Opening Of Idaho Lands.

Boise, Idaho, Oct 2O.-One hundred
thousand ac es OF pnbic lands ia south
ern Idaho were opened for public entry
today by the state land board, The
tract i on tie south side of the Snake
river, in Cassia county, and embraces
some Of the richest and most productive
lands in the state. The water for irri-
eating The lands is derived frnm the
Snake river and is provided in a suffi-
cient abundance to cover the entire
tract with one foot of water a month.
is easily twice as much as will be
needed
A dam has been built in the river at
the head of the great canyon which
raises the water about so feet above it's
natural level. By this means the water
is diverted into a huge canal which
carries the water at the highest possible
| level westward 70 miles distributing 1t
all along the way into laterals that
reach every part of the vast tract.
The entire area of lands under the
canal is 27l 900 acres. Forty thousand
acres have been opened and taken up
by settlers. Owing to the demand for
the lands opened up today it is prob
able that the state board will decide up
on an early date for opening the re-
mainder OF the tract irrigated bv the
canal. The irrigation scheme is the
largest ever carried to successful con-
clusion ia America The cost of the
dam and canals amounted to $500 600.
The climate ia very mild IN winter ana
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 1926
an acre for the perpetual water right.
The payments may be made as follows:
Twenty-Five cents an acre to the state
on making application and So an acre
for water for the first two seasons. The
| of
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 50 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 tor from SlOO to
$3.50 en- acre. Though they were sage
brush deserts five or six years ago.
The only clearing reqnred on the
land is the removal of the sagebrush
which can be easily done for $2 or So
per acre with cntter that is drawn
along about two inches below the sur
face of the soil The :and may then be
irrigated, plowed and sown to alfalfa, a
quick money crop.

PORTAGE ROAD.
Cmattlia and Walla Walla COun-
ties will Give $1,000.

Walla Wal county will soon begin
campaign to raise $4,000 for the use
of the Open Riyer commission in Sc
curing right of way tor the Portage
road at Cello. The assessment of
Walla Walla county Is the same as that
of Umatilla and every indication is that
it will be decided to raise this as readily
as Pendleton fell into line.
Leon G hen who has charge of the
Umatila county fund has not selected
the collectors as yet who will assist him
in the work, but expects to set the ball
in motion in the near future.
The Walla Wala Commercial club
will meet Friday night and will discuss
the question fully and at this meeting
it is expected that not only the city
business men will be present, but also
that the WalIa Walla county farmers
who are interested in the improvement
of transportation facilities will attend
en- masse and express their opinion on
the proposed assessment.
From the expressions made by the
business men of Wala Wala it seems
certain that the county will raise its
portion Of the money needed as soon as
Umatilla county will and tn no more
difficulty will be experienced in Sc
curing the assessment there than there
Will be IN collecting it here. Other
couu'ies are bearing their portion of the
burden willingly and in many of the in
land towns are found business men, big
shippers and merchants, that would be
viii ne to pay the entire assessment of
the town themselves could they be sure
the portage road won d soon be built.
The Open River commission, after
summers wo with the state board,
the government officials and the rail
road interests has secured the promise
of assistance from these sources and has
been given a clear track, the only
pledge being that the commission pay
tor the road and raise in any way it may
see fit a sun sufficient for this purpose
the state appropriation being not more
than half enough.
AS to the necessity of the road the
present season has shown that more
than ever before, since the big wheat
crop filed the grainaries and store
houses of the region. The farmers and
.grainmen are used to an Scent tariff
where there should only be Scent
one, but it took a car shortage that
practically held up the county's crop for
two months after the harvest to make |
some of the growers realize what they
were up against. But the lesson ac-
cording to the feeling shown by the
local business men and grain growers
and shippers, has been rather thorough
ly learned and Umatilla county will |
easily raise it's $1,000 for the project and
consider the purchase cheap at the
price.
"We old hill dwellers have been wait
ing for twenty-five years for chance to
ship our stuff out without giving up DO
per cent of its value TO the railroads."
said big whea'raiser yesterday, "and

THIS MOYEkENT WILL FAIL.

The unionized labor organizations of
the state are talking up the matte.
Of going it alone politically. Not to
form party of their own, but to
stand together and make terms with
whichever political party will make
the most promises and the greatest
political concessions to them.
To the casual observer it seems that
this shows the numerical weakness in
the ranks of organized labor in Colo
rado. By such action the leaders of
the movement acknowledge that an
out-and-out union labor party could
not carry anything at all, but must
get what it can by obtaining conces-
sions from other parties.
In the first place any organization
makes fatal mistake by unmssking
its own batteries disclosing its weak
ness, and in the second place it is now
a settled policy with both the repub-
lican and democratic parties that
they will make no outside alliances
for as parties they can not offord to
do 80. This was proven in the case
Of the populists whose party died of
Immediately after the two old parties
refused to recognise them by fusion,
and the unionist party leaders would
do we'll to profit by the example which
marked ths absolute failure of the
populists.
The labor union men within the
ranks of the old parties receive just
the same advantages and priviledges
that other men do, and the selfshness
of handful of scheming politicians
within the union ranks to herd their
followers by themselves ia put up
job that the average voter does
not like and can mot reconcile himself
to.
The Citizens Alliance people would
have the same right to flock by them
selves, and 30 would the members of
any church or any lodge, but they
don't do it and they will not give
countenance to the scheme by any
others.
The failure of the populists to exist
after they ceased to stand as sepa-
rate and independent party is some
thing to be remembered.

SUPREMACY IN
IRON AND STEEL

In looking for the causes which
underlie the supremacy Of the United
States in the steel and iron trade.
honesty and gratitude alike demand
that first place be given to the mar
velous natural resources Of the c0un-
try, for which there is no parallel any
where in the world, says the Iron and
Steel Number of the Scientific Ameri-
can.
Not only has nature provided stores
of iron ore, coal and limestone in lav-
ish abundance, but the supply itself is
easy Of recovery from its native beds,
and advsntageously placed for the
transporting Of its various elements
to a common center; while the mate
rials are Of quality that could scar
cely be surpassed for economy OF
handling and treatment in mine, fur
mace and mill. But although the
fundamental secrets Of our success
are to be found in natural conditions,
too much cannot be said in praise of
the intelligence and skill with which
the American ironmaster has risen to
his opportunities.
1t is to the remarkable ingenuity
shown in the production Of labor saw
ing machinery that much Of the cheap
ening Of the cost Of production is due;
to say nothing Of the broad admins
trative ability shown by the manage
ment of the great steel and iron works,
in laying out the component parts OF
their establishments in such a way
that the heavy tonnage whish passei
through these plants day by day shall
proceed from the crude material to
the finished product with the least
possible amount Of handling and trans
shipment.
Lastly our iron and steel men, early
in the history Of the development Of
the industry, perceived and acted up
on the fundamental economic fact
that, for the cheap production Of irol
and steel, magnitude Of operations
and combinations Of capital are es
sential.

THE big $l50,0OO,0O0 FIRE at
