Almost Something for Nothing
John Jansen, whose home is near
Huston on Deer Flat says.
Il took up a homestead of 100
acres on Deer Flat in 1904. In 1910
| disposed of 40 acres for $2400. With
this money | improved the remaining
120 acres and today have 80 acres
in first class cultivation, improve
ment including home, outhouses, ma
chinery, etc., valued at $2750. Eighty
acres of the land is valued at 1925
an acre and 40 at SIS. The land is
all fenced and includes excellent blue
grass pasture.
When | filed on my homestead l
had span of mules, wagon and II
cents in cash."
Started With Nothing.
Clark L. Roberts young man who
made his homestead entry two years
ago has also made remarkable pro-
gress. In his statement to the COM
mittee he submitted an itemized ac-
count of his receipts and disburse-
ments covering the entire period since
filing on his claim. In 1911 he pur-
chased a REIMBURSEMENT for $500. To
make the purchase he borrowed $3.50
for the initial payment and gave his
note for the balance. Today he places
valuation of $50 per acre on his
60 acres of land. His total receipts
during the two year period in which
he includes his Land valuation is
$610811, his disbursements were
$1943.90, The difference is repre-
sented in permanent improvements,
stock, and cash in bank.
Other letters received show prog
ress no less remarkable and in each
was a vibrant strain of happiness and
prosperity, made possible by close
application of intelligent farming
methods.

and the people of Idaho today.
This question cannot be solved
by bootless discussion of what
might have been, or by railing at
the state of Idaho or it sofficials,
past or present.
Serious Mistake Made.
Let it be admitted at The out
set that serious mistakes were
made in the financing and con-
struction of small percentage
of our irrigation projects, and
that these mistakes have been
responsible for much loss and
suffering to individuals and for
the arrested development of our
irrigation enterprises. The ac-
count you give of your relations
to the Big Lost river project is
probably correct, except your
statement that the land board
announced that they would hold
first payment on this tract in es-
crow. In this you are not borne
out by the gentleman to whom
you refer, nor by the land board
records. Your story does not
differ materially from that of
many others, nor does it help
the present situation, nor bring
us any nearer the solution we
are seeking.
Make Political Capital.
Neither will it help at this
time to seek to excuse or palliate
admitted errors, or to condemn
the short-sighted, selfish policy
of those who sought to make po-
litical capital out of an unfortu-
nate business situation. Equally
grave mistakes may be expected
in any new enterprise, operated
under untried and perhaps in
sufficient laws, administered by
inexperienced officials pioneer
ing a new field.
"The great question now con-
fronting us is how to proceed so
as to carry these suspended pro-
jects to completion and to be sub
stantially just to all concerned.
AS you we'll know action not only
by the state land board, but by
the legislature has been rendered
impossible by the litigation in
which the Big Lost river project
is involved, but out of this legal
maze we hope to emerge in the
near future. We are daily expect
ing dcision by the federal cir
cult court Of appeals which will
we hope, definitely settle ques-
tions of title so that negotiations
looking to further construction
can be proceeded with. Acting on
the best legal advice obtainable,
we have refrained from institut-
ing suit to recover on the bond
pending the decision of the cir
cult court of appeals, but the pa
pers have long since been prepar-
ed in the office of the attorney
general and the state but awaits
the expected decision before fill
ing suit looking to the recovery
of the $175, 900 bond.
