All Should Help

1t is worth an effort on the part of
the citizens of this county to endeavor
o get this benefit. Minidoka county
cannot be included in the irrigation
district and will in no way take part,
only in aiding the Idaho Reclamation
association and the moral support
which every loyal citizen should be
willing to give TO this movement which
g so much to our state and coun-
ty. If this last resort falls through re-
camation in Idaho will be set back
from ten to fifteen years, is the opinion
of men in a position to know.
The northwest Is endeavoring to
get the Columbia River Basin project
started which it is estimated will take
80 years to complete. Colorado, Ari-
IONA and Utah have the Colorado Riv-
er commission working on a gigantic
scheme for those states and they are
working hard and long, spending mon
ey lavishly to attain their end. Idaho
has the inside track but we have pas
sed the last quarter pole on the home
stretch. Will we come under the wire
first?
Let us lend our aid and hope she
does.
This statement is designed to give
a clear outline of the situation rela-
tive to the American Falls reservoir
project, to impress the manner in
which the momentous enterprise is
imperiled, and to relate as briefly as
possible the details of a plan for saw
ing the project to the State, which has
been approved by groups of men who
are not only directly interested in the
success of the project from a purely
local standpoint, but from the angle

Others Want Water.

There is o land in southern Idc
no than there is water to irrigate 1T.
There is also a demand for water for
power purposes. 1t goes without say
ing that Snake River water is not 60
ing to remain available for very long.
The present plan is designed 10 make
a full water supply to land now
under cultivation, and then provide
for new lands. If the present scheme
is to be abandoned. new projects will
be able to get priority for their water

Eels Have Scales.

Most persons regard cells as the
most slippery residents of the water,
hut the investigating scientist says
rhe eel is covered with a complete
set of scales, quite as nicely arranged
as those on the fish and employed for
the same purpose. but their diminu-
tive size requires a powerful micro
scope to study them.

no room for doubt that the government
will abandon the American Falls pro-
ject unless the companies and dis
triets contracting for storage water in
the reservoir make their payments.
Delay at this time means that the
American Falls project will be lost to
Idaho for many, many years, if, indeed,
shall ever be revived.

No Interference.

The proposed district is to be pure
ly a financing organization and will
not in any name interfere with the
operation or maintenance O any lanai
systems within it's boundaries. These
systems will be managed by their re-
spective officer as though the big dis
trict did not exist.
Existing irrigation districts within
the American Falls storage inf1u-
ence will not be included in the big
district. each if coming into the Amer
lean Falls enterprise, being already
so organized as to be in position to
handle its own obligations to the gov
eminent. Some Of these have already
authorized bonds, and are only await
ing the outcome of this campaign to
market them and pay the govern
ment as per its contract.
If the district shall be formed. then
the question of issuing its bonds to
meet the payments to the government
will be presented to the people.
It is realized, of course, that no one
desires at this time to take on any adj
ditional obligations that might be
avoided. 1t is felt, however, that any
study of the subject will convince the
land owner that this proposed bond
issue does not constitute a burden,
but is the means Of positive and gem
uine relief.
These bonds, when authorized, may
be considered as a productive invest
ment, exactly as the purchase of
necessary farm machinery, seed, or
dairy stock on 20 years credit at 6
percent interest. Moreover, It is
planned to include the interest with
the principal on these bonds during the
period of construction of the reservoir,
and then one year beyond that, SO
there will be no intrest to pay until
after benefits have been secured from
the reservoir, after which natural in
crease will take care of the bonds.
1t is estimated that one extra bushel
Of wheat a year per acre, grown by yir-
tue of an ample, insured water sup
ply Will pay all interest and principal.

