OBSERVATIONS OF
AN AMERICAN
Believes Holland will Join the Allies
And Germany is Preparing to
Invade Britain

London, Feb. 8.-Besides Roumania,
Bulgaria, Greece and Italy, it is quite
probable that Holland will enter the
war soon. The Germans seem to have
less doubts about the advent of the
Netherlands as combatant than
the Allies. An American who has
just arrived here after extended trav-
els in Germany makes this clear.
The Kaiser has concentrated two
f1H army. corps near the German
Dutch border. Defence works have al
so been erected in the latter region.
Germans realize that the open hos
tility of Holland would be a great blow
to their cause They believe the AL
lies have no chance to push them out
Of Belgium if Holland remains neu-
tral, but both in Berlin and at the
Hague, it is realized that a declara-
tion of war would be blow at the
heart of Germany. 1t would imperil
the rich Westphailan mining and in
dustrial district.
The Dutch believe that if the Ger
mans win this war the Netherlands
will be part of Germany in all but
name. Many argue that this reason
should be enough to induce Holland to
cast her lot with the allies. The en-
try of Roumania or Italy in list
against the Teutonic nations would go
a long way to bringing the Dutch
too.
There are rumors in Germany, said
this. American, that an army of 250,-
900 is concentrated at Bremen waiting
favorable opportunity to invade
England. He said:
81 visited much of the Rhine dis
trict, and at Cologne there are 100,-
900 troops concentrated, 10000 at
Dusseldorf and 100, 1000 at Wesel. Ger
many will have more than 100000
men in the western area of war by
spring. AS for food, there is not the
slightest indication of a shortage, and
much laughing is caused among Ger
mans in the pathetic accounts of their
supposed sad plight, as related in the
English press. German officials are
we'll aware that the British officials
know Germany can hold out for two
years or more.

This company built storage works on
the project, namely. Wilson Lake and

on these storage works. they
found that water was disappearing so
rapidly through innumerable openings

question. Arrangements to rent water
were then made with the United States

up to a contract with the U. S. II. s.,

IRRIGATION ALONG SNAKE RIVER.
Some History of Early Work Taken
Up to Settlers Forty Years Ago.

The following interesting paper on
irrigation in this part of the valley
and something of the early history of
irrigation and the present methods
adopted was read by Engineer W. q.
Cotton at a recent meeting of irriga-
ton engineers and published in irri-
cation journals and magazines, at
tracing a great deal of attention and
favorable comment.
The paper follows:
AS early as 1875 considerable of
what is now known as the fertile
Snake river valley was irrigated. This
early irrigation was accomplished by
the Independent settlers, who took
water from Snake river or Willow
creek-a tributary of Snake river in
small bitches, to accommodate their
own needs; a few years later com
panies of these settlers were organized
for the purpose of diverting sufficient
water from the river for other lands,
and still others, until in 1900 there
were forty-five canals diverting from
the main river and the south fork
But until the United States reclama-
ton service was organized very few
measurements were made along the
river in order to determine wha,
amounts were being used or what
amount was available for use: 1t
seemed sufficient at that time and for
a long time thereafter, to say that
Snake river was a large river, even
below the last diversion, and paople
In the neighborhood Of American
Falls were of the opinion that there
must be plenty of water in Upper
Snake river such years as 1896. 1901.
1902, 1903 and 1905, when Snake river
went dry at Blackfoot according to
government records, but on account of
the steady inflow between Blackfoot
and American Falls, caused by springs
and small tributaries, the impression
would be left on the casual observer
that there was plenty OF water in the
river. In 1904 surveys made by the
U. S. R. S., for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the amount of land cultivated
and the amount of water used, showed
that there were $4,000 acres irrigated
in the upper Snake river valley, in
GLIDING 2 $1,000 acre tributary to the
North Fork, which has twenty-six
canals of various sizes diverting there
from.
The legislature of the state of Idaho
In 1895 provided for the acceptance
of the Act of Congress known as the
Carey act and passed a law providing
that persons desiring to construct ir.
rigation works under the provisions o!
this Act should present their proposals
