Side PROT e t, along all
lines during the first six years
of its existence, and with con-
fidence turn to future full of prom
Use. Towns have sprung up and are
fiourishing; railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines have been construct
ed; and electricity for lighting, pow
er and other uses is cheaply available
even in the rural districts. But ov-
ershadowing all this development,
and giving it sustenance, is the re-
markable advancement which has
been made along agricultural lines
and which is continuing on scale
that warrants the most enthusiastic
expectations and is attracting the at
tention of the entire country.
In six brief years, with the help
of a splendid irrigation system, what
was once a gaunt and desolate sage
brush plain has been transformed
into a prosperous region of product
i've farms and tranquil rural scenes
that take one back to the older farm
ing districts of the Middle West and
give one the impulse to nestle down
and be comfortable while the sun
shine and water and fertile soil carry
on their ceaseless work. This i'm
pulse is soon overtaken, however, by
the stronger impulse to be up and
doing a part in the upbuilding of a
wonderful country, and in line for a
share of the bounteous rewards
which it promises.
Early Difficulties.
The first years on any irrigation
project are years of hardship, disap-
pointment and establishment, and
in this respect the North Side Pro-
ject has been no exception to the
rule. 1t is distinguished, however,
from a great many other irrigation
projects in that it's initial hopes are
being fully realized, though not as
quickly as at first anticipated At
the outset many people, city born and
city bred, and totally inexperienced
in farming. lured by the enchant-
mant which distance lends and by
the yearning to live life in the open,
free from the restrictions and limita-

the fertility of our soil can be made
than that which comes from the
mouth of Prof. p G. Holden, the
agricultural expert of Iowa, who
spent some time in investigating soil
conditions in this section. AS a re-
suit of these Investigations he says:
Every acre of the irrigable land in
Southern Idaho is worth, in yield or
income, three times as much as the
best land in Illinois and Iowa.
am for Iowa, but if a man is to
move, Southern Idaho is the place
to go to. For the young man espec-
tally it is full of wonderful oppor-
tunities. l don't enthuse easily
can't afford to. But when l see such
marvellous productiveness as is seen
on every hand in these irrigated dis
tricts, l can't help it. Land that
sold for $3.50 an acre is now held
at from one hundred to five hundred
dollars"
However, climatic conditions, do
nestle water and soil is not all the
requirements for a successful irrigat-
ed section Added to this must be
An assured water supply for irriga-
ton purposes. Here again does the
Great North Side tract equal if not
surpass most of the irrigated sections
of the northwest. AS will be noted
from the illustration above, we have
two reservoirs located on the tract
in which to impound any surplus wat
er during the flood season, and in
which it is hoped to store enough
water during this flood season to sup
ply the tract during the extreme dry
season. However, until this is ac-
complished, the company are under
contract to furnish supply of water
from the Jackson Lake reservoir, To-
Gated at the head waters of the
Snake river, equal to 100000 acre
feet, which insures the tract an
abundant supply of water at al
times.
With all of these prerequisites, the
settlers on the Great North Side
tract may be pardoned for claiming
residence on the greatest irrigated
project In the northwest.

TEXAS WILL WIPE OUT
ILLITERACY IN STATE

AUSTIN, Tex. April 3.-Texas has
fired the first shot at illiteracy in
the solid south" by passing a COM
pulsory school attendance law. Tex
as, the least iHiterate state in the
south, is still the thlrty-seventh state
in the Union in degree of llteracy.
Following her lead, 1t is expected 9TH
er commonwealths below the Mason
and Dixon line win adopt compulsory
education.
The Texas legislature, just adjourn
ed, enacted a law to compel the at
tendance at school of every child ov-
er seven years OF age at least six
months every year until the age of
IL is reached. But the bill does not
go into effect until September, 1915,
and for the next three years the max
imum of six months attendance is not
enforceable. No child of twelve
years or over can be compelled to at
tend school If he has completed the
fourth grade and his assistance is
needed in the home.
While this law may not compare
favorably with stricter measures in
northern states 1t is considered fair
beginning for a state so long stepped
in child labor and illiteracy, The
advocates of the measure in the 1915
legislature were confident the law
would be improved in future sessions.
1t was bitterly fought in both branch
es Of this legislature.
