WAYNE DARLINGTON

Should you suddenly be placed in
a certain spot about twelve miles
south of Mackay in the Lost river
valley, you would doubtless rub your
eyes and gaze with wonder. A won
der borne of the thought you were
dreaming, and that in your dreams
YOU had come upon home such as
is often described in fiction, but sell
dom ever seen.
And this home we speak OF is that
of Wayne DarlingtOn's situated as
stated before, about twelve miles
south of Mackay, in the center or one
of the most beautiful garden spots
of this glorious inland empire. the
house is built of hewn logs, is large,
and is nearly surrounded with a
veranda of liberal proportions. IN
front and on all sides stretches a
beautiful lawn-a velvet carpet or
green grass. A grove Of trees shelter
this magic home from the chilling
blasts of the wintry winds and like
wise shade it from the screening
glare of the summer sun. Looking
from the veranda the eye is greeted
with vision that would make us all
poets if we were not such sordld

feet in height above the bottom of
the valley or gorge, the base being
900 feet wide and the top 200 feet.
1t has core of concrete extending
down to bed rock, and up to the top
of the dam. The material used for the
body of the dam is gravel taken from
the adjacent bluffs, and is of such a
nature that the sand and gravel be-
come cemented together into COM
pact form when exposed to water. A
large tunnel blasted out Of the solid
rock, and lined with steel and cement,
with giant cut-offs at the lower end,
enables them to draw water or con-
fine it at will, while a great spillWay
or overflow blasted out of the side Of
the mountain near the top Of the dam
will act as a safety valve to prevent
the water in the reservoir from rising
too high. The lake now forming above
the dam is submerging the valley
above, and the old site of Battle
Ground is a suitable place on which
to operate boats and pleasure craft.
has been made for fran
chise to operate boats and gasoline
launches, and to build summer re-
sorts on the shores of the reservoir.
The chief wealth of the upper val
lie or headwaters of the river, aside
from the reservoir and grazing lands,
is the mineral wealth indicated on the
map, and now being de-
veloped by prospectors in many
places.
The whole length Of the valley is
rich in agriculture, while the great
plains which the valley opens out
into, are capable of maintaining a
dense agriculture population, whose
staple crops would be those of all
eastern Idaho.

LOST RIVER TOWNS

The map shows the relative posi-
ton of the towns in the valley, and
their direction from the main line of
the railroad at Blackfoot, although it
is not carried out on the same scale
where it shows the lower course Of
the river and the great plains.
Mackay is a rich community at the
terminus of the Salmon River Rail-
road and connects with number OF
inland valleys by means of the stage
coach and automobile service of The
Mackay e. Central Idaho Stage Com
pany. The town has few hundred
people, an excellent water system, a
public park and village government
with no debts but money at interest
and plenty lying in the treasury.
Darlington is station laid out by
and named in honor of Hon. Wayne
Darlington, who has had much to do
with the development of the valley,
and is farming extensively at that
place. Something of his enterprises
in this connection are given elsewhere
in this edition, and constitute most
Interesting and profitable study.
Moore is situated in central po-
sition in the valley where there is a
large amount Of farming land. 1t is
good trade center, and efforts are
being made to make it the chief town
of the valley. 1t has a graded school
of four rooms, and employs the best
of teachers.
Arco is situated where the valley
widens out into a plain, and Is the
seat of operations for large part
of the territory in the new Carey
tracts that are being developed. Arco
has certain geographical advantages
that appeal to visitors, and the town
| has made a phenominal growth the
past two years. Public improvements
are being made, new roads construct
ed to connect the town with new lands
being opened to settlement, so that
distances are being shortened from
25 to 60 percent as compared with
the old roads laid out in the early
days.
! Arco has one of the richest school
districts, the territory being very
large, and crossed by railroad tele-
graph, and telephone lines that con-
tribute greatly to the taxable prop
erty.
Powell is a new town 45 miles out
from Blackfoot, and the distributing
point for large territory on the
Powell tract. 1t has a general mer-
chandise store and post office, and is
the seat of great volume of business
that has thrust itself upon the ener-
getic proprietor and his assistansts.
McColum is a town-to-be, now be-
ing surveyed and plated, and 1T il
soon to be opened toe purchasers. Il

