What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. lie was conscious OF no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him in amazement 1t had grown
quite dark It must bo two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take a little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
nr8t, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb tho sound OF his
voice There was no sign that any
sentlent thing, except his very self,
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder,

Then he limped slowly down tho cor

and gasped. And that was all. There

IRRIGA-
TON GO. ELECT
ANNUAL MEETING LAST MONDAY
AFTERNOON WHEN NEW RI
RECTORS ARE EFFECTED
Engineer Adair Present and Gives
Brief Report Of Surveys to Date
and Some Ideas OF Water Supply
and Lands to be Irrigated.

Last Monday afternoon the FL
more Irrigation Company stockhold-
ers held an annual meeting at which
considerable business of Importance
was transacted. The meeting was
called to order by President Thomp-
son and the Secretary and Treasur-
er's report was called for and sub
mitted to the meeting.
Engineer Adair was next called
upon to give a brief resume of the
work of surveying to date He stat
ed that the work was nearly com
pleted, it requiring but three of four
days more for the surveyors in the
field to entirely complete all their
work He was much pleased with
the results of his work and owing
to the fact that all the old system
was surveyed and carefully examin-
ed it required a much longer time
than would an entirely new system.
The water sheds in the upper coun-
try had all been carefully measured.
the reservoirs and the canal systems
in their entirety He felt very safe
in saying that there was sufficient
water to irrigate considerably more
than the acreage contracted for,
about $4,000. He would gather all
data from his surveyors and sum up
the results Of their work and submit
full and complete report at a very
early date. After answering few
questions of greater or less import
ance he extended an invitation to an
stockholders to meet him at any time
and ask any questions concerning
his work they desired TO know and
he would answer and give fun in
formation.
The election OF a board OF direct
ors was next called for and IT was
decided to eliminate the director
that had been allowed to the Min
neapolis interests and add It to Noun
tain Home, which would give this
city a representation Of on the
board. In this manner it would be
much easier to secure board niece
ings when occasions required. 1t was
also voted to throw all proxies or vot-
es coming from stockholders belong
ing to the Seattle crowd. Eighteen
names were placed in nomination
from which the following six We're
selected: b. p Thompson, John w
Morton, c. e. Rogers, e. Heimbaugh.
G. T. Wheeler. F.. p AXE.
The meeting was largely attend
ed and harmony prevailed through
out. The success Of the Elmore Ir-
rigation Co. is certainty and time
is all that is required now in the dew
elopment of the promoters plans.

ering the question of increasing prize
es for water rights. it should also
be borne in mind that during the
last six or seven years there has been
a decided increase in the cost Of
all materials and in the cost Of labor
lit should further be remembered
that the state board of land commits
sioners and the state engineers de-
partment grow in the experience of
supervising these projects, more
stringent requirements are made with
reference to the construction of di-
version works. particularly with ref
erence to more permanent structures
in the matter of headgates, fumes.
etc All of these things above men,
toned necessitate an upward trend of
prices in order that capital may be
justified in going into irrigation pro-
jects in the hope of receiving a fair
remuneration upon the Investment.
Idaho has gone far beyond her sis
ter states in Carey act development.
Originally 100000 acres of land
were set aside for each of the arid
states. Down to the present no other
state has yet exhausted her original
acreage. For Idaho. however. it was
necessary to ask congress two years
ago for an additional 100000 acres,
which was obtained. At the present
time projects completed, in process
of construction, or financed contem-
plate the irrigation of almost 2.0OO.-
600 acres, at a total estimated cost
of approximately s5O.O00,OO0. In ad-
dition to these, requests for segre-
cation are now pending aggregating
over 100000 acres. The estimated
cost of construction in connection
with these requests of segregation
amounts to approximately $4,000
600. Although minor mistakes may
have occurred as might be expected
in connection with irrigation devel-
opment on so mammoth a scale. yet
such mistakes are dwarfed into in
calculable benefit accruing to the
significance in contemplation Of in
calculable benefit accruing to the
state Of Idaho by reason Of a state
policy which makes possible the f.
nal irrigation OF the ultimate acre Of
land available for reclamation.
