TWENTY MILLION FOR IDAHO

approximately twenty million dol
lars will be expended on the Ameri-
can Falls reservoir and on the north
side Minidoka project, should the
proposed dam be built, according to
unofficial estimate of the reclama-
ton officials.
Eight and a half million will be
required to construct the American
Falls reservoir. Eleven and a half
million additional would be required
to build the Minidoka irrigation pro-
ject and prepare it for settlers. The
greater portion of this amount would
be spent within the next five years.
The opening to the government
project at Minidoka, according to
reclamation officials, would bring
5000 people to southern Idaho as
permanent home makers. Great
benefits would also accrue to every
section of southern Idaho as it is
pointed out that they would visit
American Falls, a nationally adver-
tised city, and from there radiate to
every section of the Snake river
valley.
The estimate Of eight and one
half million for the proposed Ameri-
can Falls reservoir would build the
dam to the capacity of million and
half acre feet, an amount that will
meet the demand of the present con-
tracts with the government.
An item pointed with special in
terest is the fact that the present
appropriation for he American Falls
project expires July 1 and will re-
vert to the general fund. For this
reason, those in favor of the project
are urging the greatest possible
speed in holding the elections and
deciding the issues.-Idaho States

FARMERS SHOULD SEE THEM

F. A. Starkweather has arranged
his feed yards at the ranch for feed
ing sheep in the greatest possible
comfort and to give equal chances
for feed and water to each of the
$500 animals. We are indebted tC
E. j. Fjeldsted for the information
and description of the yards.
They are laid out in blocks and
each inner side Of the block are feed
racks two feet wide and about
| twelve feet long, extending in toward
| the center, the racks being parallel
to each other and not reaching quite
to the center of the block, thus leav-
ing an open space up and down the
center.
The alleys between the blocks
have been scooped out slightly and
the dirt used to grade up the ground
within the blocks, sloping for good
drainage. Straw is spread over the
ground for them to stand and sleep
on, and it remains dry and clean for
some time. The hay, grain and po-
tatoes are put into the feed racks,
and it is put in as nearly all at once
as possible. The sacks are laid out
along the sides of the block and
when ready to dump into the feed
ers, four men go at it from four diff
ferent corners and dump the sacks
rapidly, so that all in that block are
dumped within a few moments. All
animals get at the feed at about the
same time and there is very little
crowding and none of them have
!
go to other racks and eat a share of
the others.
The animals are growing and TAX
ing on weight steadily, but some all
ment has caused some deaths that
have been difficult to account for
They think they have the matter
under control now.
Mr. Fjeldsted said that while he
was the the fat stock show at Ogden
he went out to some place where
they were feeding thirty or forty
thousand sheep, and found them all
standing around in mud up to their
bodies. They had suitable feeders
to eat out of, but suffered this chill
on feet and legs all the time, and
had to sleep in it, All the animals
were plastered with mud and filth
and were a sorry lot. 1t was con-
coded that it would be next to i'm
possible to make any progress in
them while kept in that
kind of place.

MAYOR BLACK SEEKS
TO RAISE MONEY TO
PAY JUDGE SLUDER
Bill for $3.50 Presented for
Work Done on Or
der of Mayor.

Mayor Black is frantically seeking
ways and means by which he may in
duce the city commission to appropriate
$3.50, "or so much thereof as may be
necessary" TO pay Judge ]. L. Sluder
for services rendered. \ bill for this
amount was submitted TO the mayor
some time ago and up 10 date has not
been paid. Several conferences have
been held in the mayors office on the
subject.
Commissioner John z. Pfeiffer, it is
known, will oppose the payment of this
fee and it is believed that it will meet
with opposition from other commits
sioners. If the mayor can secure two
votes in the commission, however, the
tax commissioner admitted that the APP
preparation could be made over his OBJ
jections.
1t seems that Mayor Black employed
Judge Sluder last spring when the Ques-
ton of the city's acquiring the local gas
plant was agitated. 1t is known that
the mayor boosted that he had secured a
competent private attorney in order
that he might be right on this ques-
ton. Then, later on, the charter
amendment question came up. Judge
Sluder was active in drawing up these
charter changes which have never been
acted on. Then recently came Judge
Sluder's bill.
Commissioner Pfeiffer insists that he
understood Judge Sluder was represent.
ing a bonding concern which would have
purchased the city bonds. in case they
were voted 10 buy the gas plant. He
also states that he understood Judge
Sluder was assisting in the drawing up
