lord of the admiralty. Sir John

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 2O.-one humid
red thousand acres of public land in
southern Idaho were opened for pub
tic entry today by the state land
beard. The tract is on the south side
OF the Snake river, in Cassia county,
ana embraces some of the richest
and most productive lands i'm the
state The water for irigating these
lands is derived from the Snake river
and is provided in a sufficient abund-
ance - cover the entire tract with
one foot of water a month, which is
easily twice as much as will be need.
ed. A Cam has been built Ia the
river at the head of the great cam
yon which raises the water about so
teet above its natural level. By this
means the water is diverted into
huge canal which carries the water
at the highest possible level westward
20 miles, distributing it all along the
way into laterals that reach every
part of the vast tract.
The entire area of lands under the
canal is 271,0OO acres. Forty
thousand acres have been opened and
taken up by settlers. Owing to the
demand for the lands opened up to-
day it is probable that the state
board will decide upon an early date
for opening the remainder of the
tract irrigated by the canal. The ir-
rigation scheme is the largest ever
carried to successful conclusion in
America. The cost of the dam and
canal amounts to $2,5OO,OOO. The
climate is very mild in winter and
is adapted to the raising of all kinds
of grain, vegetables and fruits that
may be raised in the northern states.
The cost of the land under this
canal is so cents an acre to the state
and $25 an acre for the perpetual
water right. "he payments may be
made as follows: 25 cents an acre
to the state on making application
and SO an acre for water for the first
two seasons. The second payment of
25 cents an acre to the state may be
made at any time within three years
upon taking title to the land. The
subsequent payments for the water
right are the same as commonly paid
for annual rentals in other districts,
namely, So per acre at the end of the
second season and each following
year TO the eighth year when there
will be two annual payments of SO
each and final payment of 81. I'M
proved lands in the irrigated districts
of Idaho, in the Payette, Boise and
Snake river valleys, are selling for
from 500 to $3.50 an acre, although
they were sage-brush deserts five or
six years ago.
The only clearing required on the
land is the removal of the sage-brush
which can be easily done for two TO
three dollars per acre with cutter
that is drawn along about two inches
below the surface of the soil. The
land land may be irrigated, plowed
and sown to alfalfa, a quick money
crop.
