4.000 feet, on the I'nlted Staus government
MllilUoka project in Cassia county.
Sain Uich, one of the foremost farinera
in North America, an authority of world
wide, fame is planting one orchard of 1.600
acrra. Aaaocialcd with him Is his son, f.
Urover ttlch, cashier of the Hurley 8tate
bank 8tid Leonard Fowler, a Chicago news
paper man. These men will produce from
this orchard in five years 213.100 boxes nf
apples or 408 carloads; or more than ten
solid freight tralnloads of forty cars to each
train. In ten years this production will be
doubled by this one orcharding company
alone. Tbe niarket is never a falling one
as tits crop for last year was S.000,000 boxes
short; for tills year the shortage will be
much greater.
The Vplted States government Is Install
ing an 4n menu power plant at the Jack"
son's lalee. Thls'fiower will only be needtd
for pumping during a short period of the
year and for the balance of the time will
be sold to the settlers at nominal cost.
Thus lighting, healing and power will be
matters of small cost. - '
The government lias built a complete set
of distributing canals which will carry
water to eacurnan's land. Theae works
are all built aa aubstantlal aa men and
money can. bulM them. ' Concrete and steel
are used for the headgates, concrete and
stone piers to all bridges. In fact, the
strength and durability of the workea con
trast strongly with the worka usually con
structed for such purposes. All this Is Im
portant, as upon tb permanent character
of the original structure depends very
largely the maintenance cost In the future.
There will bo. generated at the dam some
12 000-hori pow' This power will belong
to the s.ttlers when the government has
been repaid Its original expenditure and 'will
certainly pay all maintenance of the entire
system. v
When the . government began developing
the tract all of the land wns either gov
ernment land or state land.. All of the
land lias been platted Into whnt Is called
farm inltn.' Each farm unl'. contains
eighty 'acres, excepting land wiihln a
radius of one and one-halt miles of gov
ernment towns, which is reduced to forty
acre units. The title to government lands
la secured by homenteadlng In the ukusI
way, without" mjee, except that no commu
tation can be obtained, and the settlor Is
iu,uird to. reside ou tu laud tUv full five
years. The price of a water right Is about
25 .an acre, w hich must be raid the gov
ernment for constructing the works. The ,
payments are divided Into ten eiual an-,
nual installments, without Interest.
