TIME TO COMPLETE RESERVOIR
Extension Granted to Twin Falls
North Side Company.

An extension of time was granted
by the state land board Monday to the
Twin Falls North Side Land & Water
company for the completion of work
being done at Jackson lake, Wyoming,
to provide additional storage for the
Twin Falls North Side irrigation pro-
iect.
When the comopany and the land
board entered into the agreement I'M
der which the work is being done 1t
was specified that the Jackson lake
reservoir should be completed by Au-
gust q of this year. Judge Walters
appeared before the board for the
company, and under the showing he
made an extension was granted until
October Is, 1916
When the Twin Falls North Side
project was laid out storage reser-
voir was built at Jerome. Suisse
quently it was found that it would not
hold sufficient water. 1t was there
fore decided to utilize Jackson lake

The company made an arrangement
with the United States reclamation
service under which that organization

IDAHO At ITS BEST
Head OF Woolgrowers' Association
Misfnformed.

Assistant General Manager G. G.
Wright, OF the Consolidated Wagon
4 Machine Company, was seen at this
office yesterday and asked Of the
testimony given by DR.. Mcclure, sec
rotary OF the National Woolgrowers'
Association before the interstate COM
merce commission recently and asked
his opinion regarding the statements
made by Mcclure.
Mr.. Wright stated: THAT during a
26-years' residence in Idaho / have
never seen crop conditions better or
the indications for business better
than now. The people are buying
needed goods and supplies freely and
are meeting their obligations as we'll
as they have at any time within that
period, and l am at loss to under
stand why such statement can have
been made. DR.. Mcclure is either mis-
informed, is ignorant of conditions, or
else was trying to create an impress
sion that the livestock interests of
Idaho are not in position to pay the
increased rates asked by the railroad
company, and in doing so painted a
dismal picture not at all true to con-
ditions nor borne out by the facts.
There is only one part of his state
ment that | can bear with him on"
said Mr.. Wright, ''and that is in re-
gard to the fruit condition and think
maybe he is partly right in that and
that the effort to make this section of
/, Idaho fruit state from a commercial
viewpoint is wrong and think the fruit
sections of the state have gone in too
strong.
IF the condition such as he states
prevails in Idaho, the other sections of
the United States affected by flood
and drought, poor crops and general
bad conditions, have my pity"
Mr. Wright, with others associated
with the c. w. & M. Co., made 1900
mile auto trip recently in order to
check up business and crop conditions
as that information is needed in their
business, and at that time, two weeks
ago, felt well satisfied with the good
showing made in the great territory
covered. Senator Brady and others
have absolutely denied the statements
made by the head of the Woolgrow-
ers' Association.

RUSH CONSTRUCTION WORK
Company to Spend Several Thousand

G. M. Hall, general manager Of the
Canal company, has received instruc-
tons from A. G. Robinson, the chair
man of the bondholders' protective
committee, to proceed with the work
designated by the state engineers Of
flee to complete the canal system. The
inspection for the state was made by
engineers j. M. Burkett and Walter
Hyde, Mr.. Hyde doing some work
during the winter, and Mr.. Burkett
completing the job last spring. Most
of the work was done by Mr. Burkett
who inspected every main canal and
lateral on the system, and reported to
the engineers Office on each one. His
report is too long for publication in
full, as every item Of work is men
toned specifically. The work consists
principally of concrete checks and
drops in the large laterals and some in
the smaller distributing laterals; some
Of the larger tasks being summarized
below.

Mr.. Hall states that the opportunity
of doing this work will be given to
the settlers on the project and to make
1t more convenient for them, he will
delay 1t until after the rush of har-
vest. Whether the work done by the
settlers will be paid for in cash, or
whether portion only will be paid in
cash and the balance credited on next
years maintenance payments, has not
as yet been determined.

ficiently to store water for the Twin
Falls North Side project
Judge Walters brought before the
board evidence to show that the work
has been prosecuted with due dill
gence. He said six hundred thousand
dollars had already been expended and
that it will require two hundred thou
sand dollars more to finish the lob.
The work, though done by the recla-
nation service, is being paid for by
the North Side Land & Water COM
pany. He said all the work done to
date had been paid for and there
was money available for the balance,
but more time was needed. The board
was unanimous in granting the ex-
tension.
The board took up the question of
loans and granted IL small ones. AS
the evidence in the King Hill case,
wherein it was charged that the man
ager of that project worked men more
than eight hours, was not at hand, the
case was not considered The board
will probably hold more meetings this
week
