Road Down Snake.

s'You may state positively that the
railroadswill be built down the Snake
river to the Iron Dyke mine this
year," said NJ o. Reed yesterday,
who is here looking the field over,
according to the Baker City Herald.
Mr.. Reed arrived from Colfax, Wash
ington, night before last and spent
the day yesterday looking into the
Iron Dyke litigation and the situation
of the company generally.
When seen by Herald representa-
tive last evening Mr.. Reed was not
adverse to making few statements
about the building of the road
There are certain deals on which are
not yet ripe for publication but they
are so far consummated that the
gentleman feels safe in stating that
the road will be built this year.
'You may also state that the Iron
Dyke litigation will not retard the
plans for building the road this year, "
said Mr.. Reed. SIN fact it will not
delay the matter In the least"
Mr.. Reed is not in position to go
into details as to the exact date upon
which work would begin and the
exact date upon which it would be
completed, but he stated that these
matters had been settled and would
be made public at an early date
'It will just as certainly be com
pleted to the Iron Dyke mines this
year as the year lasts through" said
the gentleman, sand no one doubts
this except possibly few cranks who
are expecting the world to come to an
end every day."
In speaking of the road with refer
ence to Baker City Mr.. Reed stated
that the already known fact that Ba-
ker City would be the principal city,
or practically the terminus of the
road. Baker City will be the market
town, the metropolis of that new
country which is to be opened up by
the new road.
He thinks that all of the passenger
traffic will come this way as well as
the local freight but the through
frelghts will go that way in order to
avoid the grade of the mountains.
The route this way is 100 miles
shorter and the passenger traffic will
naturally come this way. The build
ing OF the road will also facilitate the
handling of traffic greatly. 1t will
take of number of through freight
trains around the other way and leave
the track open for passenger and
local traffic. Il
1t will benefit Huntington greatly.
That town is continually growing and
Will improve with the building of the
road but Baker City must of necessity
draw the main traffic. In fact she is
naturally the metropolis of eastern
Oregon and nothing can get in her
way She will hold it against all
corners and goers. Every improve
ment in this vast region of country
will boost Baker City for she is the
heart to which all of the veins of
eastern Oregon commerce must flow

fork of this stream and more, Oh
about / 900, 900 acre feet, to furnish
the water claimed for this purpose
alone. If the splendid storage
facilities are to be used for this pur-
pose, there would be a supply OF
water in the river for irrigation for
only about three months of each
season, or during the flood discharge
of the stream. On the other hand.
if these lands are to be reclaimed
there will not be any water in the
river at this point for power purposes
for several months during each sea-
son, as all the water will be diverted
above this point. More than 20 per
cent of the irrigable lands of the
valley will have to be furnished with
water for their late irrigation, neces-
stating the utilization of practically
every storage site existing in that
drainage basin for that purpose.
1.-The nature and magnitude of
the conflict between these interests
should be readily understood. The
impending conflict might easily be
obvlated if site for power develop
ment were selected above instead of
below large bodies of irrigable land.
American Falls offers an ideal Local
ton for the development of water
power. 1t is located above nearly
400, 900 acres of irrigable land, the
late water supply for which, to the
extent of nearly 5000 second feet.
will have to be furnished from reser-
volrs. This supply will have to pass
these falls, increasing the discharge
OF the river during its lowest stage
from 1000 to 5000 second feet.
enough for the creation of over 20. :
900 horse power, which can be de-
veloped at very reasonable expense.
and without conflicting in any way
with the rights of irrigation in any
part of the Snake river valley.
The development of cheap power
is very essential and is a powerful
agency in building up any country
The foundation of the development
of any arid country is not power
but irrigation, and the right to the
use OF the streams for any other mr.
pose must be subservient to irrioa-
ton rights if such development is 70
be full and complete. When il is
realized that at best probably not
more than four per cent of the arid
portion of Idaho can ever he re-
claimed, there should be no question
as to the desirability of having these
resources fully utilized"

The Output

The output is the keynote
to profit. In deciding upon
a price at which to sell, a
manufacturer, no matter
what article he has to offer,
considers how many he is
likely to sell, and bases his
charges accordingly, 1t is
quite reasonable, too. lfa
tailor sells only two suits of
clothes each week, his in
come must come from the
profit of these two suits. If
he can, however, double or
tretle his output without
materially increasing his
working expenses, he can
naturally afford to make the
profit on each suit much less,
Again, this output decides
the buying power. 1t is
only necessary to state that
there have been manufactur-
ed and sold over
