SURVEYING PARTY
TO CASTLE CREEK
New Irrigation Project Announced
to Cover Lands in Vicinity of
Grandview and Oreana.

Another small but promising
irrigation project is now being
talked of, the conversation
along that line having been in
duced by the departure from
this place of a surveying party
yesterday morning.
The plans of this proposed
new company include the con-
struction of two reservoirs at
the head of Castle Creek and of
Birch Creek, and the storage of
water at these points sufficient
for the irrigation of over 10000
acres of excellent land. 1t is
understood that Harry Wat
kins, the we'll known real estate
man of this city, will have the
selling of the company's land
and water, when it is placed
upon the market.

EIAMMETT SAYS
BOOM KING HILL
Land and Water Company 0perat-
ing Out Of Malad River An
nounce Change Of Plans.

Ben Fl. Hammett of the King
Hill Land and Water company,
which is now engaged in the
construction Of an irrigation
system to cover the land across
the river from Glenns Ferry
and King Hill stations, has an
nounced the intention of the
company to change its plans for
the development Of this section
to this extent, that the town OF
Glenns Ferry will not be the
center of their operations, but
on the contrary the company
will build up a brand new town
in the vicinity of what is now
known as King Hill station,
which is located at the foot and
on this side Of King Hill and
directly opposite the great body
of the land to be irrigated. In
evidence Of this change of plan,
Mr.. Hammet stated that the
company had just purchased a
tract Of 160 acres of land at
King Hill from Fred W. Fricke.
During the past year D. H.
Bandy, in the interest Of the
company, has secured options
on a great part of the property
at Glenns Ferry with the
avowed intention Of getting
ready for a boom at that place,
Up to the present time, howev-
er, none OF these options have
been surrendered and some of
the knowing one at the Ferry
take this fact as an indication
that the company has not al
together abandoned its original
plan. People at the Ferry,
moreover, are watching with
considerable interest the move
ments of the Twin Falls sur
veyors, and it is freely predict

TWIN FALLS TRYING
FOR HIGHER LEVEL
Surveying Crew Completes Work
on Proposed Canal Line
Above Mountain Home.

The party of surveyors be-
longing to the Twin Falls-North
Side Land and Water Company
that has been working in the
vicinity of Mountain Home for
the past two weeks, has finished
it's work in the immediate
neighborhood for the present,
but the people in charge are
evidently not quite satisfied
with the work. At any rate
the party has returned to the
place of starting from this side
of King Hill Creek, and is now
engaged in trying to run a new
level a little higher up than the
one just completed. The route
already laid out is perfectly
feasible, it is stated, but if the
higher line can be worked out,
the amount of land that will be
covered by the ditch will be
considerably increased. This
continued activity of the Twin
Falls people has had the effect
to make local observers wonder
concerning the meaning of the
semi.official denial of any in
tention on the part of the Twin
Falls people to extend their
work to Mountain Home.

ideal candidate for the presidency
one that is as certain of election az
his nomination was foregone con.

given it by President Roosevelt, ii
would be mistake to assume that
his popularity with the masses
rested upon that alone. He had
already attaihed great prominence
upon the federal bench when Pres.

chaos, involving many intricate
questions in the settlement of
which the highest order OF diplo.

ticularly to the Pacific coast, is 20.

Secretary Taft has been the pres.
ident's chief adviser in those great
movements for the relief OF the peo
pie from unjust discrimination in
railroad rates and com binations of
capital in restraint OF trade. In
continuing these policies which
have given the Roosevelt admins.
