Their common escutcheon bears

obituaries was appointed, together
with tab committee on the rest

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
why Government Assistance Is
Necessary.

Why Government Assistance Is
Necessary.
With something over seven mil
lion acres irrigated in the United
States, which include a number of
large irrigation systems and dams,
all built by private capital, says
the National Homemaker, the
question frequently arises why
cannot an additional seven million
acres or an additional twenty mil
lion acres of arid land be trans
formed by private capital into
productive irrigated farms? In
other words why should it be
necessary to ask any government
assistance for this development of
the west? 1t is admitted that
irrigation pays; that larger, better,
and surer crops can be raised un-
der 1t than by dependence upon
the elements. and that irrigated
communities are, as a rule very
prosperous ones. Nor can it be
said that any project is really too
large or requires too much capital
for private enterprise to undertake,
provided il offers IN assured profit
or certain income on the invest
ment. Why, then, will not the
arid states have a gradual. and
he ,lthy development through the
co ltinued establishment of irriga
ton systt ms and the building oi

Half way between Nampa and

Some advance the theory in re-
gard o the air issuing from the

nto an underground river, which
has between its surface and the
earth above, sufficient space to act
as a conductor from some air OPEN
ing at a distance. There is some
probability in this theory, as it is
founded on what is known to be
true, namely: That Idaho, espec-
tally the southern part, is pen
etrated 10y subterranean rivers aud
streams. whose channels have been
open at some time, when earth
uuakes had torn the earth in vari-
GUS directions, and volcanoes
brought into being deposited thel1
