odical water shortage and crop los
ses, any surplus water will be avail
able for new tracts.
Much of the storage in the reser-
voir at present contemplated will be
used to supplement the present wa
ter supply of cultivated tracts.
The governments interest is in
what is known as the Minidoka ex-
tension of 125, 900 acres for which
it will take $4,000 acre feet of
storage in the reservoir.
Work Is Immense
The immensely of this reservoir
may be visualized by the statement
that 1t will be among the worlds
wonders as a means of water stor-
age.
There will be only three compare
BILE reservoirs, one on the Euphra-
ties, one on the Nile and one created
by the Gatum dam at Panama,
which is not an irrigation project.
The American Falls, or Idaho,
reservoir will, therefore, attract not
only national but International at
tention. s.
The floor of thereservoir will con
tain $4,000 acres when the project
is extended to the full capacity of
5000, 600 acre feet. All prelimi-
naries are based on the maximum
reservoir.
A valuable contrast is made pos
sible by the statement that the
maximum storage at Arrow Rock is
100000 acre feet.

Rock reservoir was estimated at
5000, 900; the cost was $4,000
900. A somewhat erlative spread
reservoir 1t is felt that estimates
on the American Falls are higher
than the actual costs will be.
Based on these estimates, and
using round numbers for convenient
arithmetic, the cost of the Ameri-
Falls reservoir, as to the first
of 100000 acre feet, will be
SO, 100000, or Sc an acre foot. This

Good Showing i'm Certificates
and Diplomas

Beginning with the year 1918, tC
date, including 1928 estimate, there
will have been issued 495 first grads
certificates, 244 second grade, and
2S2 third grade, making a total OF
1921 certificates issued for the six
years.
The life diplomas issued by the
Albion Stsate Normal up to May II,
1917, totaled 255. From 1917, in
Guiding estimate to date, there will
have been issued 2S9 life diplomas
or "a more diplomas in the last six
years than have been issued in the
twenty-one years previous. The to-
tai number of life diplomas issued
since the establishment of this
school, including estimate to date, is
544.
There Are Live School Activities
The school is thoroughly organic
ed and represented in both athletic
and literary work. 1t has two liter
airy societies, the Efersonian and
Philomatean, that hold the member
ship of the entire school. Each So
ciety puts on a well-directed and
criticised program every Friday
night, so that all may have the adj
vantage of literary culture and ex-
perience in public appearance.
There are teams representing the
school in all athletic activities and
the support of an enthusiastic
body.
School Occupies High Educational
Position
Since establishment, the school
has been active and sincere in it's
purose, thorough and practical in it's
accomplishments, and has held a
most useful position in the educa-
Lional system of Idaho. AS a pres
ant evidence of this fact, the report
Of January 81, 1923, showed that

With an ample water supply to
meet all shortages, values will be
stabilized and sales at a profit made
more possible than at present be-
causeof an existing handicap, quite
as damaging as faulty title.
Reservoir Is Capstone of Industrial
Arch
Several important industrial en-
terprises hinge upon the American
Falls reservoir construction, a 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 cap stone of an arch
of marvellous possibilities for south
Idaho.
Long hauls necessarily make
higher freight rates than short
hauls on elemental commodities and
put our produce into competition
with widespread markets. We need
new western markets. Railroad
capital will become interested only
the future possibilities justify
the investment.
The formation of the district
makes it possible to negotiate a con-
tract with the government for the
amount of water each unit of the
district wants, each paying for only
what it desires and receives. A
election will follow as soon as
possible and the contract and bond
pl oposal must both be approved by
a two-thirds majority. On the ba-
sis of presnet water storage needs,
bonds for the district will be
1900, 900 to $4,000, 900. The
unit quotas may be reduced, howev-
sr, depending upon the desires Of
The farmers.
The governments share of $780,
300 feet will cost the government
$3,500,000. Other irriga-
ion districts, already formed, and
companies will take up the
balance of the 100000 acre feet.

Benefits of Project VIII Be
Widespread

/ The benefits of the undertaking
will extend to all south Idaho, and
with special emphasis to the Snake
river 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 3,000,0 600 acre feet.
A general stimulation of bust
ness in all lines, notably agricul-
ture, will result.
The organization Of the district
just formed has already exerted
that influence to an extent hardly
expected SC soon by putting new life
into the people, inducing them with
the old Idaho spirit, getting them
