The story of the West Is large
ly the story of conservation. Early
. in the 19th century pioneers flock
ed into the West, as did the Span
, ish conquistadores more than four
r hundred years “agof seeking min
eral wealth.
In the middle of the 19th cent
ury, the lure was the vast graz
ing’ land available for huge herds
of cattle, and the cattle barons
flourished in the Southwest
But just as the Spanish conquist
adores settled down to become ran
eheros, and as the miners who
I joined the Gold Rush of 1849 stay
ed on to become honest trades
man and farmers, the cattle bar
ons found their choicest lands div
ided up by homesteaders.
But the West is too dry to supp
ort farms in the same way that
the frontiersmen had been able to
carve a living out of the wilder
ness areas of the great lands of
Ohio and Illinois and Kansas.
So the small farmer in the dry
West soon learned thaf he had to
depend on rivers, and like the In
dian tribes before him, he turned
to irrigation.
Water Supply Limited
The early comers took the lands
that were easily nourished by the
great rivers and their tributaries.
As population expanded with the
coming of the railroads through
the West, the amount of irrigable
and tillable land diminished.
There is only so much water av
ailable for irrigation without some
kind of dam to hold back the flood
water that rushes to the ocean;
and only so much land can be thus
made available to irrigation with
the smalt amount of money avail
able in the sparsely settled West.
But the growing population of the
West needed uaigated land to sup
port life. .

HELP FOR A PROUD PEOPLE One part alone of the Upper
Colorado River Storage Project, the Navajo Irrigation Project,
will provide grazing for as many sheep, on irrigated pasture, as
now are supported by the entire Navajo Reservation, an area
equal in size to the state of West Virginia. The proposed Navajo
Project will provide a way of life better than the bare subsistence

Irrigate successfully more than a
few thousand acres, scattered
through the entire West.
So the Federal government ent
ered the picture, and the Bureau
of Reclamation was formed in the
Department of Interior.
It had been the custom, almost
from the founding of the Republic,
for the Federal government to pro
vide the money with which to im
prove harbors, to make the rivers
more navigable ahd to safeguard
the people living along the rivers
from the ravages of floods.
This had been done in the pub
lic interest, since it was evident
that the entire nation benefited,
and the money was not required
to be paid back to the government.
Loans From Government
So it was natural that the big
irrigation projects were financed by
money advanced by the federal
government. Here, however, the
people who benefited from the im
provements paid back the original '
investment, although they did not '
pay interest on the money advanc-i
ed them It was evident that there j
was a great public benefit to the'
entire area from the great prosp
perity of the people living in it;
prosperous people pay more taxes
than do poor people.
Later the dams provided great
hyrdoelectric plants, and the part
of the project which was diverted
to producing electrical power not
only paid back the original invest
ment, but interest on the money
as well.
One of the great rivers of the
West which captured the imagin
ation of people in the early days
was the Colorado. It, with its trib
utaries, was then (and in many
places, still is) a wild unruly torr
ent for parts of the year, digging

zona to the Gulf of California.
At one time it overflowed its
banks near Yuma, in Arizona, and
stayed out of its channel for sev
eral years, forming the present Salt
on Sear which still three
decades later.
Lower River Tamed
The lower Colorado was tamed
with a vast concrete plug at Hoov
er Dam, and the subsequent Park
er and Davis dams. The All-Amer
ican and Coachella CanaL, two
huge aqueducts, one to Los Ange
les and the other to San Diego
gave full utilization to the lower
Colorado river.
The seven states along the Colo
rado river, Arizona, California, Col
orado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah
and Wyoming, agreed to a ’ distri
bution of the waters of the river
in 1922, dividing the flow at Lee's
Ferry on the Arizona-Utah line.
This Compact of 1922 was app
roved by Congress and still is in
effect.
Under terms of this compact, the
lower basin was tamed. Now the
Bureau of Reclamation, after years
of study and the expenditure of
$lO million in tests and surveys,
has developed a basin-wide plan
so that the four upper basin states
of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and
Wyoming may ‘use their allotment
of water, and at the same time
store the water they have guaran
teed the lower basin states. This
plan asks no money given by the
Federal government But it does
ask a loan of the necessary funds.
This plan comes up for approval
in the 84th Congress. Wher Japp
roved, it will mean that one of the
last great Reclamation projects is
under way, turning the arid lands
of the Colorado Basin into a true
paradise for millions of Americans.
