RESERVOIR FOR
NORTH SIDE
STATE LAND BOARD APPROVED
CONSTRUCTION OF BIG
WATER RETAINER.
Half Million Dollars To BE EN-
pended, So That During the Low
Water Period the Snake River
May BE Entirely Ignored.

Plans were approved by the state
land board on July % for the largest
reservoir yet contracted for by the
state for irrigation or for any other
purpose. The arrangements made
between the Twin Falls North Side
Land & Water company and the state
board call for the building of res
eryoir six miles northeast of the
town of Jerome having a capacity
Of over 10000 acre feet of water,
at cost approximately of 100000.
This reservoir viii cover 5000 acres
of land to an average depth Of 20
feet, and is intended to insure the
water supply for lands on the norm
side tract in the vicinity of Jerome,
Wendell, Gooding, Bliss and Ticeska.
The engineers have spent three
years in the study of the problems
connected with the construction Of
reservoirs and have finally decided
upon the present development.
The records now in the state en-
gineer's office show that in five or
six years out Of 20, an additional
supply for use between July 10 and
September 20 is necessary on
the North Side project. During
normal years, no reservoir is re-
quired, but in order to safeguard the
water supply against the five or six
low water years that may occur in a
period of 20 years, the company
is providing a reservoir large enough
to irrigate the lands under it for the
entire period without regard to the
use of water from Snake river at all
The effect on the North Side pro.
ject can hardly be over-estimated

and does not call for any long trans
mission from distant points.
Contracts have already been let fo
the construction of the work. whicl
viii commence Immediately Thu
work Will be completed by Decembe
and will cost approximately $500,

The contract provides that settler
on the North Side tract shall hay
preference in the doing of the worl
and that the hay and grain from tn
North Side tract shall be used as ia
as possible.
This large amount Of money eS
pended for labor and supplies viii
make the North Side project one O
the most prosperous in the west AN
the building of this enormous resei
voir will make land values more tina
ever secure.
The company believes at the con
pletion of this reservoir that tn
