Irrigation Projects.

The same company is also building a
thirty-hve-mile branch to reach what is
known as the Salmon Falls tract, which
will soon be irrigated at nenormous ex-
pense, and if what is known as the
Brunean project intended to reclaim
$4,000 acres Of land adjoining at a cost
of $25,OO0O0O, is actually undertaken, the
present line will be extended about fifty
miles farther westward into the SOUTH
western coratO of Idaho.
Along this seventy-three miles of track
are eleven distinct irrigating projects,
either completed or under construction,
and four others which have been planned
and will be undertaken shortly.
First comes the Mintdoka project of the
United States reclamation service, which
has already redeemed 10000 acres and
will be extended so as to redeem 60.OOO
more. at a cost of $1,000, 600.
The Goose Creek tract of 81 0o0 acres
has been irrigated by private corpora
tions at cost of S600000.
The Twin Falls project, upon which
more than s5.000,O0O has already been
spent, now irrigates 210.O0O acres on the
south side of the Snake' river and is be-
ing extended to reach $4,000 acres on

It happens that Governor Carroll is a

adopted the foolish resolution. al
though he was not present when the
action was taken. 1t is well known
that the radicals were much put out

would not help them, but he took the
