1t is, therefore, plain to be seen that
these permanent funds must increase
very rapidly, and the question Of
policy as to how these funds shall
be handled is of vast concern.
For my part, l am thoroughly
convinced that now is the time to
adopt policy of keeping this money
at home and selling our securities in
the east in order to get additional
capital into the state. To that end
favor unloading the bonds that the
state now holds and turning the
proceeds into farm loans as the al
tentative method of handling this
money permitted by law. 1 have
been making Investigations along
this line and l am convinced that It
is entirely practicable to dispose Of
these bonds in the east, SO that no
financial injury could result to our
schools, which are our first concern.
In making these suggestions / wish
1t distinctly understood that I am
making no criticisms of the past
policy. The point is that these
funds are now so great, and the
need of capital in the state is SO
great, that the time has arrived
for change along the lines l have
mentioned"

mistaken idea.
John F. Christianson, a Black
Canyon Irrigation director, and a
resident of New Plymouth has writ
ten very interesting and sensible
communication to the Capital News.
The communication appears in the
Boise paper in its Monday evening
issue. Mr.. Christianson says:
1t was with great satisfaction that
read your editorial of May %,
which came under the heading, "Das-
tardly Despoiling Payette Lakes"
Of course, we dry land holders are
very materially interested in the Pay.
cite Lakes as a reservoir proposition,
but not we alone. If you will con-
suit the Canyon county map, you
will find that fully one-third of this
county is greatly interested, with all
the surrounding towns, to-wit: En-
NETT, Letha, New Plymouth, Fruit
land, Payette, Ontario, Nyssa, Parma,
Appleton, Notus, Caldwell, Middle
ton, Byram and Star. These IA
towns are directly interested. Would
they not also interest Boise to, a
large extent? Take into considera-
ton the number of people which
will live on this tract One hundred
thousand acres divided into 20-acre
tracts will support 5000 families;
figuring each family of five members
the astounding number of $4,000 is
reached, not considering the towns,
that will spring up in the district.
Let us once consider how the lakes
as a resort would be affected. Some
time about the middle of June the
stored waters will be released and
by the middle of July, when the
tourist season will be at its height,
a large amount of water will have
been drawn out. And have not the
Payette lakes been considered as q
reservoir by the reclamation SER
vice for number of years? Sur,
veys have been run years ago to de-
termine what amount of land would
be submerged, and such surveys
show that it is ridiclously small
amount in the townsite region. In
stead of bewailing the spelling o.
the beauty and purity of the Payettt
lakes, the people and newspapers
of Lardo ought to be proud to hell

lived in the desert for six or eigh
