NEWS OF IRRIGATION

Sunday morning the water that had
been loaned by various canals along
the river to the Peoples and Ameri-
can Falls canals was shut off. They
had practically everything watered
along these canals and are happy over
the prospects of good crops. Many
of the older canals throughout the
valley have loaned their water for a
few days at time, and the critical
period seems to be over. Had it not
been for the generosity of those who
had the older water rights, thousands
of acres of crops would have been
ruined during the last two weeks.

CONTRACT LET
FOR TILDEN BRIDGE

The contract for the moving of the
Tilden bridge was let today to the
Midland Bridge company Of Kansas
City, that firm being the lowest bid
der with figure of $6250 for the
dismantling and moving of the pres
ent bridge, and $3.50 for the struc-
ture complete, including the addition
of another span. The Bingham county
now in session, have
been considering the proposition for
some time and this action will great
ly benefit the farmers in the section
around Aberdeen, Yuma and Spring
field, shortening the road to Pocatel-
10 by about 80 miles.
/ The highest bid was that of J. H.
Forbes & company, of Payette, whose
figures for the complete structure
were $9425, or without the extra
span, $7425.
The bridge will be moved about
1900 feet up the river from it's pres
ent location, to point in the river
channel that is believed permanent.
AT the present time it stands high
and dry upon the land, the river hav
ing changed it's course since the
bridge was erected. When built it
was financed by the land owners in
the section with the aid of the
county. 1t has been several years
since the river changed it's course,
rendering the bridge useless, and
during that time the residents of the
nearby communities have been great
ly inconvenience Tri
bune.

hibitors who were successful in car
rying off honors in exhibits at the

of awards was taken from the records

partment and shows that Idaho made
very creditable sh owing indeed. The

warded to the government.

AUTOS IN BINGHAM

The record of auto licenses in this
county indicates that there are 200
autos, and that they pay over $4,000
into the treasury. rs per cent OF 1t,
or about $4,000 goes to the county
and the rest to the state. Power
county reports 142 autos.
1t is said to have been the inten-
tion of the solons to have the money
whihc is paid in for auto licenses,
used for improving and maintaining
the through lines in state and
counties. If the amount expended
onon the state highway for grading
this summer is considered to have
been drawn from that fund, then we
have overdrawn for the current year.
If not, the road builders can make
some more improvements.

CITY COUNCIL AT SHELLEY

Last Thursday afternoon the city
council took a trip to a point three

site. It is located just below the one

and sold to the syndicate They also
visited Idaho Falls in the evening to
observe the lighting system in the
streets, and reported it superior to

Crop conditions in this locality
are better than usual excepting the
ldry farm areas. The spring sowing
Iof grain where irrigation was not
possible, did not amture. Notwith-
standing the light snow. fall in the
mountains the past winter and the
consequent low water in streams used
for irrigation, the crops are in good
condition and there is very little loss
from water famine. The principal
losses reported are due to lack of
diligence in watering. at the right
time, the lack of capacity of bitches
due to growth of weeds or grass in
them, or the lack of proper grading
of the land to control the water and
keep it from running to waste. Many
farmers who have given attention to
these things report that the duty of
their water has been very greatly in
creased, and the work of grading
very profitable on that account. Win
ter wheat sowed in a good seed bed
and rolled, narrowed or otherwise
worked to prevent evaporation and
weed growth, made the best crops.
Dry farmers who have sufferd losses
this year are preparing to SOW again
where possible.
The season has been favorable to
sugar beets and potatoes. Out of
1850 acres of beets planted in the
territory contiguous to the Blackfoot
factory less than 200 acres have
been lost; there is always some loss
from lack of termination, lack of per-
feet grading and watering and other
causes. The field superintendents'
reports show the beets in rather bet
ter condition than usual at this time
of the year, and predict higher
yield per acre than heretofore. The
average yield last year per acre of
beets planted was eleven and half
tons, and it is thought that if or
dinary conditions of irrigation and
weather prevail for the rest of the
season tire average yield will exceed
10 TONS This will give about 150,-
900 tons in the Blackfoot district,
worth $750,000, all payable in the
three fall months of October, Novem-
Der and December.
The campaign at the Blackfoot fac
tory promises to begin early and last
late this year. The total acreage last
year was about 1000, and the total
tonnage was less than 100000 The
capacity of the factory has not been
increased this year, but repairs have
been made to have everything in the
best possible condition. The capacity
of the beet bins at the factory have
been increased and the sugar ware
house doubled in size, raising the
from ten million to twenty
million pounds. The banks of the
ditch used for conveying water to
the factory for washing beets and
for other purposes, have been raised
so that there will be little or no
danger of overflow due to slush ice
during the sharp freezing late in the
The course of the ditch
has been changed below the factory
so it will discharge westward instead
Of running towards town.
New beet dumps have been built
at Tyhee, which is between Ft. Hall
and Pocatello, one between Gibson
and Blackfoot, one at Moreland juno
tion, the place where the Aberdeen
branch. leaves the Mackay branch,
and one at Sterling. About 500 acres
of beets are being grown this year
near Pingree, and there is beet
dump about mile and half above
the station for loadin gthem.
