they would ship east car containing
the 5000 jack rabbits.
They then announced that they
would pay cents each for jack rab-
bits, and the rest was easy People
turned out with all the shot guns they
could muster, and the 5000 rabbits
were delivered to the merchants by
the time they were ready to ship
them,
Each rabbit was racked in a separ-
ate package on which was printed
some advertising for the Jerome coun-
try, and the carcasses were packed in
neat crates, each holding three dozen.
This is said to be the first CONNER
cial shipment of rabbits that has left

aRUNEAU PROJECT FINANCED
BY BIG NEW YORK INTERESTS
Plans For Reclamation Of Six Hun
dred Thousand More Of ldaho's
Acres,

The mammoth Bruneau irrigation
project has been financed.
That is the word that reached
Boise yesterday from sources giving
it an impressiveness that cannot be
disregarded.
Just who is behind this gigantic un-
dertaking, involving the expenditure
of between $22,0OO,00O and $24,0O0, 900
according to estimates based on three
years of engineering, Is not divulged,
but the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co.,
is mentioned as also are the Kuhn
Loeb company and the Hartman it,
terests.
The Bruneau protest is the most
extensive irrigation enterprise to be
considered by private capital. There
are 100000 acres in the tract and
the land is declared to possess all
the virtues of the soil that has made
Idaho irrigated land famed all over
the nation. It is an extension of the
Twin Falls tract. II divided irto 100
acre tracts it would represent $3.50
farms. with a population of approx
imately $1,000 outside the towns that
will spring up in the young empire
The farming unit will be nearer 80
acres, however. doubling the figures
here given. This statement alone
furnishes some idea of the immense
importance to Idaho and the north
west Of this undertaking. The produc-
ing capacity Of the tract will over
whelm any estimator.
| It Is planned to convey water to
the Bruneau tract in a canal, carry
ing 5000 second feet, that will be so
miles in length and lined with con-
crete the entire distance to minim-
ize friction and prevent seepage. The
water viii be taken out at the Miller.

Another immense dam, designed to
provide reservoir capacity Of 2,000.'
