$500, 900 ACRES IRRIGATED
BY THE LAST Of THIS YEAH
SENATOR SHAWHAN'S REPORT
SHOWS INCREASE IN AREA

Some idea of the progress made
in Idaho in irrigation is given by
the following extract from a report
made by Senator Shawhan of Pay
ette. the new head of the Carey act
department of The state land board:
The following figures include
government, Indian, Carey act, dis
trict. cooperative, private and
rental projects.
The area actually under irriga-
tion up to January. 1900. was 60S,-
71S acres: to January. 1870 l,i28.-
5i2 acres, or an increase of irrigat-
ed area in The last decade Of Si9.S24
acres.
over 100000 acres of this are
through Carey act and government
projects. By the end of 1911 there
will be an addition Of 1000. 900 acres
actually reclaimed. or total Of
3.5OO,OOO acres. From these figures
and Judging from the efforts put
forth to assist settlers under Carey
act enterprises. it will be apparent
that there is much to be done 10
me way of procuring actual set
tiers for the land already reclaimed
OF the land entered under the
various Carey act projeets,I ascume
tnal not over 25 per cent in the
whole is entered by acMal farmers;
30 per cent by speculators and p
per cent by those who are affected
by the back to the soil propa-
ganda and Of these probably not
more than one in five Will ever be-
come permanent investor, in
other words. about 70 per cent OF
the lands already entered are on
the market. and in many instances
may be purchased at prices slightly
IN advance of the cost TO the en-
tryman.
When il comes to genuine, con-
sistent boosting for Idano. ex-Gov-
ernor Brady leads the bunch. Here
are soae of the figures used by
him in recent address:
The crops in southern and south
eastern Idaho are ~ per cent above
the average and from observation
they are equally as good in the
northern part of Idaho.
The range is fine and stock
generally is in splendid condition.
Idaho has 2.6000OO sheep. The clip
this year viii amount to 100000
pounds. Idaho comprises 5l,000,0O0
acres of land. OF this 2l,0OO,09
acres is agricultural. 20.O00,000 tim
Der. S.000.0O0 grazing and 5,O0OW
mineral
There are 3.325,O00 acres of II
rig.led lands. and work on the var
ious projects has been resumed ana
when all have been satisfactorily
financed the work will doubtless be
carried TO successful termlnatiOn-
Idaho has more irrigated land and
water to irrigate with than any
other state in the Union. The fine
power sites along the Snake river
are being utilized to pump water

The United States revenue cutter service has

OF the American colonies had been won through
the Revolutionary war. the country returned to

and the maritime interests Of the new republic

Young men enter at any age between eighteen and

training that IN some respects is even more ardu-
than that given at Uncle Sans big academies
at Annapolis and West Point. OF course tho

sometimes there are not than two dozen

is to be expected, for the revenue cutter service

Unlike many OF the men who go down to the sea
in ships, they do not confine themselves to a given
path. On the contrary, the young revenue
cutter oficer may be called upon at short notice
to navigate his, own ship in any waters from south
Florida to northern Alaska and he must enter
many bays and arms Of the sea where no naval
merchant vessel would ever be required to go.
For these versatile demands the revenue cutter
officers are especially trained during their cadet
course. Each year during the threeyear course
the cadets spend several months cruising

as always Ready" and certainly the Yankee police

recent years that the words of this slogan convey
no idle boast.

men from Montgomery, were enroute

about fifteen miles an hour he at
