works in the western states has
given a great impetus to every
industry in that section of the
country. The people Of the
eastern states are just beginning
to realize the opport unities Of
fered in the territory to be
opened up. AS the proposition
developes, a tide of immigration
will inevitably set in and this
region will become II of the
most populous and prosperous
in the country. With large areas
of reclaimable land and plenty
of available water, Idaho espec-
ially will be benefited by the
measure.
The actual work of surveying,
locating and constructing reSer-
vOirs and other irrigation works
will be done by the Geological
Survey. In oder to obtain a bet
ter understanding of the present
extent of irrigation, the location
of the areas irrigated, and to
gain other information useful in
this work, the Fifty seventh
congress authorized the director
Of the census to bring down to
date the irrigation statistics OBJ
tanned in 1900 by that office. Let

may receive so that the merits
of the various sections of the
country may become known. IT.
rigators who do not receive
blanks within a reasonable time
should notify the census Office at
Washington and they will be
supplied.
1t is interesting to note in
this connection how much it will
mean to the country at large to
have the arid lands of the West
reclaimed.
According to the census of 1900
the total improved farm area
of the United States was 414,-
800, 900 acres. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that the reclaim
able area is not less than 80, 900
900 acres. It's reclamation,
therefore, will add nearly one
eighth to the actual crop pro
ducing area of the country and
will exceed by a liberal margin
the tillable land of all the states
excepting New York. on the At
lantic coast from Maine to Flor
ida. Allowing 40 acres, the
average size of irrigated farms.
this area will make 1850, OO(
farms, or a little less than one
fourth the number in the United
States in 1900. The occupants
OF these farms will add directly
to the population $3.50, 600, and
indirectly, in the accompanying

featuring and industrial classes

increase in the population of the
United States of 9,375,O00, OF
nearly twelve and one-half pei

The total value of all the
farms IN 1900, including all i'm

was $13, 115, 000, 900. At $40. sc
per acre, the average value OF
irrigated land, the 1000, OOC

Now that Representative
Moore's Reform School Bill has
become a law, we believe it be-
hooves the citizens of St. An
thony to get together ard be in
readiness, at the proper time to
place before the powers that be,
sufficient reasons for locating
the school in that part of the
county where it will be for the
best interest for the school and
the greatest benefit to the county.
OF course the primary considera-
ton and we may say the sole con
sideration should be the welfare
of the school, that it may best
subserve the interests of the
state at large and most nearly
fulfill the purposes for which it
was created. Be it so. That is
just where ST. Anthony shines.
Let the school be located within
easy distance of St. Anthony,
the most enterprising, up-to-date
town in Idaho, to be an example
of energy; let it be located on
Snake river, the finest stream in
the world, as an example of pur-
lty, and the success of the inSti-
tuition will be assured. But it is
not likely that this institution
will be thrust upon us without
some effort on our part. We
must be prepared with an array
of facts to demonstrate that st.
Anthony is the proper location.
We know it's easy, but the point
we desire to make is, that it
must be done. All that is re-
quired is a united effort on the

THEY BELONG THERE.

The Boise Statesman says
parties are in Boise from Teton
Basin with a remonstrance
against the county division, and
they say if the county is diyided
they want to be cut off and made
a part of Fremont county. We
fail to see why they should be
opposed to the county division,
but can readily see why they
should desire to be annexed to
Fremont county. That section
belongs to and always did belong
to Fremont county. 1t has al
ways been a bill of expense to
Bingham county. One criminal
case up there three years ago
cost this county more than all
the taxes they have paid for five
years, and every juror that at
tends the district court from
there costs the county at least
$3.50. AT nearly all seasons of
the year they have to come
through Fremont county to get
to the county seat of Bingham
county. The assessor has not
been up there for the past two
years to assess their property.
There should be no objection to
their becoming a part of Ere
