Railway engineers foresaw the great possibilities of planned, gigantic irrigation. The railway had land for sale; it provided transportation to far-off markets and it was extremely energetic in promotion, not only throughout the Middlewest and East but also in Europe. The waves of emigrants sought gold but mostly found land to their liking. Those who settled required irrigation. Much later scientific engineering was necessary to reclaim land which had first been passed by because it lacked water."No Known Copyright The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
