Arrow Rock, in the Boise river can

reclamation service has begun the gi-
gantic task, which will require five
years to complete. and will cost be-

work Is one Of the most extensive ev-

The dam will impound flood waters
that will be used to irrigate 100000
acres of rich land under the Boise
Payette project.
The dam will rest On a bedrock that
has been located 80 feet below the riv-
er bed. Concrete and native boulders
will be used. While the projected dam
will be the largest built by the re.
clamation service and the highest In
the world, its storage capacity falls

WATER POWER
BILL PASSED
Congress Takes Action on Southern
Project and Establishes Prece-
dent Concerning
Power.
One Dollar Per Horse Power Must
be Paid by Promoters Of
the Big Work at
Birmingham.

WASHINGTON Aug. 17--In pass
ing what is known as the Black War
rior dam bill the house established an
important precedent concerning the
granting of water power rights on
navigable streams to, private corpora
tions. This bill as 1t finally passed,
provides that the Birmingham Water,
Light and Power Company. which is
given twenty-five year franchise on
the water power which will be de-
veloped by the construction of dam
for slack water navigation shall pay a
federal tax of 81 per horse power per
annum.
In speaking against the bill, Repre-
sentative Martin of Colorado made
reference to the veto message of for
mer President Roosevelt on the James
/ river dam bill introduced in the six
/ tieth congress by Representative Rus
4 sell of Missouri. President Roose-
welt In that message, demanded that
4 provision be made whereby the feder-
al government would derive a small
4 tax for the valuable right bestowed
and announced that he would apprt /,
1 no water power proposition unless
such provision were made.
Representative Martin declared II
the house passed the pending bill he
4 would work out plan whereby the
4 government would derive taxes fol
the use of all navigable waters, in
Guiding rivers, lakes and even the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, so far a.
the coastwise trade is concerned. Ht
