Pumping plants operated with cleo
trio motors and made to irrigate tracts
OF land on large scale are COM
paratively new means of development
There are at least 10000 acres of
land in Idaho watered by this means
alone, and there are at least 200, 900
acres of land yet in sagebrush that
can be irrigated by no other means.
The power companies that have done
most to bring about the tremendous
development that has taken place are
the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls
Water Power company of Twin Falls.
Idaho, the Southern Idaho Water Pow
er company, the Government Reclama-
ton Service of Boise, Idaho, and the
Idaho-Oregon Light e Power company
of Boise, Idaho.
The largest pumping project in the
world is located near Minidoka. Idaho
and was completed three years ago by
the Government Reclamation Service
Forty-eight thousand acres of land
are Watered under this system with
lifts varying from 80 to 80 feet. The
High Line pumping project near Twin
Falls, Idaho, comprises 1000 acres of
land, and is watered with lifts varying
from 40 to so feet. The Twin Falls

enterprise, is composed of $4,000 acres

on the Snake river. These plants have
a combined capacity of at least 10000
horsepower, and may be enlarged to
double that amount. The same COM
pany has large power plant partly
completed at Ok Bow on the Snake
river, which will be capable OF de-
livering at least 10000 horsepower OF
electrical energy The larger cities
and towns supplied by this company
are Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Ontario,
Payette and Weiser.
The chief hydroelectric enterprises
in the southeastern part Of Idaho are
the Bear Lake Power company, hav-
ing plant on Paris creek, and sup
plying Montpelier, Paris and other
ne1ghboring towns; the High Creek
Power company, having a plant on
Cub river, and supplying Preston, Ida

towns, and the Telluride Power com
pany at Grace, Idaho, on the Bear
river, which delivers power over a
long transmission line into Salt Lake.

supplied by these companies is being
used very largely for manufacturing
and mining purposes and for the opera

At American Falls, the Southern
Idaho Water Power company, a Kuhn
enterprise, is now developing aDproxi-
mately $500 horsepower and an even
tual development of 10000 horsepower
has been mapped out. The head ut the
site is about 80 it, Energy from this
plant is at present transmitted over a
line some 60 miles in length, and is
being supplied to Pocatello, American
Falls, Ross Fork and Blackfoot.
At Minidoka, the United States Re-
clamation Service has completed
plant having an aggregate capacity of
1900 horsepower, which is being util-
lied mainly for the operation of irriga-
ton pumping plants and for lighting,
heating and power purposes on the
government projects.
At Twin Falls on the Snake river, a
direct head of $50 it. is available, and
a modern development of 10000 horse
power is contemplated When COM

ELECTRICAL development IN SOUTHERN IDAHO
BY E. A. WILCOX
Publicity Manage the Shoshone

The advancement made in the prac-
teal application and use of electric
power during the past one or two de-
cades has revolutionized the indus
trial and civic welfare of the world to
such an extent that the opportunities
and capacities for development of
electric energy is today deemed one
OF the most valuable natural resources
OF any locality. 1t is, therefore, ma
tural that the great power sites of
southern Idaho are considered as one
of its greatest assets, and it's rapid
development and growth can be at
tributed in large way to this great
natural advantage.
The general relief of Idaho with its
high snow-capped mountain ranges
its extensive valleys and plains, pro-
vides watersheds to furnish wonder
full, never-failing water supply for the
creation of large rivers and streams.
The natural fall of these streams is
such that unlimited power may be

roads are constantly extending their
trackage and improving their service.
Lately, a number of electric railway
enterprises have sprung up in the
southern portion of the state in the
more densely populated districts. The
most recent electric road to be built is
IN the Twin Falls country 1t is being
constructed by the Twin Falls Rail-
way company, and electric trains will
soon be running between the city Of
Twin Falls and Shoshone falls. The
cars will be operated by means of the
new Edison storage battery. Twelve
miles of grade have been built. the
ties laid, and part of the rails
nave been placed. The road is of q
gauge that will permit handling
standard freight and passenger cars.
With the possibilities for the devel-
opment of water power enterprises in
southern Idaho and with the unpra
cedented number of ways in which
electricity is being applied to the SER
vice OF mankind in his industrial and
CIVIC life, it is difficult to imagine The
wonderful future of the state that will
OBTAIN from the further Harvesting of
the present dormant water power re-
sources and the further education If

cations OF electricity in modern life

The Anger falls site, located a few

Among the more recent adaptations
OF electricity is it's application to gen.
eral use in the kitchen. The several
power companies have adopted liber-
al basis of charge for current used for
cooking purposes. An idea of the ra-
pidity with which this means of cook
ing is being adopted may be gained by
stating that in the Twin Falls country
alone sixty complete electric ranges
were sold by the Great Shoshone &
Twin Falls Water Power company
during August and September of the
past year.
