TO HAVE WATER
BY SPRING.
Work Of Construction Will Be
Pushed to Completion as Rap
idly as Possible.

The settlers on the Castle Butte
project of the Snake River Land
& Irrigation company, located 38
miles directly south of Boise on
the north side Of the Snake river
between the mouth of the Bru-
neau river and Swan Falls, will
use electric power at the lowest
rate ever known in the world, ac-
cording to an amendment of con-
tract granted by the state land
board at Saturdays session.
This rate is ~ per acre per
year, pumping charges, up to the
tenth year, when the rate changes
to five-eighths of cent per kilo-
watt hour, which is practically the
equivalent Of the first rate, except
that it puts the power on meter
basis after the tenth year.
The rate astonished the mem
bers Of the land board. 1t seem
ed inconceivable that the COM
pany could be able to furnish elec
tric power at such low rate. 1t
was explained, however, that this
rate gives the power to the set
tiers at cost; that the
company expects to make the
money out of its irrigation system
and the lands on the rich tract.
1t was further explained that the
rate is made possible because the
company only has to charge that
much for turning the power into
the stations. Nevertheless, when
it is remembered that the rate for
electricity in most cities runs
from 10 cents to IL cents, and in
some places as high as Is cents, as
in Boise, the rate of the Castle
Quite project seems almost won
derful
1t developed that the Snake
River Land & Irrigation company
is going ahead with it's project
and will push the construction
work to completion as rapidly as
possible. 1t means the expenditure
of about $l,000,000 and great
deal of this money will be spent
right here in Idaho and much of
it in Boise. The company is pre-
pairing to deposit a $4,000 bond
to put water on that land next
spring, and negotiations are be-
ing carried on between the com
pany and numerous prospective
settlers. Many Mountain Home
people are inter sted.
Perhaps few projects in the
west have attracted so many peo-
pie from so many different states
as has this one. Darwin NJ. In

wealthiest bankers in South Da-

cern, a.d many Dakota people
have become interested and have
taken up land.
The company is preparing to
prosecute a great advertising cam
paign throughout the country and
thousands of new residents will
be gathered to Idaho as a result
of the striking methods of de-
velopment used by h. G. Crocker,
the vice president of the company
who is also resident manager.
1t is said that although tn re
are larger projects, none is richer
than the Castle Butte tract. 1t

Ballantyne Of the association SAD
last night: "There is excellent
chance of good prices for wool
and mutton this year.
1.-THE past winter was severe
and the summer dry, but this
fall is most promising and con
ditions are good.
Owing to the poor conditions
of the winter and summer range
there was 20 per cent shortage
of sheep over last year.
Many shipped out early be-
cause of the dry season. The lamb
ing was extremely light owing to
adverse conditions.
Because of all these facts we
are expecting very good price
for mutton and wool this season.
The wool market is good at this
time.
The question of the forest re-
serves will be thoroughly discus
sed at the Boise meeting, and Ow-
ing to the developments which
have taken place and the various
changes in officers in the depart
ment, many questions of interest
will be brought up at the meeting
