BOARD CANCELS
BIG bRUNEAU
land PROJECT
Action Taken at Meeting
of the Commissioners
Total Of 100000 Acres
Included.
Clear List to 10000 Acres
Received From Washing
ton-In Past Year Large
Amount of Land in State
Patented by Department.

The big Bruneau project of 600,0
acres located south of the Shake river
between ~Bruneau and Bull, has been
ordered cancelled by the state land
board. This action was taken today
by the commissioners in regular ses-
sion. Register Stott was instructed to
file the cancellation to the segrega-
ton with the department of the in
terror.
This action of the land board is of
the most important for it automatically
throws open to entry a large amount
of land, much of which it is said can
be dry farmed.
This project was originally segre-
gated to the Twin Falls Land e. Water
company. It was under the early plans
of that company, to be an extension to
the original south side Twin Falls pro-
ject. although separate and distinct
from 1t. The water for the irrigation
of the land was to be taken from the
Snake river and the canals of the
south side project were to be extended
> to carry much of the water. Due to
the fact the tract was so large and the
engineering problems so difficult work
on the project was never started. The
Oregon Short Line completed a sur
vey Of a proposed road bed for It's sys-
tenn over the project, but because the
irrigation plans did not go through the
road was never built.
The tract is one of the largest in the
state 1t is believed that some day
most of the lands contained in it wiA
be irrigated.
The board decided to ask Commits
sioner Clay Tallman Of the general land
office to grant permission to allow
Carey Act Agent Wells to assist APP
praiser Whiffin on the Salmon River
project.
Announcement was made that clear
lists to an additional 10,000-odd acres
of land in this state had been received
from the department of the interior
With this list the records Of the land
department show there was more land
patented in Idaho during the past II
months than during the previous four
years.
Secretary of the Interior Lane an
nounces the following lands have been
designated under the enlarged home
stead act as being nonirrigable and
not containing such a supply of water
suitable for domestic purposes as
would render residence reasonably pos
sible:
Idaho-Ada County. $50 acres; Can
yon county, 800 acres; Gilmore county
1740 acres.

SERIES ON PITCHERS, LAPS
Worlds Series This Year In Hands of
Hurting STATS.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

BY JACK vEIOCK.
New York, Aug. So.-Pitching has
figured prominently in the history of
modern worlds series, and the series
this fall between the Cubs and Req
Sox will be no exception to the rule
according to advance dope"
The Cubs and Sox are by no means
the greatest ball clubs, and If it had
not been for the great work of their
pitchers during the 1918 campaign
they would not be roosting on the top
of the heap as they are today
The Cubs have four strong, sea-
soned, full nine-inning battlers in
Vaughn, Hendryx, Tyler and Douglas.
They have others, of course, but these
four are going to shoulder the burden
of stopping the Red Sox.
Ruth, Mays, Bush and Jones are
the four aces of the Barrow clan, and
they represent some pitching combi-
nation without doubt.
Bush and Douglas, OF the combined
octette, are the only pitchers with q
winning percentage below 500 as this
article is being written. The others
are above that figure, with Jones and
Hendryx topping the list with 1877
apiece.
So, regulations notwithstanding, It
appears there is little or nothing to
choose between the two stats, and
with the worlds series coming at a
much earlier date, and better pitch
ing weather bound to be on tap, it
looks like an easy series on the old
home plate, for these birds ought to
keep the batters and the base run
ming pretty well in hand.
