WANT THE LAKE LOWERED.
Idahoans Have Scheme for Reclaim.
ing $4,000 Acres Of Land.

AAsh SSfOSS SsSA ~ " SbssAs
A. A. Crane, the newly elected mem
Der Of the legislature Of Idaho from
Kootenai county, was'in the.city yester-
day for the purpose Of getting some
data as to the intention OF the United
States engineer corps in their report on
the raising or lowering.of Lake C1ur
d'Alene.
The settlers along the st. Joe. st.
Mary's iand::;CDur .d'Alene rivers, he
said, were anxious for the government
to lower the lake about three feet. This
wouldibesthe means of retaining about
5000 acres of gland. The actual value
of these lands at present is not more
than 81 per,acre. Mr.. Crane says If the
lake is lowered every acre of ground
viii be worth e;2, and fully 100000 in
taxable::.,property viii be added to the
county Of Kootenai.
For larger part of the gear these
lands are under water. 1t is beautiful
meadow country and the fines: hay
raising region in all Idaho. The water
is OF now only about two weeks ia the
year, but the finest OF swamp grasses
grow up like Jacks bean stalk in that
time, showing the soil wonderfully
adapted to hayipg purposes.
There are about 500 settlers along
these rivers" said Mr. Crane, "who will
petition Capt. Symons, Of tue engineer
corps. 10 report favorably On lowering
the lake. These people have heard that
the engineer will advise in his report
that the Spokane river be damned just
above Post Falls, SO as TO extend nayi.
cation 20 that point. II this Is done it
will not only not relieve those people
but will work q further damage. They
will, If necessary, sign petition asking
Capt. Symons. ii such is his idea, to visi!
the country along the banks Of these
rivers and see for himself what hard
ships such dam would infict on
them"
"Our idea" he said, sis to dig 30 foot
channel in the Spokane river down u
Post Falls. This Will be equally salts
factory to the people Of that town, and
