Medbury, Nov. 1S.-Those who
have examined the water resources
intended for the irrigation of the now
celebrated King Hill tract of land are
struck first of all with the enormous
supply of water that is at the COM
mand of the settlers on the newly
opened tract of land. Perhaps in
no other place in the west is there
water supply sufficient for 65, OOO-
acres conserved and appropriated to
supply Is, 900 acres of land, but this
is certainly the case on the King Hill
tract. The Malad river, on which
the King Hill Irrigation and Power
company have sole rights, was in
tended to water more than the King
Hill tract, however, as it now devel-
ops. The water that leaps from the
springs along the Malad in such plen-
titude is to be brought to the shelter
ed land in Medbury valley if present
plans come to maturity. Just how
soon will depend upon the action of
the present landholders in the valley,
who, in order to come under the bene-
fits of this irrigation system must
place their land under the Carey act
provisions, in order that the King
Hill company may be able to extend
to them the ten year payment plan
in selling water rights. The laws of
Idaho give to those who so relinquish
land to be placed under the Carey act
the absolute first right to make Car
ey act filing to an amount not ecxeed-
! ing 100 acres upon such land so relin-
pushed. 1t is necessary that the land
in the valley be placed under the pro-
visions of the Carey act to enable the
irrigation company to get proper Sc
curity for the water rights which it
will sell on long time. In turn the
rights of the water right purchasers
will be protected by the bond which
the company must execute to the state
guaranteeing the completion of the ir-
rigation works and the delivery of the

that water may be diverted from the

this proposed system of irrigation
there must be united action on the
