BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
REPORTED ON THECARPET
Party Of Eastern Capitalists Spending Week In
specting Southern Idaho irrigation Enter
prises---New Segregation Prospect.

Mountain Home people are
greatly interested in the visit be.
ing made this week by a party
OF nine eastern capitalists, who
are taking considerable pains to
learn at first hand the results Of
the several Twin Falls irrigation
enterprises with a view to fur
undertakings along that line.
The party passed through here
Monday on No. 5, en- route to
Boise, and returned to Twin
Falls yesterday, staying only a
few hours in the capital city.
When interviewed at Boise, one
of the party stated to q States
man reporter that they are in
Idaho at this time to look into
the merits Of a new irrigation
project for southern Idaho, but
lie refused to give any details as
to the location or extent OF the
proposition. Local people, how
ever, feel considerably elated
over the prospect, for it is a well
known fact that the territory
around Mountain Home, COM
prising thousands Of acres OF
the finest land in the state, has
for some time been in the minds
of the Twin Falls promoters Is
the next large tract to receive
their attention. For some time

TO RRlCATE WITH
ARTESIAN WATERS
Oklahoma Millionaire Will Put
Down Six Inch Well on
Medbury Flat.

Ed A. Page, formerly of St.
Louis, who with his brother, a
millionaire oil producer in
Oklahoma, has acquired a con-
siderable quantity of land in the
vicinity Of Medbury during the
past year, has decided to put
down an artesian we'll on his
property, and will commence
operations the first of next
week. The drilling machine is
of the same make as that now
in use on the Helm & Chattin
ranch at Grandview, and is
guaranteed to 60 down 1000
feet.
The well will be drilled at a
point two miles southwest OF
the flowing well OF the O. S. L.,
at Medbury, and at an eleva-
tion 200 feet higher. Mr.. Page
states that competent engineers
have estimated that, Judging
by the flow of the railroad COM
pany's well, a six-inch well, like
that Mr.. Page proposes to drill,
will irrigate at least two hun
dred acres of land from its con-
tinuous flow during an irriga-
ton season, and If reservoirs
are provided to store, the win
ter flow, this acreage can be
largely increased Ii Mr.Page's
experiment proves a success,
there is no doubt that other
Medbury residents will have
wells drilled.

addressing a large gathering at First

Boston, followed by engagements in
New York and Chicago. I do not think
that am betraying any official secret
in telling you that Miss Anglin received
q letter from one of the greatest of
England's playwrights inviting her to
go to England next summer to take
the leading part in his new play now
being written. Coming events cast
their shadows before, and I am in
clined to believe that the day Is not far
distant when Margaret Anglin shall
have arrived at the enviable distinc-
ton of being able to enjoy an interna-
tional reputation.
while she is in Australia Miss Ang-
lin will appear as Katherine In THE

There is little doubt that Miss Anglin
is the coming woman of the American
stage. In her Australian tour she is
testing her mettle to an extent that
never was afforded her in this country,
and she is also filling the war chest.
AS a result the appearance as Lady
Macbeth, of which she has long
dreamed, is by no means so distant a
prospect now as it seemed six short
months ago.

After Artesian Water.

Ex-senator Tom Sumner, OF Ever
EFT, a man Of considerable wealth and
one OF the best known politicians OF
the sound country, has. with several
other Everett men, organized COM
pany to hold and develop land near
Mabton in the Yakima valley. The
company has acquired about 1900
acres above the bitches, and will at
tempt to reclaim 1t by means Of arte-
sian wells. They have bought an out
fit and will go down until they find
flowing water, provided 1t is to be had
within reasonable distance of the
surface.
"This Yakima proposition looks
pretty good to me-" said the sena-
tor to the Republic Monday, "and we
expect to realize a handsome profit
out of our enterprise"
Most people familiar with the con-
ditions believe artesian water can be
had at Mabton. Several attempts have

Pheasants Domestlcated.

Game Warden Mullen has been In
vestigating report from the Moxle
that a rancher there had captured
pheasants In his possession, says the
Yakima Republic. This report he
found to be incorrect, though the
rancher, ]. LeGasse, had number of
pheasants, and Mr.. Mullen was glad
to see them. The rancher, in work.
Ing over field which had been neg
lected last year. found two pheasants
nests. In each there were 16 eggs.
The birds having been frightened
away by the workmen, the rancher
took the eggs home and placed the
whole lot under one hen. In few
days IA pheasants hatched and the
hen then left the nest with the young
ones and, Of course, abandoned the
other eggs. This means that one
batch of eggs was fertile, as the other
batch was too, but they were not OF
the same age, and there being no Sec
ond hen available, one brood was lost.
Those that hatched we're getting along
nicely and seemed to take to the do
mestic conditions and their barnyard
mother. The rancher was very much
interested In the birds and their well
fare, so as a matter OF policy was
encouraged.
