Benefits of Project

The benefits of the undertaking
will extend to all south Idaho, and
with special emphasis to the Snake
rever valley, whose previous water
shortages have been terribly costly.
Enough has been lost through water
shortages in that valley alone to
build three or four American Falls
reservoirs to the maximum capacity
of 100000 acre feet.
A general stimulation of business
in all lines, notably agriculture, will
result
The organization of the district
just formed has already exerted that
influence to an extent hardly expect
ed so soon by putting new life into
the people, imbuing them with the
old Idaho spirit. getting them head
ed out of the rut.
With an ample water supply to
meet all shortages, values will be
stabilized and land sales at a profit
made more possible than at present
because of an existing handicap,
quite as damaging as faulty title.
This means more population, more
production. more wealth and. in con-
sequence, a lowering of taxation.

Capstone of the Arch

Several important industrial en-
terprises hinge upon the American
Falls reservoir construction, most
important one being new railroad
building that will connect this sec
ton with the California markets and
give south Idaho a shorter route to
the southern Pacific coast points.
The reservoir project, therefore,
constitutes the capstone of an arch
of marvellous possibilities for south
Idaho.
Long hauls necessarily make high
ar freight rates than short hauls on
elemental commodities and put our
produce into competition with wide
spread markets. We need new west
ern markets. Railroad capital will
become interested only when the flu
ture possibilities justify the invest
ment.

RESERVOIR PROJECT
OF GREAT BENEFIT
Guy Flenner, Managing Secretary of
Idaho Reclamation Assn, Tells
of the Big Undertaking
Buy Guy Flenner

The American Falls reservoir dis
trict, just formed, embraces approx
mately 100000 acres, with the Twin
Falls north and south side tracts as
the dominant acreage. The district
was formed to aid in financing the
reservoir project, which is to be car
ried on comparatively by the govern
ment and this and other districts and
companies that will contract for wa
ter storage.
The theory behind the effort to
date is to utilize through storage
whatever may be necessary of the
present waste water in the Snake
river to give an ample supply to cul-
tivated tracts first of all After they
have been supplied to the extent of
their needs, to prevent periodical wa
ter shortage and crop losses, any
surplus water will be available for
new tracts.
Much of the storage in the reser-
voir at present contemplated will be
used to supplement the present water
supply OF cultivated tracts.
The governments interest is in
what is known as the Minidoka ex-
tension of 125,O0O acres for which
it will take $4,000 acre feet of sto-
rage in the reservoir.

For such a reservoir storage the
height of the dam will be rs feet
Addition of 20 to 20 feet will double
the capacity, or make the reservoir
100000 acre feet, at a relatively
small cost, around three to four mil
lion dollars.
In order to equalize the cost, and
place present and future contractors
for storage water on the same cost
basis, all contracts will provide that
those coming in later, and getting top
rights in the reservoir, must pay the
same acre foot charge. However, the
difference between these payments
and the actual cost of the added con-
struction, will be refunded pro rata
to all the contractors, including the

A GREAT PUBLICATION

Through the courtesy of w. r.
Armstrong, assistant chief engineer
of the Union Pacific System, at Salt
Lake City, the Republican is in re-
ceipt of the railroad edition of the
Chicago Journal of Commerce, the
greatest financial authority in the
Middle West. This edition is one
of the most comprehensive ever pub
lished, not alone for its railroad
news, but for the comprehensive and
extensive manner in which matters
of general financial interest are set
forth.
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1923-02-03
Cost of Construction

Government engineers have uni
formly estimated reservoir costs
higher than the actual cost Arrow
rock reservoir was estimated at
s6,00O,0O0; the cost was $4,600,000
A somewhat relative spread occurred
as to the Jackson Lake reservoir. It
is felt that estimates on the Ameri-
can Falls are higher than the actual
cost will be.
Based on these estimates, and us
ing round numbers for convenient
arithmetic, the cost of the American
Falls reservoir, as to the first unit OF
1900, 900 acre feet, will be $4,000
600, or Sc an acre foot. This cost
includes all the preliminaries, in
Guiding foundation, moving the town
of American Falls, the railroad, etc.

Immensity of Work

The immensely of this reservoir
may be visualized by the statement
that it win be among the worlds
wonders as a means of water storage.
There will be only three compare
BILE reservoirs, one on the Euphrates,
one on the Nile and one created by
the Gatun dam at Panama, which is
not an irrigation project.
The American Falls, or Idaho, res
ervoir will, therefore, attract not
only national but international at
tention. The floor of the reservoir
will contain $4,000 acres when the
project is extended to the full ca
pacity OF 100000 acre feet. All
preliminaries are based on the maxi
mum reservoir.
A valuable contrast is made pos
sible by the statement that the maxi
mum storage at Arrow Rock is 27O,-
600 acre feet.

problem was to get the truth to the
people of the district.
The formation of the district makes
it possible to negotiate a contract
with the government for the amount
of water each unit of the district
wants, each paying for only what it
desires and receives. A bond cleo
ton will follow as soon as possible,
and the contract and bond proposal
must both be approved by a two
thirds majority. On the basis of
present indicated water storage
needs, the bonds for the district will
be $1,SOO,OOO to $2,OOO.OOO. The
unit quotas may be reduced, how
ever, depending upon the desires of
the farmers.
The governments share of $4,000
acre feet will cost the government
around $3,5OO,OOO. other irrigation
districts, already formed, and other
companies, will take up the balance
of the 100000 acre feet.

Opposition to the formation of the
new district, which is a vital link in
the chain, was caused principally by
Misunderstanding of the facts. The
