ELECTION OF WATER MASTER
Idaho Irrigation Company and Othe7
Users in Perfect Harmony

Oliver Dunn, former water mas
ter on the Little Wood River, was
reelected at the meeting of the own
ers of adjudicated rights on the Lit
tie Wood River. The election was
held at Shoshone on March 6. Mr.
Dunn"s services have been SO emf
nently satisfactory to all parties con
cerned that the meeting voted by
exclamation to raise his salary to
$500 per day.
Mr.. c. A. Elmer, representing the
Idaho Irrigation Company, was elect
ed Chairman of the meeting, and ali
business was conducted without de-
lay. Mr.. Dunn was the only candi-
date proposed.

Anxious For or Spring
Old and New Settlers AnxiousIy Await
the Arrival Ready to Turn the
Sage Brush to Green Fields

Settlers on the various tracts of the
Idaho Irrigation company are awaiting
with some impatience the beginning of
spring, so that the work of farming
and orchard development may be pros
ecuted. During the season of 1910,
about one-half of the lands sold by the
company were proved up on, and of
this acreage probably one-fourth was
developed and cropped in some form.
During the coming year the remaining
lands will all be settled on, and the
acreage in developed lands will proba-
bly, be increased at least fourfold. In
addition, from present indications, the
sale of open lands will be even larger
than last year, the sales department of
the company reporting that throughout
winter months sales have never stopped.
Many sales have been made to parties
who had already secured and proved up
on Carey act land in this project, but
who now feel that they can handle
more land.
The impending increase in prices of
0gater rights to $50 per acre on the

Richfield and the north and south Good
ing tracts on May l, has had the effect
of calling the attention of many of the
older settlers, whose lands are not wat
cred, to the desirability of making ar
rangements with the company for Sc
curing Carey act water rights. There
are several thousand acres of this kind
of land, the greater portion in this
vicinity, Gooding and between Good
ing ane Shoshone.
In all parts of the project there is a
general disposition among the settlers
to set out at least portion of their
lands this year in apples, pears, prunes
and other fruits. One company at
Gooding, headed by Ex-Governor Good
ing, has ordered the trees and prepared
the land for setting out 1000 acres in
choice winter varieties of apples. This
will not be in a single tract, but in
pieces Of land ranging from 4G 4G TO 200
acres. Probably as much additional
acreage will be set out in fruit in that
vicinity by Individual settlers.

TO ESTABLISH FIGURING MILLS

If negotiations which are being
carried on between Frank Kaucho
Of ST. Joseph, Mo, and State lmmi-
grafton Commissioner Rich ar sue
ceessful various towns in Idaho viii
be sites for the erection OF flour and
alfalfa mills Mr. Kauche has been
in correspondence with MIR. Rich for
some time, looking toward the loca-
tion of these mills, and he is in a po
sition to expend millions Of dollars
in the construction of them.
The immigration officer has sent
out communications to every likely
town in the state where such an in
stitution as a flour mill would DC
feasible, and it is believed that there
will be a strong effort made by man
of the towns of the state to land one
of the mills.
There are more than a score OF
towns in the state which have in
times past made efforts to land such
an industry as that proposed by
Mr. Kauche, and it is believed that
they will jump at the chance which
is presented in his offer
That the influx Of citizens Of this

throng who are here in response to the
cry of the soil and the transdcndant op-
portunities offered to the man with z
modicum of brains and energy and the
nerve to put them into action.
Good land can be had here for less
than the rental of exhausted soil in the
east, with the added advantage of ac-
cessibility and an ever enlarging mar
ket, good schools, churches and an en-
lightened and progressive citizenship
and climatic conditions that compare
favorably with that of the most ia
vored latitudes. An awakened desire
for good roads shown in the action Of
the legislature just adjourned in ap-
propriating several thousands of dol
lars for this purpose in various parts of
the state, is an indication that the peo-
pie are abreast of the times and ad-
vanced activity in approved methods of
development. To those of the east
who would better their condition these
facts should appeal to them in making
the selection for their future home.
The influx of the homebuilders is Just
commencing and Lincoln county will be
the mecca for many thousands of this
desirable class. The trend of this
movement is already apparent and the
years summing up along this line will
prove a revelation to those Doubling
Thomases who can see no merit or vir-
tue in anything that does not accord
with their preconceived ideas of the
eternal fitness of things.
Conditions that obtain here and which,
with hardly an exception make for the /
good and wellbeing of the newcomer,
are superior to those Of the east. Con-
gestion of population, the deadly strug-
gle for supremacy and the right to
i've and perpetuate the race under fa-
yorable conditions, the greed and rival
y for place to enable a man and his
amily to exist, are phantoms and fig
nents of the brain that rarely disturb
he dreams of those who have cast
heir lots in Lincoln county.
The enchanting pictures of Edenic
onditions so often framed by the land
bark, the exploiter Of townsites and
he unscrupulous agents of transconti-
entail railways in the effort to induce
he landseeker to locate here, have :
ever been resorted to in behalf of Lin
oln county. Those who have come
re satisfied to remain. They were not :
lfuenced by unworthy representations :

at the meeting for a lawful and or

due respect to the rights Of all par

The Great Trinity That Has Reclaimed
the Arid Waste and Made Desert
Blossom as the Rose

The assertion is often made by
those not entirely familiar with the
magnitude of the public domain of the
United States that available lands in
the west are being reduced at rate
that promises to exhaust the supply
winhln the next generation. With
out qualification this is statement
that will hardly be denied. If it re-
fers to desirable lands-lands easily ir-
rigated, the soil of which is suscepti-
BILE of high degree of cultivation,
with ample railrord facilities for the
transportation of the products raised
thereon-the claim is obviously correct
and admits of no controversy. Inacces-
sibility and remoteness from market
renders of no practical value large
bodies of the public domain in the
northwest. But the present phenome-
nal activity in railroad construction
in this section will remedy this within
the next five years. The further ex-
tension of railways now in operation
and those contemplated, the intense
eagerness of thousands in the east and
middle west for homes in the new ag-
ricultural Canaan, is proving irresist-
ible, an intensive, compelling incentive
to the spirit of further building along
this line. and as 2 result localities that
are now regarded as terra incognito
and of little value will soon prove the
means of attracting yet other thou
sands who will establish themselves in
the great northwest.
But it is of today that we must
reckon. The land-hungry can not wait,
the homeseekor is impatient to at once
cast his lot here, build his home, break
the sod of the virgin plain and plant
the seed of the vine under which he and
his may rest secure while enjoying the
fruits of honest toll and conscientious
effort.
To the homeseeker of the east who
desires to remove to a section which
promises larger returns for the money
invested and the labor required to make
a success on the farm, in the orchard
and the field, no locality offers better
than Lincoln county, Idaho
Although organized in 1905, the county ,
has leaped to the front as the militant
spirit in the great task of reclaiming !,
the arid waste through the potentiality
If an abundance of clear, pure, sparkling
water. Five years ago the science and !
practice of irrigation was an almost +
unknown proposition in this county.
Today, of the %, 112,O00 acres of land,
more than one million acres have been e
brought under water and are now in d
Jarious stages of successful cultivation. t
Homes are being built on every hand, "
newcomers are to be seen everywhere, il
incoming trains add their quota to the n
