MERIT AT TWIN FALLS
HORTICULTURAL EMPIRE BEING
MADE or FERTILE LANDS.

Idaho shares with Utah the distinc-
ton of being a land Of great promise
according to members of the state land
board and Richard r. Lyman, professor
Of civil engineering at the University
of Utah. who recently returned from a
trip to Twin Falls and other Idaho
points
While greater interest has been mani
fest in large irrigation enterprises In the
Gem state during the past few years,
perhaps, than has been manifested in
Utah, at the present time the attention
OF capitalists interested In irrigation
projects is being directed toward Utah.
Many Of those who have operated sue
cessfully in Idaho in launching projects
for the reclamation OF hundreds of
thousands Of acres of land, are now
looking with favor on the arid lands
of Utah. Several big projects have
been started in this state as the result
or the success attending the efforts in
the sister state to he north.
The growth of the city of Twin Falls
has been such that the city was viewed
with amazement by members of the land
board and their companions Seven years
ago construction was begun on the irri-
CATION projects which have brought into
existence many thriving new cities the
principal one being Twin Falls. 1t is
ABOUT five years since the water was
turned into the canals of this irrigation
system.

situated in a gorge 900 feet wide. with
vertical cliffs Of volcanic rock 29G feet
high. This structure, which IL now about
one-third completed. Is being built of con-
crete. In the concrete, stones trying IN
size from three to six feet across are
buried in sufficient mum bers to form from
30 to 90 per cent of the total amount OF
material used. This dam. when fin
ished. viii be a monolith some 800 feet
long when measured around the arch 1t
forms. 1t will be 124 feet thick at the
bottom, IS feet thick at the top and will
have q height of 221 feet Four hundred
men men are at work on the project at this
time. and are putting in place 1900 cubic
yards of concrete each month. This dam.
when finished, will contain 1900 cubic
yards OF concrete, and viii cost s.. 300. 900.
The new railroad to JaFbidge will cross
the Salmon river on the dam.
According to Alex. Mcpherson, one Of
those who have been most successful and
enthusiastic in the promotion of ir-iga-
ton projects In the Twin Falls neigh
borhood, 1t is the Carey act that is re-
sponsible largely for bringing together a
combination of people with various views
and various characteristics. Under this
act colonization in the sense OF bringing
together people of one faith. or of one
mind, or of one kind. can not be accom-
plished.
The members of the land board were
so much pleased and surprised with what
has been accomplished in this new coun-
cial club at Twin Falls Saturday evening
they forgot for the moment apparently
the resources of their own state, and ell
spoke enthusiastically OF Idaho and its
marvellous growth.
The remarks OF the Utah men gave the
Idaho people at the same time an oppor-
tunity to reciprooate, for they in turn
dwelt largely in their remarks upon the
resources and advantages Of their sister
state, Utah. MIR. Perrine and Mr.. Nc
Pherson have both examined several Of
the irrigation projects in this state and
freely say that In very many respects con-
ditions here are better than they are IN
Idaho. Attention was drawn to the fact
that there is flowing TO waste today in
the Sewer IN Utah some 300 cubic feet
Of water every second, or q stream, II it
were to flow continuously during the ir~
rigating season, sufficient to reclaim no.
600 acres Of land, and If stored during the
other nine months of the year 1t Is SUI
ficient to irrigate $4,000 additional acres.
Attention was also drawn to the fact
that this same stream Of water, II used
upon the bench lands In Willard county,
where grapes, peaches and small fruits
OF the most delicate and valuable varie-
ties can be raised in abundance, that at