this water is beyond calculation. That
has been the case under every storage
sytem.
In Idaho there is an enduring illus
stration in the Arrowrock reservoir.
When it was known that reservoir was
to be built, there was an immediate
demand for any land to be benefited
thereby. This resulted in immediate
increased values and an actife market.
with the result that many took ad-
vantage of the opportunity and reduc-
ed their holdings, taking their profits,
and, in many cases, useing the same
to improve to higher and more varied
production the land retained. Values
have ever since been stabilized.
When there has been severe water
shortage and heavy losses in other
parts of the State, lands under the Ar
rowrock reservoir have produced
plentifully during the entire season,
and there has never been a time when
a good third crop of hay, for instance,
has not been taken off. cog
There has been an increase in the
farming population, which is impor-
tant in itself, for dense farming popu-
lation is responsible for the great ag-
r%icultural development in the middle
West and elsewhere. Additional local
markets have been built up, for towns
and cities grow instep with the pro-
gress of the country, so that better
prices have been secured for farmers
under the Arrowrock reservoir than
in any other part of the state.
Bank and Farm Loan credits. when
necessary, r more readily obtained,
because. standing back Of every acre,
is this wonderful water insurance.
Before Arrowrock reservoir was
provided, there were heavy losses due
to water shotage. At intervals of
about five years this occurred, and
more than wiped out the profits of the
intervening periods.
What has happened there in that
connection has occurred in the Snake
River valley. Indeed. it is agreed that
the loss in 1919 due to water shortage
would have paid for the entire Amer
lean Falls project, and it is certain
that millions were lost in that year
through water shortage.
The added protection, the increased
demand for property, the STANDARDIZED
ton of values, creation of new mar
kets, and the general stimulation of
farming and all classes of business, as
well as the avoidance of disastrous
fluctuations due to water uncertain
ties, will be the reward of all those in
Snake River valley, as the result of
completion of this project.
While it is true that prices of farm
produce have been low during the past
year, no farmer would accept 1921
conditions as a criterion. Business
was bad during that year in all lines,
but no n contemplated voluntarily
going out of business because of those
conditions. 1t was inevitable that
there should be a relapse after a per-
iod of intense prosperity and infla-
ton. Having struck the bottom. we
are now on the upgrade and will reach
safe level commencing with the pre-
sent year.
The great question is, shall we place
ourselves in position, to take the full
lest advantage of surely approaching
normal conditions? The American
Falls project furnishes the big oppor-
tunity. The people of the Snake River
Basin are to decide this.

Questions Answered.

The following may answer some
questions:
The maximum size of the reservoir
is 100000 vel feet. At prevailing
prices it is estimated that the cost for
that size reservoir would be about
$3.50 per acre foot. A reservoir of
/ 800. 900 acre feet would cost between
$6 and 81 an acre foot. 1t is now as
surred that enough companies win

The Last Chance.

This statement, prepared and sent
you by the Idaho Reclamation ASCOT
alton, which is supported and maintain
ed by Idaho taxpayers, and which is
devoted to the further development
of irrigable Idaho, gives you the plain,
unvarnished facts.
The loss of the American Falls pro
ject can hardly be computed in dol
lars and cents. It's retention and COM
pletion would mean such a large and
continuing profit, no thought Of per-
hitting abandonment when no real
expense is required to save and COM
lietc it, should be considered j the
mind Of anyone in this territory who
is interested in his own welfare and
II the welfare of his State.
You will hear from us again. Dis
cuss this subject with your neighbors,
your lawyer, your banker, and enlist
in the movement to insure your W
greater prosperity and a greater Ida

MisapprehensiOn.


Some misapprehension has been
created by the fact of an appropria-
ton bill carrying 81, 100000 for the
American Falls project.
This, in reality, means nothing I'M
less We are to go ahead with the pro-
ject. If our obligations are paid, the
government will have funds available
to match the payments of the COM
panies and districts. If work on the
reservoir is not to be continued, there
will be NO application of this money.
For example, last year there was APP
preparations merely provide an APP
project, of which the American Falls
Is a part so far as appropriations are
concerned; but up to date only 1884,
600 of that sum has actually been
made available, and only about $780,
900 for American Falls.
Putting it another way: such APP
preparations merelp provide an APP
portionment of money from the recla-
nation fund, and do not mean neees-
sarily that the amount specified will
ever be expended, and it certainly will
not be expended at American Falls
unless the obligations referred to
shall be met.
There is also some misapprehen-
sion in regard tt the McNary-Smith
bill. II that bill should be passed it
would not effect the American Falls
project because of the existing and
fixed financial set-up. However, it
would provide a market for the bonds
of the district.
That measure need not be depended
on, however, as a BOND market nrovi-
sion, for there is an active demand
for irrigation district bonds certified
by the State, as would be the case
with these bonds.
This is occasioned by the fact that
these bonds are exempt from taxation
OF all kinds, a condition that will
not long exist. There is no doubt that
congress will shortly make all such
securities subject to taxation. Inves-
tors know this, and that is the reason
they are anxious to secure these bonds
and 1t is another strong a for
prompt action on our mart

$1,000 FIRE
! At CITY HALL
City Treasurer Garretson
Burns Up Bond Under New
State Law

There was $1,000 fire az city hall
yesterday. but few of the city en-
ployes working in the building were
awass Of it The fire LASTED only
about n minute and was in the
city clerks Office.
City Treasurer Ferd Garretson
was responsible for the confiagra-
ton which resulted in a $1,000 bond
going up IN smoke in less time than
it takes to tell it. The cremation
of the bond marked the conclusion
of the signing by the prorer city
officials of the 100000 park bonds
recently issued by the city Under
a new state law. the treasurer is
required to burn the last bond in
cases where the premium received
from the sale of the bonds exceeds
$1,000.
The rather expensive smoke pen
trated the nostrils of those working
on the first floor of the city hall for
some time after the cremation,
causing visions of Joys and pleasure,
which might have been theirs If the
bond. then a small pile Of ashes. had
been presented to them instead of
being burned.
