water on to the land. The minimum
height that water will have to De

maximum is 365 feet. This will be
accomplished by a battery of huge
pumps in station located near where

From there a gravity ditch will be
used to carry the water to where the

to force the water to height of 400

point where a plant wiz pump to an

fourth and last additional raise the
maximum of 365 feet viii have been
reached by a comparatively small
substation where but few hundred
acres remain to be reclaimed
The system of so many supplement
airy lifts is made necessary from the
standpoint Of economy All Of the

While it is estimated that the power
plant on the Payette river will gener-
ate fully 14,400 horsepower at the low
water stage it is not intended to util-
ize more than 800 horsepower in the
operation of the immense pumping
plants. This will leave the surplus

GOOD PRICES PREDICTED.
idaho Potato Raisers Have Right to
Expect Coed Prices.

A, +. Deckman, who has been select
ed as a general salesman and sales
manager for the recently organized
North Pacific Fruit Distributors, with
which organization the potato growers
are affiliated, made the statement re-
Gently III Boise newspaper that there
was no reason why the potato grow
ers of the state should not be receiv-
ing 81 per 100 for potatoes right now
and that the outlook is excellent for a
price of $1.25 or better. Mr.. Deckman
was on his way from Boise to Spo-
kane in order to take up the shipping
and marketing end of the big fruit
crop produced in that section and
stopped off in Boise to see w. N. Yost.

tato growers, and John U. Mcpherson.

around the east side of Old Squaw
butte and down the Payette river to
the pumping plant. This line will
carry sufficient electricity to operate
the machinery and supply any surplus
demand made by residents on the land.
Between the power site and the pro-
Ject such substations will be built as
are required to accommodate the de-
mand made for surplus power for sale
by the district.
In the construction of this immense
project an enormous amount of money
Is necessary. Full 81 100000 in ac-,
tual cash is to be spent in building the
power plant, pumping stations, pipe
ines ditcEes, end a great siphon that
will cross what is commonly known as
Jacobson's gplch at an elevation of
235 feet, 1t will require many months
of actual work to complete the build
ing OF the system and will mean the
employment of hundreds Of men and
teams.
When it is generally known that the
annual maintenance charge under
pumping plans is high on much lower
elevations the question naturally
arises how the land owners will be
able to stand the cost. This is made
plain by the simple statement that the
district will own it's own power plant
and only the actual expense of oper-
alton will be assessed against those
using the water.-Weise American.