Tabor, a switch "a miles out from
Blackfoot McCollum is 25 miles
northward from Tabor, on the east
ern side of lower Big Lost river. 1t
is to be a model city laid out as most
new towns are in the west, with sew
ers and water mains laid first, streets
graded next, irrigation next, and prep
arations made to make beautiful and
permanent homes as speedily as pos
sible after purchase of lots.
How Great Undertakings Start
To those who shrink from the task
of great enterprises, and those who
doubt that the pen is mightier than
the sword in accomplishing great
things, we wish to call attention to
the stupendous works hatmight have
been accomplished in irrigation and
reclamation if the men engaged In the
Civil war had only expended their en-
ergies in reclamation projects instead
of in works of death and destruction.
Seven hundred thousand men moved
at General Grants command, and yet
nothing tangible was produced. A
mere handful of men with steam
shovels and other modern implements
are building a work that will make
great plains yield up abundant har-
vests for generations to come, and this
achievement seems to have had its
beginning in a simple statement OF
possibilities published in the Makay
Telegraph in July, 1908. offered as
prediction Of what might be seen In
hut xryhinh ic nNlCA-
ly initiated in 1910. The article was
a subject of much favorable comment
and also much riducule at the time,
and was the beginning Of the "pana-
ma canal job now being pushed to
completion. A description of the com
pleted dam and system would be al
most a repetition Of the article writ
ten seven years ago by the editor or
this paper, and before any surveys
had been made.

the handiWork of man, trans

waste into the present fairyland. And
as you look across these beautiful
fields, just think OF their beauty,
don't try to compute their value In
mere dollars and cents, for the man
who can does not live-because you
must remember, this is the land Of
wonders-and the man who has been
performing some of these wonders
has not completed his self-set task,
and even he does not dare to guess
And the man we mean Is Wayne
Darlington.
And in telling of this home we
neglected to mention that in 1t are
all the modern conyeniences, seldom
found elsewhere than in cities. Steam
heat, running water, gas lighting
system, bath rooms and brick fire
places. Elegant furnishings all COM
bine to make the ideal home. 1t was
built before the railroad came. The
materials for it's construction were
hauled 80 miles from Blackfooc
across the desert. Its cost represents
comfortable fortune-yet 1t has
paid big dividends to the man who
built it because 1t is his ideal-every
thing that a home should be.
To get right down to hard facts
and cold figures We will say that Mr..
Darlington's ranch consists OF 25OO
acres of land, practically all improv-
ed, and we'll watered. He has his
own Independent water right. He

thoroughbred Lincoln sheep; 2oO
head of Durham cows, and of hogs
and pigs 900 head. And here let
us state that this is the home of the
mule foot hog-a breed that is abb
solutely immune from cholera.
AS you may have guessed, the vii
lage of Darlington was founded by
Mr.. Darlington and in this as well as
in most oeher things with which he
has had anything to do he has his

Strange to relate Mr.. Darlington
does not expect his village to become
throbbing metropolis that will riv-
al all other western cities. He mere

will be a compact and model country

for water system which will soon be

intervening canyons and little valleys,
all sloping toward central portion

It's Original and Proper
Name was "Godin"
(By the Editor

What a pity the name used by
Washington Irving to denominate the
great mysterious twin rivers tioWlng
out on to the plains of The Three
Buttes," should have been exchanged
for the less beautiful and more repul-
siye name of Lost River
The name of the Godin river, har-
monious and sweet as that OF the
Garden of Eden, the Yellowstone or
the Yosemite, was forgotten as were
the early traders and trappers OF the
years of 1925 to '33, and in the search
for the golden fleece, it was named
again by those who followed its
course in vain where it flowed with in
termitent stream through vast leve
plain with illimitable vistas of fer
tile soil that held out no promise OF
minerals or furs or other means OF
immediate fortune to be realized for
the taking.
Taking a characteristic name as
they saw it from the lower course OF
the stream where it lost itself anc
found itself and was lost again and
later came to the surface like the
modern hobo without visib e means

thought of it and spoke OF it in keep

ing with it's leading role that finally
predominated and seemed, lost.
But the modern man is going to the
source of streams, to the FOUNTAIN
head rather than to the grave, and
he finds its various sources or begin
nings in such freaks of nature as are
seen in the accompanying picture of
great volume of water pouring from
the solid rock far up on the summit
of a barren peak--triumphant in its
defiance of the laws of gravity as
viewed from the surface, for it flows
on uninterrupted through all the hot
summer days, without snow or rain
above to feed it, and accounted for
only on the theory of a vast natural
siphon undertaking in unbroken sec
tions the grand canyon and stupend-
Gus mountains.
