BOISE VALLEY
To Re DRAINED;
CONTRACTSLET
Enormous Work of Rec
lamation to Be Under
taken Embracing Area
North of Middleton.

Boise valley proper that portion OF
the valley lying between Middleton
and Collister along the Boise river
banks, is to be drained. Contracts
awarding this work, which will cost
considerably more than half million
dollars, were let Saturday in Boise
and actual construction of the net of
the big drainage canals which will be
begun just as soon as construction
equipment men and material can be
assembled to do the job.
Arrangements were made with the
successful contractors, E. M. Johnson
of Minneapolis and Pucket and HURT
of Boise to take the bond issue of
$5;8,000 at par in payment for this
work. 1t is anticipated that actual
work will be begun on the $4,000 acres
involved sometime during October.
The work is to be completed before
March, 1922.
The canals will drain Approximately
5000 acres of land lying between
Collister and Caldwell. The drainage
canals will be 10 feet deep on the aver
age and from five to 10 feet in width
on the bottom. To complete the sys-
tenn will mean the moving of 1,750,O00
cubic yards of dirt for the open eva
cuations in addition to the tile work
of which there is considerable
amount. Three hundred thousand
feet of lumber will be required in the
work and large amount of cement.
Under the plans and contract the large
district will have complete drainage
system, it is said by commissioners,
and the lands will be made far more
productive and valuable.
Fought Through Courts.
The preliminary organization of
drainage district No. 2 as the big dis
trict is known, began in the Ada
county district court before Judge Nc
earthly in 1917 and every stage of the
proceedings has been fought through
the courts by the demonstrators un-
til the district was finally allowed |
and created early in 1920 Commits
sioners were named and the district |
bonded for $4,000, the estimated |
amount of the cost of putting in the
drainage canals. The bond market
dropped shortly after the amount was
determined upon and since then the
commissioners have been unable to
place the bonds at good figure and
only recently were contractors found
who would take the big contract and
take the bonds of the district for pay.
E. M. Johnson, one of the successful
bidders on the work, is in Boise at
present He has already started as
sembling machinery to prosecute the
program. Drag line methods will be
used in excavating the bitches and
only the most modern of machinery
will be used, says Mr.. Johnson.
The land to be reclaimed has suf-
fered materially in recent years be-
cause of the irrigation of large areas
on either side of the river outside
the drainage district, the seepage wa
ter having materially increased the
problem of drainage these lands and
also cutting substantially into their
productivity. Large areas are already
seriously inpregnated with alkali.
