THE LESSON OF '76.

The latter day historian would have
us believe that the heroes OF '76
weren't so much after all. Washing
ton was land grabber, Franklin 8
morals were not any too good, Gates
was patriot for what there was In
1t, Hamilton was an imperialist, JEFF
ferson was demagogue, and SO on
down the list, II we are to believe the
iconoclasts of the day, the fathers
OF the republic we're pretty disrep-
utable lot and not one whit better
than corrupt politicians OF the pres
ent. Self-interest Is the least of the
unworthy motives charged against
the men whose act we celebrate to-
morrow.
Without wasting time in arguing
any of these questions, 1t is well to
reflect on just one trait of character
that has not yet been assailed, and
that is the fearlessness of the men
who signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence Having resolved that the
colonies were and of right ought to
be free and independent, the congress
made its declaration without any
hedging or lodging. There was no
fear of the Irish vote, or the German

TO IRRIGATE 500, 900 ACRES
The Twin Falls-Bruneau, Idaho's
Greatest Project Will Soon
BE Commenced

The Twin Falls Bruneau project for
which a segregation was applied last
fall, contemplating the reclamation of
approximately $4,000 acres of land,
is not only to be revived but 1t was
learned yesterday that construction
work will in all probability commence
within four months. The acreage,
however, Is to be reduced to 100000
acres and the segregation amended to
take in an area Of land, 1t is said, to
the north of the original tract. The
land included lies in Twin Falls and
Owyhee counties, between the Salmon
and Bruneau rivers, the project at
places border the Bruneau project on
the east.
The great main canal of the origi-
nal Twin Falls project will be en-
larged so as to carry a volume of
water sufficient for the reclamation
OF the additional acreage, two thirds
larger than the original Twin Falls
tract, the point of diversion for all
the water to be at the Miner dam.
The plans contemplate chain of
storage reservoirs for the conserva-
head of the Snake river valley.
The project is to be constructed
by F. H. Bull and his associates, or
the capitalists interested In the origi-
nal Twin Falls project, Mayor Fred
T. Voight of Twin Falls to act as sec
rotary of the constructing company.
Plans for financing the undertaking,
1t Is stated, are we'll under way and
the matter will be again taken up
with the state land board In the near
future.
The engineering feats attendant
upon the construction of the project
will be among the most difficult ever
ATTEMPTED in the northwest, includ-
ing much siphon and tunnel work.
The Salmon river canyon will be
crossed at point where 1t Is from
200 to 800 feet in depth, requiring
system of inverted siphons to con-
duct the water from the canal from
one side to the other. This crossing,
1t Is estimated, will alone cost al
most $1,000,000.
The proposed extension of the
Minidoka branch of the Oregon
Short Line westward from Buhl,
across Owyhee, following the south
bank of the Snake river, and con-
Meeting with the Short Line at a point
In Canyon county, has 1t Is stated,
depended upon the final decision to
construct the Twin Falls-Bruneau
project. Several crews of engineers
are now in the field In that section
and are said to include representa-
tiyes OF both the construction com
pany and the railroad.
