Memorials AND RESOLUTIONS.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION, No. 1.

Joint Resolution Memorializing the Congress of the United States to make a Survey from the St. Mary's River to Milk River in the State of Montana.

WHEREAS, The St. Mary's River is the outlet of St. Mary's Lake. the great natural reservoir of Northern Montana, and drains the same into the Saskatchewan, and as said river in one place approaches within two miles or thereabouts of the valley of the Milk River, and as said Milk River in turn flows for a distance of about three hundred miles through a wide and beautiful valley containing over twelve (12) million acres of public lands of the United States, of very fertile soil which could be greatly benefited by irrigation, and,

WHEREAS, Said Milk River which now often runs dry in seasons when most needed could be made by the diversion of the waters of the St. Mary's River into its channel a perpetual, constant, flowing stream of pure and wholesome water capable of meeting the needs of a large population, and of irrigating many millions of acres of land and of inestimable value otherwise, therefore, be it,

Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Montana; that we do hereby memorialize and petition the Congress of the United States to cause to be made a survey and an estimate of the cost of diverting the waters of said St. Mary's River, or so much thereof as may be required across the narrow neck of land into the channel of the Milk River.
