The distance from Jackson Lake Ia
Miner dam, by river channel, IL
about $50 miles. A great many tri-
butaries enter the river in this dis
lance and the drainage area is SO ex-
tensive that different weather con.
ditions prevail over the watershed
It is therefore impossible to predict
with accuracy the effect of local
storms upon the discharge of the
river and consequently infeasible to
regulate 1t with refinement. The
administration of a great stream
like Snake river is somewhat
analogous to the operation of COM
munity canal. In order to get water
to the tail-end user on the ditch II
Is generally necessary to provide
some excess as a factor Of safety.
Sometimes the final result is short
age and sometimes it is waste,
Waste over the Miner dam during
the period under discussion was less
than az per cent of the diversions,
which would be considered rela-
lively light at the end of q canal.
1t is my opinion that reasonable
care was used by the special deputy
in handling the river at this time,
and it is the purpose of this depart
ment to insist upon careful admin
istratoin at all times. ~. r,.
The question as to precedence of
rights cannot be decided here. In
any ruling by this department in
matters of priority, the only rights
that can be recognized are record
rights. If prescriptive rights to the
use of food waters having priority
over record storage rights exist,
they should be established and made
matter of record. The evidence
shows no injury to record rights,
and it seems rather unlikely that an
identical situation in respect to
river control will occur again.

HISTORY OF SNAKE
RIVER CONTROL
CHAPTER II.

Supervision of the distribution
of both stored water and natural
flow was for several years vested in
one or more water commissioners.
Since 1911, however, this work has
been under a sort of dual control.
A water commissioner or water
master, at first appointed by the gov
ernor and later elected by the water
users of the district has had primary
supervision over the distribution of
the natural flow, while special
deputy state engineer, has been in
charge of the stored water distribu-
ton. Since the two phases of the
distribution work are so closely re-
lated because of the intermingled
water, the actual distribution or
ganization has of necessity operated
largely as a unit, but prior to 1919
there was no continuity to the work
except as the U. S. geological survey
maintained the important river gag
ing stations from year to year. Each
season a new organization had to be
hurriedly assembled and the work
of distribution begun without ade-
quate preparation. Furthermore,
there was no assurance under this
system that it would be possible to
secure men with the requisite
knowledge and experience etc take
charge of the work and little incen-
tive was given for improvement
upon the methods in use during the
preceding year"
In recognition of the constantly
increasing completely Of Snake river
distribution problems, meeting of
the water users of the district was
convened at Idaho Falls, Idaho, on
April %, 1919, for the purpose of
formulating and agreeing upon a
plan which would provide a more
stable organization and one better
able to cope with the difficulties of
the situation as presented from year
to year. At this meeting a commit
tee of nine men, three from each of
the three major sections of the dis
trict, was selected for the purpose of
working out the details of this plan.
This committee held another meet
ing at Idaho Falls on April 28, 1919,
at which resolutions were un-
animously adopted recommending
the establishment of a permanent
office of the state department of
reclamation at Idaho Falls, Idaho,
with at least the special deputy and
one assistant employed upon an all
year basis. The committee also
recommended the employment of G.
Clyde Baldwin, who was at that
time and had been for many years
district engineer of the U. s. geo.
logical survey in charge of stream
measurement work in the State of
Idaho, as special deputy to take
charge of the Idaho Falls office. L
thereupon appointed Mr.. Baldwin
deputy in charge not only Of stored
water distribution, but also Of all
water distribution within District
No. Sc, and one member Of the COM
mittee Of nine from each Of the
three principal sections of the dis
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-12-21

