Many Many Visit Big Big Dam Dam
Reservoir Practically Full and Amount
of Water Stored, Beyond Belief
Test Proves Successful

200-foot head of water, more than
twice what there is here, and are
of the very hest type. The concrete
water tower, reinforced with heavy
steel from foundation to top, is pro-
nounced by engineers to be one of
the finest pieces of concrete work
in the country Through it is con-
trolled all the water output of the
reservoir. At present, the 5-foot
gates are raised only about that
many inches only, and the discharge
is only about one-tenth the capacity
of the gates. They will be raised as
more water is required to supply
the canals.
The reservoir will be filled before
the regular June flood which is
the highest water of the year At
capacity of near 5000 cubic feet a
second, twice what it is running at
present Long before that time, the
surplus will be running out over the
spillway, and forming a laundering
cataract 140 feet in height and 400
feet wide. The full volume of this
spring flood, coming over this spill
way, will be only second to the
Great Shoshone falls. No one in
this part of the country should fail
to go out there during the fore part |
Of June, for it will be marvellous
sight
1t would be worth far more than |
the cost for any timid or doubtful
one to go out there and see the
big dam. Not even a professional
pessimist could disbelieve that it is
as secure and as complete as engin-
sering skill can make it. Since it
IS the life of the great irrigation
system built up under it, it has been
ouilt to last, and the tests thus far
Ind it is now within five feet of
'ull---prcve that it has not been de-
ective in any particular. Land and
own values builded on the perma-
lency of that dam are in luck ev-
,ry day of their lives.
With such laws will work hardship
IN our citizens.
81 do not beelieve, however, that
he tax dodgers of Idaho, rinforcd
aes they are by some of our leading
newspapers, can induce the people
f the state to conclude that viola
lon of law instead of compliance is
he duty of any officer or any citi-
en-
Even If the effect of their efforts
n this line was such as to induce
0 per cent of the people of this
tate to advocate open violation of
&c revenue la ws Of the state eyen
nis would not avail them in the
resent contingency, because even
len the law will be upheld and
Maintained as long as l am governor :
this state; and violators of the
wv will be brought to the bar of
lstice irrespective of the opin
[ a majority of the communities
here such transgressors reside.
"The only effect of this agitation
to unsettle business conditions;
ave feeling of uncertainty and
oubt in the minds of many Of our
tizens, and perhaps induce some n
scharge of their duties q
you can say for me that every
fort of which 1 am capable will
, directed to the strict enforce a
ent of the law in regard to the Fl
lluation of property, and to the c,
lnishment of those guilty of Grim
al acts whoever they may be. :.

Red Hot Interview.
Governor Hawley, in Interview With
Statesman Reporter, Turns
Himself Loose

Governor Hawley, who returned
Sunday from a two weeks trip tc
Wash ineton to look after the state
interests in lands now included in
the forest reserves, still holds tc
ment Is the one thing necessary to
insure prosperity at home and ere
dit abroad. In red-hot interview
given to the Statesman, he has the
following to say on the subjest:
IF l can get through with public
business that is pressing for atten-
tion here at the capital, propose to
go the various parts of the state.
1 propose 70 visit all the state insti-
tutions; to become familiar with
their needs and their methods---to
get In touch with their directors
and to be an active factor in all
things tending to their betterment.
while so engaged l shall at the
same time investigate the tax assess
ment rolls Of the varions counties;
also their method of assessments.
shall ascertain If ther is anywhreee
IN effort to evade the law in any
way. l also propos eto ascertain the
real value Of property in various sec.
tions, and then ! will compare the
real values with the assessment
rolls.
Already have in a number of
the counties men who are familiar
with property values. From them |
expect to obtain information l hav
myself a pretty good general idea
as to the values in most parts of
the state. This information is based
on experience and knowledge.
While engaged in this work l de-
sire to meet commercial organiza-
tions, farmers unions and other
bodies of representative citizens and
confer with them in regard to the
cash value assessmnt plane l pro-
pose to lay before these organiza-
tons the strong reasons that have
actuated myself and other pulic Of
ficials in our efforts in this direction
81 am ready at all times to dis
,uss this matter in all its bearings,
and l am satisfied that If such meet
ngs are held, the real facts laid
pare, and the new system fully ex-
planned therewill be a unanimous
public sentiment in favor of full casl
5alue sessmntse-except from
hose who have heretofore escaped
heir share of the tax burden and a
ew bigoted citizens who will en-
lorse nothing that is not stamped as
,arty measures by their own party |
"Of one thing the neone of Idaho |
nay rest assured: Whatever oppo.
ition may develop to the enforce
nent of the law as it stands, that
opposition shall have no effect on
ne or my actions.

