xEeLec1InG A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.

The attention of younger men
should be attracted by the work under
way by the government in the reclaim
alton of western lands. At present too
little notice is being given by, those
seeking homes to the opportunities Of
ed land. When the work has been
completed and the opportunity prac-
tically vanished we may expect rush
and the consequent disappointment.
The secretary of the interior has
lately set aside, Professionally, $2,600,-
900 for the construction by the engin-
Minidoka project in Idaho. This pro-
ject provides for the reclamation OF
about 100000 acres Of public land on
both sides of Snake River in south
ern Idaho. Water will be taken from
the river about six miles below Mini
afoka station, at a point where it has
But thru the lava ridge, which is an
sextension of the great lava fields that
Yapproach the river from the north be-
y tween American FALL; and Minidoka.
The most important feature Of con-
struction In connection with the Mini
doka project is the dam on Snake
River. The conditions here are very
favorable for such work. The top
of the lava ridge is about Al feet above
the river at low rate, the formation
Of the river at low water, the forna-
ton of the river bed is solid lava rock,
and the river from this point to Am
erican Falls flows IN a narrow canyon
or valley from 40 to $50 feet below the
bench lands. 1t is proposed to erect
j diversion dam so feet high and $50
feet long on top, which will back the
water up the river for a distance of
thirty-five miles.
/, \ A canal to carry water to the north
side lands, with a carrying capacity
of 1000 cubic feet a second, will be
taken out at the dam. The south side
canal, about thirteen miles in length,
will irrigate 5000 acres by gravity,
and will conduct water to the pump
ing stations for elevation to the high
err lands on that side Of the river. 1t
Twill nave capacity of about 500 cubic
Meet per second. Considerable power
xwill be developed for lifting the water
Ito bench lands above the line of grav-
sty bitches.
y The construction Of the dam will
provide splendid facilities for the
development Of power. The mini
lAum discharge OF the river at this
oint which will he available for this
slrpose is 2,100 second feet. This can
4 nsily be increased to 5000 feet by
Estdrage on the headwaters of the
@stream. This water can be passed
#thru walls under head of about SO

sopment of more than 1900 horse

SWAN AMONG nAGNATES
The Tour off. F. Young Through the
East.

z. T. Young, of the Mutual Benefit
Life, returned yesterday morning from
a trip through the south and east.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Young,
who will not return before October l.
They sDAnt some time in the noun
tains of east Tennessee and then
crossed over into North Carolina, af-
ter which they went north, visiting
Atlantic City.
At the time Mr.. Young was there
there were some other notable visitors
among them J. p. Morgan. Charles
NJ. Schwab, one of the Goulds and
several others. He even bathed in the
Atlantic with them but on account of
the size Of that famous pool he was
not brought directly under their not
ice so that they missed an opportunity
of securing his presence at their VIII
las. Nor were the cards of any of
them left at his hotel though a great
many other persons called to talk with
the man from Phoenix. This city, Mr..
Young said, is SO well known now
that he did not find it necessary to
put the ARR" after it.
The inquiries were frequently of n
general chara Cter, made to bring out
information supplementary to what
had already been learned, but most of
the inquirers dealt more particularly
on climatic conditions.
From what Mr.. Young gathered on
this subject he believes that this
should be made a famous health re-
sort; that is, the resort should not
be in the city but at some distance
from it like the one which has been
recently established near Las Vegas
and which has already given such
marked signs of Success

taken up properly and a canvass were
made of the east by the right kind Of

much as a million dollars from char
