Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unfriendly Attitude of the United States Government Towards the Yuma Valley, Arizona: Containing Correspondence With Government and Reclamation Officials, Statements of Representative Settlers; Affidavits of Settlers and Business Men; Letter From President of Imperial Water Co; No; 1. Severe Criticisms of the Reclamation Officials B The treatment of the settlers of the Yuma Valley by the officials of the United States Reclamation Service in charge of the Laguna Dam Project, has been so unbusiness like and so unfair, and in such utter disregard of individual rights, that it has attracted the attention of the entire Pacific Coast. A presentation of the case to the public has become an absolute necessity, and an emphatic protest regarding such treatment to the authorities at Washington by the irrigation interests of the country at large seems to be the only way by which the evils complained of can be remedied. The Reclamation officials are appointed by those higher in authority and it is but natural that the heads of departments should place confidence in their subordinates and therefore it requires a very strong case, backed by undoubted proofs and endorsed by an array of influential public sentiment that is overwhelming before the official ear of those high in authority can be reached. A brief resume of the situation here given will show clearly just what has been done and this will be followed by statements, correspondence and affidavits which will be ample proof of the situation as herein outlined. The following summary of the case will give a clear statement of the facts: First: The Reclamation Service soon after its organization in 1902 began an investigation to ascertain what could be done to utilize the waters of the Colorado River for irrigation purposes. Second: They discovered that all the natural flow of the river had been appropriated by the California Development Company and the Irrigation Land and Improvement Company, and much of it had already been diverted and used for a beneficial purpose by the Imperial Canal system in California and the Ludy Canal System in Arizona. Third: That there was an abundance of flood water during the summer months that could be stored in reservoirs if suitable reservoir sites could be found and utilized; and thus all the flow of the Colorado River could be saved and devoted to a beneficial use. This is shown by the report of Arthur P. Davis, who made the investigation and reported to his superiors, which report was published. Fourth: Sites were selected for four large reservoirs, - the lower one of which would be formed by building a dam one hundred feet high on the site where the Laguna Dam is now being constructed. This reservoir would be from one to ten miles wide and would extend up the river about one hundred miles. Fifth: - It was found on further examination that there was no bed rock available at the sites of either one of the four proposed dams on which to make a foundation, and this plan had to be abandoned although it was one of great magnitude contemplating the expenditure in time of $22,000,000. Sixth: Up to this point the legality of the filing made by the California Development Company or the Irrigation Land and Improvement Company had not been called in question, for the Reclamation Service had filed on 4,000,000 inches of the flood waters of the River, making the filings under the same laws on which prior filings had been based. Seventh: It now became evident to Reclamation Service officials that one or both of the companies named must be deprived of its rights and be financially ruined or the Reclamation Service must retire from the Colorado River. Eighth: The easy, if unscrupulous, way to accomplish this result was to deny them the right to use the water, injure their credit and then take away from them their customers, so that the Reclamation Service could h.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the arid American West, settlement was generally contingent on the availability of water to irrigate crops and maintain livestock and human residents. Early irrigation projects were usually the cooperative efforts of pioneer farmers, but by the early twentieth century they largely reflected federal intentions to create new farms out of the western public domain. The Yuma Reclamation Project, authorized in 1904, was one of the earliest federal irrigation projects initiated in the western United States and the first authorized on the Colorado River. Its story exemplifies the range of difficulties associated with settling the nation’s final frontier—the remaining irrigable lands in the arid West, including Indian lands—and illuminates some of the current issues and conflicts concerning the Colorado River. Author Robert Sauder’s detailed, meticulously researched examination of the Yuma Project illustrates the complex multiplicity of problems and challenges associated with the federal government’s attempt to facilitate homesteading in the arid West. He examines the history of settlement along the lower Colorado River from earliest times, including the farming of the local Quechan people and the impact of Spanish colonization, and he reviews the engineering problems that had to be resolved before an industrial irrigation scheme could be accomplished. The study also sheds light on myriad unanticipated environmental, economic, and social challenges that the government had to confront in bringing arid lands under irrigation, including the impact on the Native American population of the region.The Yuma Reclamation Project is an original and significant contribution to our understanding of federal reclamation endeavors in the West. It provides new and fascinating information about the history of the Yuma Valley and, as a case study of irrigation policy, it offers compelling insights into the history and consequences of water manipulation in the arid West.

Download or read book California Dreaming written by Ronald A. Wells and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California matters, both as a place and as an idea. What famed historian Kevin Starr has called “the California Dream” is a vital part of American self-understanding. Just as America was meant to be a place of renewal, even redemption, for Europe, so too California was intended as a place of renewal for America. Therefore, California—place and idea—provides a fertile ground for scholars to think deeply about what it means to articulate “the promise of American life.” This book follows in the train of George Marsden’s classic The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship—believing that people of faith have a contribution to make to scholarship—and of Jay Green’s more recent book, Christian Historiography: Five Rival Views—believing that scholars of faith should engage in moral inquiry. In this book, eight authors inquire into the moral questions that emerge from studying California.
