GOOD PROGRESS
IN RECLAMATION
Commissioner Swendsen
Tells of Activities
Over State

w. G. Swendson, commissioner OF
reclamation, announced the compile
ton of the second Owsley project
near Roberts under state contract,
and the completion Of field work in
the Twin Falls North Side project,
Final examination of the Twin Falls
Carey act project has been made.
This project contains 100000 acres.
The Owsley Carey act project con-
tains 1900 acres.
Examination Of Carey act records
is being made by the department to
have the state records check with
the governments records in the de-
partment of the interior, general
land office, at Washington, D. c.
Patent lists are being prepared
on the Snake River Irrigation prof.
ect, the first and second units Of the
Idaho Farmers project and the Big
Lost River project.
General water supply over the
state is much better than last year
and the Snake river is in good con-
dition for irrigation purposes. The
Jackson lake reservoir storage water
was drawn on for the first time last
week which compares favorably with
last years storage water report in
Jackson lake reservoir. More than
SO per cent Of last years water sup
ply had been drawn out at this time
in 1919 and many users had COM
pletely exhausted their water sup
ply.
Adjudication of water rights by
court action was discussed by Mr..
Swendsen, who favors making the
state a party in suits for the estab-
lishment of water rights.-Idaho

State Officials of Idaho
Take Much
Interest

Members of the appropriations

from Washington left Washington
about the middle of June to tour
western irrigation projects and west
ern national parks to gather informa-
ton FOR use in their work. and they

Wasted No Time
They were met at Weiser by state

state as they could during the day,
Tour Over Minidoka Project

specting the power plants, pumping
plants and the irrigation and waste
canal systems. At American Falls
they reviewed the site of the pro-
posed dam and reservoir, and at
Idaho Falls they rested and were
banqueted. Speeches followed, and
at midnight the committees left in
their special car attached to the Yel-
lowstone special.
Anxious Students
The rules for their trip did not al
low members to make any promises
as to what Hhey would do. They
looked and listened, and took away
such information as was brought to
them and they asked questions and
expressed surprise and satisfaction
and said that they now understood
as they never had understood before.

A Review of Twin Falls
Whose Local Boosters
Are Making the
City Famous
EXPENSIVE HOMES
Built Up in Fifteen
Years by People
Of Wealth

Twin Falls is fifteen years old and
Is the third city in size in Idaho. It
has been diligently laying bitulithic
pavement for six or eight years, and
has nearly all Of its streets paved.
Men Of wealth keep laying out ad-
ditions to the city, and selling the
lots. to people who wish to build
homes for their own use or for specu-
lation. The streets are laid out in
these additions and electric lights
and pavement supplied In many cases
by the time the first few houses are
built on them.
Most Of the homes in Twin Falls
are modern and expensive as COM
pared with those of the average
Idaho town. Dwellings that cost less
than $4,000 are scarce, and the aver
age dwelling Of Twin Falls is the
equal of the best ones in Blackfoot.
In the first years at Twin Falls,
people planted trees and shrubs, and
they have kept up the practice, so
that it is now city of shade. Climb
ing roses are abundant, and both in
the city and on the suburban farms,
the crimson rambler roses are in
evidence.
The Water Supply
In the center of the city one block
is kept as a city park, and it is
planted to shade trees and shrubs,
The city hall. court house and school
buildings are arranged about it.
Chimes mark the hours announced
by the time piece in the city hall.
The city water supply is pumped
from wells drilled deep into the lava
plateau on which the city is built.
In the early days of the town, it was
a hopeless task to drill a we'll deep
enough to get water, but since irriga-
tion has saturated the country and it
has sunk from year to year, a water
level has been established, and now
they get a supply of surface water at
a depth of about 100 feet. 1t is ir-
rigation water that has sunk and
filtered thru the soil, gravel and lava,
and analysis shows that it is not so
pure as to be recommended for
health.
Hurts Towns Pride
There is a slight clash between the
city and the railroad company on
water matters. Because the water is
not quite pure, and because of the
tendency to "sue the railroad COM
pany' whenever anything goes
wrong, the company, in order to pro-
tect itself from suits that might be
filed against it by persons taking an
illness from drinking impure water
from the city mains delivered thru
the drinking fountain the depot has
put up sign by the drinking foun-
tain that says, "Do not drink this
water" Then If they drink it and
take a fever, they cannot get judg-
ment against the company because
they were notified not to drink it. If
a person drank from hotel faucet
or from a private faucet and con-
tracted fever, he would not be at
all likely to bring suit, but the rail-
road company plays safe by keeping
up the sign mentioned. That is bad
advertisement for the town, and the
company has been asked to take it
down, for the Twin Falls people are
very sensitive about anything that

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!

Dan Spaulding has bought out Owen

Wheat has got back close to the 30
cent mark.
Rye is looking exceptionally fine
this spring. Garden truck is doing
we'll despite the recent cold snap.
Fred Newton has sold out his herd
ing business to Elmer Severance.
Herman He'll is the name Of resi-
dent Of Sibley county. Probably a
brother of Billy He'll, who lives in
Milaca.
Several new lawns are now we'll I'M
der way in the village. The season is
fine for grass.

as before assuming the new name.
The depot scheme for this place has
attracted the attention Of railroad Of
ficers and it is only a question of a
short time before it will be built.

1T DID NOT FAIL
SAYS VAN DOREN
"All My Wife's Troubles Are Gone
Since She Took Tanlac,"
He States.

He States.
sIt has been many years since my
wife enjoyed fine health or felt SO we'll
generally as she does since taking
Tanlac," said George E. Van Doren,
a well-known machine designer resid-
ing at 294 West Adams St., St. Paul,
Mimi, in a statement the other day.
Several years ago my wife suffered
a general breakdown" he continued,
"and since that time her health has
been miserable. She had indigestion
so bad that nearly everything she ate
soured on her stomach and caused her
to have heavy, nauseated feelings in
her chest for hours afterwards. She
suffered from constipation and con-
stantly had to be taking laxatives.
Her nerves were badly upset and lit
tie noises she had always been used
to would startle her terribly. She was
restless at night, got very little sleep
and had lost so much strength and
energy that she looked like she was
almost ready to give up any time.
81 spent lot of money on different
medicines and treatments, but every
thing failed until she tried Tanlac.
But Tanlac didn't fail and that is just
the reason why her troubles have all
left her and she is looking so well
and strong today. She does not have
to worry over what to eat now, be-
cause everything agrees with her and
she does not suffer any bad after eff
fects at all. She is free from constipa-
ton and her nerves are so steady she
can sleep all night long like a child.
Since her troubles have disappeared
she is getting back her strength and
energy and says she is feeling like a
different person altogether"
Tanlac is sold in Princeton by the
c. A. Jack Drug Co., and by the lead
ing druggists in every town. Adv.
