COST OF PIONEER DRAINAGE
FOR MONTH OF DECEMBER.

The cost account of the consruc-
ton of the drainage system in the
Pioneer Irrigation district for the
month of December, submitted to the
Pioneer directors by the reclamation
officials few days ago, shows the eX-
cavating by the two big electric
dredgeS to have averaged in cost 1921
cents per cubic yard for the month
This is a decided reduction over the
average cost of II cents for Novem-
Der, and a still greater reduction over
the original estimate OF Is cents per
cubic yard made by the reclamation
engineers.
On account of difficult soil en-
countered in the Mason creek ditch,
the cost OF the work there is again
greater than in the Wilson slough,
although the difference is less marked
than it was in November, Dredge
No. in Mason creek eXcavated a to-
tai of ,027 cubic yards in December,
and the actual eXcavating by dredge
No. ? in Wilson slough was 40,6l4
cubic yards. The average cost Ger
yard OF No. was H. cents and of
No. 2 was 1912 cents,
The total cost of the work in De-
cember was $SS3437; the amount of
money expended on work up to date,
including location and surveys, right
of way, structures, power installation,
inventory value, operating the two
dredges and general and administra-
tive expenses is sos, 34S. 20.

HOW MICH WATER

At many points in the state OF Id
aho altogether too much water has
been used for successful irrigation.
Soils have been made sour, the waste
water has brought soluble salts to the
surface, making alkali ground, social
ed, and the crop production has been
lowered Just what is the most eco
nomical quantity to be used in any
territory is not entirely easy to de-
termine. A loose gravelly soil may
use Is acre feet per season and raise
fine alfalfa crops, if the under-drain-
age is good, while in the Boise valley
and upon large portion OF the Twin
Falls tract IS of miners inch per
acre is said to be sufficient to guar
antee good results.
Mr.. Don Bark, of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, has made an
extensive study of soil conditions in
the state of Idaho and the serviceable
amount of water to apply to them, and
at joint meeting of the engineers of
the U S. Reclamation Service and the
Idaho Society Of Engineers, in Boise,
ON February 5th, he will discuss the
economical use OF water in relation to
plant growth. 1t is expected that he
will present large amount of valu-
able information upon this subject
which will be worth the study of any
one who has to do with irrigation
work. Reduced rates have been
granted upon the railroads for those
wishing to attend this meeting, which
will be open to all those interested
in irrigation.

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
CouIon Breaks His Wrist-FaiIs to
Show Champ Class.

Johnny COul0n, DantamWelght
champion, is not ready to defend his
title.
There is much doubt whether he
will ever again be in condition to sue
cessfully repulse a high-class man
who attacks for the crown long held
by the pride of Logan Square.
In his bout at Racine last night
with Young Sinnet of Rock Island
Coulon did not show the qualifca-
tons necessary to sustain top-notch
honors. True, he broke bone in his
right wrist in the fourth round, max
ing that hand practically useless in
the remainder of the fight, but in
the earlier periods Coulon had shown
nothing startling.
The old zip was not there. He lack
ed ability to deliver snappy wallops
and was woefully inaccurate at judg-
ing distance. The broken wrist gave
John an alibi during the last six
rounds, but it cannot be applied to
the first four.
The little champion exhibited plen-
ty of gameness and did not let Young
Sinnet know how painful his injury
was.
This broken wrist means another
three months lay off for Coulon, ac-
cording to his own statement. He
says it will take the injury at least
that long to mend. Then he will have
to fight one or two comeback bouts
before he will be, able TO meet either
Kid Williams or Eddie Campi.
On the form CouIon presented last
night, even if he had not suffered
the fracture, he would not be ready
for either of the leading ~challengers
for his title.
The bout was not we'll attended
and did not arouse much enthusiasm
among those present.
