To Dam Snake River.

Our enterprise is q great one" said
| Mr.. PerTlne at the Hotel Utah last even-
| Ing TN the first place, we propose to
erect big dam across the Snake river
at American Falls which will inlpound
and conserve the spring flood waters OF
that great stream In natural reservoir
that will extend from American Falls
| nearly TO Blackfoot. and which will make
u lake covering $4,000 acres Of ground.
eve intend to utilize the natural bed
| and stream Of the Snake river to convey
these reservolred waters 10 the dam at
Miner, 1T which point are the present
Intakes of the north and south canals
in the great Twin Falls irrigation
project. The south canal OF this project
runs out west from Miner to near the
western edge of Twin Falls county. turn
ing north at tho town of Cephas II is
at this latter point that we PROPOSE to
begin our new extension. which is TO be
40 miles long and 10 run out over an
immense acreage In owyhee county.
Includes Immense Area.
'Tbls extension will trrigate 500, 900
acres OF good ground that mt present
lies idle for want OF water. In the dis
trict covered by the north canal, already
in commission, the acreage served is
100000 acres. The south canal. which
also Is IN service. brings into agricu-
tursl 220, 900 acres moro OF ground.
The Bruneau extension. which wc Will

cultivation 100000 acres moro of good
land Under the entire Twin Falls
project. now in operation and TO be
in service when the extension shall he
completed. a total OF LOGO 600 acres Will
Weld agricultural products for the state
OF Idaho.
"Upless one should take the trouble,
and the pleasure. 20 look over that vast
area. he can scarcely realize the fact
that 1t constitutes practically an ngri-
cultural empire that is being added To
the productive acreage OF the United

Washington. Jan. 2G.--That the great
business interests of the country have
ioconsldered their determination to
oppose the denomination Of President
Taft Is the information which has
reached the White House.
With IT went the explanation that
this could not have been said one
week ago Coincldent with sudden
turn of events whereby the admlnls-
t,ation now believes 1t is absolutely
assured the support OF the powerful
business interests. SO It stated, comes
the definite pledge of substantial fin
onclal backing for the Taft cham
paign.
q, The information has come direct
from some of the biggest manufac-
turers and merchants who have been
d!sgrunled with the prosecution by
the administration Of some Of the
trusts and who had declared war up
ON President Taft to get even. Today
II was checked up and verified by Sen
ators Crane OF Massachusetts, PEN
rose of Pennsylvania and Smoot of
Utah. These three senators are cre-
dlted with bearing the closest rela-
.tlons with the big interests of the
country OF any men in congress.
Both Penrose and Crane have been
IN New York much OF the last week
working upon the proposition Of
ErinBing the great corporation heads
into line for Taft. They have report
GO to the president that their mission
was lsuccessful and that within the
next tei days. the character of the
fight against his denomination Will
have changed entirely.
Big Business Changes Mind.
Crane. Smoot and Penrose are the
center of the stand pat element in
the senate that is s;lll fighting TO
maintain It's power. Up until week
oi so ago, II Is known that Senator
Crane was flirting with the Roosevelt
.hoom. Now. after several days spent
by Crane In New York, 1t is an
nounced that the captains of industry
who were dissatisfied with the tariff,
Canadian reciprocity and other poll
cles of the administration and threat
ened to bolt. have changed their
minds. The further statement II
made that these great business inter-
ests ''are now willing TO accept Taft
rather than experiment with presi-
dent who, they fear, might prove even
more disturbing to their comfort"
There appears to be no question
but that some of the great industrial
and financial interests have made II
n point to let the president and his
friends know of their change of heart
After consultation with the White
House. Senators Penrose, Crane and
smoot today met and outlined plan
OF campaign for the denomination of
the president. Following this meet
ing, II was reported that, within a
few weeks, Postmaster General Frank
