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.
