delightful climate. Within this valley lies the fertile agricultural district of Carbon county. Farming was the motive of the early settler of Castle Valley. Small ranals watered the land immediately ail.jneent to Price river and it was found t produce in abundance. I .a ter larger cunul were built to irrigate the bench lands nnd now there are sixteen thousand acres under cultivation. The soil along Price river is of a dark aluvial nature, making it very fertile and especially adapted to truck gardening. Farmers have realized in one years a much a $1100 from a single, ere of this land. Tho bench land are of a clay loam ranging from six to thirty feet in depth. This soil is especially adapted for alfalfa, imtatocs, wheat and sugar beet. The average yield per acre of different rnijm are alfalfa, 4 tons; sugar beets, 15 tons; jHitatoes, 2T0 bushel, and wheat 40 bushel. Because of the ready market for the farm produre at the coal raiu lands have increased in value very rapidly, some living valued a high a $500 ner acre. The fanner have been unable to supply the demand of the mining town for garden produce. Every year there are many carloads of vegetables, fruit, flour, poultry and diary product sliipied into the county. Much of this enn be raised in ('arlsin county in the future. Several year ago a shortage of water for irrigation wu experieneed liernui-of the reclaming of new land. The Carbon County Conservation district was formed. A reservoir, known aa the Mammoth Reservoir" was constructed near the head of Price river. The same company built a diversion dura a few mile north of Price which diverted the water stored by the reservoir from the river to a canal which carried it to table land south of Price. The project wa until through a fault in the construction of the reservoir, it gave way, 4ra washed out and completely destroyed. Since then progressive citizen of the county have been devising means for the reclamation of the thousands of acres of fertile land that need only water to make it very productive. As a result of the research the Price River Water Conservation district was formed, covering 45,000 acres of irrigable land in the county. The district was bonded to the amount of $750,000 and plans made for the construction of a large reservoir to store water for the land. The site chosen for the reservoir is in Pleasant Valley near Scofield. The railroad lias lieen moved and work on the dam has lieen in progress for several months. It is estimated that the res e sue-ressf- ul ve to S39.73 ervoir will be completed by April 1st. The site for the reservoir is one of the best in the state. The construction is of the moat recent type. It answers the requirements of the state and will be entirely secure. It consists of a dam forty feet high extending to the canyon walls on each side of Fish Creek. A core of rock ninety feet wide at the bottom and forty at the top extends the entire length of the dam. During construction the soil is slushed between the rocks with water. Soil and rock is then filled in on the npier side of the dam to a width of seventy-fiv- e feet and on the lower side twenty-fiv- e feet To prevent the waves from washing away the dam a mason wall is being built on the upper side the full length of the dam. The dam when eompleted will be six hundred feet long, a hundred and ninety feet wide at the bottom and forty feet at the top. The water will form a lake of about five miles in length and nearly as wide, extending far up the streams that supply it. Plans are made to stock it with fish. Towering pines, stretches of green meadows and aspen groves which border the lake will make it one of the beauty spots of Utah and a rendezvous of the sportsmen. The watershed above the reservoir is amply sufficient to fill it It will of water. impound 60,000 acre-feThis; with existing water rightB, will be sufficient to water 45,000 acres of land in Carbon county. At the needed season the water will be released, allowed to run down Price river and diverted into canals over the thirsty soil The reservoir tinder the present canal KVstem will make a total of 3200 acres that can he put under immediate cultivation. Much of the land to he reclaimed comes under the Carbon County Conservation district canal which divert the water from the river at the diversion dam five miles north of Prire. This ranal has been put in firet class shnie. It carries the water to land south of Prise in the vicinity of Miller Creek and Wellington. With the extension of the Spring Glen canal water ean lie taken to (larks Valley, an area of almut 30,000 acres of the best land jn the state lying west of Sunnyside. Should it ever become necessary the Pleasant Valley reservoir ran he raised several feet higher supplying abundant water for ail the irrigable land in the county. There are at least 365 families living on farms in Carbon county. New land that will be brought under immediate cultivation will lily homes for nearly that many more.
