  • Obviously Real Wrecks Because-They Were Identified in the Process of Removal
    Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield obviously real wrecks because-they were identified in the process of removal. The Albany and Lessie are reliable because the information was derived from the U. S. Customs Service for the Port of New Orleans. However, it is surprising that the Lessie B, which caught fire 15 miles below Jefferson, is not mentioned in the Corps' annual reports concerning improvements to Cypress Bayou. Since project work was suspended in 1880 and did not resume until 1884, it appears that the wreck was quickly removed by its owners. If it had been in place in 1884, it would have been cited as a navigation hazard and removed as part of the ongoing work effort. Of the listed wrecks, it is probable that most were not part of the Jefferson trade, but rather were on the western route around the raft, which duplicated the Jefferson route through Soda Lake. This was definitely the case with the Cotton Plant, which was an upriver packet. The only vessels that definitely were going towards or away from Jefferson were the Albany (which was moving from Shreveport to Albany), the Lessie B. (which was moving from Jefferson to Shreveport), and the Mittie Stephens (which was moving from Shreveport to Jefferson). Whatever their destination, the distribution of these wrecks along the route west of Shreveport shows the relative difficulty in navigating various portions of the route to Jefferson. Contrary to popular conceptions, the portion of the route from the foot of Caddo Lake to Jefferson seems to have been extremely safe. Only two steamboats (Mittie Stephens and Lessie B.) were wrecked along this portion of the route, and both were by fire rather than by snags or other navigation hazards.

Dowd Executive Officer 1956 PREFACE The following history of the Imperial Irrigation District was prepared by Mr. M. J. Dowd, who served the District from 1922 until his death in 1965, as Consulting Engineer and Executive Officer to the Board of Directors. The history covers the early years of the District until 1940. It was Mr. Dowd’s intention to prepare additional chapters covering the All-American Canal project, power development, the Salton Sea, and the period from 1940 to date. It is unfortunate that he was unable to complete that work. Mr. Dowd’s original manuscript prepared in 1956 contained a bibliography, and reference list which were not completed and therefore, are not included here. They are filed in the Imperial Irrigation District’s Dowd Memorial Library located in El Centro. Mr. Dowd labeled this manuscript a “Preliminary Draft”, but no attempt has been made to make any changes other than minor editorial corrections. Richard N. Taylor, Director Community & Special Services PLEASE NOTE: In 2012, this document was scanned using optical character recognition software, and reformatted using modern type treatments on digital equipment.

"... Almost ail the verdure which delights his eyes is the gift of water at the hand of man , • • " — Vol. X of John L. Stoddard Lectures on Southern California 1898. The image of the desert has long been a hostile one. Early explorers found the Colorado Desert no exception. Undaunted early settlers and homesteaders brought the first changes to this concept, and water provided reclamation's magic, now apparent in the Coachella Valley. The coming of the railroad was an important factor in opening the desert to settlement. The homesteaders were intrepid, curious and determined, and they brought perseverance to bend the will of the desert to their own plans. The discovery of the great underground water resources by the railroad provided the first stimulus and a trickle of farmers. Additional farmers dug more wells, punched them deeper with hydraulic rigs, put electrically-powered engines to work and carried the flow of water to the thirsting, fertile land. Then came the Colorado River through a canal 123V2 miles long, convert­ ing hopes and dreams to realities, opening nearly 40,000 acres in less than two decades. Water, machines, men and money turned the desert green, from dunes and brush to farmlands and golf ocurses, from a land of silence to one of in­ dustry and homes, schools, churches and recreation.