IMPORTANT MEETING
Game Warden Gray and Assistants

fish and gam laws Elm relation to thu
maintainink of screens in irrigation

maintaining of fishways in all dams
in the streams of the stet.

Quite a number of ,Richfield peo-
pie, among them being the publish
crs OF the Recorder, drove cut to
the big reservoir the first of the
week, to see the source Of the water
that is now being distributed over
the Idaho Irrigation Co. lands
The dam is all right Those who
have not been accustomed to such
structures, may not at first realize
just how good it Is. Nor how big,
back up the lower face The dam
stands in the deep gorge, and is 140
feet above the former level of the
river In reality it is almost 200
feet from the bottom to the top, for
in the river bed deep trenchescwere
dug, and in thesee the 35-foot sheet
.teel piling was driven, to make
II 1 steel wall to cut off all bottom
Sge. These piles were driven
TO bed rock. When one stops
!. figure that the dam is almost as
high as a city block is long, and as
long as three blocks, up and down
the canyon, one can begin to get an
idea of its size.
AS one single item of construc-
ton, 1t might be mentioned that the
constructors put in 100000 cubic
" Is of earth, at cost of 1920, 900
,pove the original contract with the
{ tate, as a voluntary protection for
the structure, more than was de-
clared to be necessary for the safe
ty of the dam. The whoe work has
been carried on along the same line,
and the result is structure that
should stand for ages.
The test last season was sufficient |
to demonstrate the stability of the
structure. While it is not true that |
there is no leakage, there is no more
than would be expected of any sim
liar structure. The Recorder esti-
vel could handle In ten minutes all
the silt that all the leakage would
contain in a whole day. When one
considers that there Is close to a
million yards of material In the en-
tire dam, and that the total loss,
even on this first and severest test,
is perhaps what one man woud shov.
ell in ten minutes, the writer is con-
sumed with regret that he hasn't
few more dollars to buy land with
SO good water right.
1t is wonderful lake that has
been formed by the reservoir above
the dam. 1t is now nine miles in
length, and spreading every minute.
1t has covered practically all the
old camp, except the stables, and in
a few days Will be pouring torrent I
down through the spillway. Even
in the mountains, there is no more
beautiful body of water; none more
brightly blue, nonewith finer set
ting. The foothills OF the Sawtooth {
range crowd in all around 1t, and
one could scarce believe that 1t is
not one of Natures wonders. 1t 1
promises to be real highway, for l
On it's broad bosom there Is ample q

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Sauvain-a
son.
With a splendid mother, nine old
er sisters to look after him, and
Charley Sauvain for dad, that
youngster can double discount those
who came with the proverbial golden
spoon in their mouths. Young Char
ley surely has down hill pull on
the world from the start. When the
horse editor went over to congratu-
late Charley this morning he was
trying to file the hicks out of a meat
saw, so he could cut a porterhouse
steak off the hind-quarter of the
chopping block; and absent-mindedly
trying to take a kidney out of side
of bacon. And when a customer
asked if he had a nice tea bone steak,
he just looked up in dazed sort of
way and answered, mo, it's a boy. u
