visit in Denver, and brings back the
most welcome news that Idaho has

He said Ray told him that it was one
of the best districts he had ever ex-

Dewey mine was highly favorable, and
would result, he thought, in the camp
being opened up on an extensive
scale.
Mr.. Hunters financial associates

Yours very truly,
d. W. Ross, State Engineer.
The foregoing should certainly be
an incentive to act The Salt Lake
interview with photographer Newell
is very interesting and important and
is as follows;
Frederick w. Newell, chief hydro
grapher of the United States geolog-
ical survey, is Salt Lake visitor.
He is here on business, and it is bus
inessof great Importance to the people
of this state. Mr.. Newell is the chief
engineer of the reclamation survey.
1t will be under his direction and in
accordance with his advice that reser-
voirs will be built in the arid lands oi
the west.
According to Mr. Newell it rests
entirely with the people. as to wher
and where the work is to begin HI
says that the people who have con
h,cting rights In any stream or bod.
of water must get together; they mus
compromise their difference and b
ready to place the matter in the hand
of the general government, or til
government will be able to nothing
In explanation of this, Mr., Newe
cited the instance of a number c
people being settled along a strear
and having acquired rights in th
: waters of the stream. The govern
a ment engineers conclude that b

they refuse, the government can do
nothing.
And if the people persist in their
refusal, nothing at all will be done.
The government Mr.. Newell says, is
in no hurry and will not force this
matter upon the people, even If it.
must wait 10 or 20 years The first
work will be done where there is the
best outlook, whether it be in Utah,
Nevada or some other state. Where
the people are 80 prepared for the
work that the most land will be re-
claimed at the smallest expenditure.
there will the first be done. 1t is
business proposition, pure and simple.
In order to get government aid for
irrigating, Mr.. Newell recommends
that the people get together and ad-
just their differences. The govern
ment will not do this for them; it will
not settle any lawsuits or engage in
any litigation to force irrigation upon
the people. The people of COM
munity must do all the preliminary
work themselves, and when they have
definite proposition to submit, the
department will be glad to hear 1t.
The government engineers in the
field will investigate the proposition
and report and recommendation will
be made to the secretary of the in
terror through Charles T. Woicott,
director of the geological survey.
The report having been passed upon
by the department and meeting with
official approval, the money will be
appropriated and the work will be
! done.
, The money in the treasury availa-
J bic for irrigation work is now be-
, tween $4,000, 600 and Sc, 900, 900,
to be expended in prosecution Of the
| new irrigation law. The work is now
f self-sustainlng. The money that il
l expended in the construction of res
e ervoirs and the opening up to settle

settlers. In this way 1T ls expected
It to get funds to carry on the work in

II Ross to send corps OF engineer

1t is of the utmost Importance to
the commonwealth of Idaho that ma

which communication is had between
the two sections of our state by the

Before this road was opened mem

Then it was treason in north Idaho

policy of the Department in relation
to the work under the recent act Of
congress very clearly. The keynete
of the part which he desires the
people to take lie organization. Ger

water rights etc., exist in almost
every community This can only
be settled by the people themselves,
and in order to reach an understand

to bring about an agency through
which the government can deal with
the landowners, an organization of
those who will be the beneficiaries
of the interest taken by the Depart

In anticipation of the passage of
the act of congress under which these
operations will be conducted, the
various irrigation companies anc
organizations of the Boise valley
organized themselves into genera

in the work by raising small amour
