crushed lava. The dirt used in the
fill is conveyed by means of belt
carrier for a distance of half a mile
and dumped into chute at the sum-
NIT of the bluff, from which it emp
ties into the waiting wagons on the
dam. An idea of the expense en-
tailed to convey this dirt to the dam
can be had from the fact that it is
first exeavated by STEAM shovels and
loaded into cars which discharge into
the conveyor. The conveyor makes
an ascent of IS feet in the half mile
run to the dam.
No pains is spared to make the dam
strong. First layer of small stones,
sand and clay is deposited to a depth
of six inches. 1t is then sprinkled
thoroughly and rolled by fOur-ton
traction engine. Close to the con-
crete core the dirt and stone are de-
posted in pool of water so that the
settling process is constantly going
on. On the upstream side a finer
mat is used than on the down stream
portion, and when completed the sur.
face of the dam will be provided with

today with the farms and orchards
of these men, to whose faith and
courage the state owes much. More
over, business men in the southern
Idaho towns threw their support be-
hind the projects with the result that
communities became unit in work
ing for, boosting and anticipating the
future of their sections.
Beyond the confines of Twin Falls
County the spirit of improvement is
no less. Where the government has
not taken hold of projects private cor
porations have undertaken the task,
and the Twin Falls-Oakley project is
but one of them. Irrigation started
slowly in Idaho, the people going con-
servatively for several years. But in
1909 20 projects were launched through
out the state, and of these southern
Idaho received its share. Experts have
repeatedly examined the soil Of its
fertile valleys and pronounced it ex-
cellent. Demonstrations have repeat
edly been made with the same verdict.
1t is not surprising then that capital
should seek these fields on which the
eyes of the East had been turned
through the enterprising publicity eff
forts of commercial organizations. The
fields of waving grain, alfalfa, the
blooming orchards and the luxuriant
gardens today greet the eye as the
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1913-02-01

which is now in use to convey the
water around the dam is tunnel
bored through the solid rock 700 feet
in length and 10 feet square. The
bottom is on a level with the stream
bed.
For years "Twin Falls" has been
almost a trade mark for southern
Idaho. And rightly so, for the county
OF Twin Falls stands today as the
banner irrigation county of the state,
and indeed of the Northwest. No
other county in the state can boast
so great a proportion of its farmed
land under the ditch. And this
progress has been very rapid. Twin
Falls has believed in the mission of
irrigation from the very first. That
is why the country about the city OF
Twin Falls has come under the spell
of the irrigation fever. Those who
have watched the development Of this
splendid fruit and farming district
have seen barren wastes turned into
fertile fields and the desert veritably
made to blossom as the rose. I'm.
mense orchard companies have entered
the field because they believed in the
country and the irrigation business
1t needed but small demonstration
to prove to the less sanguine that
with water to turn upon the soil at
will the country would come into its
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1913-02-01

finds ready market for all of 1T.
Figuring 45c per box for expense OF
production, this leaves net profit in
this instance of $4,000 for the sea-
son. Other growers are doing as well.
A very interesting instance might
be told in connection with the Ticha-
eek place. Last summer Mr. Tichacek
sold the orchard for $4,000. The
buyers got the benefit of the season :
crop. About the time the output OF
the place was marketed Mr. Tichacek
had a case of "cold feet" He re-
GREETED the move Ne had made, and
he wanted.to get it back again. He
did buy it back, paying $4,000 for it
or clean premium of $4,000 over the
price he had sold it for a few months
before.
Among those who have been first to
appreciate this new Moses Lake dis
trict are the men who have made
Wenatchee. Several Wenatchee capital
lists have, within the past year or so
invested $4,O00,000 in this district
Some of them have planted an entire
| section to orchard, and, although the
orchard is only few months old
these mens would not take $500 al
acre for the property today. The,
see its future possibilities. Raw lane
is selling in Moses Lake valley fol
800 an acre, and value of $500
an acre is placed on it as soon al
the trees are planted
Becoming interested in the reports
of wealth and opportunity coming
out from this comparatively new ter
ritory, the editor of the Wenatche'
World recently started on trip o.
investigation. He covered good por

got back to his Office he wrote on,

the figures may seem, it is stated upon

Such a condition cannot help but
bring enthusiasm among the advocates
Of irrigation. Yet the enterprise and

