IDAHO WANTS IT ALL
Senator Dubois Says There Is
No Water to Spare Tn
Snake River.
lsneclal 10 - HeraIdl


washington. Feb. Ex-senator Dubois
today authorized the following state
ment relative to the proposed plan of
diverting the waters Of Snake river
for the purpose Of filing up Great
Salt lake.
1T is absurd to talk about divert
ing the Snake river into any other
state. There isn't sufficient water in
the river to ilTigate Idaho lands, and
the people Of the state will expect their
representatives in congress to use
every. endeavOr to secure the cOnstruc-
ton of reservoirs at the headwateTs Of
the Snake river. making use Of Twin
Ocean. Emma, Matilda, Jennie AND
Jackson lakes for storage purposes.
When this is done and all the waters
that can be gathered and stored are
turned into Snake river, there win not
be sufficient water then to irrigate the
available arid ands in Idaho which can
he irrigated from Snake river. Instead
of being any surplus. there will not be
sufficient water. Nature has 50 pro-
vided that Idaho is The best situated
of any state in the west to be success
fully reclaimed under the national ir-
rigation act. Snake river is our great
est asset and our great pride. 1t is
ridiculous to think for an instant that
any representative of Idaho. either
here or at home. should consider for a
moment any sort of proposition which
would divert the waters of the Snake
river TO the reclamation of lands out
side Of Idaho. I can assure the people
of Idaho that they need not be alarmed.
All the waters Of Snake river viii be
used In Idaho"
