THE PATENTS GRANTED.
Patents on Lands on the First and
Second Segregations Issued
to the State.

The pleasing news reached Jerome
early Tuesday morning that the Sec
retary OF the Interior had placed his
signature to the document whereby
the government issues To the State OF
Idaho. patents for $4,000 acres of
Carey act land embraced in the first
and second segregations of the Twin
Falls North Side tract. The news
came in telegram from Attorney
Walters who has been in Washington
for some time looking after this i'm
nortant matter AS was stated last
week. the issuance of these patents
had been practically assured by the
act OF the company in arranging to
deposit bonds with the state for the
completion of the system. and also
the resirvoir at Jackson Lake.
The securing of these patents has
been a very slow and tiresome prob
lem, as it is we'll known that the
government is very slow TO issue pat
ents on Carey act lands until 1t is
assured beyound a question of doubt
that the lands in question have a
sufficient water supply To reclaim
the same, and the fact that these
patents have been issued indicates
that the government Is assured Of a
sufficient water supply for these
lands. which fact should instill into
the minds OF the settlers on the tract
feeling OF confidence
1t is the general belief that the is
suing OF these patents will put new
life into the tract. as they will serve
as a basis OF credit for the settlers
and capital will be more willing tC
enter this field, as II is we'll known
that loaning companies are adverse
to placing loans on unpatented lands
With these patents secured the SET
tiers on the tract will also be in Z
position to petition for loans from
the state which are made at six pc
cent, privilege they have thus ia
been denied, having been compelled
to borrow money from other source
at a higher rate of interest.
On the other hand 1t places tn
construction company on muc
better financial basis. and we are as
sured that the work of completin
the system will now go forward with
out any interruption. Plans nav
been completed for the canal that
to be built around the reservoir VII
the exception OF some minor detail
and II is the intention OF The con
pany to start this work without dc
lay so that the same will be read
to use as soon as water is turned INT
the canals in the spring. The WI
ter has been turned out of the maj
canal and work on this Will con
mence next week. and a large for'
put on the same. that as much r.
pairing as possible may be accoml
lished before freezing weather Sc
in.
