Big Increase Shown on
Minidoka Lands Says Re-
port Of United States Rec
lamation Service.
Development Is Reflected in
Growth of Burley, Rupert
and Paul-Building Ac-
tivity-Money Goes Back
to Farms.

The Minidoka irrigation project en-
toyed prosperity this year, the crops
raised representing a valuation of S.
100000, an increase of $4,000, 900 over
the crops raised in 1916. Barry Dib-
BILE, manager for the United States
PROCLAMATION service on the project,
gives out these facts for publication to-
gether with others as interesting. He
has issued for publication the follow
Ing statement:
The Minidoka project of the U. S.
reclamation service has made a re-
markable record during the season of
1917. Preliminary estimates Of the
crops have just been prepared by the
reclamation service which show that
these amount to practically 100000
for the season as compared with ST.
100000 in 1916.
The acreage in cultivation has in
creased from $4,000 in 1916 to 100000
In 1917. out of total irrigable area
of 10000. The alfalfa crop alone
amounts to $4,000 tons as compared
with $4,000 in 1916. 1t represents al
most one-half of the total value of
the crops. Potatoes are the second
crop in value and the yield has in
creased from 459,700 bushels to 1,047.-
900 bushels, representing a value of
over million dollars in 1917. The
production of wheat has increased
from $4,000 bushels to $4,000 bushels.
The price fixed for wheat amounting
to s1.22 bushel makes the total value
of this crop 100000.
BUILDING ACTIVITY.
The acreage in sugar beets has in
creased markedly and two sugar fac
tories on the project are assured an
ample tonnage for successful cam
paigns.
The great development Of the project
Is reflected in the growth of the prin-
cipal towns which are Burley, Rupert,
and Paul. Building activity in these
communities is very great. Burley
alone claims buildings erected during
1917 have cost over a million dollars.
Much of the money secured from
the 1917 crop is going back into the
farms in the way of improvements,
and 1t Is evident from the work being
done by the farmers that another year
will see a very material reduction in
the area which is still uncultivated.
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.
The following Is a comparative state
ment as to the value of the crops
raised on the project this year and
last year:

ANSWER TO PEACE
NOTE NOW READY

London-The final daft Of the re-
ply OF the es.tente allies to President
Wilson's peace note, which already has
been approved by France and Great
Britain. has been forwarded to Italy
and Russia and, as no changes have
been suggested thus far from those
quarters. it is not improbable the note
win be delivered to the American am
hassador in Paris. William G. Sharp.
without change.
In its present form the reply is
about the same length as the note 70
the central powers and has the same
characteristics of general and guard
ed language. One of the most impor-
tant points is differentiation be-
tween peace among the present bel
ligerents and such future arrange
ments as may be made for permanent
peace, the purpose being to show neu-
trail uphoiders of future permanent
peace that this Is attainable.

CLAIM VICTORY ON S0MME
Hais Says Allies Can Defeat Germans
on Western Front.

London.-The battle of the Somme
is pictured as sweeping triumph for
entente allied arms in detailed re-
port by General Sir Douglas Haig.
which covers operations from July
to November is. General Haig terms
the battle triumph in which the Ger
man western armies were only saved
from complete collapse and a decisive
defeat by q protracted period of un-
favorable weather that prevented the
Anglo-French forces from taking full
advantage of their successful advance.
He declares that nevertheless it
was triumph which proved beyond
doubt the ability Of the allies to over
throw Germany when the time
comes" The British commander
shows himself firm believer in the
doctrine that the entente allies can
win the war on the western front.

OPTIONS 0N LAND AT MUSCLE SHOALS
 BEING ACQUIRED Federal Government Thus Indicates Its Purpose of Permanent Development PEOPLE MUST SHOW
 FULL COOPERATION Bankhead and Underwood Will Carry This Message in Speeches Before the
 Florence Chamber of
 Commerce
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, November 9.-(SpeciaD It is definitely established tonight that the government Is rapidly acquir- ing options on an extensive acreage in the vicinity of Muscle shoals.
 The options, if acquired, would give the government foundation onto which to lay n dam across the Ten nessee river and would also guarantee the government against damages from overflowinE waters.
 Beyond dispute the foregoing is .he first definite indication that the govern ment will develop Muscle Shoals, and by the air for the manufacture of exp,o- sives and fertilizer. It Is declared. how ever, that even if options are obtained. the government would not be bound to expend the entire appropriation of so, ooO.ooo or any part at Muscle Shoals.
 In this connection it is significant that tomorrow night at Florence a meeting of citizens will be called, at which Sen ators Bankhead and Underwood will de- liver an important message. It is learned that they will carry no authoritative
 
 people that Muscle Shoals will win the nitrogen plant. But they are author ixed, it Is established, to state as a fact that as a necessary preliminary to the governments construction of the nitrate plant on the Tennessee river, the people must heartily and enthusiastically CO., operate with the government to the end that without excessive cost the govern mert is possessed of the necessary op- tions.
 On account of what is learned here to. might. southerners in Congress are elated at the indication that the long fight for Muscle Shoals is nearing a successful conclusion. If the indications are born out in fact, the United States will be made independent of the saltpetre beds of Chile. and through the energy oi abundant cheap fertilizer, the south will become the garden spot of the world.
