Engineer sb'ette Says $4,000
Acres Can be Reclaimed.
MAKES 4 PRELIMINARY REPORT
EASTERN CAPITALISTS CONTEM.
PLATE HEAVY INVEST
MENTS IN IDAHO.

MOUNTAINHOME,I Idaho, Aug. 21.-
civil Engineer Subledte of Minneapolis
who came here some weeks since to
act as consulting engineer for the G. D.
b. 5. company and to make a report
on its irrigating system to eastern
capitalists, who contemplate heavy in
vestments here, has, after more than a
month of work in the field, made a
partial report, which is altogether ia
vorable.
His estimate is that by completing
the work now under construction. MAX
ing liberau deductions for evaporation,
figuring that spring water flowing into
canals and reservoirs will only about
equal the loss by seepage, that from
$4,000 to $4,000 acres can be irrigated.
This is on the basis that the Little
Camas reservoir dam is built so as to
hold depth of 40 feet of water, and
the Long Tom dam so feet. In the
former 1884 acres will be covered by
water and will contain $4,000 acre feet.
The latter will contain 2200 acre feet.
Of the Mountainhome reservoir he has
made no accurate estimate as yet; but
apprOXlmateS it at 10000 acre feet.
This estimate, it will be noticed, does
not take into consideration the Lime
creek waters, which will be the sub
ject of further Investigations; which
will be made with a view to ascertain
ing the possibilities by extending the
system.
Mr.. Sublette suggests one change in
the plans; that for running the water
from High Prairie into Cat creek. In
stead of taking it from the west end,
he proposes that it be taken over
Moores prairie, along Wood creek, and
ty canal to Little Camas, sending l.
through the ditch to a new reservoir
to be constructed at the junction of
Long Tom and Syrup creeks, the place
originally intended for the construction
of the Long Tom dam.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-21

of the democratic party of Ohio in the
coming presidential election. Aside
from the temporary organization of the
convention no slate has been prepared
and all the fighting for the nominal
lions will be done on the floor of the
convention hall.
Judge B. F. Mccain, of Dayton, has
been selected for temporary chairman,
Price Russell, of Wayne county, for
temporary secretary; Bert Barley, of
Butler county, for sergeant-at-arms.
The total number of delegates will be
936, thus making the total number re-
quired for achoice, 469. 1t is the gen.
eral understanding that the Pattison
faction, composed of the friends of the
late governor, is still in control and will
exert a dominating influence in the
convention 1t is believed that a pow
erful effort will be made in the con-
vention to commit the democracy of
Ohio in favor of William J. Bryan's
candidacy wor president.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Why the Governor Vacated.


81 had been assigned to room at
hotel in a small southern town." said
the drummer, land while making
ready to go to bed l turned back the
sheets and found the place already
inhabited. They were there by the
score, and called up the landlord and
pointed them out and asked:
"1s this the sort of bed you expect
a decent man to sleep in?
"'By George, but that explains 1t!
he exclaimed, with a whistle of sur
prise.
1T doesn't explain how l am going
to get any sleep tonight
"'No, but it explains why the gov
ernor of the state, who was stopping
here one night last week, got up after
an hour and went out to finish the rest
Of the night in the barn. We all took
it that he was odd in his ways, and l
charged him four bits extra for dis
turbing the house, but l guess the old
