RECLAMATION

Our unused lands can be made our
greatest asset. Upon the use made OF
them largely depends our future de-
velopment. Only a small portion OF
our lands have been made productive.
There are approximately 100000 acres
in the Snake River valley that may
be irrigated in large projects. There
are $4,000 acres of swamp lands
awaiting drainage. and as much more
of cutover timber lands which await
only the removed of forest refuse to be-
come productive.
We should study the possibilities
and needs of the various sections OF
the state and be ready with informa
tion to invite capital to assist in their
Developments upon the return OF nor
NAL financial conditions.
Let us not be blinded by a belief that
il will be possible for the federal gov
ernment to develop all our reclamation
possibilities. for there are many small
feasible projects embracing from few
hundred TO a few thousand acres, which |
will not interest the government. vet
in the aggregate they will provide
homes for hundreds of families and add
to the wealth. OF the state /
More than so per cent of our increase
in population during the past decade
is on our 100000 acres of irrigated
land or the towns principally support |
ed by them. The banks Of our irri- /
gated districts contain two thirds Of
the total bank deposits of our state.
These facts indicate the great possi-
bilities awaiting the development of
our unused lands.
We made no more wise appropria-
ton at the last session than thes200O0

streams and inventoring the states

these investigations. so that our great
