TO Be
LARGEST IN WORLD
Snake River Project To
Wipe Out Town

Just how deeply the Reclamation
Service has gone into the problem OF
supplying water in and out of sea
son to the farmers of the Upper
Snake River districts is shown by
Walter V. Woehlke in the February
issue of Sunset Magazine.
Pointing out how everything is
subordinated to the vital and neces-
sary accomplishment, Mr.. Woehlke
cites an instance of an entire town
which will be erased from the map
to attain the end toward which the
engineers are working. He says in
part:
1.-THE town of American Falls IS
doomed. 1t will be drowned out
when the reservoir fills up. But a
new town is in the making. On 4
higher. better site the Reclamation
Service is laying out new and mo-
del community, giving the residents
of the old town the choice of selling
their property outright or of ex-
changing their holdings for new lots
and having the buildings moved TO
the higher ground Many lot own
ers have already obtained ready
cash by selling out at bargain pri-
ces, but all the business men prefer
to stay and move, scenting profit
when the dam site begins to swarm
with thousands of men.
Upon completion of the dam
there will be a general pooliniga nd
redistribution of water-rights. The
needs of the farmers in the upper
valley will be supplied from Jack
son lake; the newer and larger pro-
jects farther down will depend upon
the American Falls reservoir for
their water. The reservoir will
hold the entire run-off of the upper
Snake; no water will pass the dam
except through the gates. They will
be closed late in the fall, holding
back the winter flow and the spring
floods that a million acres may be
irrigated in summer"

Pioneers Justified in Snake River
Projects

Commenting the foresight {
those who have been instigators of
the Ian, Mr.. woehlke goes on To
say:
Ethereal beginning of this great
enterprise goes back some thirty
years when l. B. Perrine climbed
down the perpendicular lava wall of
the Snake river canyon to file a
homestead cltim on some level land
on the canyon floor, land which he
irrigated and brought to a high and
profitable state of cultivation. But
down in that deep and narrow
chasm, with the rumbling thunder of
Twin and Shoshone Falls in the air
the opportunities for irrigation
were limited to a few almost mac
cessible patches of land. On top of
the mesa through which the Snake
had cut its gorge there were, on the
contrary, millions of acres of level
land covered with man-high sage

courage and vision to go forty miles
from the railroad into this empty
land and sink million in a dam l.,
the hope taht settlers would come
and repay the money plus profit.
"Perrine and his associates built
the big Miner dam and the canals
to supply water for the 100000
acres of the South Side Twin Falls
project. The land was excellent:
the water supply was ample; the
growing season was long; the irri-
cation boom was just beginning and
the prices they asked for water
land belonged to Uncle
Sam who gave it away under the
Carey Act for practically nothing
were reasonable. The project filled
up with a rush. In a remarkably
short time the land was all taken up.

Thirty Mile Reservoir To Supply
Government Settlers

Discussing the action of the Up
per Snake River farmers to prevent
future water shortage, Mr.. Woehlke
says in part:
"They grasped the lesson of 1915
with a speed and unity hitherto UNI
known among those most persistent
of all professional scrappers and
agreed upon a plan to prevent flu
ture shortage, lined up all interests
concerned and got action within q
year. The heart of that plan is the
immediate construction of a new
reservoir which, when fully compile
ted, will exceed even the Assouan
barrage of the Nile in storage capac-
ity. This is no dream or paper pro-
Ject. Almost two million dollars
have already been spent in the nee
essary preliminaries and actual COLI
struction should begin this year
soon after Congress makes the nee
essary appropriation of two or three
deal more, but the bulk of the mon
ey will be supplied by the beneficial
ries of the project, and the invest
ment of the Federal government
will be repaid by the settlers who
will take up public land to be wa
tered from the new reservoir.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
best reservoir sites are not in deep
canyons and high mountains. Cam
yons and gorges usually are narrow
and have a steep pitch so that even
a high dam forms only a small
lake. For big storage broad, fiat
valley with My a slightgrade j S
needed, and such a valley has been
formed by the Snake Just above the
town of American Falls where the
Oregon Short Line crosses the river
on the way to Portland. Directly
at the falls low bluffs closely ap-
proach the river. supplying a good
foundation and abutments for the
projected dam. Except its bulk.
there is nothing startling or novel
about this dam. 1t is planned to
build it ultimately to height Of
ninety feet, creating a reservoir thir-
ty miles long with total storage
Of water sufficient to cover 5000, 600
acres a foot deep, but for the pres
ent the dam will be carried only
high enough to impound 100000
acre-feet. As son as additional wa
