In compliance with8 this'law all water users in Bi^ Horn County are being requested to supply in- , ,B formation regarding their use of water, whether or not they are under a ditchI company, Indian service projects, have land adjudicated, such as the Powers Caso3 1• or have a private water right and d-ivarsi.cn system, tie are, therefore, asking 1I you to help us by answering the questions on the enclosed form, which pert&ins ID to the land shown thereon. 8

H The adjoining states have already compiled records of their water use .... '• ' •I in this basin for the protection of their water rights.

acras under o:dsting facilities in Big Horn County. •

We in Montana must be vigilant anc do everything possible to protect mthe rights we have, 'i'hese righta havo been challenged by interests outside thti |lStats of Mont;ana, particularly the navigation interests of down-otraam states, Hand .ilso the vrater users in the neighborijng states through which our interstate n3tre{ims flow. In order to protect our water rights we must have a record of Kthem and of their present uses. We feel tha1; the only way we can obtain this B

1 In order that we in Montana will be able tc present facts as to the i 1H amount of land we are now irrigating, protect our water rights, and keep IH Montana water in Montana, the Montana State Legislature enacted a law (Sec. ; II 349.6? Montana Session Laws) requiring the State*. Engineer to investigate and \ II prepare a complete record of all water rights in the state, in compliance with : 11 this law all water users in Pig Horn County are being requested to supply in- ! In formation regarding their use of water, whether or not they are under a ditch iI company, Indian service projects, have land adjudicated, such as the Powers j iI Case, or have a private water right and diversion system. We are., therefore, , j I1 asking you to help us by answering the question's on the enclosed form, which I II pertains to the land shown thereon. « I •

I The adjoining states have already compiled records of their water use j II in this basin for the protection of their wat«r rights. It is, therefore, < II necessary that we do the same in Montana. We have completed our survey in ! HI Yellowstone, Carbon and Stillwater counties, and have had 100$ cooperation from ' MI all of the water users in these counties. I am certain that -we can expect the •I same support in Big Horn County. In the three counties where we have completed fliI our survey we have found that there are 2 3 9 , 3 9 5 . 8 0 ..acres being irrigated, with , j HI a potential acreage under existing .facilities1 o f 60j72/+..6l ac res . In time to : JfiI come these potential acres will be i w i g a t e d , and we must p l a n now to have \ MI wa te r available for tiiese acres w h e n they are ready to be irrigated and put : ; 9I into cultivation. $e feel sure that we will find this same percentage of irri- ; I• gable acres under existing facilities in Big Horn County , ; «

• W e in Montana mus t be vigilant and do everything possible to protect II the rights w e h a v e .

H Lincoln kealty Co.I c/o H. Gregory| Security Bidg. :fl Billings, MontanaI• Dear M r . GregorysII K e f : Irrigated land and water rights •B in Bify Horn County B

• In order that we in Montana will be able to present facts as to the \ 8I amount of land we are now irrigating, protect our water rights, and keep 8I Montana water in M o n t a n a , the Montana State Legislature enacted a law (Sec, BI 3 4 9 . 6 8 Montana Session Laws) requiring the State Engineer to investigate and flI prepare a complete record of all water rights in the state. In compliance with 8I this law all water users in Big Horn County ars being requested to supply i n - fln formation regarding their use bf "water, whether or not t hey are undesr a ditch fl& company , Indian service projects, have land adjudicated, such as the Powers • ] BV C a s e , o r have a private water ri&ht and diversion system. W e a r e , therefore, HI asking y o u to help u s by answering the questions on the enclosed form, which 8I pertains to the land shown thereon. 8

5 Tho adjoining status have already compiled records of their water use i HI in this basin for the protection of their water r ights . It i s , therefore, x flB necessary that we do the same in Montana. We have completed our survey in '•.'••• flI Yellowstone, Carbon and Still water counties, and have had 100$ cooperation from i flI all of the water users in these counties. I am certain that we can expect the •[ flI same support in Big Horn County. In the three counties whs re we have completed flI our survey we have found that there are 239,395.30 acre3 being irrigated, with . flI a potential acreage under existing facilities of 60,724.61 acres. In time to flI come these potential acres will be irrigated, and we must plan now to have H1 water available for these acres when they are ready to be irrigated and put . fl1 into cultivation. We feel sure that we will find this same percentage of irri- HI gable acres under existing facilities in Big Horn County. . fl

I We in Montana must be vigilant and.do everything possible to protect flI the rights we have. These rights have been challenged by interests outside the , HI State of Montana, particularly the navigation interests of dom-stream states, flI and also the water users in the neighboring states through which our interstate , flI streams flow, in order to protect our water rights wa must have a record of ' I• them and of their present uses. We feel that the only way we can obtain this , fl

H information accurately is from the water users, or the nan that is on the land,, • !M We have been working for the past seven months in Big Horn County checking farm IH by farm. The results of this survey are showi on the map on the enclosed form. fln In order to have a further check, we want jjrou to verify our classification: of 99 the land you irrigate. If there is any information that we have compiled on B• this form which is not correct, we would like to have you change it. We also SB are depending on you to fill in the questions on this form and mail it to us in 9B the seif-addreased envelope at your earliest possible convenience. 9