A large body of fruit land in the
Moses Lake valley of Grant county,
Washington, directly east OF We
natchee, has recently been opened to
settlement, and is now attracting a
great deal of attention.
The development in Moses Lake val
ley is nothing short Of marvellous
Within few years this district is
to furnish homes to at least $4,000
people. Many sections Of rich land,
which have lain dormant for centuries,
and which until just recently wcie
considered practically worthless, be-
cause of the lack of water for irriga-
ton, have now been placed on tho
market and are rapidly being settled.
The discovery of an immense body
of sheet water, underlying the entire
district, is responsible for this de-
velopment. This water is nothing
more nor less than an immense UNI
derground lake, which crops out in
various parts of the county
Hundreds of pumping plants are be-
ing installed, each irrigating from 10
to 1000 acres, and once the water is
turned onto the land it yields pro-
duction of fruits, alfalfa and garden
truck that is prolific. Water is OBJ
tanned at from % to 100 feet, in in
exhaustible quantities. 1t isn't ques-
| ton of where to drive well in order
| to get water. 1t is merely a question
| of where the farmer or orchardist
wants his WELL If he sinks there, he
| is sure to get the water.
Some of the orchards that have al
ready been developed in the Moses
| Lake district are actually yielding
higher than $1,000 an acre net profit
per season, and it is predicted that
this district will soon hold the rec
ord of being one of the greatest fruit
| producers on the continent. The soil
| is very similar to that of the North
| Yakima and Wenatchee fruit districts,
and recent chemical analysis shows
| it to be richer than the latter by
several per cent. 1t is composed of
decomposed lava and volcanic ash. 1t
is deep and mellow, and underlaid with
gravel formation that insures per
feet drainage.
A visit to one orchard near Moses
lake was nothing short of revela-
ton. This orchard, which consists of
80 acres, 90 of which are in bearing,
is known as the Tichacek place. Dur
ing the 1912 season 10000 boxes OF
fancy apples were harvested from this
20 acres, and they sold for $l.45 per
box net, the sale being made through
the Wenatchee Fruit Growers asso
citation, the organization which has
successfully solved the problem OF
finding market for Northwestern
fruit at good prices. This association
is now handling much of the fruit

To harness the waters of Goose
Creek in Cassia County, Idaho, and
turn them on to lands now giving
the appearance of barren waste is
the purpose of the Twin Falls Oakley
project, by means of which one of
the most fertile valleys of the West
will be made into a blooming garden
and about $4,000 acres added to the
rapidly increasing area of reclaimed
land. This enterprise is but one of
many similar ones that are to be found
in the great basin country, and pre-
sages the continued prosperity of an
already prosperous community. 1t is
tribute to the confidence of its mas
tiers in the science Of reclamation and
in the future of southern Idaho. The
dam that win hold back the waters
of Goose Creek entails an expenditure
of vast amount of money, for it is
being constructed with view to per
manency, no expense being spared to
make it so.
Before the Inauguration of the plan
to furnish water to the entire valley,
rights on the creek were held by own
ers of about 5000 acres. Goose Creek
is small mountain stream with a
minimum capacity of Is second feet
from July to January and a maximum
OF 500 second feet through the bal
ance of the year. For many years the
600O acres had been irrigated from the
unregulated flow of this stream, some
years with perfect satisfaction but
ordinarily with an insufficient flow of
water when most needed The farm
ers therefore flooded their crops when
water was plentiful early in the sea-
son and conserved the moisture thus
stored up by cultivation during the
dry months. Many difficulties at
tended this method Of procedure, and
when the proposed regulation Of water
supply was outlined owners Of the
5000 acres agreed to surrender their
rights to the waters Of the creek in
return for regulated supply of IN
acre feet, to be delivered to them
whenever needed Thus the water that
had gone to serve 5000 acres insult
fic:ently is to be, distributed over 45,-
900.
The land above that to be irrigated
has fall of 25 feet per mile, sloping
to the level alluvial bottom. The
sides of the valley are steep, converg
ing at the dam site to a width OF 40C
feet, with steep slopes on either side
reaching to height of 100 feet and
then rising vertically in straight
wall of solid lava to a height of l5j
feet above the river bed. Engineers
were quick to see the natural advan.
tage of this narrow neck, as well as
the abundance of material available
for an earth dam. These and the won
derful productivity of the valley
seemed to Justify the expenditure, and
+hn nroiact was launched
Tons of earth and rock make III
the substance of the dam, which is
AS feet high and 1850 feet long
Through the center stretches core
Of concrete, starting at bedrock with
width of three feet and tapering tc
a thickness of one foot at the top
The bottom is pure concrete, while
the top is reinforced. Bedrock was
found at depth of % feet below the
bottom of the stream. The body OF
the dam is mixture of sand, clay
and small rock, the rock being mostly
