MAMMOTH PROJECT.
Oregon Short Line to Reclaim Desert
and Build Cities.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 22.-The Oregon
Short Line is about to back a mammoth
irrigation and town building project in
Idaho, as well as undertaking the hSild-
ing of a railroad into the Thunder
Mountain region. The irrigation scheme
will be carried into execution at Twin
Falls, where the waters of the Snake
river are to be taken on to prairie land
that rivals in richness the valley of the
Nile. It contemplates the reclamation
of 100000 acres, in the center of which
city is to be built and from which a
branch is to run from the Short Line
road, probably from Shoshone. A vast
motive power project is also in contem-
plation-
Work is to begin within sixty days.
