CENSUS FOR STATE SHOWS
INCREASE OF INDUSTRIES
Establishments In.
creased 361, or 90 Per Cent
in the Past Five Years.

The summary for the state shows
large increase at the census of
1909 as compared for that for 1904.
In the order of their Importance,
from a percentage standpoint, the
principal items rank as follows:
Capital, 234 percent; average num-
Der of wage earncrs employed dur
ing the year 169 per cent; value
added by manufacture, 167 per cent;
salaries and wages, 1855 per cent;
value of products, LAG per cent; cost
Of materials used, 144 per cent;
number of salaried officials and
clerks, 139 per cent; miscellaneous.
124 per cent; and number of estab-
lishments. SO per cent.
There were 275 manufacturing es-
adjustments in 1909 and 364 in
1904, an increase of 361, or 80
per cent.
The capital invested. as reported
in 1909, was $32,377 900, a gain of
s22,6S8,000, or 234 per cent, over
1000 in 1904. The average
capital per establishment was ap-
proximately $4,000 in 1909 and
$4,000 in 1904. In this connec-
quiry contained in the census sched-
ule calls for the total amount of
capital, both owned and borroyed,
invested in the business, but exclude
the value of rented property, plant,
or equipment which was employed
in the conduct of manufacturing en-
terprises. In the final bulletins and
reports, the rentals paid for such
property will be shown separately.
The cost of materials used in 1909
was 1920, 900, as against 81, 4,O69,-
600 in 1904, an increase of $5,S51,
600 or 144 per cent. The average
per establishment in 1909 was ap
proximately $4,000, and in 1904,
$4,000. In addition to the COM
ponent materials which enter into
the products of establishments for
the census year there are included
fuel, rent of power and heat, and
mill supplies. The cost of materials
however. does not include unused
materials and supplies bought either
for speculation or for use during
a subsequent period.
The value of products in 1903
was s22, 900 and $S,769,O0O in
1904, an increase of $13,710, 900, or
156 per cent. The average per es-
tablish ment was approximately $31.-
600 in 1909, in 1904 it was about
$24, 900.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year, and
does not necessarily have and rela-
ton TO the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head al
so include the amount received for
work done on materials furnished
by others.
The value added by manufacture
represents the difference between
the cost of materials used and their
value after the manufacturing pro-
cesses have been expended upon the
and they become products. In 1909
the value added by manufacture was
$12, 900, an increase of 167 per
cent over 1904.
The salaries and wages in 1909
amounted to s6,439,00o an increase
Of 166 per cent.

ARE NEEDED TO
TEACH IRRIGATION.
Pacific Builder and Engineer Calls
Attention to the Lack of Know
ledge Among Irrigators.

AICen1On 10 the Lack of Know
ledge Among Irrigators.
An interesting feature has de-
veluped in connection with the re-
clamation of the arid wastes of the
west by the United States govern
r1ent and by private corporations.
Behind these expensive projects that
are placing millions of acres of land
open to profitable settlement has
stood the financial strength of the
! government, and the assets of the
financial kings of the east.
This financial equipment would
nave amounted to naught had there
not been competent engineers to di-
rect its use. These competent engi-
heerS were those whose experience
in this same work had taught them
The solution of the problems pee
uliar to the reclamation work. To
assist them young and technically
trained men were pressed into the
service until now the government
organization, designated as the re-
clamation service, under the de-
partment of the interior. is the most
remarkable group of expert irriga-
ton engineers in the world.
To finance these large reclama-
ton projects required the spending
of millions of dollars, which trained
bankers collected and expert ac-
countants disbursed
To ascertain the climatic condi-
tions of the locality, the character
OF the soil, the feasibility of the
project, the area of the water shed,
the capacity Of the streams; to de-
termine the location of dams and
compounding reservoirs, the grades
sizes and direction of main bitches
and laterals; to assemble materials
and superintend the construction on
these projects has required the
group of especially trained engi-
neers referred to above.
When the financiers and engineers
have done with the practical ends of
their work there yet remains the
tilling of the soil, without which the
project could not be counted sue
cess. ~,
To these limitless acres that have
rapidly been laid open to the warm
th of the sun and the life of the
eternal springs have come long
procession of easterners chasing the
Tdlu DOW VI tuC pIOAO
They have come thinking that the
flood gate has only to be opened,
and leaning on their hoe they can
watch the Transformation of sun
shine and water into golden stores
and automobiles.
Irrigation farming is an intricate
sciece that must be studied, master
ed and applied. The destinies of
thousands of farmers in the irrigat-
ed districts of the west are swing
ing between the threads of know
ledge and ignorance. 1t is to hold
these to their newly adopted homes
in the west, by making them profit
able that the Idaho legislature has
memoralized congress for centrally
located institute for the purpose of
training the future occupants of the
arid lands the science of irrigation.
This is a splendid move and Idaho
should be assisted in her initiative
by all other states having reclama-
tion projects within her borders.

1t is just beginning to dawn upon

that the general appropriations mad
by them will beat the general ap-
propriations of two years ago by
$1,000 day for every day of the en-
tire two years-1911 and 1912.
The excess of appropriations for
general purposes made by the legis-
lature that just closed is $709.-

count the amount appropriated and
provided for by bond issues, such as
the $3.50, 900 bond issue for the cap
itol or the many bond issues for
buildings, bridges and roads. Neither
does it take into account the large
amounts that will be expended in
the two years from the special trust
funds as provided for by law. The
grand total for the two years, it Is
asserted, will go well above $4,000,

MONEY PLEDGED
FOR RAILROAD
$500 Subscribed at Meeting
in American Falls.
Good Boost Given Electric Railway
Stock Subscriptions at Pub
lie Meeting Held Here Mon
day Evening Last.

AS a result of meeting held at
the office of the Snake River Valley
Land company Monday evening,
gu inscriptions to the fund for the
building of the railroad to Rockland
we're increased by $3.50 in a very
few minutes. E. e. Earring called
the meeting to order and explained
its purpose, calling upon a number
OF leading citizens for a free ex-
preston of their views. l.. L..
Evans said that under the form of
contract put out by the company the
people could lose nothing. Sub
.scriptions, he said, were not due un-
til the road was completed to
Rockland, and when that was done
the benefits would be so immediate
and substantial as to make the pay
ments amount to nothing.
r. B. Greenwood said the bene-
fits that would come from the build
ing of the road would be great en-
ough to warrant every endeavor on
the part of American Falls people
and those living along the line that
could be put forth. Others talked
along the same strain, and D. w.
Davis suggested that a committee
be appointed by the chairman to
Immediately begin soliciting sub
scriptions. R. B. Greenwood, L. L.
Evans, D. w. Davis, w. s. Sparks
and w. T. Oliver were appointed.
The committee retired for a few min
utes and prepared a heading and
before the meeting adjourned had
secured subscriptions OF about $1,000
Since then these have been increased
to $3.50. The Fall Creek Sheep
company headed the list with $25OO
L. L. Evans came next with $1,000.
In addition to his cash subscrip-
ton, the Evans Townsite company
gave a free right of way. The
authorizations ara ac follows.
