Opposes Construction of

nation Service.

To the Settlers on the Boise Project:
You have no doubt read in our pa
oers of the proposed contract with the
|Gem Irrigation District and the 0. X
of our congressman, our senator's. oul
|Kiwanis clubs and everyone else, Il
seems. Now | have nothing against
helping the Gem but let us figure this
put. Arrowrock dam cost the Bois,
Project over two million dollars and
The lands under the Deer Flat Reser.
voir are assessed with the rest OF the
project pro rata and receive little OF
10 benefit. The proposed contract
sells all the power from Arrowrock
|ior all time for Sls0O0O. During the
summer flow il is estimated that So
700 horsepower is developed and there
steady flow of approximately s.
100 horsepower during the winter
months. The Gem Irrigation district
lses from six to seven thousand horse
power for irrigation and none at al
Turing the winter months. Can you
ell me any reason for manking any
,ne a present Of something they dom
reed? There are lot OF high lands
inside the limits OF our own project
hat could use this extra power and
.hus reduce the costs and the three
thousand horsepower would come IN
,andy for lights and farm use. Up to
his time the Idaho Power company
,as declined to give us service IRON
heir plant even when their wires burn
,fI the tops of our shade trees. What
will the Gem Irrigation district do
with this surplus? There will be only
,ne buyer in the field, and you and l.
{ we get a little of the current Will be
paving all the traffic will bear.
Now let's get together; it is said
s4s0O00 will build the plant; this
is only about $3.50 per acre TOR tne
Boise project lands. Let's build TINS
ourselves and then sell at low price
enough power to pump for the Gem
and use the rest ourselves. You peo-
ole that wish to give this power away
will find that we have some rights lett
in Arrowrock dam and that the sale
Il made will have to be ratified by the
people that are getting stung In
other words. you are trying to give us
credi, for about so cents per acre Tor
that which cost us $1,000. and you
mus, think we have mighty little gray
matter in our heads to sit idly by and
let you do it. ,.~ro>,
