$83, $50, 900


This total of about $85, 900, 600
presents the initial cost of only few
of the most widely known projects.
There are many others not less than
20 in Blaine county alone-in which
sums vary from $40, 600 to over a mill
lion dollars are invested. Besides the
initial cost of each project is really
its smallest, as the cost of laterals
to each acre exceeds that incurred to
bring water to the individual head
gates. If, then, the initial cost of the
main canals and laterals completed or
in process of completion already ex-
ceeds $1oo, 600, 600, it is evident that
the cost of completing the work to the
point where the individual user can
turn it into his bitches at will, will
be fully as much more.
This being admitted it will likewise
be conceded that in view Of the vast
area in Idaho of semi arid land to be
covered, and the engineering diff
culties to be conquered, an expendi-
ture of fully ONE BILLION OF
DOLLARS will be necessary. .-Ex.

BILLION DOLLARS
FOR IRRIGATION
The lmmenSiiy Of irrigation Projects
in the State of Idaho Told
In Figures

Few persons even through news
paper writers have any conception of
the magnitude that the irrigation in
terests in the state of Idaho are as
suming. With evident trepidation,
as if walking on very thin ice, a
writer-as in the May Pacific Month
ly, for instance ce-ventures to mention
ten or even twenty millions of dol
lars as the combined cost of the irri-
cation systems of Idaho. But no
one seems to have taken the trouble
to inform himself of the approximate
amount by going to the fountain head
the State Land Experimentation
specific information on this phase of
the subject.
Yet only few minutes considera-
tion by one who has kept track of the
developments in this line are neces-
sary to the conviction that several
times twenty millions of dollars must
be expended before the projects al
ready under way in Idaho can be COM
pleted. Some of the most widely
known of this acreage to be re-
claimed, are projects on

 Col.

 Of th T. c. N Go, Cd. Murphy stated the situation here vas being directed tn extensive operations and the district reclaimed in earnest. The first instsll'usnt Of the tw., big ad- ditinnsl pumps and air compressor will arrive not later than Wednesday :. rher re Sill e no ialtrring in the work outlined and the future prospects nev CT hrig ter Tombstone.
 The plan for sn triz 'Ua road from Silver Bell to deep water is receivin 2 considerable attention from Col Nur- phy, this far seeing and eminentiy successful railroad builder. observing the logic, ,i s.qrence of .uch line aud its vast benefit to Arilpns. Col Murphy sites plans gre being con sid 'r-d W th reference to this import. ant pr"i-ct and # is not improbable that Ariznns may lave a deep water nutler 50 thu Guli of Cal fnrnia less than 200 miles away very soon.

An Accident Mars

The reason the tall game was not pulled of yesterday b tween he Revenues of Tombstone and the G eesOn nine, Was t.e inability of the latter tam to reach here. It seems they were on the way to this city when the automobile in which they Were riding was overturned, snd the entire party was hurled in'o a ditch. Two of the men were imprisoned in the wreck and when they were liberated from their perilous situation, 1t was then too late to late to proceed hitherward.
