Schroeder has made many friends

many enemies, who are, in no way
sorry to know that she is to leave

Personally we consider her one oil
the strongest lieutenants of the
present political machine which the
patrons of The Dales schools are
very desirous of eliminating, and to
most people it will mean but the be-

others in our schools who might

Claims Water is Ours
Pointed out that No Other Source of Supply
is Available for Half Million Acres of Land
In Elmore County and that Wster was Filed
on for Sunnyside Several Years Ago.

The Elmore Development League
at its meeting Thursday evenin
took UP the matter of the diversion
OF the waters of the south fork O
the Boise river and adopted at Sc
OF resolutions introduced by w. H
Gibson, stating the facts and claim.
we OF Elmore county have on tha
stream, over the people of the Blacl
Canyon.
The resolutions are as follows:
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas: 1t appears that since
the Resolutions of the Elmore De
velopment League of Mountain Home
adopted in open session of saiG
League on December T. 1916, protest
ing against the diversion of the un
used waters of the Arrow Rock
reservoir, to lands lying between the
Boise and Payette rivers in Canyon
county, Idaho, or to what is known
as the Black Canyon District lands,
that the United States Reclamation
Service has indicated a purpose to
divert portion of said waters to
said Black Canyon District lands,
namely, a sufficient amount of said
stored water to irrtgate approximately
$1,000 acres of sad Black Canyon
District lands and to divert a por-
tion of said storage, namely, a suf-
ficient amount of sad stored water
to irrgiate approximately $4,000 acres
of what is known as Hill Crest Dis
trict lands lying south of the Boise
river in Ada county, Idaho, and
Whereas: 1t still appears to this
League to be inimical and detriment-
al to the largest possible develop
ment of Western Idaho that any of
the waters of the Boise river drain
age should be diverted to any lands
which may posstb y be reclaimed from
the waters of the Payette river, and
Whereas: This League fully be-
lieves that all the unappropriatedl
and unused waters of the Boise river
drainage can be used to great bene-
fit on the land lying between the
Boise and Snake rivers in Ada, Can
yon and Elmore counties and that
no other waters are available for
the irrigation and reclamation of
said lands
Therefore: The Elmore Develop
ment League of Mountain Home
again solemnly and earnestly protests
against the diversion of any of the
unused stored waters of the Arrow
Rock reservoir to the Black Canyon
District or any portion thereof.
This League respectfully represents
mat tnat vast tract OF land lying
in the eastern portion of Ada county
and the western portion of Elmore
county known as the Sunnyside Dis
,rict, embracing upwards of 100000
acres of the finest of Idaho soils
can be irrigated and reclaimed only
