USERS PROTEST
RULE0N WATER
Payette.Boi Association Oh
iects To --Curtai|ing Arrow
Rock Supply

That the statement that farmers un-
der the Payette- Boise project are en-
titled to only so per cent of the stor-
age capacity of the Arrow Rock res
ervoir as asserted in the reclamation
report of the cost of the project in &C
cordance with Judge F. S. Dietrich's
recent decision came as total sur
prise to water users under the project
is the assertion of L. G. Magee, sec
rotary of the Payette- Boise Water
Users association. Such step. ac-
cording to Mr.. Magee, would leave
the farmers now dependent upon the
Arrow Rock storage system, without
sufficient water to irrigate their lands
This past summer was ample demon
stration, asserts Mr.. Magee, that Ar
row Rock has not too great a stor-
age capacity to provide for the needs
Of the formers under the big Boise
river dam.
Right to only half of the water
means that farmers under the project
will be without water every summer
during August, in the belief of Mr.
Magee who further asserts that such
a condition would mean material re-
auctions in the value of farm lands
under the Boise project because OF
the poor water right. While sufficient
water flows through the Boise river
each spring, he points out, the storage
facilities are not great enough to
handle it and are now not in excess
of the actual requirements of the
Boise project lands. Twenty-Five pet
cent decrease in the value of the farm
lands can be expected in the event
the determination Of the reclamation
service to limit users to one-half of the
Arrow Rock storage, sticks, is the be-
lief Of Mr.. Magee.
IL Vital Problem
Further action on the part of the
Water Users association will be di-
rected at this alleged injustice, accord
ing to Mr. Magee. 1t does not matter
what the project may cost, he AYERS

water they need and require and are
assured "a satisfactory water right
That, today, is the paramount problem

Efforts will be directed to the form

Is to be are largely dreams still long
after the days are past that should

Is more than dreams. Most folks have
learned to their sorrow that it is

but it's always conditional. 1t teaches
men that in the using of what they

plays q sign that reads: Free board

first sight the offer Of free board every

fact, a day without sunshine in that
desert country IS far rarer than black
berries in May. If it rains at all, it is
only for very short time, leaving
most of the day for sunshine, so that
the sign would only catch a tender
