Users Association The Pioneer
Irrigation District Is domoclleI - u.
adobe Of questionable design, and pc
cu,iar appearance; the I'ayette Boise
Water Users AssD ,iA.;h lives with
the Pioneers; the Gem is carried in
the pockets OF c. S Faurot while the
archives of the Black Canyon are in
the head of Walter r. Cupp The
Tribune feels that now is the time to
erect an office building of suitable
size and character sufficient to acco-
modate the officers of these irriga-
ton enterprises. A suitable office
building could be built for not over
one hundred thousand dollars The
cost would not be felt by the people;
the appearance OF the town would be
enhanced; the officers of the projects
would be comfortable Accommodated
and everything would be the better
for the community at large The
Tribune can see no good reason why
these four companies should not erect
a palace of irrigation. Other uses
for the building Immediately. present
themselves Each of the districts
cou'd keep on display exhibits of the
products of its soil. This would GER
tainly inure to the profit and advan-
tage Of the real estate dealers The
real estate dealers must be taken care
Of as it is we'll known that they raise
the price Of the land. Messrs, Mad
| den & Bailey are just opening up
They are energetic men and we should
overlook no opportunity of helping
them along. Then there are Messrs
r F.. and W. A. Smith, the Canyon
Hill Development company and ]. S
| Harrington. They are splendid mer
doing their utmost to boost the pric,
of land. Then comes A. l. Myer.
and the A. l., Murphy company, fol
lowed by Woody, Hodson and a scor'
Of others. These men would find tn,
palace Of irrigatio ma great thing.
The 100000 office building f)r tn
irrigation projects would go we'll witt
a center of any size. We common,
the idea to the people directly inter
ested in hopes that they may see thei
way clear to adopt the suggestion a
an early day. The sooner the pro
per steps are taken the sooner tn
building will materialize.

The total estimated cost OF compile
ton Is therefore $10,S52,4S5.11. This
estimate contains an item for storage
on the headwaters of the Boise river
which is approximate only, as full
data regarding it have not yet been
obtained. Field parties are now at
work investigating various sites for
this storage. From the information
already gathered 1t is evident that this
work will be costly per acre foot OF
storage. 1t may also be remarked
that the storage required cannot yet be
definitely determined as the final ad-
Indication of the water rights on the
Boise river has not yet been made.
About s06 Per Acre.
II we assume that this total cost
is divided among $4,000 acres OF
land, the construction cost per acre
will be about S66, This expenditure
will be divided approximately equally
between lud bOApo AANVA SNSASSS SAN
the remainder OF the project, AS ;his
storage contemplates a capacity OF
l5O. 900 acre feet, It Is seen that II
will cost about SS5 or more per acre
foot. This high cost cannot be
avoided, because OF the unfavorabl'
condition for storage existing on the
headwaters of the Boise river.
No amount has as yet been fixed by
the reclamation service for the con
struction charge, but from facts de
veloped at the hearings and from in
formation received by the board dur
ing It's inspection, the board Is Of thu
opinion that the lands will be able t
bear the construction charge that ma
result from the completion of tn
r project with reasonable economy

filling Deer Flat reservoir; that there
Ia a 80 per cent loss in the lateral sys-
tenn above the reservoir and 80 per
cent loss in the distributing system
below the reservoir that seepage
losses are O5 acre-foot per month for
each acre of submerged area in the
Deer Flat reservoir; that evaporation
losses equal 5:33 acre-feet for the
entire year; and that the rainfall is
not considered. Based on these as
SYMPTOMS and on the measured dis
charges of the river, there is available
for storage on the headwaters not
less than 100000 acre-feet.
If a storage of 10000 acre-feet is
provided, sufficient water would be
available for the project seven years
out of ten, and for the remaining three
years in only one, 1905, would the
deficiency have been serious, and
even for that year the lack of water
would not have been sufficient to have
prevented fair crops being grown. On
account Of the high cost of this stor-
age, reservoir capacity beyond this
amount does not seem warranted.
Lands to Be Benefited.
The average elevation of the irrig-
able area is $500 feet above sea level,
and the average rainfall is about Is
inches, an amount too small to per-
NIT successful dry farming in this
locality. AT the present time the dis
tribution system is capable of deliV-
ering water to 1888 acres. OF these
10s,33S acres, comprising 1887 farm
units, are new land. There remain
652 farm units, comprising an area OF
$500 acres, for which the distrtbu-
ton system is not completed. Dur
ing the present season 10000 acres
were irrigated, of which $4,000 acres
are under the New York canal, re-
ceiving water under agreement de-
scribed below, and 10000 acres were
new lands. OF the $4,000 acres, S5,-
500 are entered subject to the rec
lamation act, 3O,O59 are state lands
and 127,13O are private lands.
Cost Of the Project.
The expenditures on this project to
June 80, 1910, have been $3,4O4,S27.1S
The estimated additional cost to com
