the plan to execution.
Big District Plan

the plan to execution.
Big District Plan
This involves the creation of q
gigantic district embracing lands
from point above Idaho Falls to
contact with the Twin Falls section,
and the bonding of the district for
sufficient amount to meet the pay
ments, due the government under
contracts. Of irrigation companies.
This plan was decided upon at q
conference which included represent
tatives of all the irrigation COM
pan,es, and was later approved by a
meeting of commissioners represent,
ing fifteen counties In the Snake
river valley. j .;.#
The preliminary work has been ac-
lively pushed in the past week. Men
are in the field securing data for
petition for creation Of the district.
which will have to, include rdescrip.
tions Of all, the property. so soon
as this petition has been completed.
steps will be taken to circulate 1t
all over the valley.
The proposed great conservation
district is purely financing enter
prise, and will not interfere in any
way with the operatin or mainten-
ance Of any existing or future canal
system. The sole purpose is to f.
nance the American Falls project
SO the government can go ahead.
Aroused by the Thought Of Loss
The tremendous loss involved in
abandonment OF the project has re-
Gently been brought home to the
people, and, according to reports re-
ceived here, there is deathless de-
termination that nothing shall be
left undone to save this project to
southern Idaho, and especially when
it can be done without involving
any additional burden.
The plan OF bonding will embrace
an understanding to fund The inter-
est during the period Of construction
and one year thereafter, so that there
will be no outlay until there has
been time to secure benefits. From
then on, the bonds will be taken care
of by increased crops and all the
other advantages that come from
reduction of taxes, thru added popu-
lation, stimulated business, and new
local markets, to say nothing OF In
creased land values. r
Productive Investment
These bonds are properly described
as productive investment, and
while, at the present time, no or
binary new obligation might be
taken on, there is no objection to
authorizing such bonds, any more
than to extending ones credit to
buy necessary seed, farm equipment

irons Of the schools contains infor-
nation and statistics showing the

tains the rules for classification and
a number of suggestions for bring
ing the schools up to high stand
ards. What the trustee should sup
ply what the county board of edu-
cation can supply, what the com
munity can do, what the teacher and
