14 THE MOBNINg OgEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1903. SHOSHONE "WILL PfiOFIT FROM "WATER POWER AND IRRIGATION ENTERPRISES SHOSHOXE, Idaho, June 27. (Special correspondence.) When the overland trains on the Oregon Short Line slow up at the depot In Shoshone, Idaho, the passengers. If It be in the day time, lean out of the windows, or get out on the platform to get a. view 01 tne pleasant town, with Its shady trees and attractive homes. Stretching -away on each side of Shoshone for more than 100 miles are endless plains or rolling nius covered with a dense growth of sage brush. Green trees and grassy lawns are so rare that the travelers become tired of the almost unchanging scene, and when mey arrive in tnis oasis it seems to them much mora attractive than it otherwise would. But aside from the fact that It Is such a contrast to Its surroundings, Shoshone is a very Interesting town. It Is a central point auu a case oi supply ior a large territory, and to it miners, stockmen and farmers come for supplies, and It Is probable thit no other town In Southern Idaho carries on a greater commercial activity than does Shoshone, In proportion to size. Extending northward is Wood River and Its tributaries, each of which is lined with green meadows and comfortable homes. A branch railroad runs from Shoshone up to Hailey. and large, old-fashioned white topped stage coaches keep the former place Jn touch with other Important points. South of Shoshone, 25 miles away. Snake River has worn a deep channel through the lava beds, though at intervals there are immense falls, ranking with some of the grandest In the world, where the hard stone has refused to yield to the constant friction of the stream. The most notable of these falls is, the one from which Shoshone has received Its name. The name, Shoshone, by the way. Is applied to a tribe of Idaho Indians, and in their language means Snake, hence Snake Rlyer was at one time generally known by the Indian name, Shoshone; Shonlioiie Knll. It is asserted that Shoshone Falls are the most remarkable of their kind in the United States. With the excentlnn nf the Niagara. They are 210 feet high, and so great is me viuration caused by them that extremely sensitive people often become seasick when staying for the night in a near-oy noiei. One very peculiar fact concerning the falls is the great depth of the water im mediately above them. Soundings that nave been made there reveal a depth of aw teet, which is but 10 feet less than be low the cataract. This- nhenompnnn p.iuhpq much speculation as o the origin of the treat aim or rock that nature seems to have placed across the river's channel. It Js supposed by some that a stream of lava was deposited in the river long after the channel was formed, while others say that tne dam is a deposit of calcium carbonate or limestone, and that the watw u tlnually building It by a dally deposit of me cnemicai. xne latter tneory is not iu.uuu.uie, as im; waier in anaKC stiver is uoi cnemicauy nara. Tvrln Fall. . Two and a half miles above Shoshone Falls are what are known as the Twin Falls. They gain their name from a tall stone cliff that sonarates the strMm ot- that point into two noisy cataracts. These laws are not so nign as tne Shoshone, be mg but lb4 reet, but they are no less in terestlnc. i An effort is now being made to harness inese tans and to transmit their power by electricity to distant places. The water power to be obtained is almost unlimited, and In addition to its use in manufactur ing enterprises it Is believed that it will he used on the higher country to pump -water ior irrigation. There are many places where an abund ance of water is found nt a modern te depth below the surface of the ground, and u wiu unaouuieuiy ne round orten prac ticable to bring a large supply of it to the surface for use on arid lands. That ! nn method of many that Is being considered in reclaiming mo sagebrush wastes. Litrjcent Cnnal In America. That which will aid In the in-nwth nf Shos-hone more than anything else Is the gigantic cmai mat is being taken out of oniiKe iver some distance above Twin l'ans, ana which is known as the Twin Fi.lls Canal. When It Is mmnlete1 It n-lli be the largest irrigating ditch on this con tinent, and will only be surpassed in the enure -wona uy tne great canal from the Nile River. The Twin Falls Canal Is being made SO teet wide on the bottom, and will carry a stream ten feet deep. On the surface of the water the stream will be 120 feet wide. Some idea of the great width of the canal can be obtained when It is known that a modern railway coach, pjaced lengthwise across the bottom of the ditch, would lack about live feet in touching the sides. A light-draft steamboat could be run upon It with ease when it is enmnleted. Tn Mil It an artificial river would be more appro priate man to term it a ditch. This creat canal will extend fnr a iiic tance of CO miles, and will furnish water to irrigate Z-H.ooo acres of level, fertile soil. In order to divert the water from the river into this canal and a smaller one that is being taken out on the north side oi uie nver, a costly aam is being built. The contract that has been let tnr the construction of the dam calls for tho pay ment or i,uw,wu, and the entire? cost of the dam and both canals will be between $2,000,000 and J3.000.O00. While the work is being done by private capital, tne state of Idaho and the Na tional Government, under the provisions oi mo carey act, are supporting It. The total amount of land thnt -rciu k irrigated by the two canals will be about 270.000 acres, which Is almost or mnoh Is now under cultivation in the whole state. It is estimated that JO nriw nf tM inn well Irrigated, -will produce more than cjiouEn io support an oramary family. If this be true, it will be possible for the land covered by these canals to furnish homes for 6750 families. Of course the jand win never be divided -up entirely into such tracts, as manv men of mona ..m probably obtain large areas, but the fig. lires portray wnat tne land can be expect ed to produce. It can readily be seen that Rhnshnna which Is at present one of the two railroad points that will furnish supplies for the land under these canals, has a promising future. The population of the town, which is the county seat of Lincoln County. Is limited at present to a few hundred. But trom present indications Shoshone can be expected to rank In a very few years with mo more important towns or Idaho. LIONEL A. JOHNSON, which It would be difficult to prove. He further adds: "They are bold birds; neither scarecrows, wind-rattles nor storms can frighten them, and to shoot them would damage the trees, and. fur ther, the Portland Gun Club men say, means a fine of J25 for shooting the yellow devils. We farmers would like to have those sports stuck in a trap so that we could fill their American, sally -ports with bird shot Just to get even." Captain Dawson Is evidently prejudiced against scissor birds and gun clubs, and has but little knowledge of either. Just where he gets authority for calling a little yellow bird scissor bird, it Is diffi cult to imagine, as no such bird Is known to naturalists.

