Secretary of The Interior
Has Approved Plans For
Payette And Boise
Rivers.

The Secretary of the Interior ha.
Tentatively approved plans for q
stupendous irrigation project TO be
constructed In the valleys of Payette
and Boise rivers, In southw esteru
Idaho. This information will be
especially interesting to those who
are familiar with the publications OF
the United States Geological Survey.
One OF the most recent geologic TO.
lios issued by the Survey Is that
relating to the Nampa quadrangle,
which Is situated near the lower end
of Snake River valley, mostly in
Canyon couny, Idaho. Mr.. Waldemar
Lindgren, author of the folio. states
that In this region, owing to the lack
of rainfall, vegetation IL scant, aud
the entire quadrangle may be called a
sage. brush desert. He calls attention
to the fact that, with the exception
of the flood plains of the Boise and
Payette rivers. tributaries of Snake
river, where there Is n natural sub
irrigation that keeps vegetation grow
ing, aud some places along Willow
cieek, where underground water pro.
vides similar subirrigation, the ag
ricultural lands of the quadrangle
must be irrigated.
In view OF this great need. II is
gratifying to learn that work has
been begun to bring under one com.
prehensive national irrigation project
$4,000 acres of land, or more than
the total irrigated area of Arizona.
Washington, or Mexico. In com.
pliance with a request from the
majority of the landowners of the
Boise and Payette valleys. the Sec.
retary Of the Interior has ordered a
continuance Of the surveys and IN.

construction work. A sufficient sum

perfect the necessary oraRnization to

undertaking.
The project comprises two features,
a masonry dsm in the Payette river
and works for the diversion of water
from Boise river. Associated with
the dam In Pay ,tte river ia a canal
on each side of the stream, that on
the south side connecting with a |
large pumping plant. The dam will
be ninety feet high. so feet long on
top, aud 1875 feet long on the bottom.
The capacity Of the reservoir will be
100, 900 acre feet. The north side

When Meredith P. Gentry was de.

passed and he went into decline,
So some of his friends visited him
in order to cheer him up and, as was
the custom in those days, emptied
several demijohns of whisky during
the evening. 1t was very late before
they thought Of retiring and then Gen.

More Horses and Mules.

8 According to the report Of the Sta
tistician of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture there were. on
January i, 1904, some 16,736,G59 head
Of horses and 2,756,916 head of mules
in the United States. These fig
ures show an increase Of 49,
;6e6 horses and 29,323 head Of mules
over the totals given out in 1903. The
good demand for horses and mules
at the present time and the small in
crease indicated shows the Importance
of the farmers Of the middle South
giving more attention to the breeding
.of animals in the immediate future
than has been done in the past few
years.
The mule breeding interest is con-
fined to comparatively small area of
the United States, centering chiefly in
the middle South, including the States
of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, LOU
:siania, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee.
Kentucky and Missouri. The largest
number of mules are found in Texas.

That the LaymaH May Know the Law.
Quite number Of changes have
been noticed in the method of draw
ing bills in Congress- Measures which
are intended to become a law now
contain shorter sentences, and wher-
ever possible commas and semi-colons
are omitted and periods used instead.
This is for the purpose of making it
easier to interpret law and avoid
mistakes. Several times questions
have arisen whether comma or semi
colon was in the right place. In some
instances it has been found that the
displacement Of a comma in the law
has changed the entire meaning of
the section and rendered the act nuga-
tory. If the laws that are enacted
could be stripped Of the verbiage and
much Of the indefinite words, along
with the commas that are being elm
mated, the average layman might be
able to understand them better

and third. The high price Of cotton
at the present time insures q good
market for mules for some time to
come, and it would take several years
of systematic breeding to overstock
the market, judging from the present
demand for good animals. In fact, the
market will not soon be oyerstocked
with good horses and mules. 1t is
overstocked all the time with scrub
animals, but the farmer who has fore.
sight enough to breed the draft type
OF mule for the Northern trade will
find his animals in good demand in
that direction, while the man who
breeds mules of lighter type and
finer bone, but with plenty Of sub
stance, will find them in good demand
in the regions lying to the South.
What is needed in both the horse
and mule breeding business is better
type of mares in much larger numbers
and then the use of only the choicest
coach Oh hackney sires for the pro-
duction of the roadster OF coach t.pe
of horses that is in general demand
everywhere, and the employment of
only the best bred jacks of fine quality
in the breeding Of the character Of
mule that the market now seeks and
for which profitable cash price can
be obtained any day. The middle
South is we'll adapted for the produc-
ton Of the class Of horses and mules
that are in greatest demand at the
present time. Are our people fully
alive to conditions as they exist to-
day, and are they taking full advan-
taga of the present situation?-South-
