NEWS OF CANAL
Many Bench Farmers Irri-
eating This Week.

This has been a busy week fol
the farmers on the bench. Fol
over a half of that tract water has
been available for irrigation, and
the man with the shovel has been
very much in evidence. A foot OF
water is running as far as Sand
Hollow. There a fill is being
made, which will be finished by
Saturday night, when the balance
of the canal will receive its bap-
tism. The entire system will be
in operation by May Is.
The south side branch fellows
will get theirs Saturday night, and
it's dollars to doughnuts that some
of them will break the Sabbath by
turning in little moisture onto
their land just to satisfy themselves
that the long expected water is
really there. This branch is Is
miles long and extends to John
Moulton's S farm on the south slope,
about four miles below Freezeout.
The ditch is four feet wide on the
bottom and will carry a large
volume of water. Two crews are
at work there. The force of car
penters which has been working
on the main ditch will be moved |
to the south branch today and will |
get busy with the fumes.
There is no sign of a let-up in
the work. Engineer Wilkie yes
teIday hired so additional men and
80 more teams. and they started to
work this morning. This makes
a working force of rs men and so
teams. Besides these there is
crew of Is concrete workers, under
the superintendency of Harry
Kelly, who Mr.. Wilkie says is
most competent man for that job.
They will be engaged all summer
long in putting concretefoundations
under all the flune supports. Inly
doing this work, excavation will I
be made to solid rock, upon which
a concrete base two feet thick will
be placed. Nine stringers, each
composed OF two 8 by II timbers t
bolted together, underlay the struc- t
tures and form most secure foun- 6
dation. Most of these fumes how 2
rest on earth foundations. 7

Thunder City People Work
ing for Electric Line

The Thunder City Commercia'
Club. represented by F. S. Loeue,
a prominent merchant Of that place,
and r. M. McCracken were in
this section few days ago. to
work uS interest in an electric
railway from Emmett up the water
grade of the Payette river to
| Smiths Ferry and on through the
rich agricultural section of Long
valley to Thunder City.
Mr.. Logue brought considerable
data with him relative to the Long
valley country. showing that it
covered an area of $50, 600 acres of
fillable land, of which IL, 600 is
now in actual cultivation.
The strongest argument, how
ever. brought forth. is the fact that
the famous Payette lakes are sit
uated at the head of the valley and
there is no more delightful place
In the country to spend a summer
vacation and it is believed that if
road were built to Thunder City
large portion of the people who
now spend their summers on the
coast. could easily be induced to
summer at the lakes, where they
could be joined occasionally by |
other relatives at a small expense,
and not necessitate the business
man from leaving his business over
a few days.
1t is also estimated that 400 cars
of grain would be shipped from the
valley the first season and the
amount would swell to 5000 cars
per annum if the entire area were
in cultivation, while the valley
would fournish easily 5000 car
loads of hay. to say nothing of the
aour which would be shipped from
he mills and the cattle and hogs
which are shipped yearly to east
I'm markets.
Long valley is known as an
empire within itself - and dur
ng the last few years its great agri-
advantages have become

d in population from 300 in 1896
0 5000 inhabitants at the present +:
irne. and enough tillable land is :
vailable to support 100, 900 people
Mr.. Logue states that the local
lembers of the Commercial club
re very enthusiastic over the pro-
osed road and that the Thunder
.ity people will Nffer every posi- !
lie inducement for capitalists to
nter the field, which, besides the /.
atural advantages already men- !
oned, has many industries whicth !
re yet undeveloped because of the I