Naturalists Say Xo Such. Species Ex ists as Farmers Name. Several complaints from persons In dif ferent parts of the -country in regard to Tlrds nipping the blossoms off cherry trees have been received and published by The Oregonian this Spring. A mem ber of the Jonn Burroughs Society is of opinion that but little importance should be attached to these complaints, as they are indefinite and not substantiated by facts. He says the name or a descrip tion of the bird which is charged with this mischief should be given, and a state ment should be furnished later as to the effect produced on the crop of the trees alleged to have been damaged. A complaint made by Captain J. J Dawson, of Bay City, Tillamook County" comes nearer being definite than most of them. He says the "scissor birds" have bitten enough blossoms off one of his trees to make half a bushel of cherries He mentions seeing a letter in The Ore gonian from one who names the "scissor bird" the "Jack Robin." "This." he says "is bosh. The scissor bird Is a small yel low bird which comes north from Cali fornia in April in small flocks not to ex ceed 15. and they work mostly in the Jilght."

The sooty fern, or "black skimmer," the flat bill of which is set on the wrong way, is called "scissor bill," but it lives on fish and does not eat cherry blossoms.

Of course, it is" perfectly clear to us that they are steeped In Ignorance while we dwell In the full light of truth, but we must remember that they think differently and that they have as much Tight to their opinions as we have to ours. One Of the- most fremient mincllnno asked, especially by Americans, and one ot me most aimcujt to answer. Is as to the success or failure of the Introduction of the Christian religion into Japan. Hence I approach It with great caution, knowing It to be the pet measure of many good people. The first thought, based upon observa tion. Is, Are the people of Japan ready and willing to receive the Christian re ligion x v e Know tney are intensely loyal tO everything- .Turin nose find lnnth change from their hereditary usages of any Kinu to new ones, except those which promise increased remuneration. The Ghlnto and Buddhist religions of Japan, a religion in which these people unquestionably have found happiness, peace and contentment, have a good deal to be admired, not least of which are three monkevs -on&' sees mired In lt-nn of many temples, or embroidered on Kake monos or paintea on screens, to be found in most households, one mnnlrev hnldlnw his hands over his ears, another over his eyes, and the third over his mouth, sym bolizing, "Don't hear, don't see and don't speak evil." This no doubt handed flnirn fnr (nn nr-t tlons, has largely contributed to develop the kindlv. eentle snlrlt nf thee nuinU and could be adopted by the Caucasian race with benefit.

Their fearlessness, endurance and pluck is said to be due to the Victory over China In their recent unpleasantness. The darkest and largest Japanese, known as the Anos come from the North, of which we have a. great many Just now. At first glance they resemble our Indians, the same long black hair, high cheekbones, firm chin, stoical countenance and sinewy frame They wear blankets nf v9r,..
