BILL PROVIDES
FOR LEASING POWER
BY GOVERNMENT

After a consultation with the Sec
rotary of the Interior, Congressman
Addison t. Smith has introduced a
bill. authorizing the Secretary to en-
ter into lease for period of so years
to the surplus power on Government
reclamation projects to irrigation dis
tricts for the reclamation of arid lands.
The money derived from such leases
shall be converted into the Reclama-
ton fund and be placed to the credit
of the project from which said power
is derived. The bill also provides that
no lease shall b. made for such sur
plus power or power privileges as
will impair the efficiency of the irriga-
ton project. The enactment of the
proposed law, while applicable to all
power sites within reclamation pro-
jeots, would be especially beneficial
to the Gem Irrigation district adjoin-
ing the Boise Payette Project. There
are large power possibilities at the
Arrowrock dam. and estimates have
been made of the cost of constructing
power pant and furnishing power for
pumping purposes. The State of Ida
no has about ten thousand acres of
land within the Gem Irrigation dis
trict and would be interested in hav-
ing water made available for this land
at minimum cost. The proposed leg
islation gives preference in the sale of
the power to irrigation districts which
are mutual concerns, and the Govern
ment would not therefore be entering
the electrical field in competition with
commercial companies.

place. Suddenly Southern Pacific Of

Southern Pacific elected not to equip
an army, but sought the courts for an

but the Western Pacific soldiers did

10 the Hay Growers of Idaho:

The Honorable
The Secretary of the Interior.
Sir:
Il have your letter of July Is, con-
tanning further information in regard
to the lands in the Deer Flat Bird Res
ervation on the Boise Reclamation
Project. with list of the lands which
it has been suggested might be re-
leased from the bird reservation
1T appears that these public lands
are subject to irrigation under the
canal system which has been con-
structed by the Reclamation Service,
but most of the Is tracts in question
are fractional lots and the total acre
age is small The release of the lands
mentioned in your letter will practi-
cally wipe out the Deer Flat Bird Res
ervation, as the few small tracts re-
naming on the north shore of the lake
are insufficient to carry out the pur-
poses for which the reservation was
created. Under these circumstances
and after due consideration of the en-
tire matter, | have reached the conclu-
sion that the lands in question are OF
greater value to this Department and
to the people of Idaho as bird reserve
than for agricultural purposes. and
their value in the future is likely to be
much greater than at present.
THE Deer Flat Bird Reservation is
the only National Bird Reservation in
the southwestern part of Idaho and is
annually visited by large numbers OF
people from the neighboring towns OF
Boise and Nampa. Its value as a bird
refuge was demonstrated almost inn
mediatcly upon its creation, as shown
by the thousands of ducks, geese, and
swans which regularly stop on the
reservation during the autumn and
spring migrations and by the number
Of birds which remain about the res,
ervoir in summer although nesting or
lands bordering the reservation. The
Department has been at some expense
for warden service in patroling this
reservation and is experimenting tC
ascertain to what extent a reservation
can successfully be conducted on {
body of water which is annually Wis
tied by so many people as come to the
Deer Flat Reserve. | therefore dc
not see my way clear to relinquisf
the lands in question forming part oil

Small But Well Pleased Audience
Hears Candidate for Governor.

Senator d. w. Davis of American
Falls addressed a small audience at

the audience was not large it was
about as large as usually turns out in
Caldwell.
Senator Davis presented his plan
OF handling the resources of the state
replying in particular to criticisms
that have been made. His address
carried conviction to the audience. His
plan of operation appears perfectly
feasible. 1t is too bad that a larger
audience did not turn out to hear the
Senator.
Outlook is Bright.
Senator Davis states that he is con-
hdent OF the nomination. He is re-
cciving the warmest encouragement
from all sections of the state. Word
from north Idaho is particularly graf
flying, as he has been promised strong
support from that section.

to carry strong. He will make thor
