DRY LANDS OF
IDAHO TO BE
RECLAIMED
POCATELLO, Idaho, March 15.—An
ambitious and far-reaching project in
irrigation and water conservation is
presented in the plan of the Snake
River Development Association. It in
volves the reclamation of 1,200,000
acres of dry lands in what is known
as the west district of the upper Snake
river valley, or on the “desert.”
It is part of what was once known
as the old Dubois project, abandoned
before it was fairly started, under the
supervision of the federal government,
ahd would amplify the government's
project by a vast acreage. i
Business men, farmers and other i
individuals of the towns of Idaho
Palls, Blackfoot, Dubois and other
communities have organized for the '
purpose of inducing the federal agen- I
cies to again go ahead with the plan
and to induce the increase of an ap
propriation to further the proposition.
The peculiar circumstances sur
rounaing tne scneme is that It has
been determined that seepage of waste
water can be conserved. Yearly, a
vast wastage of Snake river water
drifts into the desert or goes on to
the ocean unused. The waterways of
Little and Big Lost rivers, as weli as
Birch creek, eventually seep into the
desert, to reappear lower down on the
Snake river later in the season. The
phenomena—if such it could be called
—has been noted for many years.
The projectors of the plan have
conceived the notion that by storing
the waste of flood waters, or even the
seepage of the rivers early in the sea
son, or turning it loose on the desert,
that will be subject later for the very
practical use of bringing new lands
into cultivation. It is what engineers
term the “return flow,” and it appears
about the time it is required for irri
gation reservoirs. Reservoirs could
be utilized for impounding much of
it. The balance could be stored in the
Snake river plains for long periods
and eventually would find its way to
the river level and could be turned
into the canal systems.
The appropriation is required for the
construction of necessary canals In
addition to those existing, and for res
ervoirs. The additional land made
available for settlement would approx
imate over a half million acres more
than the government estimate of sev
eral years ago.
The Dubois project extends from
the foot of the Bitter Root mountains,
Montana, to the central part of Bing
ham county, and to the region below
Mackay, Idaho.
A similar project is under way for
Owyhee- county, this state, to secure
the same water and same sites, for a
tract comprising 640,000 acres, though
the "return flow,” on this theory,
. would doubtless reclaim both projects.
Many public bodies are becoming
intensely interested- in the enterprises
and the matter has been taken up with
legislative delegations in Washington.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT
TAKEN FROM POLICE
LONDON, Peb. 10 (by mail).—The
last vestige of military equipment was
taken from the London police today,
when an order was issued by the com
missioner of the metropolitan force
for the return to the stores of all
swords and scabbards.
In the old days superintendents, in
spectors and all mounted men carried
swords and were instructed in cutlass
drill. The weapons were occasionally
used in the suppression of riots. Years
ago tife inspectors were deprived of
their swords, which they hung in the
police stations. The order withdraw
ing the swords will not lead to the
withdrawal of automatic pistols, a
supply of which is kept in every police
station for use in cases of emergency.
In ordinary times the London ‘‘Bobby”
goes out for duty armed with no more
effective weapon than the law and the
impressive, dignity of his six-foot per
sonality.
TEN MILLION CASES
OF INFLUENZA M JAPAN
TOKIO, Peb. 10 (by mail).—There
were 10,001J,000 cases of influenza in
Japan in October, November and De
cember, according to the report of the
home department officials. This
means that one in every seven of the
population was attacked. During the
three months 80 per cent of all deaths
were from influenza-pneumonia.