present this unused barren land can be
transformed into farms shat will produce
in crops from $500 to $1,000 per acre per
annum.
ION my RANCH" said Mr.. Perrine, lat
the Blue Lakes, from three acres of sp-
Pile orchard / have taken S,039 bushels Of
apples in one season, and from this same
ranch l have raised 904 crates of Con
cord grapes per acre, valued at from 81
to $150 per crate, and the conditions IN
the neighborhood of Oak City, Holden and
Fillmore in Willard county are as good
certainly, II not better for raising fruit
than they are In Idaho. Then again,
continued Mr.. Perrine. through the cen
ter of Willard county there extends the
main line OF the San Pedro railroad, with
Los Angeles, and In fact. California, at
one end and Salt Lake City, with its
great demands for products. at the other.
while between in both Of these directions
are large and prosperous mining districts
Willie in Idaho the supply Of water IS
GREATER and therefore the amount Of land
1t is possible to reclaim is also greater,
conditions for raising valuable crops in
Utah are, II anything, better than those
in Ida no, and the market, which is as inn
portant as the crop Itself, is such that it
gives to Utah in this respect a great ad-
vantage

Ietary Of the Twin Falls Commercial club,
there was not telegraph pole where
our city is now located. IN fact there
was nothing there but sagebrush, Jack
rabbits and Bert PerrineS'
Today the city of Twin Falls Is situated
near the center of what is called the Twin
Rails south side tract. which comprises
10000 irrigated acres, The main canal
carrying water to this large tract is 81
feet wide in the bottom, 40 feet wide at
the surface OF the water and carries
water 10 feet deep. In this one tract there
are 100 miles Of main canal, LOCO miles of
lateral matntained nv the company
which ipaugurated this great system and
z,Ooo miles of laterals owned by the
farmers.
All these when considered in connection
with the additional fact that on all sides
OF this great enterprise and others In vari-
Gus stages OF development, some only Just
pleted, explains the marvellous growth of
the new project of irrigation, and the
city of Twin Falls. The principal irriga-

Where there was nothing Of q city five
years ago there Is wonderful city today
of 1000 people, where a large force of
men are busiiy engaged constructing as
phaltum and macadan pavements. cement
sidewalks, etc, where Salt Lake capital
combined with Idaho capital, is construct
ing a modern stone and steel structure,
for example, to cost not less than a
quarter Of a million dollars. There IL
completed the handsome and beautifully
equipped Perrine hotel, which cost $780,
900.
Two things have brought about this

tional legislation, known as the Carey act:
second, the spirit of hustle and daring
that has characterized the efforts Of Mr..
Perrine and his associates.

EORTY years ago when the old Walk

IMPROVEMENT AT FORT.
Post Being Made One of Handsomes
in Country.

Up around Fort Douglas just now
everything looks beautiful. Now that
spring is here in earnest there has been
a noticeable stride in Improvements.
Under the supervision of workmen the
barracks, tse officers quarters and the
dwellings in general are assuming a
neat aspect, while around the parade
ground everything is looking spick and
span. The ground formerly used for
drill purposes has been sodded. 1t is
the consensus of opinion that when all
the contemplated Improvements are
made at Fort Douglas that this post
will be one of the handsomest in the
country. The new barracks will be
ready in June. The two-story brick
buildings are already up, the roofs have
been laid, and shingling is completed.

years before this picture was taken a
big circus was held on this block, and
the Old-timers will recall that Tom Say

AUTO LINE IN CANYON.
Resort Promoters Consider Plan for
Fine Thoroughfare.

The highway running through Big
Cottonwood canyon is being put in
shape for summer traffic. Big Cotton
wood canyon is regarded as one of the
most picturesque outing places in the
summer months that can be found any
where in the state. The pretty little
canyon abounds with natural beauties,
while at the head is Brighton, the coy
summer resort This popular spot is the
rendezvous for hundreds of people from
Salt Lake during the months of July
and August. During last year many i'm
prOvements were made at the resort,
and more than twenty new cottages
were erected. The management this
season cOntemplates other improve
ments which will greatly add to the
general scenic beauty of the resort. The
highway leading up among tne crags to
Brighton is looked upon by many as a
good one, repairs being made every sea
son. 1t is said that an auto line will
be established through the canyon this
summer. The trip to the resort in an
auto can be made in less than two
hours

the senators listened attentively. but
gradually this attention ceased on the

remained in the chamber devoted
themselves to the printed copies before
them.
