TO RECLAIM LAND.
Large Tract in Idaho Will Be Opened
for Settlement.

Salt Lake Utah.-Seventy-fye thou
sand acres Of arid land will be re-
claimed and opened for sediment in
Idaho as the result of a deal which
was cOnsummated in this city when
the American Falls Canal & Power
company concluded ARRANGEMENTS for
the completion Of its canal in Idaho.
The contract was awarded to Lyman
Skeen. Of Ogden. for the construction
OF the entire canal system. The cost
OF this work, exclusive Of headgate
etc, Will amount TO $325.0 More
than 100 men will begin construction
work this week. and within 90 days
it is believed. water can be delivered
upon 5000 acres.
The COmpany's canal is taken out
Of the Snake river, about 2 miles
above the town of BlackfOOt, in Bing
ham county and runs southwest IS
miles. 1t terminates just below the
American falls, Blaine county. where
il discharges its surplus water back
into the Snake river.
The country that will be traversed
by the canal is considered one Of the
most fertile valleys along the river
The canal will be So feet wide at the
top, SO feet wide at the bottom. and
capable OF carrying six feet of water
The company whichO is undertaking
the reclamation of the huge tract OF
land is composed Of Ogden and Salt
Lake business men.

ali possible deductions from its CAPT

property owned outside of the rail

$40. eco per mile as being Wei within

AS to these valuations for the pur-
pose OF taxation, We would quote from
an opinion of the supreme court, in
The case of the Adams Express Co.
VS.. Ohio in 165 L. S. in stating the
grounds for its decision, the court
said:

should never be forgotten. that what

S47.594 per mile. It's funded debt
(bOnds) secured by mortgage on the
road is $4,745.000, or $29,loJ per

addition to small sum carried as
surplus. No dividends were paid on
its stock.
Its stock and bonds are largely. if
not entirely held by Northern Pacific

cial journals and reports fails to dis

Ii is very evident that from its posi-
zion in competitive territory it IS a

DR. Conroy demanded his release on
the ground that he was a Red Cross
surgeon, and therefore immune. The
British officers refused to believe him,
but maintained he was member of
the Irish regiment. They continued
preparations for his court-martial, and
were about to try him when Gen.
Hamilton arrived in Pretoria.
While looking through the stockade
Gen Hamilton recognized Dr. Conroy
as the surgeon who had amputated his
arm, and Immediately set about to Sc
cure his release
Through his efforts the plans for
court martial, which no doubt would
have ended in DR.. Conroy being shot as
traitor, were abandoned, and DR..
Conroy, along with three other mem
bers of his corps, was sent to Ports
mouth. Eng. where he was kept
prisoner until the close of the war.
Soon after his release DR.. Conroy
and his three companions entered
claim against England for the dam
ages they had suffered. The United
States prosecuted the claim and re-

President of Assembly De-
clares That Smelling Av-
enue Is Not the Proper
Route for the Proposed
Cross.Town Car Line
Considers Dale or VictO.
ria Street a Feasible
Route.

DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann, president Of
the assembly, says the location of the
proposed new cross town car line on
Smelling avenue will never get his vote.
Smelling avenue is not the place for
the new cross-town line and the other
members know it as well as I do said
DR.. Schiffmann yesterday.
''The company wants Smelling avenue
simply because it Will benefit the new
barns that it proposes to locate on that
thoroughfare and not because of any
benefit that the public would derive.
ut is all bosh about the Victoria
street route not being feasible or that
Dale street residents are opposed to the
use Of their thoroughfare,' added DR..
Schiffmann. "The whole trouble is the
company finds it would have to erect a
bridge suitable to accommodate the
traffic and it prefers to wait until the
city builds one. The contention that
the House of the Good Shepherd de-
stroys the usefulness of Victoria street
is all rot. A cross-town line does not
necessarily mean a bee line directly
north and south. The company can
build around the House of the Good
Shepherd.
THE city, 1 find, has just completed
a costly bridge on Grand avenue, and
in my opinion 1t was built for nothing

Aid Dahlquist, of the Third ward,
thinks there is better way to serve
the employees of the Great Northern
shops and the locality adjacent with
quick transportation, than changing the
route of the Hamline line as proposed
by Aid. Hinkens.
He intends to ask the council to aid
him in his scheme.
Mr. Dahlquist's proposition is to take
the Como Harriet line off Robert street,
send the cars around by way of Broad
way, thence out Broadway to Missis-
sippi and Acker streets, past Oakland
cemetery and thence across country to
Rice street, where it would again re-
sumo its old route on Como avenue
This change, Mr.. Dahlouist says
would serve the majority of the en-
Oloyes of both the new Great Northern
shops and the Irvine works, and at the
same time provide transportation ia
cilities for a locality now lily served.
Mr.. Dahlqufst gives notice that an Or
dinance providing for the change will
be introduced in the council at once.

the railroad shop and twine employees,
but at the same time, if I can secure
Endorsement for my scheme, I will be

the original source of this supply is the
local rainfall the same as that of shall
low wells, but it is q more constant
supply because the water enters more
gradually. 1t is more continuous and
does not, however, waste in evapora-
ton. 1t should not, however, be con-
Sidered ineXhaustible, for if tubular
well is drawn upon too freely the sup
ply may gradually fail, the decline be-
ing first apparent in an elevated region.
1t is universally agreed that the main
artesian supply is derived from the
sandstone and sand beds of the Da-
kota formation, though smaller flows
are obtained from sandstone in the
Benton formation. The Dakota sand
stone owes its capacity as a water
storer to several causes. The first Of
these is its great extent for it under
lies most of the great plains from
the Rocky mountains eastward to about
the ninety-fifth meridian. The high
elevation of it's western border, which
is located in the moist region Of the
mountains and is crossed by numerous
mountain streams, is of great assist
ance; so also is the fact that it is large
ly sealed at it's eastern margin by the
overlapping of clays of the Colorado
formation, and where these are absent,
by the glacial till sheet The denuda-
ton of wide areas by older streams,
especially IN North and South Dakota,
so as to bring the land surface below
the level of the pressure height pro-
duced by the elevated source of the
water at the western border Of the
formation, is another cause of the effici-
ency of the Dakota sandstone as wa
ter reservoir. Wells supplied from the
Dakota and everything sandstOnes may
be either pumping or flowing wells.
The folio contains a detailed discus
sion of variations in artesian pressure
and includes some valuable SUCCESS
lions to well borers. The possibility
of deeper flows in certain portions OF
the quadrangle seems strong 1t is sug-
gested that the supply of underground
water be reinforced by the construc-
ton, where practicable, of dams across
shallow water courses in such a way as
to produce ponds. The water of these
will gradually sink into the ground and
reach the shallow and tubular wells
which are ordinarily replenished by
the percolation or rainfall.
