plan.
The first election will determine
the question of organizing the dis
trict. 1t will entail no obligation as
to bonds or oth erwise, Off the ques-
ton of authorizing the bonds must
be answered at subsequent cleo
ton. The petitions for formation
of the district will be completed in
a few days ready fr circulation.
ONLY DEVELOPED LANDL IN
CLUDED
"Only developed land, or going
concerns having distributing systems,
are to be included in the new dis,
trict. Any other sections if coming
in, will have to organize Independent
districts and finance themselves "a
partfrom the new district. This will
be the case as to sections of the
Greater Fort Hall project. 1t was
thought possible to form that pro-
I ject into one irrigation district, but
that plan has been abandoned in
view of the attitude of some of the
major units, including the Bancroft
section, which desires a district of
its own, which will contract for about
10000 acre feet of water from the
American Falls reservoir.
Districts already organized will
not be included in the big district.
This is the case with the New Swed-
en- district. 1t has already author
lied the issuance of $250,000 of
bonds to meet it's obligations to the
government and is only awaiting the
action as to the big district to sell
the same on a waiting market. The
Snake River irrigation district will
also vote bonds separately for that
purpose.
within few days it will be
known accurately just what terri
tory will be included in the big dis
trict, after which the campaign will
proceed to the first election to de-
termine whether or not the big dis
trict shall be organized This will
be preceded by the petitions.
The big district has been divided
into natural subdivisions, with a
chairman for each; who will desig-
nate community committees to assist
in the campaign. e. NJ. Kennedy of
Blackfoot is chairman of the Black
foot district, and Farley j. Davis
chairman of the Idaho Falls district
r. e. Shepherd will be chairman of
the Twin Falls north side district,
and the board of directors of the
Twin Falls south side district will
name its hcairman, probably Ivan
Lincoln, president of the board. The
chairman for the Aberdeen-Spring-
field district has not yet been
named"
LAST KICK OF THE PUP"
The bulletin, after going into fur
Their details ssya,: This is the last
kick of the pup so far as the Amer
lean Falls reservoir project is con-
cerned. 1t will be put over now or
never within the lives of the middle
| generation. The government has
done its part and more. We have not
done our, due to conditions over
which we had control. The ppor-
tunity is now afforded for us to
make good in manner that will not
create an additional burden but
which will provide a means of posi-
tive relief. These are not what
might be called luxury bonds. On
the contrary they constitute a pro-
ductive investment, just the same
as going into debt for farm machin-
cry or other necessities without
which we could not conduct our
business. 1t will not only pay fol
Itself but will pay for many other
things. 1t will be the best little
mortgage raiser that has ever been
proposed.
1t is all up to the people of the
Snake river basin. We are perform.
ing public service in devising the
plan and putting it up to them. God
helps those who help themselves, ana
we feel sure the people directly af-
tected will participate in this pro-
Ject, which is the greatest opportu-
nifty ever offered Snake river VALLEY
or south Idaho.
