GOVERNOR DAVIS WATCHING
RECLAMATION LEGISLATION.
Work of Appropriations Committee in
Congress May Bring Great Benefits
to American Falls and Power County
Representative Smith Urges Spe"
cial Provisions for Previous Service
Men.

Governor ID. w. Davis is IN Wash
ington, d. C.,to confer with the con-
gressional representatives from the
state and members of the national re-
reclamation appropriations committee,
in the interest of land reclamation in
Idaho. Power county, in fact, all OF
southern Idaho is watching with un-
preeedented interest the reclamation
bills now before congress. Should
they pass as expected, local men be-
live that American Falls will be the
center of the largest irrigation pro-
ject in the west through the fact that
the dam to provide the reservoir will
in all probability be built across the
Snake river at American Falls.
Judge Rodgers of Boise appeared
Saturday before the house public lands
committee in Washington in support
of the bill to reclaim lands to provide
for soldiers. He made a special plea
that the millions to be appropriated by
congress be spent in developing gov
ernment owned lands, of which there
is an abundance, rather than that they
be expended. at least in part for the
purchase of private lands for subse-
quent reclamation.
He pointed out that states like Ida
no, Utah and others in the west have
an abundance of land which is already
in government ownership, and $780,
100000 or any ether sum spent in re-
claiming such lands would go further
than the same amount spent in the
purchase of pivate lands, and their
subsequent reclamation, either by
drainage or by stump removal He
told the committee that Idano and 9th
er states have demonstrated the sue
cess of irrigation; that these lands
when reclaimed. cannot be surpassed
that soldiers placed upon such lands
would be amid healthy surrounding
and better off than they would be In
! swampy country.

MAY LOCATE FISH HATCHERY
49,. AT SPRING SOUTH OF FALLS

A state fish hatchery will be located
in the big spring on the Arthur Davis
place south of American Falls, if the
sportsmen of southern Idaho have
their way in the matter. Otto M.
Jones, state game warden is interested
in the proposed location and wrote
local sportsmen yesterday that he had
the matter under advisement and
would make a personal visit to the
proposed location as soon as possible.
Mr.. Jones stated that he was strong
ly in favor of increasing the hatchery
equipment of the state and considered
the spring an ideal location.
The matter of erecting hatchery
at the Davis spring is conceded TO be
matter of the support that will be
accorded the enterprise by the sports
men of American Falls and all the
southern part of the state. Steps are
being taken to assure the game ward
en- of the support of the local men as
we'll as those in adjoining counties.
Should the hatchery be located here
it will mean that American Falls will
benefit directly as a shipping point and
will be somewhat of a rendezvous for
anglers throughout southern Idaho.
