Am important Enterprise

The closing of the deal which
secures TO the Lewiston Waha
Land, Water and Power Co, the
water rights at Lake Waha and
the property rights that form the
basis OF the great irrigation project
they have outlined adds another
great enterprise 10 the events that
are making Lewiston. The Waha
project plans fer the irrigation of
$4,000 acres of semi arid lands
lying between Lewiston and Lake
Waha distance Of about 90 miles.
With the exception of the bench
lands lying directly south of the
city the average rainfall is enough
to make these lands fairly pro-
ductive as farm lands. During
the past four or FIVE years the grain
crop has produced an average from
IS to go bushels. The soil is a
rich loan and very fertile. The
addition Of water will! make the
country wonderfully productive.
The lands will increase in value
because of the wider range of pro-
ducts made possible by the abnnd-
ant use of water. What is now
farms will be cut into ten acre
tracts and set to fruit or put to the
cultivation of grasses. Orchards,
vineyards, fields of clover and
alfalfa, berry patches in abundance
will occupy the lonesome acres
now devoted almost wholly to
grain growing.
The success of the Vineland pro-
ject is to be repeated On larger
scale in the Lewiston Waha pro-
ject. The ten acre tract devoted
to fruit growing and small farming
has proven enough to support a
family. The opening of $4,000
acres means $500 homes in terri
tory where there are now less than
100 homes. Extensive farm ng
will give way TO intensive farming
and the annual out put of the land
in cultivation will be increased a
hundr. d fold. It is project large
with promise for the Lewiston
country.

In the insialment of his series on

In planning h $ ideal con- munity

whether polling is really essential

such a thing as an election, as it

just how a jur, might be elected,

The recurring regularity with
which criminal trials in Me- Perez
county end in a hung jury is
mat er enough Tor some serious
thought along the lines OF change.
There is something wrong with the
machinery Of Justice when crimes
are c, mmitied and crimina go
unwhipt. The re cord made in the
trial OF important criminal cases in
past five or six years in NJ Pcrc
county is not one to which any
county or c. immunity could point
with pride. Justice should be dealt
to the law breaker with promptness
and dispalch and anything less
than tina, is for The encouragement
of crime and the breeding of
criminals.
