Big PROJECT HAS
BEEN FINANCED
BLACK CANYON DIRECTORS
WANT TO DAM THE
PAYETTE RIVER

Purpose is To Divert the Water That
Will Be Stored in the Payette Lakes
Ambitious Scheme of District Is
To Irrigate 100000 Acres of Choice
Land.
The directors of the Black Canyon
Irrigation district have filed an APP
plication in the Boise United States
Land office to be permitted to build
dam in the Payette river above
Horseshoe Bend. The dam will be 48
feet high and will back the water
three or four miles up stream. Its
purpose is to divert the water that is
to be stored in the Payette lakes by
the irrigation district.
The filing of application to construct
the Payette river dam indicates that
the district is preparing to carry
through its ambitious program for the
development of $4,000 acres of rich
land lying between the Payette and
Boise rivers. The storage divisions
of the project consists of two reser
yoirs, one in Payette lake and the
other in Little Payette lake.
The district originally asked the
land board for permission to raise the
water of Payette lake fifteen feet, but
objection was made by people whose
property is in the vicinity of the lake
Finally compromise was made be-
tween the district and these persons
and as a result the land board granted
the district the right to build a dan
which would raise the water of the
lakes eight feet, which would reach q
high water mark, and thus the proper.
ty in that vicinity would not be dam.

Good Word For O'Neil.

The many friends of Barney O'Neil
in this state deeply regret the financial
troubles which he has become involved
in, and it will require pretty strong
evidence to convince them that Barney

hearted, generous man, who has given
away more to charities and in assisting
friends in need than probably any man
in the northwest, and now in his ex-
tremity is the time for his friends to
stand by him instead of turning against
him and denouncing him as dishonest
He says he will be able to show that
his name has been used by others
without his authority in some of the

a collision to blacken his name. 1t is
