Number 183 for 1 share to WH Clanton. Dateline Billings July 7, 1893. Signed by president ID O'Donnell and Alex Graham. The central figure in the Yellowstone’s search to build an irrigated empire, and a central figure in the history of the irrigation in the U. S. Reclamation Service, is I. D. O’Donnell of Billings, the service’s first Supervisor of Irrigation. The Billings Gazette Illustrated Edition of July 1894 approvingly commented that O’Donnell “enlists science to his aid in farming, irrigation and stock ranching, with the best results.” Also in 1892, O’Donnell founded the Yellowstone Fair Association, where he began an annual ritual of promoting irrigation, scientific agriculture, and the cultivation of alfalfa and sugar beets, which he had successfully cultivated at Hesper Farm.
