SOME RESERVOIK
EXPERIENCE

There are good many men dis
cussing the reservoir problem and
the matter of forming the big dis
trict to finance it.
There are men who are saying
that old canals with good water
rights have not been receiving their
share Of the natural flow in recent
years, and that is probably true.
There are men who are saying
that the remedy for this situation
lies In having q set of men ON the
river to do the measuring of water
and to keep the records and check
against mistkes or Encouragement
by those already in charge, and that
is probably ture.
There are men who are saying
that these old water rights were suf-
fcient and satisfactory until recent
years when we fell heir to too much
regulation by men we do not, know
us and who do not know nor seem
to care very much about the validity
of our old water rights, and that is
probably true.
!, There are men who are stock
holders in the oldest and best canals
on Snake river, who went out into
the river every year at about the last
of July and the first of August and
scraped gravel and built rock dams

A SMASHING BIG
RESERVOIR

If we think the American Falls
reservoir is too big project for us
to undertake, we might get some
ideas from the State Of Washington,
where they are taking some of our
Idaho men and would like to take
our engineers and equipment for use
in their undertaking on the Colum-
bia that it will require six years to
build and an expenditure of 223 mil
lion dollars.
General Goethals, the engineer
who was in charge of construction
OF the Panama canal, and who
worked that army of men with such
marked efficiency and high moral
thru all the seasons to completion,
has recently made his report upon
the feasibility Of the Columbia river
project for the reclamation of three
million acres of land. The report
covers eighty-five pages of typewrit-
ten matter, and here is very brief
summary of it. If you have q map
of Washington, turn to it and find
the great plains lying between the
Snake and the Columbia, and then
trace the water course back up to

near their headgates to get the
water into the canals, and kept do
ing this annually until the jackson
dam was built without cost to them,
and when It Is said that these same
men have forgotten how they used
to get out and battle in the river to
get the water into the canals, that
is probably true.
The loss of time which practically
all Of the old canals suffered in, the
heat of summer building temporary
dams, and the loss of crops that
burned during that brief period,
made big hole in the income of all
those people, and it nearly ceased
when the jackson reservoir was put
into commission.
When the stored water was turned
down the river in connection with
the natural flow belonging to the old
canals, let us suppose that the stored
water carried the other water on the
top of 1t and kept it up high enough
to run right into the old canals with
out having the temporary dams built
in. OF course, the water Is not
identified, but this assumption has
been acted upon-that the natural
flow ran on the top of the stream
and It has been drawn OF into the
canals and used without trouble at
times when were it not for the
stored water running in the channel,
the owners of the old rights would
have been building dams and losing
time using the water.
On one occasion when the river
thru Bingham county was lined with
gangs Of teams and scrapers and
wagons hauling rock and rubbish
to throw into the stream to make
temporary dams, the Danskin Ditch
company extended its rock dam
farther every day and at night never
had enough to flow thru the canal
because the stream was shrinking az
fast as the dam was extended and
1t all flowed past the headgate. When
the dam was completed and the
water was running thru it ike a
sieve, the officers wired to Salt Lake
City for enough canvas to string
across the river the whole length
of the dam, and when it arrived it
was laid on and it turned in all the
water the canal would carry, but
those who we're building dams be-
low found their efforts were made
useless for the Danskin ditch took
nearly all the stream. That canvas
cost the company $500 and it all
rotted in the water in few weeks.
The money that was invested in
canvas and dams was dead loss, It
had to be done over every year or
most of it, and while it was being
done the crops were suffering. The
old settlers have probably spent no
less than million dollars in build
Ing temporary dams to take water
away from one another, and had
nothing left to show for it but the
necessity OF renewing the struggle
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-04-13

each succeeding year. II they had
had the vision to build the jackson
Lake dam, which cost 5000 they
would have had all their troubles
wiped out at single stroke and no
need left for all the litigation they
paid for. But these newcomers
down the country had the vision and
the courage to put $4,000 into a
dam and reservoir and 1t Is now
worth perhaps. ten million dollars.
1t has been worth vast sums to the
old settlers just for floating their
own natural flow high enough in
August so that they can draw 1t
without building temporary dams,
but we could not foresee that II
would have such value to us until
we saw it in operation, and even
now we are slow to acknowledge
that 1t has such value. The whole
enterprise has been good for US and
has stabilized the flow and delivery
of our water, not saying that we
have not been uchered out OF some
of 1t.
II we, the old settlers Of the up
per valley had had the vision and
the courage and the horse sense to
build the Jackson dam we could sell
1t now to newcomers for price
that would net US several millions OF
dollars, but we sat back and scoffed
or doubted or knocked or remained
neutral or bought little stock in
1t as our respective judgments die
tated and all of US who scoffed and
doubted and knocked-what did II
profit us?
And what will it profit us to doubt
and scott and knock against the pro-
posed American Falls reservoir, the
best site there Is left on the. river?
