HOLD WATER SUPPLY
IS ADVICE OF HOBBS
BuhI Man Urges Caution in Re-
gard to Further ExtOntiOn
DECLARES ALL WATER WILL BE
NEEDED ON PRESENT PROJECT
Believes That Canals Should BE Ce-
mented mt Certain Points to Conserve
Water Going to Loss.

That the stockholders of the Twin
Falls Canal company should proceed
with caution in the matter of allowing
appropriations of water for the irri-
eating of new propositions, evidently
referring to Hansen butte is the sub
stance of a communication, in the form
of an open letter to the company
stockholders, received yesterday by
THE TIMES from e. R. Hobbs of
Bull, with the request that it be Civ
en- publication. Mr.. Hobbs argues in
effect that when all the land already
available shall be brought under cul-
tivation there will be no surplus of
water left which can be appropriated
for other purposes. The open lette"
except caption and signature is as
follows:
"NOw that the sale of $4,000 acres
of water from our canal system is be
ing advocated, it might be well to in
vestigate the matter a little and lock
beneath the surface, before a definite
conclusion is arrived at
"Since the development of the
Twin Falls tract, two additional
sources of water supply have
been added to our system, the $4,000
acre feet of Jackson Lake reservoir
water, to guard against an occasion
al shortage of water in the latter part
of the seasons, and 600 second feet of
direct flow from the river, to guard
against a shortage every year during
the growing season, when our require
ments are greatest.
But now the Twin Falls CONNER
cial club comes forward with the
statement that if we would cement
our canal that we would have a sur
plus of 700 second feet of water to
spare, that is now being lost by see
page, most of which could be saved
by cementing the canal for the first
ten miles. Let us consider.
Last month the manager informed
the board of directors, that the past
season he had found it necessary 10
run 1850 second feet of water, to en-
able him to give the waterusers thei
d allowance, 1t may be explained thai
! this amount was required because OF
/ faulty distribution, but as perfec
distribution is an impossibility, the
/ same condition will always apply, anC
/ Mr Harlan in 1912 used $500 second
feet, with not nearly as much lan'
under cultivation, as in 1916.
"As yet, much of our land has neve
been cultivated the 1916 crop repor
shows only 170,O47 acres under cult
walton, and our secretary informed tn
board in November that when the com
pulsory sale of water to state land
was completed, that the system woul'
probably comprise over 205,000 acres
If the entire canal had been cement
ed, and the 700 second feet saved, w
would have used 2950, and if thi
amount is required for 170,047 acre
205,000 acres will require 1856 or al
lowing that for different reasons W
will have only 100000 acres under cul

". P. BELIEVED IN
NEW RAILROAD PLAN
Offers Ten Million Dollars in Bonds
for Extensions in Nevada and Idaho
Short Line Also Suspected.

That the Western Pacific railroad is
behind the project to build a line of
railroad from Boise through Twin
Falls to Wells, Nevada, submitted last
week to the Boise Commercial club
and endorsed by that body, is the gen
eral opinion of those familiar with the
railroad situation, although nobody
has any real dope" in regard to the
matter. Two weeks ago the Western
Pacific offered for sale $10,000,00O
of bonds through advertisements for
the avowed purpose of building ex-
tensions in Nevada and Idaho, and it
has been understood that when such
extensions would be built they would
include a line from Wells through
this city, That there is a possibility
that the Oregon Short Line is behind
the move for the purpose of hea ling
off its rival is admitted. While there
are some who hold to the theory that
the proposition comes from absolutely
Independent capitalists, the majority of
the people here are inclined to think
otherwise.
