ACCUSES HIS FATHER
Julius Wiltrax Says His Parent Shot
Paul PaseWosky.

Chicago, May 11.-A startling confession
has been made to Inspector Wheeler at
the West Chicago police station by julius
Wiltrax when the latter declared that his
father, Joseph Wiltrax, had shot and
killed 6year-old Paul Pasewosky. For
nearly a week the Wiltrax boy has been
in the custody of the police as have his
father, whom he now accuses, and also
his mother. The circumstantial evidence
was so strong that a charge of murder
was preferred against the saloonkeeper.
The family maintained a stolid silence,
and at all times denied knowledge of the
crime. julius Wiltrax at one time, while
being questioned, accused his parents Of
killing the boy. Later, however he de-.
MED the accusation. This afternoon he
was again subjected to the sweat box
and after being questioned at length he
broke down.

states. The central portion OF the
Snake river valley contains about
400, 900 acres of irrigable land lying
practically all in one body, and
other large tracts exist well situated,
all promising great things for the
future, so far as weslth and pofula-
ton are concerned
'.Thls is brief outline OF the con-
dilions surrounding irrigation IN
Idaho and the work which Is being
done for its extension under the pro-
visions of the reclamation act The
full extent of the possibilities has
not yet been ascertained. On con-
servatiye estimate, they are very
great. There are not, however, lo,-
600, 600 acres Of irrigable land in
the Snake river valley, as many OF
our citizens are in the habit of stat
4 ing. 1t Will, perhaps, never pe
practicable to irrigate more than 3,
900, 900 acres, as there will not be a
supply of water available for more
than that area. But there are prob
ably more large bodies of first-clsss
lrrigabIe land In this state than in
? any of the other states of the west,

will, in all probability, be more
acres of well watered land than IN

THU ARID LAND
AREA OF idaho
MADE BY ENGINEER ROSS
TO RECLAMATION ENGINEERS AT
OGDEN.

The following is report of al
statement made by Engineer Ross at
the meeting of reclamation engineers
at Ogden, during the session OF the
National Irrigation Congress. 1t
gives good idea of the work done
by reclamation engineers in this
state, and because of comparative
figures furnished on the extent OF
the irrigable area in the Snake River
valley. Mr.. Ross said
uIdaho has all area of about o4,-
600 square miles, of which about DO
per cent, or 80, 200, 600 acres-the
southern portions arid. With the
exception of small area lying IN
the Salt Lake basin, this arid portion
is within the drainage basin OF the
Snake river, so the future OF agrl-
culture in this part of Idaho, in fact
the future of the state itself, is
linked with the possibility of irrlga'
ton development in the Snake river
valley.
s.The area drained directly by
this stream is about $4,000 square
miles Several large areas arr

along the lines of least resistance,
but practically all has been accom-
plished that can be done by COM
munities through the methods usual
ly employed, and also all that can be
safely left to the efforts of private
capital, actuated by the hopes of
large profits. The former agency
has about reached the limit on ac-
count of the magnitude of the under
takings themselves the latter for
the reason that sound public policy
demands the carrying out of plans
broad enough to provide for the
needs of vast interests in addition
to, but widely separate from, the
projects directly involved in order
that the serious conflicts between
communities have interests in COM
mon, which already threaten, may be
obviated, and the endless complica
tions which, without exception, al
WAYS follow in the wake of irrigation
extension by this agency may be pre-
vented in the future, so the chsnc'
of enlis!lng the assistance OF tn

veys made today show the entire
feasibility of reclaiming some 400,
600 acres of public lands and of con-
trolling the food discharge of nearly
all the principal streams used for ir-
rlgation. Estimates of the cost OF
constructing the necessary works are
being prepared as rapidly as possible
and will all be submitted to the de-
partment before the close of the
year.
.sThe possibilities in connection
with the reclamation of arid lands
from an economic standpoint depend
very largely upon the location and
area OF the tracts to be reclaimed,
whether dense population will some
day be contained and centers OF
great wealth and influence be estao-
lished. or whether sparsely settled
and small communities only will re-
suit.
.ldsho from the standpoint OF an
arid country, is remarkably fortu-
nate in the nature of her irrigation
possibilities. Practically all the re-
claimable land is situated at an altl
tude where farming is extensively
protitatie. where the value Of lane
based upon its products alone is al
ready very high. The climate con
{ ditions and the extreme fertility o

promise dense population over al
