During the irrigation season this length of
canals and laterals is operated each dav BIZ

mately 20 miles of canal and operates from
50 to 80 headgates or Individual deliveries

that the distribution system has been prac-

However, there has been quite an active

to putting the project in the best possible
shape before its announcement as completed
Ly the secretary of the interior, so that the
cost OF future maintenance will be reduced
to the lowest possible point The construc-
ton work on the lateral system during the
past year has included the placement OF 7S2
concrete and masonry structures: lOll lin

reinforced concrete chutes; 2O35 cubic yards
OF concrete canal lining, and 10000 square

visitor upon driving over the project
would hardly realize that this work was 90
ing on, due to the fact that it is scattered
over such a large territory and that no
large construction crews would be found at
any one point. However, in the aggregate
the construction crews on the lateral system
work ran up into the twentes with as high
as 500 men on the payroll. In addition to
the construction work on the lateral system
there are the thousand miles of canals and
laterals which must be cleaned and repaired

1lrcly by the farmers themselves This al

the water bill to the government and thus

work done during the past year was that of
drainage
Four large electric draeline eXcavators
have been employed continuously on what is
known as the Pioneer irrigation district and
the Nampa-Meridan irrigation district
drainage, through contract between the
districts and the government for drainage
and also tor the sale OF permanent water
light to the districts These excavators are
equipped with one and a quarter cubic ward
buckets. They are handling this work a,
the rate OF approximately one quarter OF a
million cubic yards OF excavation per month.
During last November a record run
was made OF over 10000 cubic wards
with the four machines This is
thought to be a world record for ma
chimes of this class.
This work is being done at very excep-
tonal low price, and very much below the
original estimate.
1t is costing approximately five and one
half cents per cubic yard.
Before this drainage work was begun in
the Pioneer district and in the lower end OF
line Nampa- Meridian district MANY thous-
ands of acres of what were once highly inn
proved farms had been entirely abandoned
on account of the ground water coming to
the surface and water logging and alkalfy-
ing the ground.
The effect OF these deep drains, which are
termed trunk-line drains, over the III miles
constructed to date, have been to reclaim
the lands to degree far beyond the expec-
tations OF even the most ardent supporters
OF the drainage scheme
Land that had grown up with tules and
had been abandoned by the owner prior to
the construction of the drains. raised crops
of grain during the season following the
drain construction through the particular
field in question.
In many places where the ground water
bad come clear to the surface and it was i'm
possible to drive over the land with
wagon, it was in condition to be plowed
few months after the machine passed
through the field.

has amounted to 2,66l $50 cubic yards of
earth excavation, and 1885 cubic yards OF

Headof the Catholic Church
In This State

Nt. Kew. "A. J. Glorleux, as bishop of the
Catholic diocese Of Boise, has played an i'm
portant part in the development of the
church in the state of Idaho, while the city
church of Boise especially has benefited by
his continued residence here. The bishop
is native OF Belgium, born at Dottignes,
IN the province OF West Flanders on Feb. |,
1874. He attended the common schools of
his native town as a boy, until 1857, and then
enjoyed college course of six wears at
oourtray, West Flanders, from which he
was graduated in 1868 He then entered
the American college at Louvain, where he
was prepared for the priesthood and on the
iIth OF August 1867, he was ordained by
his emnence Cardinal Engelbert Sterckx,
IN the cathedral of Malines, Belgium He
left Europe on the 18th of October in that
same year, and reached Portland Ore, on
the following 9th Of December He was ap-
pointed to Roseburg and there entered up
ON his missionary work. In 1860 he was
transferred to St. Paul, Marion county.
Ore. On the 9th of August. 1871, he was
honored by his appointment to the pres;-
dency of St. Mchaes college, Portland,
Ore. In October, 1884, he was appointed
vicar apostolic of Idaho and on the 10Th OF
April, 1885, was consecrated bishop Of Apol-
lonia in the cathedral of Baltimore by his
eminence Cardinal Gibbons. On the 18th
OF June, 1885, the newly appointed bishop
came to Idaho, making Boise his residence.
and the state of Idaho has ever since been
the field OF his labors. Many and import
ant are the changes which have taken place
since then. When he took charge OF the
spiritual and temporal affairs of the church
in 1885, the total membership amounted 10
about $500; today it is Approximately TO-
OOO. There were only 10 churches in the
state; today there are %. There were ONLY

ARROWROCK RESERVOIR.

The principal construction on the Arrow
rock reservoir was completed in 1915,
though in order to clean up odds and ends
considerable force was engaged throughout
the fore part Of the season Of 1916 in dis
manting the large construction plant and
transporting it to plant yard at the di-
version dam for sale or transfer to other
projects.
The principal construction work on the
dam during the current season was the com
pletion OF the logway chute and the con
struct1on of the Gantry crane on top of the
dam. This crane weighs approximately Is
tons and is for the purpose Of handling the
gates on the upper face OF the dam in case OF
necessary repairs.
AS compared with previous work on the
dam the past year seems trfling, though
upon examination of the books it is found
that between $4,000 and 100000 worth OF
labor and materials have been expended
during the past year This expenditure
however, does not increase the net cost OF
the dam to any considerable amount. owing
to the fact that the sale and transfer of
equipment during this period which is en-
tered upon the books as a credit to the coz
struction cost, has practically balanced the
expenditure
During the latter part Of June the rcser-
voir was filled for the first time and a large
head of water (about 5000 feet) was run
over the spillway. This created a wonderful
cataract as it tumbed down into Deer creek
and returned to the river below, and a large
excursion train was run from Boise to the
dam to witness the great spectacle. This
was the last train run over the upper end of
the Arrowrock railroad

Acting Project Manager.

IT HE most successful year in the history
Of the Boise project has just been com
pleted, Through an abundant supply
Of water, bountiful crop return and high
prices Of farm produce, the farmers have
experienced probably the most successful
year in the history Of the Boise valley, at
least within recent years. In coming in
contact with the various water users on the
project, the project officials hear such stor-
les as these:
Near kuna, one farmer received re-
turn of nearly $500 per acre on eight
acres Of land for white clover seed
In the Deer Flat valley, one man
reports gross return of $4,000, mostly
for potatoes on 4O-acre tract.
Near Bowmont, an alfalfa raiser re-
ceived $4,000 cash for his hay crop on
100 acres of land.
Near Wilder, farmer produced $40
worth of red clover seed per acre on
4O-acre tract.
Near Meridian, one mans return is
reported as $40 per acre on SO acres of

UNIQUE RAILROAD.

The railroad, which is a feature OF the con
structlon of the dam, is the only railroad in
the United States constructed and operated
by the government. During the construc-
ton of the dam this railroad carried 1907
264 ton miles Of freight at an operating cost
OF IL cents per ton mile, or a total cost in

cents per ton mile

was installed at the diversion dam. This
plant develops maximum of about 1000

power for the construction of Arrowrocll
