A large but evanescent population flacked to the val ley although tha nearest " railroad was 200 miles away and everything had to be freighted, in and, out, But only ' one crop of gold could be garnered and the expect ation was that when the pay-dirt had all been panned, the Valley of the Boise, liki many other mining districts, would van ish from tha map aa a producing locality Not so, however. .The out-put of the val ley to-day from hundred or so thousand acres of irrigated land is fast apprrach ing the profit realized from tha mines during their best days. Certainly when the enormous irrigation work which are their being constructed by the gove mo ment are completed the output of agri culture will contribute to the world's weaiui every year atiii ivr ii uinw after, an amount much greater than the annual products oi tha "Basin" diggings during the palmiest days, while the Vat ley will support a population of at least 200,000 people. The state of Idaho is larger than all New England, but it ha let than two persons to the square mile.

NEWLIN DRUG COMPANY THE HOME OF VINOL -UO'vM- d need' tome of the hardy Argonauts to break the rule of casta and engage in what wa then considered the humblest of occupation, the growing of potatoes, cabbage and small fruits. With splendid markets thi industry prospered and grew and when the placers were exhaueted, a thriving farming community remained to develop these permanent resources of the valley. But little of the "Klondyke" of 1864 remain. Its disappointments and lavish rewards; its destitution and reckless prodigality are things of the past. Today it is difficult to realize that this valley was one of the famous theaters where reckless and daring spirits were the prin cipal actors and where only the fittest survived. Unlike many of the Klondykcs which have had their day during the past 60 years, this valley provided for the overflow, and the spirit of enterprise , , ,. , , i . dangers in the search of gold, found a field here for the exercise of surplus en ergy in the construction of canals and the reclamation of the lands in adjacent val leys. . Like the Mormon farmer, the early tiller of the Boise Valley found irrigation necessary, and since the first crude effort nearly $2,000,000 have been ex pended in the construction of irrigation works, and more than 100,000 acres of land have been reclaimed. - Substantial cities and towns have grown up, railroads cross the valley in every direction, and from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 have been added to the productive capital of the west. But the limit for private enterprise has been reached. The natural flow of the river has been fully utilized, and it is only by the construction of engineering works enormously expensive that the complete agricultural development of the country can take place. The only agency which can safely undertake this great work is the United States. With commendable enterprise tha owners of land in the valley have harmonized all questions of con flicting water rights and are now pre paring to co-operate heartily with the government in carrying forward what is termed the Payette-Boise project, the largest of tha national reclamation works which has yet been approved by the sec retary of the interior. LAROBR THAN SALT LA KB VALLEY The construction of this great system will require several years and entails the expenditure of nearly $8,000,000. The area to be reclaimed is 370,000 acres, or more than twice the cultivated acreage of Rhode Island., The works consist of storage reservoir on the headwaters of the Payette and Boise rivers, and in the Boise valley the building of gigantic dams on these two rivers and about 200 miles of main canals. The secretary has auth orized the initial construction of a dam in Boise River, about 33 miles of main canal and a reservoir which will be capable of storing water enough for the late 'irriga tion of about 120,000 acres of land in Boise Valley. . The bids were opened at Boise, Idaho, on February 1, 1906, and the contracts provide for the expenditure by the United Stales of about $1,000,000. The Boise valley now has a population of about 30. 000. It contains 60 per cent more irri gable land and has a. more favorable climate than the great Salt Lake vailey of Utah, which today sustains a popula tion of about 1 60,000. Guv E. Mitchell.
