rest of the trainload were from diff

ONE MILLION FOR IDAHO
Funds Available for Reclamation
(POcatello Tribune)

Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Ballinger, under authority conferred
by the President, in recently appor-
tioning funds for irrigation work in
Idaho, has set apart $1,000,0O0 to
begin construction on Arrow Rock
dam ON the Boise river, which is
to form the main storage reservoir
of the Payette-Boise project. This
dam is estimated by the engineering
board to cost $5,159,OO0. 1t will be
a masonry structure, 31S feet high
and will raise water to a level of
212 feet, creating reservoir of 1907
600 acre feet capacity, ample TO meet
the estimated needs of the project.
The board agreed with the recla-
nation engineers that the dam at
Arrow Rock would be cheaper and
more efficient than one at any other
available site.

to it so that you could give the public

sired. | have noticed this article in a

saw it, it was credited as coming
from a North Yakima paper. We
are receiving scores of letters and in
quiries regarding it and people seem
to want to believe that the law under

when as a matter of fact, the law is
the same as it has been for many

same as previous circulars relative to
married women making homestead

certain particular circumstances, and

We take the following from a cir
cular of the department of the inter-

reefs the error made:

the other qualifications of home
