IDAHO PROJECT IS
UP TO THE PEOPLE

Washington, April 12.-.'The gov
eminent looks with favor on the
American Falls irrigation project in
Idaho; thinks it is NOT only feas
ible, but gives promise Of being a
great success, but the government is
not committed to the building of
that project and will not Obligate
itself to build that project unless
the settlers under the various lrri-
CATION companies coming within the
project make good their promises
and meet their obligations to the
government. Til e project s
reached a point where further pro-
gress depends upon the settlers and
the irrigation companies
This plain statement was made by
Secretary Fall today when his at
tention was invited to a dispatch
from Idaho stating than many set
tiers under the project were inclin-
ed to back down on the proposal to
form one large, comprehensive irri-
cation district to take over and dis
charge the obligation previously as
sumed by the irrigation companies,
because of prevalent opinion that
the government is now committed to
the American Falls project, and will
build 1t with its own funds, even If
the settlers do not kick In
Must Meet Obligations.
Secretary Fall made 1t clear that
if any settlers were laboring under
that idea they are badly mistaken.
and are in for rude awakening.
And he made it equally clear that
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1922-04-21

it rests with the settlers of the
proposed irrigation project to de-
termine whether or not the Ameri-
can Falls project shall be built. If
they proceed in good faith, organize
their district, obligate themselves
and then raise the funds pledged
but never paid by the irrigation
companies, all we'll and good; the
project will go forward If they do
not meet their obligations the pro-
ject will be doomed.
Secretary Fall takes the position
that so far as the government alone
is concerned, it is mot justified in
the expenditure of $15,OO0,0OO in
building the American Falls pro-
ject, because in building this pro-
| ject the government must drown out
or overflow 10000 acres of land
now largely in private ownership
and only 100000 acres of public
land can be reclaimed under the
project proposed. Roughly speak
ing, from purely government
standpoint, the building Of the pro-
ject would mean increasing the cul-
tivated area less than $4,000 acres,
net, and that acreage alone would
never justify the vast expenditure.
Cooperation Needed.
| Therefore, to make the project
economically feasible, the private
lands must be brought in in sat
isfactory way, and must not only
agree to bear their fair proportion
Of the aggregate cost, but must be-
gin to show their good faith by con-
tributing the amounts that must
be raised privately in order that the
power company properties may be

project, and Secretary Fall said
that he stands today exactly where
he stood early in the winter when

American Falls TOWNSHIP Is not to be
interpreted as committing the gov

been spent in buying up property
that would be flooded by the reser-
voir. and If the project has to be
abandoned because of lack Of local
cooperation, that money probably
can be recovered by the government.
