Cheap Power on Minldoka Project.

A. P. Davis, chief engineer of
the reclamation service, accompan-
led by w. n. Sanders, consulting
engineer, William Vandenhenvel,
electrical engineer, and ]. G. Camp,
project engineer, arrived in Burley
Tuesday afternoon from the big dam
west of Mindioka where they went
early in the day to inspect the site
for machinery and pumps soon to
be installed for the south side irri-
CATION system.
In the evening the gentlemen
met a number of the representative
citizens of Burley at the Bulletin
office and engaged in an informal
talk regarding the possibilities of
the Minidoka project. In his re-
marks during the evening Mr..
Davis stated that the Minidoka pro-
iect would be in a class distinct
from other government projects in
that it would be provided with an
nestle purposes. The big plant to
be installed at the dam site will
generate 10, 600 horse power. Dur
ing a greater portion of the year
this power will not be required fer
pumping purposes and the govern
mcnt proposes to dispose of it to the
residents OF the project for light
ing, heating and power purposes at
nominal cost, the proceeds derived
from this source to be diverted to
the use Of the project. Mr.. Davis
said that the government would be
able to sell this power for heating
purposes during the winter months
at less cost than fuel could be pur-
chased here and for use in operating
farm machinery it could be pro-
cured much cheaper than any other
power.
