GREAT POWER PLANT
ON THE SNAKE RIVER

Palms are being laid for the con-
struction of a mammoth power
plant in the Snake river at Ok Bow
Bend. Dominicus ]. Wilson, of
Boise, mas filed notice of appropria-
ton of 5000 cubic feet per second
of the flow of the river for the pur-
pose.
The Snake river at this point
makes a curve in the shape of an
OK bow where it flows through a
rocky canyon. At the narrowest
point the distance across the neck
of land thus formed is only 1900
feet. Mr.. Wilson filed in the name
of the Snake River Power company.
According to drawings and specifi-
cations, he proposes to construct a
dam on the upstream side of the
bow 40 feet high, and will create
a reservoir in the canyon extend
ing back five miles and impounding
an immense volume of water.
Across the narrow neck of land
he proposes to bore two or more
tunnels from the dam to the river
below. The effective fall for power
purposes will be 48 feet.
Each tunnel will be 16x16 feet
in the clear, capable of carrying
about 200 cubic feet per second.
The available horse power will be
about 1000. The site is excel
lent for distribution of power, and
is in the extreme northeastern cor
ncr of Baker county, within easy
distance of a number of thriving
mining camps, both on the Oregon
and Idaho side of the river.
Thee are no water rights to be
interfered with. The water is
taken out and returned to the river
within space of 1900 feet. Con-
struction will be expensive, as tun-
nels will have to be bored through
solid rock, but they will be absolute
ly permanent.
In addition to supplying power
for the Seven Devils, Sumpter,
Greenhorn and Ellhorn mining
districts, this plant can also furnish
electric light and power for Ontario
Weiser, Payette, Huntington
Sumpter, Baker City and othei
eastern Oregon and and Idaho cities

IRRIGATION HERE OLD
WHEN ROME WAS YOUNG

american irrigation was old
when Rome was in the glory of its
YOUTH says c. ]. Blanchard in
''The National Geographic Maya
zine. - ''The ancient aqueducts
and subterranean canals of South
America, extending for thousands
of miles, once supplied great cities
and irrigated immense areas.
Centuries before the venturous
Norseman landed upon the bleak
and inhospitable shores of New
England large population dwelt
in the hot valleys of the far south
west. From the solid rock, with
primitive tools of stone, they cut
bitches and hewed the blocks for
many chambered palaces, which they
erected in the desert or on the lime
stone Lodges of deep river canyons.
These voiceless ruins, Older than
the memory of many centuries,
tell the story of thrifty, home low
ing and semi-culuterd people, con-
corning whose fate history brings
us no word. In these palaces and
in many miles of canals we may
almost read the story of another
Egypt-a people toiling under the
burning sun of the desert, YEARLY
and patiently executing the COM
mands of an American Pharaoh. "
In the last quarter of century a
crop producing area of 10000, 900
acres, equal in size to the State of
Massachusetts, has been wrested
from the desert. Irrigation canals
long enough to span the earth twice
and representing an outlay of 500,
900, 900 have been built. Every
year this area returns harvest val
ued at nearly twice the cost of the
irrigation canals. The United
States is today the largest owner
of tie great American desert-no
doubt as Mr.. Blanchard explains,
because it was not considered worth
stealing. For many years the sem
timent has been growing that the
government should make this vast
empire habitable and this sentiment
crystallized into the reclamation
law, signed by President Roosevelt
on June 1, 1902.
j The first of the great irrigation
works to be undertaken by the gov
eminent is in Nevada. In the bee
of ancient Lake Lahontan and EN-.
bracing what was long known a:
Forty Mile desert, the most desolatc
and arid spot on this continent ex
cept Death valley, the engineer:
completed the plans for an extensive
irrigation work, involving some
rather novel engineering features

y which is that of lifting the water:

Y whence they are diverted into lat
