NOT ENOUGH WATER
FOR LAND INCLUDED
Charge Also Made That
Lands Are Being Held to
Exclusion of Bona Eide
Entrymen-Report on the
Darlington Project Is
Given.

State Engineer J. H. Smith has not
changed his mind with regard to the
Hegsted project and in a report to the
state land board sets forth he can see
no merit to it as a Carey act project.
In separate report regarding the Oar
lington Land & Irrigation company
which was before the state land board
the first of the week he says that no.
tice should be served on the various
entrymen to show cause why their con-
tract should not be cancelled, and the
entries cancelled unless reasons for not
doing so are shown.
At the land board meeting the early
part of the week 1t was said that the
lands within the Hegsted project were
being held to the exclusion Of bona fide
entrymen and that there was not
enough water to irrigate them. The
board showed a disposition to cancel
the contract of the company with the
state and throw the lands open to entry
but first referred the matter to the
state engineer.
AGAINST SEGREGATION.
In his report on this reference the
state engineer says: II have gone
carefully over the amended proposal;
but find nothing therein to cause me
to alter the statement made to you in
two previous reports, one dated Aug
10, 1915 and one July II, 1916, which are
here appended. Both reports recon-
mend that the segregation be not made
can see no merit in the proposition as
Carey act project. The water supply
is too small to be worth $40 per acre.
The dam site is not a very favorable
one, and the dam can not be built for
$4,000. The soil is rich and affords
profitable dry farming; the ,season
short and very little irrigation would
be resorted to even if an abundance OF
water were available. l am thoroughly
convinced there is nothing to justify
adding $40 per acre to this land for
water rights. 1t should be returned 20
the public and settlers allowed to file
upon it. While it is true that irriga-
ton increases the value of crop pro-
duction on this land, said increase is
very small and not sufficient to war;
rant Carey act project
DARLINGTON PROJECT.
Regarding the Darlington project the
state engineer has this to say: Il
would recommend that after serving
notice upon the various entrymen
complained of to show cause why their
contracts should not be cancelled. the
same be cancelled unless reasons for
not doing SO are shown. This is a
regular proceeding and one that be-
comes necessary on all the Carey act
enterprises. There are involved in 1t nc
questions OF water supply or engineer
ing"

NO ACTION EXPECTED
ON POINDEXTER BILL
The Measure Will Go Over
to the Next Session,
When Determined Effort
Will Be Made to Secure
It's Enactment.

There will be general conference at
some point in the intermountain coun-
try to be selected later by the sena-
tors and representatives of the various
western states for the purpose of dis
cussing ard adopting definite pol
icy to be pursued in connection with
the long and short haul case Of such
importance to this section. A. l.. Free
hafer, a member of the Idaho public
utilities commission, today made this
announcement.
He said it was not planned to push
the bill offered by Senator Poin dex-
ter of Washington which seeks to reg
ulate the long and short haul and
give the intermountain territory with
a short haul, lower rate than ter
minals on the coast with a long haul,
during the present short session Of
congress, but to follow up its intro
duction at this session, with line
of attack in the following session that
will result in the passage of the bill.
TO GATHER DATA.
1T is not the desire of those in
terested in the fight for a lower
freight rate to the intermountain ter
ritory to go before the present con-
gress unarmed by the necessary data
to pull the bill through" said Com
missioner Freehafer. Those interest
ed desire to be we'll organized to meet
any opposition. For that reason the
organization work behind the Poindex-
ter bill will proceed steadily from
now on. Plans are under way to ar
range for a conference of the senator's
and representatives of the western
states to be held early next summer at
which time 1t is hoped concerted pro-
gram can be agreed upon by them to
take hold of the fight to be made in
the next congress-
Shippers of the intermountain states
believe that in all fairness they are
entitled to at least a freight rate no
higher than the rate to the coast on
the long haul and the majority of them
are convinced that with The advantage
of the short haul the intermountafn
territory should be given a lower rate
than the rate to the coast which re-
quires a longer haul.
IDAHO DELEGATION IN LINE.
Senator Peindexter makes it plain
in. his bill that the intermountain ter
ritory should be given lower rate
over tte Pacific coast points. With the
backing of other western senators and
representatives he is prepared to prove
the business of this claim.
The interstate commerce commits
sion now has under advisement the
evidence taken at various hearings
held in the middle west and west re-
garding the long and short haul prob
lem. Evidence was submitted at both
the Salt Lake and the Spokane hear
ings by the Idaho public utilities COM
mission going to show the alleged un-
business of the freight rates TO the
intermountain country as compared to
the rates to the coast.
President Ramstedt OF the Idaho
commission has taken up with Sena-
tor Brady the ACCESSIBILITY of the Idaho
delegation in congress getting behind
the Poindexter bill and has been as
sured Of the undivided support of the
delegation.
