IDAHO HAS FINE
WATER POWER
Destined to Become Factor
in Manufacturing
World

1t is understood that some legisla-
ton will be asked for this session,
looking to any possible encouragement
that may be given to the manufactur-
ing industries of the state, especially
for the generation of power from the
streams
There is believed to be approx
mately 100000 horse power along the
Snake river alone-power which would
mean incalculable wealth to Idaho II
it could all be utilized and put tc
work here in the state.
The Salmon river also has wonder
ful potentialities. which would ado
millions to the resources OF the state
So valuable indeed, are these power
propositions to the state that some
legislation to encourage them to de-
velop and enrich the state is promised
for this session.

Irrigation BY Gravity.

One of the ways wherein the de-
velopment of power plants can help
the state is indicated in the state
ment of a big machinery representa-
tive who recently visited the city,
that he had more calls for pumping
plants and installations Of power along
the Snake river than for any, II not
all, other kinds of machinery.
Gravity irrigation for land and any
where near all OF the Snake river
valley Is out of the question, Pump
ing must be resorted to II the land is
to be irrigated. To run pumps re-
quires power and the river itself can
be made to furnish the power.
There are some considerable pump
ing plants along the river. two of
which are near American Falls. One
Of these runs centrifugal pump rails

to height OF 40 feet The other IL
smaller but still of some Importance

Appraisine Of Land.

"The appraised value of the land is
to be paid according to the rules and
regulations prescribed by the secre-
tary of the interior upon the following
terms:
One-fifth to be paid in cash at the
time of entry, and the remainder to
be paid in the five equal annual install
ments. in one. two, three, four and five
years respectively, from and after the
date of entry, and in case an entry
man fails to make the annual pay
ments, or any of them, promptly when
due, all rights to the land covered by
his or her entry will cease, and the
payments heretofore made vial he
forfeited. the entry cancelled, and the
lands reoffered for sale and entry.

Many Little Water Wheels.

All along the river are fertile little
tracts of land, or big tracts some Of
them, which would be of Immense
value If they could have water. The
development of electric mower to be
transmitted along the river would be
of inestimable value to the settlers
who have no fuel that can be used
for steam power.
The little water wheels that line the
snake, and the pretty little homes
where the water has made it possible
to make the farms comfortable and
profitable tell what might be accom-
plished if irrigation facilities were inn
proved.
Even the irrigation features, how
ever. are not all important. Manu-
facturers follow the development of
any country.
Has Finest Water Power.
Idaho has the finest water power of
any state in the northwest. Utah has
little or no water power. the cheap
est power for manufacturing Nevada
has little water power Montana,
Washington and Oregon are behind
the Gem state in the natural posi-
pilities for the production of power.
Idaho is cut out for a manufactur-
ing state, for the power is right here.
Whatever the state can do to facili-
tate the Harvesting of the streams,
and setting them to work in the fac
tories of the state, is like extending the
the boundaries without increasing the
cost of government-Idaho Register.

emerges after being dragged through

SEHAT0RS ANGERED BY
NEW FOREST RESERVES
spEcIAL pIsPArcH Id - -

WASHINGTON. March z.-Senasors
from oregon, Washington. Idaho,
Montana, Colorado and Wyoming
are very angry over the Pres
ident's proclamation creating and
charging forest reserves in those
States. This proclamation is dated
March 2, but the Senators say private
" that II was written and issued to-
day, after Congress had enacted the
Fulton amendment providing that no
more forest reserves should be Gre
ated In those States withou. the con-
sent Of Congress.
That extreme haste was employed
in getting ahead OF the Fulton amend
ment was admitted by the Forestry
Bureau today. Forester Pinchot does
not know within 100000 acres just
how much land is comprised in the
new reserves. He said the maps had
been in preparation for a long time.
but evidently the work haG not been
concluded when the President issued
his proclamation.
The effect Of the Presidents action
IS to make the Fulton amendment in
effective, because there is practically
no more land in any Of the six States
IN question which can be converts
into a forest reserve. One-third Of
the State OF Idaho is now included
in reserves. The forest service is
now master OF the SlluaLlOn ana does
not need to ask the consent Of Con-
gress 20 administer the reserves Gre
sted by the President.
The President is greatly OVERRIDING
this forest reserve business" said a
Northwestern Senator tonight The
people OF the six States affected are
naturally opposed to having their
States handicapped by vast stretches
OF land walled in. II Is not a case
OF timber grabbing. The President's S
action will simply give the timber
monopoly g better grip on the people.
The price of lumber is already as high
IN Portland as IL is In the East Under
the Government policy only companies
with huge capital can afford to open
up timber in the forest reserves. They
viii not do so because the restrictions
are too severe. So the outside timber
barons have everything their own way.
The President and Forester Pinchot
mean well, but they don't see that
there is such g thing as running =
theory to death. II the President wants
TO ALLEVIATE the support OF the people
OF the six States in question he has
r<zen the right course to do it."

New Tenor Appears
in Musical Farce
at American
BY James Crawford

With youth and grace of person to
aid his singing equipment, Carl Haydn
should quickly win popularity at the
American Theater, where he made his
Western debut last evening in a Smith
Highlander thing titled The Wild
Rose"
Mr. Haydn's rather robust tenor is of
even and pleasing quality in the lower
registers, but more than hints at vi
brato in his loftier flights. 1t is ample
to meet the ordinary requirements of
comic opera, however, and its efficiency
in ballad Interpretation was demon
strated by the excellent phrasing he
gave IF You But Knew" His acting
was somewhat stilted but that may
have been owing to fir4t-night nervous
ness.
AS 1t was the initial local production
of "The Wild Rose" something by way
of description is due, but may be dis
missed with the statement that the
niece comes closer to conventional mu-
steal comedy than anything presented
at the American since THE Strollers.
IFS two scenes are laid in a gypsy camp
on the Rhine and military cafe at
Strasburg, and its variegated pictur-
esaueness of costumery is therefore en-
tirely congruous. Whatever story II
originally possessed is so enmeshed
would be useless to attempt to follow
it. The original music retained is me-
lodiously lively, which may also be
said of the newly inserted numbers.
George Lask directed the staging and
that announcement suffices to explain
that the pictures are worth seeing.