• In order to facilitate this work a branch office of the State Engineer 9• has been established in Billings and is located in the Roosevelt School Building 9I on Twenty-third Street and Fourth Avenue North. If there is anything that is not 9H clear, we would appreciate your calling on us, uj

I Very truly yours, 9

• Hardin, Montana 8

fl Dear Mr. Olonick: 8

B Reft Irrigated land and water rights flfl in B±g Horn County flB In order that we in Montana will be able to present Tacts as to the IB amount of land we are now irrigating, protect our water rights, and keep IB Montana water in Montana, the Montana State Legislature enacted a law (Sec. flB .349*68 Montana Sesision Laws) requiring the Sta^e Engineer to investigate and I• prepare a complete record of all water right- i;i the state, In compliance with S• this law all water usars in Big Horn bounty are being requested to supply in- IH formation regarding their use of "•water, whether or not they are under a ditch , flH company, Indian Burvice projects, have land adjudicated, auch as th'ii Powers flfl Case, or have a private water right and diversion system. We are, therefore, flj• asking you to help us by ansv/ering tha questions on the enclosed form, vrtiich flB pertains to the lfind shown thereon. I

fl The adjoining states have already compiled records of their water use Hra in this basin for the protection of their water rights, t is, therefore, •K necessary that we do the same in Montana. We have completed our survey in HB Yellowstone, Carbon and Stillwater counties,, and have had 100^ cooperation from IB all of the water users in these counties, 1 am certain that we can expect the flB same support in Big Horn tiounty* In the three counties where we have completed Bfl our survey we have found that there ars 239,395.80 acres being irrigated * with flB a potential acreage under existing facilities, of 60,724.61 acred* In time to BB come these potential acres will be irrigated, and we must plan now to have water flB available for these acres when they ar« randy to ba irrigated and put into flH cultivation, We feel sure that we will find this same percentage of irritable fl• acres under existing facilities in Big Horn County. B

• We in Montana muat be vigilant and do everything possible to protect flI the rights we have. These rights have b«sen challenged by interests outside the flI State of Montana, particularly the navigation interests of down-stream states, flH and also the water users in the neighboring u tates through which our interstate fl• streams flow, in order to pit>tect our water rights we raust have a record of fl• them and of their present uses. We feel that the only way we can obtain this • fl

\- "I• information accurately is from the water users, or the man that is on the land,. fl• We have been working for the past seven months in Big Horn County checking farm I• by .farm,. Tho results of this survey are efriown on the map on the- enclosed form. II In order to have a further check, we want you to verify our classification of flI the land you irrigate. If there is any information that we have compiled on flfl this form which is not ccrrectt we would like to have you change it. We also fl• are depending on you to fill in tha questions on this foxm and mail it to us In Ifl the self-addressed envelope at your earlieot possible convenience. flfl In order to facilitate this work a branch office of the State Engineer fl• has been established in Billings and is located in the Roosevelt School Building flB on Twenty-third Street and Fourth Avenue North, Xf there Is anything that is flfl not clear, we would appreciate your calling on us. flfl I• Very truly yours, •

I 1B Gerald J. Oravetss . •W Ass't State Engineer fiI 1M Encl. •B -P»S. These forms are the property of the State of Montana and must be returned. fl

a] .Dear Sirs: •'. | |H I•I ftefs Irrigated land and water rights Hwt ,____,. i^..^ifi'-,.^-Q^^-,^Q' y •IB In order that we in Montana will be able to present facts as to ijhe •vm amount of land we are now irrigating, protect our water rights,» and keep fljffl Montana water in Montana , the Montana State Legislature enacted a law (Sec . •H 349*68 Montana Session Laws) requiring the State Sngineer to investigate and IH prepare a complete reccrd of all water rights in the state. In compliance with mH this law all ivater users in Big Horn County are being requested to supply in*- HH formation regarding their use of water , whether or not they are under a ditch SBBj company, lndiar service projects, have land adjudicated, such is tl-e Powers finH Case , or have a private water right and diversion ay stem. We a.?©, therefore, atB asking you to help us by answering the questions on the enclosed form, which BB pertains to the land shown thereon. U

• The adjoining states have • already compiled records of their water use II• in this basin for the protection of their water rights, t is, therefore, ffiM neceaBAVy that we do the same in Montana. We have complsted our survey in IraI Xellowatone, Carbon and Stillwater countiea, »and have hai 100^ cooperation from | | |H a]JL of the water users in these counties. I am certain that we can encpeet the Ml• ssime support in Big Horn bounty. In the three counties where vra have completed §A• our survey we have found that there are 239^395*80 acres being irrigated^ with vaB a potential acreage under existing facilities of 6O,722v»6l acroa« In tinss to ISB come these potential acres will be irrigated, and we must plan now to have water miB available for these acres when they are ready .to be irrigated and put Into flB cultivation. We feel, sure that we will find this sams percentage of irrigable fm• acres .under existing facilities in Big Horn County,. . fS

• We in Montana must be vigilant and do everythung possible to protect ' ifl» the ri&'hbs we have. These rights have been'challenged by interests outside : ! SI the State of Montana, particularly the navigation .vnterests of down«atr«am statest ? IBB and also tha water users in the neighboring states through which our intfcrstate HB sbreanjiG flow. In. order to protect our water rights we must have a i«ecord of ; H
