PETITIONS NEARLY
READY
North and South Sides at Twin Falls
Practically Completed. win Be FIJI
ed With County Commissioners.

Guy Flenner, of the Idaho Reclama-
tion Association has returned from a
visit to the North and South Twin
Falls where campaigns have been in
progress in relation to the circulation
of the petition asking the commits
sioners to call an election to determine
whether or not a super-district shall
be formed to finance the American
Falls reservoir project.
He reports that the work has been
practically completed on the North
Side and the indications we're that it
would be finished on the South Side
early in the coming week.
All the sections north OF American
Falls included within the proposed big
district have practically completed
the work of securing signatures to
the petition.
Just as soon as these petitions are
signed to the amount of the requisite
acreage they will be filed and the COM
missioners will be asked to act
promptly. However, it will be at
least six weeks from the time the pc
tition is filed before the hearing can
be held and after the hearing four
weeks must elapse before the election
o be held.
During the interim between the
hearing and the date of election a
further campaign of information will
be conducted in the territory to be
embraced within the district if it shall
be formed.
THE genral sentiment in the Twin
Falls districts" says Mr.. Flenner, sis
that Idaho cannot afford to lose this
great opportunity. This feeling is
easily understood when, wholly aside
from the question of water insurance
the realization is experienced of the
fact that the American Falls reservoir
project has received publicity all over
the u S. greater than that ever given
TO any other such an undertaking. II
is obvious, therefore, that any section
that can tie itself into this situation
will have a big advantage when il
comes to immigration and investment
Mr.. Flenner is going into the north
ern part of the valley on business in
connection with the campaign and will
return soon to Twin Falls and stay OF
the job in that vicinity until the petit
tion is filed.
