iigation than all the previous five
thousand years in this world-old
practice. Not like the application
of steam or electricity, which are
natural laws only now defined or
harnessed, for no new thing has
been learned in irrigation since the
desert swallowed up the vast, fertile
irrigated fields of Babylon and AS
syria. But for all these ages the
knowledge clambered to waken and
break in a mighty movement within
the memory of children yet in
school.
1t need hardly be restated that
this going back to the irrigation OF
the ancients. which in the last two
decades has brought such undream-
ed of marvels to Egypt and India,
the home of irrigation, has found
more opportunity, has made more
growth in Idaho, than any where
else on earth. 1t is fact, like the
axioms of math ematics, and to prove
1t were wasted time. What it means.
and just where and how it is done
Is more worth while.
In Idaho there is close to l 5 .000,-
900 acres of arid land, more or less
possible to water. all more or less
in need of irrigation. There are ir-
rigated fields 5000 feet above sea
level-higher than any mountain in
America east of the Missouri--fields
where only the hardest crops can
be grown. yet even here il pays,
and there are fields only 700 feet
above the sea where the sun shines
as a furnace, and the thirsty soil
and the thirstier air drink the water
from the canals like the Mighty
Thor drinking at the flagon of the
giants.
Between these two extremes may
be found the 100000 acres of ir-
rigable land; an empire with a
range of products and conditions
that could please almost any type.
On the high irrigated fields of the
Teton country, only the hardy grains
and grasses can stand the cold; on
the lower Snake river, at Lewiston,
almonds, peaches and almost ever
blooming roses grow in tropical pro-
fusion. Idaho irrigation is vast
agricultural department store, where
one can find anything, everything
that the heart could wish.
A world-famous military leader,
more remarkable for his success
than for his grammar, said that mill

acres to give every man, woman and
child in America ten bushels OF the
finest wheat ever grown almost all
the wheat the nation could eat.
If every person IN America were
TO eat three bushels of potatoes
year, Idaho could supply every one
with the product from two million
acres and have enough left for seed
and for replanting and for any pos
sible visitor from abroad.
Only one half of Idaho's irrig
able area is yet apportioned. yet it
is capable of producing all the ma
ton could eat of three of our great
staples. What more could the 9TH
er seven million acres raise?
There would be left most of the
land of highest productivity; for the
be at the medium and highest a1ti-
tudes where these crons thrive
best. The most marvellous fertility
is found at the lower attitudes,
where gardens and small fruits
would fill the market with almost
all the rest OF the nations food.
Such quantities of food as could be
produced on these lands can scarce
ly be comprehended-th are too
vast
Fanciful figures? Yes. 1t may
be years before they are realized.
Yet they are indeed far short of its
real possibilities. For irrigated
idaho grain should never produce
less than s25.00 per acre per year.
Idaho potatoes should never pro-
duce less than $4,000 ar acre
some pay several times as much
Idaho irrigated fruit is a practical
failure if it pays less than 100000
per arce per year. Some has paid
as much as $4,000 per acre in one
year. Idaho irrigated hay woud av-
erage better than s2500 per acre,
some alfalfa fields in hay and seed
have paid close to $4,000 per acre
in one year The value OF inten-
sively cultivated gardens anywhere
from S100 90 to sSG0.00 per acre
per year. Possibly an average of
Sl5G per acre would be conserva-
tive. this would bring three-quart-
ers of a billion dollars every year.

which men live, without which they
would die. Maybe we shall NOT

Sale of the Methodist church caused

DEATH OF J. WYNN DAVIS.
Passes Away Suddenly and PEACEFUL
Iy Tuesday.

J. Wynn Davis passed away sud
denly Tuesday morning at his
home in American Falls. of asthma.
He has been in poor health for
seyera, years but was no worse on
Tuesday morning apparently. than
he had been for long time, and not
so bad as he was many times last
winter. He attended the sale at
the dry farm on Tuesday Of last
week, where he probably caught
cold, but was around town as late
as Saturday last, apparently as well
as usual.
D. W. Davis went to the home of
his father Tuesday morning to
see him and found him in as cheer
ful mood as usual. He jokingly
remarked he would have to pass
away scme time, but was not ready
to go yet When his son left he
asked what was the hurry, and on
being told that a couple of men
were waiting to have some business
transacted. said, "all right"
The business matters which did
uot require more than an hour,
were not concluded when Mr.. Davis
was called to the bed side of his
laAutIs anu lVQlu llHi uHtDllSAiOQos
and he passed away in less than
two hours.
Funeral services were held at
the home of the deceased at 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning, and
the body, accompanied by Arthur
and Miss Maud Davis and their
mother, was taken to Dawson Iowa,
for interment.
J. Wynn Davis was born in New
South Wales in 184S, lacking but
two days of being 81 years and 2
months of age at the time Of his
death. He came to the United
States in 1874, settling in Iowa,
where he lived for twenty-five years
From there he went to Colorado for
six years and came here about three
and half years ago, locating on a
homestead adjoining that Of his son,
Arthur five miles west of town. On
account of poor health he moved
TO town a year ago last spring. He

That the Northwestern road will
ultim ately build through southern
Idaho is not only dream of new
town builders. but a fact admitting
of no dispute. Already the North
western has penetrated into the CEN
ter CT Wyoming, and steadily the
end of the track comes west. The
feasible route from the Wyoming
line is down through the Big Black
foot river country to Pocatello, or
else down the South Fork of the
Snake and trought Idaho Falls.
The Gilmore and Pittsburg line,
now in operation from a junction
with the Short Line in Montana to
Salmon City, with a branch from
that town to Challis, is supposedly
Milwaukee road. bound for Califor
MIA. Surveys have been completed
from Salmon down the river of that
name to the Washington line, and
from Challis through to Boise and
on down through southwestern
Idaho into eastern Oregon.
That development of Idaho thanks
to already excellent transportation
facilities, promises, however. to out
strip rail road development by the
Short Line in the next few years.
and that means more lines as en-
evitably as the SUMS setting means
night. Competing lines, each with
their feeder branches. makes for
speedy development, and Idaho.

resources as yet untouched, is watch

There is nothing mysterious
about irrigation. Given the law Of
gravitation, which makes water run
down hill TO seek its lowest level;
given the law of paint growth,
whereby fruits and grains ana flow

ti0ns OF water, sunshine and soil;

and the sower. and given the wa

would be almost as old. as we'll un-
