AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho, June % -
Especial to The Gazette) Southern
Idaho il going through the transition Of
a sagebrush waste to region of bt auti
ful homes and many prosperous towns.
For several decades it has been used
largely as sheep and cattle range, for
which it seemed specially adapted, but
the wonders of irrigation and the pos
sbilties OF dry farming have changed
the asprct Of affairs, and what was once
marked on the map OF ye olden time as
part of the Great American Desert :"
promises to be one Of the most fruitful
and beautiful sections belonging to the
realms OF Uncle Sam The sagebrnsh

that would be a credit to Spokane or
any city Of similar size. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ii. M. Hail, who formerly run the Hotel
Whitman in Colfax, cater to the wants
Of the public. A three story -four mill,
built OF stone, is conspicuous monu-
ment. The new high school building,
two stories and basement, constructed
of pressed brick and costing $25, 900,
tells of the growing demands for educa-
tional uses. Thrift, prosperity and
growth are in evidence on every side.
The town has patriotic citizenship. 1t
is blessed with wideawake commercial
club, and it may be we'll to keep your
eyes on American Falls and watch it
grow.
An Immense Dam Project.
Plans are in embryo to dam Snak
river just above town, forming back
water lake about 80 miles in extent. 1t
is too soon to give out particulars, but
as lar as outlined the project is expected
to cost several millions OF dollars, to
take at least three years in construction

ana TO give employment to 900 men.
The purpose is to store the waters of the
river during the freshet season. to be
released at the right time for irrigation
Uses at points below, it being one of
many schemes hereabOuts to irrigate
sagebrush lands. There seems little doubt
but the project will be carried to com

Falls and this part Of the state gene ally
can readily be understood, and is prob
ably a fectOr in the upbuilding Of the
town.
Dry Farming.
1t Is DOT worth while to diIate at this
time on what irrigation will do on sage
brush lands, as the evidences are on
every side showing the good results
coming from the right application OF
water. Wherever water touches the soil
IT is made to blossom as the rose. The
community known as NeeIey, four miles
below the falls. is beautiful stretch of
homes where fields OF alfalfa, orchards,
Lombardy pOplars and the products OF
the farm OF every kind is evidence OF
what water will do when applied to the
soil. n eley is Mormon community

PINCHOT TO. MEET WOOL MEN
Especial to The Sentinel.

Ogden, Dec. 29.-President Fred

association has notified the board of
control in charge of arrangements
for the convention that Clifford Pin
chot. chief forester. will attend the
convention to be held in Ogden and
will address the chief session of the
wool growers.
The invitation was extended to the
chief forester several weeks ago, but,
owing to numerous counter dates, he
was unable to accept. However, the
changing of dates of the foresters'
convention, so as to hold it practical
ly at the same time as the Wool
Growers convention. has made 1t pos
sible for him to attend.
