BOISE RIVER VALLEY.
Irrigation Will Brine Blsrsrer Re.
turns Than Palmr Davya.
Gold was discovered in tbe Boise
River Valley, Idaho, in 1S62, and dur
inn tbe succeeding twentv-five years
S200.000.000 were taken out. 4 large
bnt evanescent population, flocked to
the Valley although the nearest railroad
was 200 mile away and everything bad
to be freighted in and out. But only
one crop of sold could be garnered and
the expectation was that when tbe pay-
dirt had all been panned, the valley of
the Boise, like many other mining dis
tricts, would vanish from tbe map as a
producing locality. Not so, however.
The output of tbe valley today from its
hundred or so tbonsand acres of splend
idly irrigated land is fast approaching
tbe profits realized from the mines dur
ing their best days. Certainly when
the enormous irrigation works which
are there being constructed by the
government are com, le ted the output
of agriculture will contribute to the
wood's wealth every year and for all
time thereafter, an amount much greater
than tbe usual products of tbe "basin
diggings during their palmiest
days, while the valley will support a
population of at least 200,000 people.
The state of Idibo is larger than all
New England, bat it has less than two
persons to tbe square mile. What it
needs is water; or tbe storage of the
melting snows from its vast mountain
ranges every year. Its climate is de
lightful and invigorating, with a latitude
of the south o' France and northern
Italy. The Boise Valley in the south
ern part of tho state lies at an elevation
' of about 2,500 feet and the lowest tem
perature daring the year is but slightly
under freezing.
In Boise Valley as in California in the
early da vs. tbe demand for food, and
the exorbitant prices for vegetnbles and
meat, induced some of the hardy Argo
nauts to break tbe rules of state and en
gage in what wan then considered the
humblest of occupations, the growing
of potatoes, caDbage and small fruits
With splended markets this industry
prospered and crew, and when the
placers were exhausted a thriving farm
ing community remained to develop
tbese permanent resourcesof the valley.
But ht'le of the "Klondyke" of 1894
remains. Its disappointments and lavish
rewards, its destitution and reckless
prodigality are things of tbe past. Today
it is difficult to realize that this valley
was one of the famous theaters where
reck'eos and darini; spirits were tbe
principal actors and where only the fit
left survived. Unlike many of the
Klondikes which have bad thtir day
during tbe past 60 year, this yalley
provided for tbe overflow, and the
npint of enterprise which prompted
thousands to brave all dangers in the
search for gold, fonnd a field here for
the exerciee of surplus energy in the
construction of canals and the recla
mation of the lands in adjacent valleys
Like the Mormon farmers, the early
tillers of the Boise Valley found irriga
tion Decessary and since tbe first crude
effort nearly $2,000,000 have been ex
pended in the construction of irrigation
tion works, and more than 100,000 acres
of land have been reclaimed. Sub
stantial cities and towns have grown
up, railroads cross the valley in every
direction, and from $30,000,000 to $40,
000,000 bave been added to tbe produc
tive capital of tbe west. Bnt the limit
for private enterprise has been reached.
Toe natural flow of the river bas been
fully utilized, and it is only by tbe con
struction of engineering works enor
mously 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 the owners of land in the
valley have harmonized all questions of
conflicting water rights and are now
preparing to cooperate heartily with tbe.
government in carrying forward what is
termed the Payett Boise project, the
largest of tbe national reclamation works
which has yet been approved by the
Secretary of the Interior.
Tbe construction of this grett svstem
will require several year and entails tbe
expenditure of nearly $3,000,000. The
trea to be reclaimed is 370.000 acres, or
more than twice the cultivated acreage
of Rbode Island. Tbe works consist of
storage reservoir on tbe headwaters of
the Pavette and B ise rivers, and in tbe
Boise valley the building of gigantic
dams on theee two rivers and about 200
miles of main canals. Tbe secretary
has authorized tbe initial construction
of a dam in Boise River, about 33 miles
of main canal, and a reservoir which
will be capable of storing water enongb
t jr the late irrigation of about 120,000
ac es of land in Boise Valley.

Tbe bids were opened at Boise, I Jano,
on February 1, 1906, and the contracts
provide for the expenditu'e by the
United States of about $1,000,000. The
Boise valley now bas a population of
about 30,000. It contains 50 per cent
more irrigable land and has more fa
vorable climate than the great Salt
Lake valley of Utah, which today sus
tains a population of about 150,000.

DAVIS IS FOUND GU1L.TY.
EX. Deputy Sheriff la In Umatilla
County Jail.
Pendleton, Or., Feb 3 C. P. Davie,
who is accused of having embezzled
$4200 from the office of the Sheriff of
Umatilla County while a deputy at the
office, was found guilty of tbe charge
this morning, after tbe jury had been
out 18 hours considering the case. Davis,
who is one of the most prominent ai d
wel'-known men of tbe county, ie in the
County Jail, over wbicbhe has presided
for many years, having been deserted
by his bondsmen as soon as tbe jury
mado its report this morning. He was
locked up in a cell by Sheriff lill D.
Taylor, who appointed him his chief de
puty several years ago and who reposed
every confidence in him up to tbe time
tbe shortage was discovered.
Notice has been given Judge Eire
the trial magistrate, that a motion for a
new trial will be made. It is contended
by the defense that Dave Carpi)!, one of
the jurors, was an enemy of the defen
dant and bad in past years threatened
to get even with him for having been
arrested and put in jail at one time by
Davis for being drunk. It is said that
Carg.il. became intoxicated Sunday
night and dii c issed the case pretty
freely, at that time expressing the op
inion that Davis was guilty and said he
would be convicted.
A persistent effort was made by Mrs
Davis to furnish bonds for her husband
during the afternoon but without sue
cess. fcbe offered to mortage the family
home in order to raise funds to allow
Davis to regain bis freedom, but was
not ab'e to secure tbe money on the
property. It is not thought hre that
Judge Ellis wil! grant the '.notion for a
new trial and to that event tbe case
will have to be taken direct to the Su
preme Court.
