IRRIGATION PRO-
JfCT ON ". n. LINE

Work was commenced this week ON
the supply ditch for the Antelope res
ervoir, says the Jordan Valley Express
Of April 4th. III. B. Wells. of the
Nancy Wells Bros. Construction Co.
arrived here Tuesday and is now ON
the ground directing operations. That
the work will be pushed tn comnet;on
as fast as the large force at their
command can perform the work. and
as soon as the weather conditions and
roads will permit the bringing in from
other places their construction outfit
They will purchase here several extra
teams and thus make a home market
for draft horses.
This firm did large part of the
grazing work on the Western Pacific
railway and have large outfits at work
on the Klamath irrigation project and
on the Bully Creek irrigation project.
Ihls irrigation project will ultimate
~ consist of reservoirs that will be
capable of storing $4,000 acre feet of
water and has sufficient water sup
ply to more than fill these immense
storage reservoirs from the flood wa
ters in the spring. The construction
OF the larger and upper storage reser.
voir will be done as soon as the set
tlement of the lands and demand for
more water will justify, and the work
will be kept ahead of the demand 80
that there will be ample water for all
who may settle on the lands under this
project.
The lands covered by this irrigation
project are of the richest and most
productive IN the west, and as the en-
tire project can be constructed at
very reasonable cost per acre it can be
put on the market at a much lower
price per acre than any other irriga-
tion project in the United States.
Although the large amount of rain
fall in this locality necessitates less
irrigation than in many other places,
yet the larger yield per acre amply
Justifies irrigation where water can be
secured at reasonable price.

BOISE BUSINESS MAN PRE-.
diets W. n. CONSTRUCTION

A. X. Cruzen, the largest owner of
unimproved property in Boise, has re-
turned from a conference with Col
Place and prominent San Francisco
capitalists He is firm in the belief
that the Winnemucca Northern will be
built. Ito Boise Capital News re-
porther Mr.. Cruzen said:
In my opinion there is no question
but that it will be built just as quick
ly as possible. This is the first rail
road project discussed in Boise in
which ! have had confidence, and
have every confidence in this one and
am certain that it will be built.
In fact it would not surprise me
at all to see two roads built; this one
as an Independent road, and another
practically paralleling it, built by the
Oregon Short Line or the Southern
Pacific, one branch or other of the
Hartman system. The San Francisco
people are thoroughly convinced of
the advantage there would be to that
city as well as to this section by the
building of such road and they are
prepared to assist in every way possi-
BILE. -
1t is known that the engineers who
will locate the line between Boise,
Nampa and McDermitt, Nevada, win
start out within the newt week. The
outlook for early construction could
not well be brighter.

NEW UNMERGING PLAN
FOR The HARTMAN LINES

Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the
board of the Union Pacific, outlined
a plan for the dissolution of the
Southern Paeifie-Union Pacific merger,
to the Federal Court judges at st.
Paul Tuesday, as follows in nutshell:
"The entire $l26,650,000 in the
Southern Pacific stock owned by the
Union Pacific shall be deposited with
a trustee and lose its voting power
while so held; certificates of interest
to be issued by the trustee against the
shares, which shall carry no voting
right and which shall be exchangeable
for Southern Pacific shares held by
the trustee, only upon the fling of an
affidavit by the applicant for such ex-
change, showing that such applicant
does not own 1000 shares or more of
Union Pacific stock; and that these
certificates of interest shall be offered
for subscription and purchase to all
Union Pacific stockholders ratably at
a distribution ratio not less than 3S
per cent.
"The largest Union Pacific stock
holders, 36s in number, according to
the September stock list, which was
before the Supreme Court, are by this
amended plan entirely excluded from
the acquisition of any of the South
ern Pacific shares to be distributed.
"The exchange can not be effected
for them through some dummy or
agent, because the proposed affidavit
requires the applicant to swear that
he is the bona fide owner of the cer-
tifeate of interest presented for con-
version. -

Danes Mourn Death of King George

Copenhagen.-Th deepest sorrow is
felt here over the death OF King
George of Greece. who was very popu.
lar throughout Denmark. For the last
fifty years he had been accustomed to
spend six or eight weeks holiday in
Copenhagen. living like an ordinary cit
izen and taking an interest in every.
thing that concerned the life OF his
native country.
The royal family learned of the as.
sassination through press dispatch.
They were deeply moved, particularly
King Georges brother, Prince Waldo
mar, with whom he had always main.
tanned the closest companionship.
When extra editions of the newspa
pers spread the news Of his assassina-
tion, all the theaters and music halls
closed their performances and the peo
pie left silently.
King Christian received an official
message from Athens at midnight
Members of the royal family remained
up through the night to obtain details
from the newspaper dispatches.
