officials of Mckinney are employing
advanced means for the disposition
OF stray dogs-electrocution.
Chloroform and shotgun methods
have been supplanted by the quicker
form of capital punishment. A spec.

17REATING THE SUBJECT OF
Carey Act Problems Of
A Idaho With Suggestions for
Their Solution" Repres entativ
Ernest Anderson, vice chairman of the
irrigation and drainage code commits
sion, points out the fundamental mis-
takes that have been made in the de-
yelopment Of these projects. He also
discusses the duty OF water. Each one
OF the projects inspected by the COM
mission is treated separately by Rep
resentative Anderson. after which he
makes the following concluding state
ment:
perhaps the greatest mistake and
that recurring most often at the time
OF the initiation of the various Carey
act projects of the state was the neg
Iect in ascertaining the water supply
for the project proposed TO be irri-
gated On comparatively few OF the
streams were to be had accurate data
as to their annual run off. Few
gauging stations had been maintain
ed, and even what few records that
we're available were usually very in
complete IT seemed that about all
the construction and promotion com
panies wanted was the segregation of
as large areas of land as they could
possibly secure from the state land
board, and that they be allowed to
sell water rights for as much per
acre as the traffic would bear. The
land boards of those days were usually
composed of inexperienced men and
often acceeded to the requests of the
construction and promotion compan-
los. Then the Carey act idea was a
new one and in the rapid development
of our lands under this method errors
naturally arose.
During the last few years numer.
Gus experiments have been conducted
in the state relative to the amount OF
water required to properly mature
the various crops usually grown II
southern Idaho. These experiment.
have been quite thorough and exhaus
tive and comparatively accurate dats
on this subject is now available as u

SOME CAREY ACT PROBLEMS IN IDAHO
WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR SOLUTION

what the duty of water ought to be
in those sections where the stations
were conducted. There are those who
entertain the view that the commits
sion should not have restricted the
sale of water rights and recommend
ed acreage reduction on the projects
where there appeared a shortage of
water, but that instead it should have
recommended that the duty of water
Lc increased Such a theory may look
acceptable on paper, but there is
limit to which water can be spread
over given quantity of land. II
takes a certain amount of water to
properly mature crop and there are
maXimums and minimums within
which the duty of water must ever
remain. To raise the duty of water
to a point where the crop burns out
IS as bad as to drown out the crop and
water log the land Too little water
is a. bad for the farmer as is too
much, and on some of the projects
visited the supply was wholly made
quate On one OF the projects visited
it. appeared that the company has
agreed 10 deliver a quantity of water
that seemed excessive In other words,
that their contracts call for more wa
ter than the settler can apply to bene-
fetal use when the same shall be de-
liyered TO him-a state of facts that
did not exist during the past year ow-
/ ing to the shortage. The decision in
the case above referred to, precluded
the commission from taking any other
view as to the liability of the COM
pany to supply the amount of water
that they agreed to deliver to the set
tiers. The constitution Of the state
limits the amount of water that a set
tier may have to that beneficially APP
piled, and if it shall subsequently de-
velop that the water rights he has
purchased call for water in excess of
his actual needs he cannot expect to
receive the same under our constitu-
ton, which limits the amount of wa
ter that can be diverted to that bene-
ficially applied"

AMSTERDAM FARMER WRITES
LANDBOARD ASKING REDRESS

In a letter to the state land board,
Gerrit l.. Peters of Amsterdam calls
the attention Of that body to condi-
tons on the tract in a forcible man
ner. He says that most of the set
tiers have been hauling water Tor
stock a long distance; that others are
melting snow inferentially for use In
their homes; that some are selling
their stock by reason of lack OF wa
ter; that they have lost most of their
investments; that their children have
been robbed of an opportunity to go
to school; that the loss of the settlers
will exceed that of the bondholders In
any event, and that as the settlers
bought on the incorrect statements
of a previous land board, the state
should in some way make good to
them. .4f

THAT THE HUGE DAM at the
lower end of Jackson Lake,
Wyoming, is rs per cent COM
pleted is the statement made by
DR.. Clifton E. Young, of the United
States reclamation service, recently in
Spokane. This project is unique in
many aspects.
Owing to peculiar local conditions
storage capacity will be about $4,000
acre feet, or practically three times
that of the great Arrowrock dam near
Boise Idaho, while its cost will be
less than 100000, as against nearly
$5,0O0,000 for the latter project.
The Jackson dam is being con-
structed by the government reclama-
ton service not to open up additional
lands, but to provide adequate water
service for lands already under irri-
CATION, which at present suffer dur
ing the dry season. None of the wa
ter stored by holding back the over
flowing of Jackson lake will be used
in Wyoming, but is designed for use
in adjacent states, particularly ON the
government tracts near Rupert and
Minidoka, Idaho.
Settlers on these lands, covering
several hundred thousand acres, have
undergone hardships for number of
years, the system as planned by the
government service having proved in
adequate in regard to the water sup
ply. The completion of the Wyoming
project will assure ample water for
all this section of Idaho.
Transportation across the Teton
mountains has proved to be the great

est obstacle to the government engi-
neers, construction having been sim
pie as compared with other projects.
Most of the work has been done by
floating dredge of the type often used
in drainage canal construction This
dredge was installed at the upper end
of the creek which empties into Jack
son lake, and dug its own canal by
cutting out the banks of the stream
with powerful rotary knives, the earth
being drawn up by centrifugal pumps
and distributed where needed by be-
ling blown thrown long pipes. Most
of the embankment or dyking work
was done by this method, which &C
counts for its low cost.
DR.. Young states that this project,
as well as others of the United States
reclamation service, has aroused
worldwide interest, as was shown by
the fact that an engineer was recent
ly sent by the Russian government to
inspect the Jackson lake project and
collect data for use in that country.
There are hundreds of millions of
acres in Russia that would be greatly
benefited by irrigation, and it is plan
ned to take up this work there in the
near future.
at is to be hoped" says Dr. Young,
THAT the government will decide TO
undertake the construction of a SINH
lar dam, providing about the same
storage, at Payette lake, Idaho, for
which preliminary survey has been
made Should this be done all the
territory in Idaho which is now short
of water will be amply provided for. "

WILSON PLANNING 1ar
TARIFF COMMISSION

WASHINGTON - President Wilson
will soon recommend the enactment.
of legislation providing for perman-
ent tariff commission. ''"f
An administration bill for the crea-
ton of such a commission virtually is
ready now and may be laid before con
gress in a special message by the
president The objects of the COM

the tariff and to coordinate similar
powers now believed to be held by
existing governmental agencies.
The legislation is designed particu-

BUHL FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
SHOW A SPLENDID GAIN.

That the west end metropolis, Bull,
is an agricultural center may be read
lily seen in glancing over the figures
giving the number of carloads of the
several products exported from Bull
during the year ending December 81,
1915, says the Bull Herald. There
was a total of 9S4 carloads of Outgo-
ing shipments for the twelve months,
besides over three hundred cars which
would not come under the list of car
load shipments, and are not counted
in making up the totals The latter
shipments were made up of part of
a car of wheat, apples, spuds, seeds,
etc
The outgoing shipments for the year
1915, ending December 31st, were 1876
carloads more of the same products,
and covering the same period for the
previous year In 1914 there was a
total of 7S9 carloads of exports. The
one item which is noticeable over last
years shipments, is seeds. Last year
there were nine carloads of seeds sent
out from Bull, and this year there
were six times as many. Apple ex-
ports show an increase of five times
as many over last year, and the wool
shipments have doubled. The total
increase OF all shipments was nearly
25 per cent over the year ending De-
cember 31st, 1914.
