It's ; all . there the deserted mother with her che-iild in her arms, ' followed . i all around by a fiendish wicked snow storm, the heroine lashed to the rails by the scoundrelly villain, the young woman fastened to the buzz saw of a lumber mill and about to be reduced to mincemeat.

What Irrigation Has Done Fqr Boise They have irrigation down to such a fine point in the Boise valley that they drain and. recapture the water from irrigated' districts and Irrigate other lands with it. It is a case ot using the same water twice for re claiming the soil; ,2 ' The man who passed over the sage brush plains ot that region a genera tion ago and supposed that men would never , Inhabit it could not make himself believe in a visit to It now that he was looking upon the same country. It is densely populated. There are thriving modern towns all over It. Nampa, WeiserJ Caldwell, Payette, Emmett and others have . paved streets, noble buildings and busy. thriving people. Every 40, 60, SO or 100 acres of the space between and around them is a farm, a' farm on which the owner is making money.; He Is producing alfalfa from which he has been getting around J 100 per acre per year, sometimes more. Veg etables are grown which are canned and sold all over the world,. One cannery puts up a. single vegetable,. and is one ot the biggest ot the can neries devoted to a single product in America. Wheat, fruits, potatoes and cereals of every variety are grown in prodigality. . . . '; ,. . . . . 1 Residents there claim that one acre nf MrHerntAH ltanH ' will siinnnr twn cows 'seven months in the year, or produce five to eight tons of alfalfa, or 14 to 20 tons of corn ensilage. CatUe and sheep which feed part of the season in distant mountains and other summer ranges are driven Into the valley to be fed through, the winter. ,' ' The federal government has spent ?16,729,842 on irrigation in Idaho. The' farmers have spent another sum. They have a district Irrigation law there very similar ' to that in Oregon. , '.."'"'.'-, ' In the Boise valley, 411,000 acres are under irrigation, ot which 174,- 000 are. In ultivaMon through far mers' ditches, and 240,000 under federal projects. The latter is mostly fed water impounded by the Arrow Rock dam, 350 feet high, Bald to be the highest in the world. It forms a lake 23 miles long and one to three miles wide, and is 23 miles distant from Boise. The dam is hollow, and by a lonr stairway, visitors go down into its dizzy and gloomy depths. Its foundation rests on bedrock, 90 feet below the toed of the impounded river. The lake is a famous fishing resort. ,- . .. ' The transformation of this sage brush desert into a busy beehive of productivity was the work of. irriga tion. Any one who looked upon the original semi-arid region as it was WILLIAM B.

The and beholds It now as it is, is forced to become a lifelong convert to recla mation. Primitively a wild in which only rabbits and sage hens could sur vive, it Is densely populated and traversed both by railroads and In- terurban lines with more building and to be built. " - r - The process In the Boise and Pay ette valleys and elsewhere, has raised Idaho into tar higher Importance, as a state. In population it is swiftly gaining on Oregon.'- It is doing the same in farm production. In area, Idaho is only .84,800 square miles against Oregon's 96,000, but it has a population approximating halt a mil lion against Oregonls three quarters. - At the head of the Boise valley Is Boise, a beautiful and - progressive city. It stood still in growth' and importance for a long period. . The homes .and farms that 'appeared on the former sage brush plain started It' on a new career, and Boise now has a population of 30,000. One third ot Its homes are heated with hot water.froni artesian wells within a mile of, the city. A huge natatorlum,. where an, orchestra plays at -night, is .heat4 in the same way.

Is credited with an output of gold aggregating 1300,000.000 in value. Within 100 miles are gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc which will ul timately develop enormous industries of which Boise will be the headquar ters and outlet. .- When -you know what Irrigation has done for Idaho, It is impossible not to favor every thing that will advance Irrigation in Oregon.
