"' The expenditure of this vast sum of . money means wonderful prosperity in Idaho for a number cf years at least. 1 Tho original Payette-Boise project In cluded an area of 402,700 acres and was divided Into four subdivisions: Tour Separata nana, " The Payette division, comprising lands ' in the Fayette valley and part of the Boise valley, the total area being 72,000 acres, of which 60,000 were detsert and :'1f nnlt unrlor cultivation. The north Bide Boise unit, comprising land on the north side of the Boise river under Farmers' Union canal, ihe ..total area being 83,000 acres, of which 5,000 acres were desert and 8000 cul tivated. , The south side Boise unit, comprising " 172.000 acres, of which 109,000 acres were already Irrigated or provided with canals of sufficient capacity therefor. The Succor creek division, comprising lands on the south side of Snake river, near the Idaho-Oregon line. the- total area being 25,700 acres, of which 19,000 aorea were to be served by reservoirs on Succor creek, and 18.700 by pumping from Snake river.- Tha project as now defined lies within the third subdivision, and comprises a ' total of 213.000 acres, of which 164,000 are new lands and 79,000 are old lands already under Irrigation from private ditches. -. f .. High, Dry Land. 1 1 The average elevation of the Irrigable area Is 2600 feet above sea level, and the average rainfall Is about 13 Inches, an amount too email to permit success ful dry farming In this locality. At tho present time the distribution system is capable of delivering water to 187,338 ' aorea. Of these 108,338 acres, comprls tng 12J7 farm units, are new land. Th expenditures on this project to June (0, 1910, have been $3,404,327.18. The estimated additional cost to com plete Is $7,448,108.93. making the total estimated cost of completion $10,863, 35.U. ' Lands in the project without water -are veiling Bt from 350 to 175 per acre. Lands under cultivation with fairly good water right under the Old canals are selling at from $160 to $250. and even as high aa 1500 per acre. The soil is fertile, easily worked, and the climate ts well adapted to fruit raising, as well as to the growing of grains and alfalfa. The estimated cost of irrigation is $66 per acre.

It is unofficially stated that the com pleted project will entail the expenditure of between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000, and will add to Idaho'a wonders the greatest pumping plant In the world. Added to this project, which la al most a certainty, Is the activltyrof the Klmora Irrigation, company and the good word from Senator W, E.

