that needs and will use the right.
This will take 800 additional second
feet from the river, another loss that
will materially affect the supply of
water from the Aberdeen tract ac-
cording to Walker.
In all the Aberdeen tract stands to
lose between 300 and 500 second feet
of available water through the devel-
opement of the Idaho Canal and the
Fort Hall Project and the sale of older
decreed rights up the river.
This is given by Walker as one of
the reasons why water users under
the Aberdeen tract should consider
carefully before turning down the
Falls Reservoir Project at
the election January 10th.

WATER RIGHTS OF
ABERDEEN-SPRINGFIELD
CANAL CO.. THREATENED

Water rights of the Aberdeen
Springfield Canal - Company are
threatened severely by the enlarge
ment of the Idaho canal that will sup
ply additional water to the Fort Hall
project says Lester Walker, water
master for the Aberdeen company.
Walker was among those who met in
American Falls last week to discuss
plans for the reservoir district cleo
ton to be held at Springfield Janu-
airy 18th and at six other precincts
in the valley.
In past seasons of shortage it has
always been possible to borrow wa
ter from the Fort Hall project and
even from the Blackfoot reservoir. ac-
cording to the water master. This
loan has amounted to as much as 500
second feet of water, possibly more,
depending upon the amount used
from the Blackfoot reservoir. The In
dian service is now enlarging the
Idaho canal to take all the decreed
rights of the Fort Hall project, which
means that this water will not longer
Aberdeen-Springfield tract canals.
The loss is estimated by the water
master to be at least 300 second feet
from this source and possibly coo
second feet. When it is realized that
the decreed right of the Aberdeen
canal calls for 1875 second feet the
loss can be properly guaged.
The watermaster points out that
the Aberdeen canal will be entitled |
to as much water as it has ever re-
ceived. The trouble is that the wa
ter will not be in the river when the |
Idaho canal starts taking her full al
lotment.
Decread water rights for 800 sec
ond feet of Snake river water in the
Island Park district that have never
been used, are being offered for sale
according to watermaster, Walker |
While the sale will be opposed in /
court as damaging the claim of other
users, there is a grave possibility
that the sale will be legalized and the
transfer of the decree made to tract /
