IRRIGATION OUTLOOK FOR IDAHO

The following letter from Represen-
tative Addison 7. Smith to Major Fred
r. Reed, executive secretary of the
Idaho Reclamation Association con-
tains some valuable information for ali
who are interested in developing our
irrigation resources. This letter not
only explaines what is being done by
our Congressman but also what has
been done and is being done by the
, Idaho Reclamation Association. Every
Idaho citizen should put a shoulder to
the wheel and help push the load along
It is started now and we should not lose
the advantag ge of its momentum by per
hitting the work to slow down for lack

bership and send it to Major Reed at

Dear Major Reed:
take great pleasure in renewing my
membership in the Idaho Reclamation
Association. and inclose herin the an
nual fee of s1.OO
The activities of yourself and associ-
ates have accomplished more toward
arousing sentiment throughout the
West. and the country generally, in
favor of reclamation of arid lands than
has been accomplished in any other
manner in the last ten years.
The plan which you organized re-
suited in the Convention at Salt Lake
and various towns in Southern Idaho
and in sending to Washington delega-
ton of Western Governors and has at
tracted the attention of the leaders n
both branches of Congress. Because OF
the sentiment which has ben created
in and out of Congress- there is every
reason to believe that a general reclaim
alton policy will soon be authorized by
Congress under which the present pro-
jects will be speedily finished and new
projects undertaken.
The money necessary to accomplish
this development will be secured by a
direct appropriation from the Treasury

legislation as outlined in the Smith
Fletcher Bill, under the provisions OF
which irrigation districts may be for
ned and private capital made avail
lbIe; the actual work of reclamation
o be under the direction of the L. s
Reclamation Service.
Aside from the probability of secur-
ng government aid, however, you and
our associates appear to have been
BILE to have aroused the people of
daho and other arid States, to the
ealization that they can accomplish
great deal by direct organization to-
ard successfully carrying on these
rejects without waiting for Con-
ressional legislation. or appropria-
ons, and I hope when the legislature
'nvenes, legislation may be enacted
a change of our State Con-
tuition, providing for cooperation on
e part of the State in developing
ore rapidly our agricultural resources
You are, therefore. to be congrat-
ated on the splendid result of your
'rk during the past year. and sin
rely hope that your membership
y be sufficiently increased to make
sible the successful consummation
your plans to reclaim every acre of
d land in our State for which water
be made available.