FARMERS RID COUNTY OF COYOTE PEST '(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Lakevlew, Or., Jan. 20. Settlers In some of the new valleys In the county are having considerable sport by killing the coyotes that have b6thered the stockmen considerably. The county clerk has paid bounties on 2086 of the animals so far this season and there are many that are being held back until the season is closed which will be after the spring comes and the pelts become of poor quality. In addition to the bounty of $1.60 that is paid, tho pelts are worth about $3 when "prime." It Is estimated that the death of each of the animals at this time of the year is worth $00 to the owners of sheep throughout the county. Fresh efforts wete recently made at Aberdeen, Scotland, to reorganize the Dockers' union. the Realm WHY SHE WANTED A DIVORCE By Parra More. TRTLK had been married two years. Her girlhood had been a skimpy and economical affair. She married a nvn considerably older than herself, who had ac cumulated many bags of gold. Her two years of wedlock had been a succession of delightful extravagances. Nothing was denied her that money would buy, except her freedom. Myrtle was not satisfied with her ordinary, sedentary husband's affec tion) she craved the attention and adu lation of other men. She longed to thrill men's hearts and show the world that her powers of attraction had not waned. But, Husband Money-Bags ob jected. He would 'indulge almost any whim of hlB pretty wife, but no flirta tions. Then, a brilliant idea came to Myrtle. Why not divorce her' husband, and with the alimony that would accrue, she could live independently and charming ly? And Myrtle did. Not" nn . excuse for the severing of the marital tie did she have. - . And thus It Is, that a great many Myrtles to whom a husband Is a bore It either marks the parting of the ways of close companionship, or the cement ing of a lifelong understanding and com radeship that most beautiful of mutual possessions between parent and child. It Is the time the critical time-J when the parent becomes In a greater degree than ever the student of young life 'and the Interests of youth. Too many parents forget that the ooy or girl cannot see things as they see tuerh with their accumulated years of expe rience. They overlook the fact that what may seem wholly unwise to them appears desirable to the young people, What seems necessary and Just, may appear arbitrary and dictatorial. This is the result of different view points and the remedy lies In sharing their hopes, In seeing' their pleasures as they see them; in understanding their recreations and companionships'; in hav- lMf them fcnew t hafr'wur liemi jh1 tfl'1 their work and their play, tharfou sym pathize with them, and thai, when you find it necessary to object to a compan ion or to curtail, an anticipated pleas completion. 1,500, TO FINISH PROJECT Klamath County People Would Have Reclamation Work Rushed. (Rpeelal Plsnatch to Ta Jonrnal.) Klamath Falls, Or., Jan. 21. The secratary of the Interior is being urgftd to increase the $600,000 opproprlatlon so as to make It sufficient to complete the . portions of .the Klamath project that met with the approval of the army engineers. It would take approximately $1,500,000 o do this. The Klamath "project has on hand a little loss than $400,000, the amount left over from previous appropriations. Thls money Is to be utilized In the construc tion of the Lost river dam and drain age canal. Tbe oontracts for this work have been let and arrangements are now being made to begin work In the early spring. The dam and diversion canal will carry the entire flow of Lost river to the Klamath river. The river now flows Into Tule lake. The shutting off of the river will lower- the lake rapidly. The natural outlet that was discovered two ye-s ago Is far enough below the level of the lake that It will be of material assistance In the speedy reclamation of the marginal lands of Tule lake. Myaterious Lake Outlet. The outlet "is mora of a mystery than when it was when first discovered. Where- the water goes Is still an un solved problem. It is no longer believed tiiat it flows into a cavern in the his toric lava beds. If this were tho case, it is believed there would be indication of its filling up. Engineers who have watched the outlet and made a study '61 the conditions believe that there is a subterrenean channel from Tule lake to Fall river and that the water finds Its way Into the river a 100 miles distant The construction of the Lost river dam and the diversion canal will require about 15 months' time. After the flow of the river has been diverted it will require but a short time until the lake will be preceptibly lowered and within a very few years the southern portion of the Klamath basin should have added to It an area of about 20,000 acres of fertile lands, all of which can be irri gated.

While a cry Is going up throughout the country to temper the divorce evils, a little restriction in tho awarding of that healing lotion of the divorce court, alimony, would undoubt edly lessen the number of divorces. Why should a woman without chil dren be able to compel her divorced husband to support herT Though the woman is usually allowed to get tho divorce, that does not mean that she is always the Injured party. Some eastern clubwomen recently Inquired Into the abuses of alimony with the purpose in view of bringing about an adjustment that will be fair to the alimony produc ing sex. Their energies are directed to ward preventing the granting of ali mony in advance of the trial of a di vorce suit, and to restricting the award lng of alimony to women without chil dren.

Fat. offlea WALTER ESTABLISHED 1780 How to R Every organ of your body is governed by a net work of nerve wires. These nerves convey the power which runs the human machine. This power is called nerve force. Nerve force is nothing but electricity. The reason any organ becomes weak is because the nerves which control it ack ' electricity, or nerve force, the motive power of your body. This lack of nerve force is shown by weakness of any kind, whether in the stomach, liver, kidneys, heart or other organs. If your memory, is poor, confidence and nerve ' all gone; sleep restless; if you suffer frequent headaches and your eyes are dull and heavy, it shows that your supply of nerve force is depleted. So many men try to build up nerve force by doping theirs stomachr with drugs. It is impos sible. What the nerves require is nourishment nerve food. If there was any nourishment in drugs they might do some good but you know there is not. Drugs are drugs, stimulants narcotics, an tidotes, poisons, not food, Electricity, is nerve food nerve life. It soaks in to the nerves and is taken up by them just as a sponge absorbs water. !It nour ishes and vitalizes the parts which drugs cannot reach. Every dose of drugs that you pu into your stomach weakens your nerves. Every -time you kill a pain or an. ache by atupefying the nerves with poisonous drugs you are hurting them, and anyone can see that in time, by .steady dosing, your nervou system will be completely broken down, n :. Electra-Vita is a" relief from the old system of drugging. It does. by natural means what you .expect drugs to do by unnatural means.