trict was selected to act as an adj
visory committee. The first advisory
committee thus selected was as fol-
lows: J. r. Thomson, representing
the North Fork area; D. H. Bios
som, representing the Idaho Falls
Blackfoot or central section and F.
A. Banks, representing the Mini
doka-Twin Falls area.
The new organization had hardly
been settled at Idaho Falls until we
were confronted with the extremely
short water year of 1919, the worst
from the standpoint of irrigation
supply in the history of the district.
The wisdom of the new plan was
amply demonstrated in that one
year alone, and has since been ap-
proved at numerous water users
meetings, and by the reelection by
the water users of the same advisory
committee to serve for two subse-
quent years.
The guiding principles influencing
the policy of this department have
been during my term of office and
will continue to be an equitable dis
tribution of both storage and
normal flow water between all inter-
ests according to their respective
rights and priorities as defined by
law, DEGREES and licenses and an ad-
ministration of the stream for the
greatest good of the commonwealth.
AS in all human relations, there will
be differences of opinion regarding
methods and the Interpretation of
facts, and it is the inalienable right
of every citizen interested in the
problems arising out of such COM
pick operation to furnish informa-
ton and to offer constructive sug-
gestions toward betterment in SER
vice.
1t is therefore proper to give care
full consideration to a number Of
points brought up for discussion by
the Upper Snake River Union of
Water Users, at meeting at Idaho
Falls on May 2, 1922; to indicate
the manner in which the carrying
out of these suggestions would af-
feet the general interest, and to pre-
sent the views of this department
upon the issues raised.
These suggestions, as outlined by
their engineer, were:
l. "That the natural water users
in the Idaho Falls section, (meaning
Blackfoot river to Heise station)
who are users of decreed water dat
ing from 1880 to 1905, be allowed
to use the amount of water over and
above their decree rights during the
spring run-off that they were pri-
viliged to use before Jackson Lake
was increased to its present capac-
ity. In other words, the natural
water users should not be cut to
their record rights while water is
being stored at Jackson Lake and
also water passing Neeley station in
excess of the total requirements of
the 1900 to 1908 DEGREES south of
American Falls, as was done in
1920, June q to July g."
2. "Until satisfactory evidence is
secured showing transmission losses
from Moran to Heise it is my opin-
ion that 10 per cent loses should be
charged to the stored water between
Moran and Heise, after the river has

8. "The matter of return flow
has been matter of much discus.
sion in the past eleven years and II
it my opinion that this matter could
be adjusted by either charging the
stored water a definite percentage OF
loss, from Heise to Blackfoot, OF
adopt definite quantity of water to
be added to the Heise and Rexburg
inflow to be used by the natural
water users"
4. after every effort has been
made to distribute all natural water
to whom it belongs each day, dur
ing the irrigation season, it is pos.
sible that there will still be some
discrepancies appear in the final
records and I would suggest that
these balances be shown in proper
manner and payment made by the
party who has overdrawn to the
party who is the loser on or before
date to be set at conference of all
interested parties"
5. "Since it is quite evident that
with Jackson Lake filled and no
water entering and no water being
discharged thru the gates of Jack
son dam, the lake would gradually
lower and decrease in elevation due
to losses by evaporation and see
page it is my belief that these
losses should hereafter be borne by
the storage water interests and not
by the natural water users whom, it
appears, have been standing these
losses for some time in the past"
Use of riood Water
The situation referred to in the
discussion of point No. / is some
what abnormal. Only once in the
period of fourteen years during
which Jackson Lake has been OPP
Grated has there occurred the ex-
traordinary combination of climatic
and watershed conditions which
brought about conflict of interests
while Jackson Lake was being filed
This was in 1920. On June 81 of
that year the rapidly falling stage
of the river indicated the advisable
ity of passing all normal flow thru
the reservoir in order to supply
rights prior to the storage rights of
the U. S. reclamation service. A
subsequent upward tendency on the
river gauges, after the canals had
been cut to their DEGREES, seemed
from the standpoint of beneficial use
to warrant some further storage at
Jackson Lake, inasmuch as the in
creased supply, due to precipitation
or more rapid melting of snow upon
part of the watershed, was insult
ficient to permit of general unre-
stricted diversion of flood waters.
Unfortunately, during this period
when canal diversions we're being
restricted to record rights and stor-
age was being impounded at jack
son Lake, some waste occurred over
Miner dam. This was probably I'M
avoidable, owing to the many vari-
able factors in the handling Of large
volumes of water thru time inter-
val in transmission of several days.
