L BE OPENED IDAHO INTERESTS TO START IRRIGATION LX OREGON. Project Covers Extensive Holdings in Jackson and Klamath Conn- ties for Development. ASHLAND, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.) Bartlett Sinclair, an attorney and formerly .lieutenant-governor of Idaho, is in Ashland in the interest of clients owning timber holdings and farm lands In Jackson and Klamath counties. As soon as the titles to these lands are officially certified,. Mr. Sinclair says, development work will follow to the advantage of both counties. ' "Some of our lands will have to be irrigated before they can be culti vated. Naturally we are greatly in terested in the matter of Irrigation," said Mr. Sinclair. "I know counties in Idaho of which not an acre could be cultivated without irrigation. A few years ago these counties, except the railroad station settlements, we-e the exclusive homes of the ubiquitous jack rabbitr The federal government instituted a series of irrigation proj ects, amongst others the Arrow Rock and American Falls projects, and to day those jack rabbit habitats have been supplanted by substantial farm houses in the midst of the very best orchard and alfalfa section of the universe. Cities of a present popu lation of 10,000 and 15,000 followed as an inevitable result. D. W. Davis, governor of our atate. has his home at American Falls, the heart of- one of these marvelous irri gation districts. The importance of reclaiming south Idaho, which . is practically a semi-arid territory, dawned upon him many years ago. "We of Idaho, of all parties, believe Governor DaviL is the best fitted man for .the interior department- of Mr. Harding's cabinet that the west can center upon. If the west does not scatter its influence and support we are sure to get a cabinet portfolio, but if we fail to unite -on a single candidate, I think our chances are slim."
