.TOSETTLEMENT
Of WATERF|GHT
Effort to Reach Agree
ment With Reclamation
Service Prove Futile;
Future Is Bright.

AS result of the conference Mon
day and Tuesday with F. E. Wey-
mouth, reclamation engineer, only TO-
GOO acre feet of the unadjuciated
10000 acre feet remains to be disposed
Of, according to L. ]. Magee, secre-
tary of the Payette-Boise Water
Users association. Monday, the
board of directors of the association
met at Boise with Mr.. Weymouth and
Tuesday the board was supplemented
with large number of other farmers,
many of whom are members of the
faction which ardently advocates the
establishment of drainage district.
Fifty thousand acre feet of the un-
adjuciated Arrow Rock water, which
according to contract of two years
ago, had been set aside for Black Can
yon, has been definitely promised the
Payette- Boise project users and it is
assumed that this proportion Of the
volume in question has been eliminated
from the problems facing the associa-
ton and reclamation service in the
attempt to get together in accordance
with the expressed wishes of Judge
F. S. Dietrich in his recent opinion
before it is necessary for him to rule of
the duty of water on the project.
Weymouth Leaves
Disposition of the $4,000 acre feet
remaining was not arrived at, Mr..
Weymouth being called to American
Falls on other matters before a final
conclusion relative to it could be
reached. Application has been made
for this water by the Hill Crest Moro
districts and it is understood that the
reclamation service is anxious that it
go to these lands. while the water
users on the project proper hold that
this water is essential to the present
irrigated lands.
In lieu, of this 5000 acre feet, Mr..
Weymouth, in endeavoring to reach
some basis for an agreement, suggest
ed that some 100000 be devoted to
charging the New York canal and
that $4OO.OOO be appropriated for drain
age of lands. largely below Deer Flat.
This proposal was refused by the
water users on the ground that an en-
largement of the New York canal
Would provide adequately for lands
below the Deer Flat reservoir but
that the upper project lands, if $4,000
acre feet of water were devoted to
Hill Crest, would not be adequately
supplied during the storage season.
Water users are reported to have been
unanimous in the expressed opinion
that the 10000 acre feet was requires
by the project lands without attempt
ing to cover additional territory.
Mr.. Magee said Wednesday that
every effort would be made to reach
an agreement with reclamation Off
Gals relative to this matter before the
case would again be taken into court
and expressed the belief that some
thing might be worked out, satisfac-
tory to both parties. He asserted
that he was quite we'll pleased with
the progress that had already been
made.

VISIT Of RAILROAD OFFICIALS.
MAY MARK NEW DEVELOPMENT ERA

surplus earnings above 6 per cent to
a common fund which is to meet de-
ficits incurred by other roads. Prior
to the recent increase in railroad rates
the Union Pacific was one of the few
money making lines in the United
States according to reports by the
railroad administration. While the
effect of the recent increased rates
has not been announced. it is assumed
from action already taken to reduce
the net increases on some western
roads. that the new rates will serve
to substantially increase the Union
Pacific earnings. And it is limited
that rather than turn this money over
to 4 common fund to meet deficits
incurred by weaker eastern roads, that
the Union Pacific contemplates en-
gaging upon big program of railroad
construction in the west.
Look For Bruneau First
Prabably the first important step
that will be taken. in this road build
ing program will be the construction
Iof main line. practically a water
grade from Bull through the Bru-
neau district to connect at Homedale
with the line already built from Nyssa.
This road has been thoroughly survey
ed and final plans are possessed by
the Union Pacific system.
Extension of the Pickle Butte line
to the upper Gem district will provide
the ideal route for the long contem-
plated railroad to Winnemucca, in
stead of by Homedale as it was origi-
nally contemplated. Recent surveys
have clearly shown that easy grades
are obtainable out of the river at
Pickle Butte and are already used as
the basis of splendid highway plan

EVEN RENT BOARD
CLERKSLOOK FOR
HOMES IN VAIN

When you've canvassed every real
estate Office in Washington trying. to
find a vacant house or apartment
don't wind up at the rent commission
and inquire there. The employees
there haven't the slightest knowledge
where there's an unoccupied .domicile.
If they did they would rent it them
selves.
Some persons are under the impress
sion that employees in the District rent
commission are as familiar with for
rent" lists in the various offices of the
realtors as a railroad employe is with
the time table. In the first place
there are no more "for rent" lists in
the real estate offices. They became
obsolete several years ago. In the
second place several employees of the
rent board are looking for abodes for
themselves.
Several young women employed at
the commission have been canvassing
real estate offices and carefully Pc
rusing the for rent" advertisements
in the daily newspapers for several
weeks. but SO. far without success.
