Excerpt from Annual Report on Irrigation Possibilities in Montana: By the Montana Irrigation Commission In presenting this report on the present development and future possibilities of irrigation in Montana, we ask the reader to bear in mind the financial conditions which have handicapped the Commission and the limited time in which to cover such a vast area. Personal visits were made to every county where interviews were arranged with officials and irrigators. The active cc-operation and interest shown in every locality were very gratifying indeed and the Commission takes this Opportunity of expressing its thanks and appreciation to all those who. Have so generously offered their time and assistance. A great deal of data was gathered on projects which have not been included under the write-up of the counties on account of the excessive volume it would make. Many unusual and interesting data were gathered on pumping schemes, artesian water, hot springs. Seepage, and so forth which could not be included. All such detailed informa tion, however, is filed in the office for future reference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
