APPROPRIATION FOR THE
MORGAN CREEK ROAD

At the last session of the Board of
County Commissioners an appropria.
tion of $4,000 was made out of the
General Road Fund to be used in con-
structing road down Morgan creek
through the Block creek canyon.
The residents of that section have
agreed to do something around a
thousand dollars worth of work on
the project and if the aid Of the Ma
ticnal Forest Department can be OBJ
tanned a very suitable road can be
constructed which will eliminate the
present steep grades into that sec
tson and will also give US. in the
course of a short time, direct con.
nection with the North and South
highway.
The proposed road will open up one
of the greatest timber sections in this
section Of the State to say nothing OF
the great mining operations which 1t
will undoubtedly make possible.

ARTES|AN WELLS

ED BY NOVEL METHOD,
SAYS iRRiGATiONIST

Action taken Monday by the bureau
Of mines and geology in providing
funds for the investigation of artesian
water resources of the Pahsamaroi
and Salmon river districts in Central
Idaho is a big step toward the reali-
zation of a dream which has ben fos-
tered by, many Of that sections pioI.-
eers, according to c. c. Thompson,
secretary of the Pahsamaroi Reclama-
tion Association.
The valley is the largest level, ara
BILE tract CT land III Idaho, with the
exception of the Snake river valley.
1t contains approximately 10000 acres
of land which is still in the public do
man. Much of this may be reclaimed
by artesian development, engineers
have declared.
The Pahsamaroi river has 10 tribu-
taries coming out of the mountains at
regular intervals along each side OF
the valley, but the waters sink in the
permeable mass which fills the canyon
mouths and reappears in swamps and
large springs toe far down the river
to be used for irrigation.
The general formation of the coun-
try indicates that this water may be
brought to the surface through wells
further up the valley.-Statesman-
